Provenance: the Ginny L Williams collection. Williams was a major art collector and photo dealer. She had been an early champion of women’s art and she collected many of the biggest female names in modernism, such as Helen Frankenthaler and Louise Bourgeois. She also collected international art stars such as Sandy Skoglund, Joel Peter-Witkin and Thomas Ruff. She served on the Denver Art Museums board of trustees and also served on the boards of the Guggenheim in New York and the Hirschhorn in Washington, D.C.
Born in 1952, Pascal Kern lived and worked in Paris, France where he studied at the Sorbonne. For much of his career, Kern used photography to produce sculpture which explore the question of volume in all its aspects: the relationships between volume and surface, fullness and emptiness, mass and color, depth and contour. The enigma of Kern‘s artwork lies in his questioning of the boundaries of sculpture, photograph, fiction, and function. The presentation of the life-size cibachrome photographs as diptychs, triptychs or polyptychs underscores the sculptural element of the work. Using found or natural forms, he elevates the every-day to an almost Iconic status; fascinated with the space created and occupied by the subject, and the purity of it’s form. The metal industrial objects and wooden moulds are retrieved from old factories and foundries, while the vegetables are grown from seed. The artist lived with his subject matter for a period of time before photographing, taking only one photograph which is later reproduced to life-sized. The cibachrome photographs of each subject are presented as diptychs, triptychs or polyptychs, in frames constructed with related materials. The final stage in the long process of crafting these incredible works is for them to be hung specifically (with precise instructions from the artist) to achieve a perfect balance ; the work appearing almost weightless whilst creating an unusually powerful presence.
