2019

About the Item

"Champs Elysees" is an original pop art metal wall sculpture, handpainted by of well-known Israeli artist David Gerstein. This metal wall sculpture contains three layers, depicts a street scene on the Champs Elysees in Paris, and has a simple hanging system to attach to any wall from the back. Pop impressionism on steel. 120 x 50 x 17 cm. Comes with Certificate. David Gerstein (born 1944 in Jerusalem, Israel) is a painter and a sculptor, an excellent draughtsman and craftsman, who seeks to expand the limits of two-dimensional paintings into three-dimensional sculptures. In his choice of subject matter he wishes to break down the existing barriers between the work of art and its audience, by creating enchanted and simple straightforward images, which render sometimes intimate, dream-like, naive scenes and at ther times a cinematic, large scale, choreographed reality. It is between pop and hard place: pop impressionism on steel. Authentic, fun and colorful.

    By Tom Wesselmann
    Located in Ljubljana, SI
    Hedy. Original color steelcut (alkyd oil paint on cut-out steel), 1985/90. Edition of 25 signed and numbered impressions on cut-out steel. Tom Wesselmann is one of the biggest American pop artists today. Even he did not like being labeled a pop artist, it is hard to imagine that his artworks featuring consumer goods and assorted American icons would be considered anything but pop art. At first he was a follower of abstract expressionism, but later switched to figurative art. In the late ‘50s he produced a series of small format collages, which became the basis for his future nudes and still life. In 1963 he married Claire Selley, his most faithful model from the series Great American Nude, and other nudes. In his search for creative styles he began to produce three-dimensional works with the technique of assemblage, using everyday objects such as telephones and televisions. In the Still Life series he used advertising techniques and complemented traditional still life with mass consumption items taken directly from ads. In the ‘80s he began to work with metals and produced original works with a special laser. Over the next two decades he returned to large formats and the theme of the nude from the ‘60s, rounding off his career with The Sunset Nude series, inspired by the works of Matisse. Tom Wesselmann went down in history as one of the greatest representatives of pop art due to his exciting commercial images, his aggressive intervention in three dimensions, his choice of trivial motifs, their monumentalization, the use of stereotypes as a basis for his work and the choice of strong colors. Wesselmann’s aesthetic usage of everyday objects was done not in criticism of American consumerism and culture, but as a way to render Classical genres modern so as to explore the gap between art and contemporary life. This 'steel drawing' or doodle, as he called artwork from that series, shows Wesselmann's skills and innovation in terms of technology and media. ‘My original idea, that began the cut-outs, was to preserve the process and immediacy of my drawings from life, complete with the false lines and errors, and realize them in steel. It was as though the lines had just been miraculously drawn in steel. At the same time, I pursued another idea – to make tiny, very fast doodles, which I would then enlarge in cut-out metal, preserving the feel and spontaneity of the tiny sketch…' - said the artist.

    Circle Drawing: 10 Layers, graphite on paper with gouache, gold and silver, by Carali McCall (2019).

As cutaways, excitingly, this new work advances the elaboration of McCall’s contemporary art practice. In new condition.
