About the Item
Collaborating with Douglas Gordon is by itself, an extraordinary experience. The sulfurous Scottish artist entrusted LITO Editions with four new artworks from its most emblematic series, the Self Portraits. He challenged us to transpose not only the relief of his peculiar liquids and odd molten mixtures but also to recreate the very texture of burnt paper. The challenge has been brilliantly met. The artist or sorcerer, invited us to celebrate the prowess during the signature of the limited editions in a quasi-shamanic dancing performance in his studio in Berlin. The pulse, the immediacy, the sulphur as well as the tension fully vibrate throughout this mesmerizing and fundamental print.
Celebrity amongst the celebrities, Douglas Gordon summons Elvis Presley and re-appropriates the portrait that the king of Pop Art, Andy Warhol, has made iconic. The consumed and burn-out persona, is placed in front of a mirror of which the holes allow one’s reflection. This strange mise-en-abîme is the ultimate vanitas. A sublime and dark artwork that questions our relation to image, to its purity and to its consumption, time after time, era after era.

- Backyard Garden, Yue Minjun - Art, Lithograph, Limited Edition, China Art, PrintBy Yue MinjunLocated in Zug, CHYue Minjun, Backyard Garden Contemporary, 21st Century, Lithograph, Limited Edition, Chinese Lithograph Edition of 130 80 x 120 cm (47 1/5 × 31 1/2 in) Stamped Signature, numbered in Roman numerals In mint condition, as acquired from the publisher PLEASE NOTE: Edition numbers could vary from the one shown in the pictures. The pictures shown are only for illustrative reasons, the piece is offered unframed. The print is mounted on double sheet of paper with a poem on one spread and print on the other. Backyard Garden belongs to the set of twenty lithographs from the “Snatched Ecstasy of Yue Minjun”, which comes as a limited edition of 130 rare books. The work of Yue Minjun is instantly recognizable with its uniform laughing faces, the artist's faces. Minjun creates various realities against which the laughing figures are rendered, thus creating ambiguous images, often with the sinister atmosphere, which comes as his personal cynical reaction to various social and political dimensions of contemporary Chinese realities. Immediately humorous and sympathetic, Yue Minjun’s paintings offer a light-hearted approach to philosophical enquiry and contemplation of existence. Yue’s self-portraits have been describe by theorist Li Xianting as “a self-ironic response to the spiritual vacuum and folly of modern-day China”, thus the acidic tones and commercialized vacuity of his works are used to underscore the insincerity of his figures’ mirth. “Art should be an expression of one's particular feelings and should be direct and deep. So I drew one person, and then added another and another until there were crowds of them. Then I felt my emotions to be fully expressed.„ —Yue Minjun YUE MINJUN Yue Min-Jun (born 1962, Daqing, China) is one of the leading Chinese artists. He is best known for oil paintings depicting formations of his laughing self-portraits in various settings. His iconography is easily recognisable, it challenges social and cultural conventions by depicting objects and political issues in a radical, abstract, ironic and cynical manner. Yue Min-Jun initially started painting as a hobby, subsequently he graduated from the Oil Painting Department of Hebei Normal University, China in 1985. In the 90s he joined an artist community in Yuan Ming...Category
