About the Item

Erwin Wurm is widely recognized as a prominent contemporary sculptor. Taking on a new approach, the artist explores his first encounter with flat canvases and paint, thus creating what he names Flat Sculptures. Erwin Wurm Portfolio (Shine, Light, Wobbly, Melt), 2023 Relief print on canvas 100 × 80 × 4.5 cm (39.4 × 31.5 × 1.8 in) Signed and numbered Edition of 50 PLEASE NOTE: Images of edition number are example references only. The seller can only provide the specific edition number to buyers at the actual point of sale. Please message the seller to request this information at the point of purchase. Erwin Wurm is widely recognized as a prominent sculptor in contemporary art. Throughout his entire career Wurm has sought to manipulate and deconstruct sculptures, keeping in mind the expansion and exploration of dimensions, weight and volume. Taking a new approach with sculptures, the artist explores his first encounter with flat canvas and painting, thus creating what he names Flat Sculptures. The four Flat Sculptures: Shine, Light, Melt and Wobbly belong to a series of limited edition works, edited in collaboration with LITO and inspired by Wurm drawing from his Skins exhibition, also presenting some Flat Sculptures works. The artist claims to start the process for these sculptures by looking for a fitting word, deconstructing it and redefining it in an abstract process, making it difficult to read, “there is a distance between what is obviously the word and what you see, and you have to fight for it” said Wurm. Available individually or as a set of four. Produced using high-rendered print technology. “Two dimensionality, three dimensionality, mass, skin, surface, volume are important parts of my research on sculpture. Squeezed and flattened or reduced to a very thin form, my new works have a certain fragility, which I like: they become almost abstract.„ —Erwin Wurm

  • Backyard Garden, Yue Minjun - Art, Lithograph, Limited Edition, China Art, Print
    By Yue Minjun
    Located in Zug, CH
    Yue 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...
