About the Item
Behind this soft form, a colossal monster, whose shape is not specified. Leviathan, well known in pre-biblical sources, engages in a primordial battle between the Creator and the marine forces.
For a certain Thomas Hobbes, in 1651, Leviathan is a metaphor for the state. Victor Hugo used Leviathan to evoke a huge ocean liner under construction in Great Britain...

Born in 1960 in Lille, France, Anne Millot is a self-taught artist. After attending evening classes to satisfy her need for creation while she lived in Paris and later Brittany, she decides in 2010 to truly dedicate herself to art and settles in Paris. She then opens her Parisian workshop and takes training courses in ceramics and enamel techniques. At first she sculpts faces, however she gradually takes an interest in the nose and all of its dimensions, such as its sexual symbolism, its olfactory utility or the character and expressions it conveys. Focusing on the nose as the centre of her work, Anne Millot isolates it from the rest of the face in order to show it exclusively. She draws her inspiration from a variety of subjects, from cinema stars to mythological creatures as well as perfumers (also known as « noses »). Anne Millot makes every sculpture - earthenware, stoneware and porcelain - in her workshop where she also creates her own enamels. Thanks to a technical and detailed association of forms, brightness and colors, she conveys a precise and humoristic retranscription of the harmony and personality of the noses she draws her inspiration from.

- Balloon Dog (Blue)By Jeff KoonsLocated in Malmo, SEBalloon Dog (Blue) 2021. Porcelain with metallic chromatic coating Limited edition of 69/799 ex. Certificate of authenticity and the original box. Incised signature, edition number, titled and dated on the underside. Produced by Bernardaud, Limoges, France. Jeff Koons is an American pop artist, born in York, Pennsylvania in 1955 to a mother who was a seamstress and a father who worked as an interior decorator. He is known for working with popular culture subjects and for his reproductions of banal objects. His works have sold for important amounts, including one world record auction price for a work by a living artist. Jeff Koons had an early interest in art and as a teenager he admired Salvador Dalí. He studied painting at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. As a student he met the artist Ed Paschke who became a major influence and for whom he worked as a studio assistant in the late 1970’s. In 1977 Jeff Koons moved to New York City where he worked at the Museum of Modern Art whilst establishing himself as an artist. In the 1980’s he began working as a Wall Street commodities broker in order to finance his art projects. He wanted to be independent from the art market and has expressed that: ”I could make exactly what art I wanted to make. And I would always know that I didn’t need the art market.” In the mid-1980’s Jeff Koons gained prominence and recognition as part of a generation of artists who explored the meaning af art in a media-saturated era. He set up a factory-like studio in a SoHo loft with over 30 assistants. Since his first solo exhibition in 1980 Jeff Koon’s work has been shown in major galleries and institutions throughout the world. His work was the subject of a major exhibition organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art, Jeff Koons: A Retrospective in 2014, which traveled to the Centre Pompidou Paris and then further to Guggenheim Bilbao in 2015. His most recent series, Gazing Ball Paintings, was exhibited for the first time at Gagosian Gallery, New York in 2015. The artist has earned renown for his public sculptures, such as the monumental...Category
