Reginald Case
Geruchte (Rumors, Referring to Persecution of Jews) Original Collage

1978

About the Item

Reginald Case (1937-2009) Geruchte: Rumors, Referring to persecution of Jews Case continued with contemporary works of Barbie and Madonna (entertainer) that reflected the glamour of an earlier era. In these there is an iconography of twentieth-century life that explores the imagery at the roots of American history and popular culture. In a recent series conmsisting of four groups of photo collage prints, Case has depicted Marilyn Monroe in variations called "MARILYN MONEY". This series substitutes her image for American currency and are notated with quotations by her reflecting on her life, e.g. "Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul." Additional works by Case have made oblique references to 9/11 in his series of Gouache Heads, "365 Views of Delray Beach" and the series of New York City altered painted photographs. Each of these series cast a shadow on the event as seen from a distance of TV or Photographic News images. His work was shown for many years at the Allan Stone Gallery, NYC, along with the paintings of Richard Estes and Wayne Thiebaud. He has also had major museum exhibitions of his work shown at the Everson Museum of Art, Syracuse, NY; Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute, Utica, NY;Reading Museum, Reading, PA; and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond, VA. Case’s work is also represented in many private and public collections, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA; Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington D.C.; The British Museum, London; The Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA; The Jewish Museum, NYC; The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, NYC; The Victoria and Albert Museum, London; Yad Vashem, Jerusalem, Israel and others. An exhibition showing many of the iconic Collages & Assemblages by Case will be at The Butler Institute of American Art from October 12 through December 31, 2008. Louis A. Zona, Director of the Butler Institute of American Art, writes in the exhibition catalog, " The work of Reg Case recalls the genius of Joseph Cornell and salutes as well the singular vision of Robert Rauschenberg. Like Warhol, he both pays tribute to such pop culture icons as Marilyn Monroe, Elvis and Madonna and simultaneously causes us to reflect upon the superficiallity of much of what we hold precious."
