About the Item
Denied Warhol Mona Lisa Reversal Silkscreen Painting
Charles Lutz
20 x 26"
2008
Silkscreen on canvas
Lutz's 2007 ''Warhol Denied'' series gained him international attention calling into question the importance of originality or lack thereof in the work of Andy Warhol. The authentication/denial process of the [[Andy Warhol Art Authentication Board]] was used to create value by submitting recreations of Warhol works for judgment with the full intention for the works to be formally marked "DENIED". The final product of the conceptual project being "officially denied" "Warhol" paintings authored by Lutz. (All works have the Warhol Art Authentication Board's Denied stamp on the back)
Also known for Babel, an installation work Lutz exhibited at the 2013 Armory Fair in New York City which caused near riots as he invited the fairgoers to take cardboard versions of the Brillo Box Sculptures.
Lutz's Denied version of Andy Warhol's Mona Lisa is a reference to Warhol's idea of retrospective, Where in the 1980's he revisited a number of his famous subjects including Liz Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, the Campbell's Soup Cans, Flowers and Electric Chairs. In 1963, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York exhibited the Mona Lisa on loan from the Louvre. Over one million people clamored to see her during her stay at the Museum, one of which was Andy Warhol. Undoubtedly, this was a major experience for Warhol, and the catalyst for his series of Mona Lisa from the same year which he revisited later in his career. Using a monochromatic pallet of warm cream tones, Lutz's Denied Mona Lisa is a triumph in minimalism, while also being extremely complex in its implications regarding the idea of the original. This particular work is not only a Denied Warhol based on Leonardo Da Vinci, but also references Marcel Duchamp whose work, L.H.O.O.Q., is a ready-made mocking the original Da Vinci masterpiece.
Lutz has been exhibited and done major projects with The New Museum, New York, NY, The Armory Show, New York, NY, Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh, PA, The Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh, PA, Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art, Rotterdam, Netherlands, Artipelag Museum, Stockholm Sweden amongst others. Lutz lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.

Charles Lutz
Charles Lutz received his BFA in painting and art history from Pratt Institute and studied human dissection and anatomy at Columbia University, New York. Lutz's work deals with perceptions and value structures, specifically the idea of the transference of values.
Lutz's 2007 “Warhol Denied” series received international attention calling into question the importance of originality in a work of art. The valuation process (authentication or denial) of the Andy Warhol Art Authentication Board was used by the artist to create value by submitting recreations of Andy Warhol works for judgment, with the full intention for the works to be formally marked "DENIED" of their authenticity. The final product of this conceptual project being "Officially DENIED" "Warhol" paintings authored by Lutz.
Later in 2013, Lutz went on to do one of his largest public installations to date. At the 100th anniversary of Marcel Duchamp's groundbreaking and controversial Armory Show, Lutz was asked by the curator of Armory Focus: USA and former director of the Andy Warhol Museum, Eric Shiner, to create a site-specific installation representing the United States. The installation "Babel" (based on Pieter Bruegel's famous painting) consisted of 1,500 cardboard replicas of Warhol's Brillo Box (Stockholm Type) stacked 20 feet tall. All 1,500 boxes were then given to the public freely, debasing the Brillo Box as an art commodity by removing its value, in addition to debasing its willing consumers.

Located in Frederiksberg C, DK
An exquisite contemporary painting by Dutch artist, Hans Bouman.
In this painting Bouman creates a captivating interplay of colors and forms that gives rise to an enigmatic abstract face that invites interpretation and contemplation. This captivating large-scale abstract painting is a harmonious blend of warm white, earthy tones, invigorating orange, and calming blue hues.
