About the Item

Stéphane COUTURIER (*1957, France) Reims – Champagne – From Lurçat's point of view, 2023 Archival pigment print Sheet 80 x 87 cm (31 1/2 x 34 1/4 in.) Edition of 5 (#1/5) Framed print Born in 1957 in Neuilly sur Seine, Stéphane Couturier currently lives and works in Paris. In 1994, Stéphane Couturier showed his first works in a series called 'Urban Archaeology', viewing the city as a living organism with multiple aspects. He photographed it deliberately avoiding anything that suggested poetry, nostalgia or strangeness. From 1999 on, Stéphane Couturier was increasingly drawn to suburbs and began to focus on a different type of landscape: on the one hand, by tackling housing blocks and high-rises in his 'Monuments' series; on the other, by photographing mushrooming housing developments.These generic cities soon became his favorite subject. – Reims 'In Reims, I was naturally drawn to the unmissable places like the cathedral or the halls of Boulingrin, but I also wanted to explore everyday places in the settlements, like the Croix-Rouge neighbourhood. Because unlike the monument, the housing module creates a rational and utilitarian functionality that is extremely simplified and negates any historicity of the place. I have combined these fragments of modular architecture with other sculptural elements such as those of Imi Knoebel in Reims Cathedral, of Jean Lurçat in his tapestry 'Champagne' or even of Victor Vasarely with his works on urban art, in a form of reconciliation of the arts.' – Stéphane Couturier – Art, Contemporary, Colour, Architecture, Photography, Geometry, Graphics, Structured, Pattern, Building, Lurçat

  • back door 48 – Michael Wolf, Cityscape, Hongkong, Street Photography, Pink dog
    By Michael Wolf
    Located in Zurich, CH
    Michael WOLF (1954 – 2019, Germany) back door 48, 2003 Archival Pigment Print on Hahnemuehle art rag paper 40.6 x 50.8 cm (16 x 20 in.) Edition of 9, plus 2 AP; Ed. no. 2/9 Michael Wolf was born in 1954 in Munich, Germany. He worked and lived in Paris and Hong Kong where he died in April 2019. The focus of Michael Wolf’s work is life in mega-cities. His projects document both the architecture and the vernacular culture of metropolises. Born in Munich, Wolf grew up in Canada, Europe, and the United States, studying at UC Berkeley and at the Folkwang School with Otto Steinert in Essen, Germany. He moved to Hong Kong in 1994, where he worked for eight years as a contract photographer for Stern magazine. Since 2003, Wolf has been focusing on his own projects, publishing over thirty books of his work. His work is held in many permanent collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Brooklyn Museum, the San Jose Museum of Art in California, the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago, the Museum Folkwang in Essen, the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, and M+ in Hong Kong. back door: The dark back alleys that crisscross the city are home to objects that, at first glance, seem to be discarded—the random detritus of the man-made world. Under the scrutiny of Michael Wolf's photographic eye, these objects become fascinating installation pieces, while the abstract patterns of the buildings reveal the beauty and order that underlie the apparent chaos of the city. Thought-provoking texts by Kenneth Baker and Douglas Young explore the choices that people make of lifestyle, form, function, identity, and design, as well as the notion of Hong Kong as a brand. – Art, Cityscape, Architecture, City, Michael Wolf, Street Photography, Colour Photography, Hong Kong, Pink dog...
