About the Item

Yasumasa Morimura – An Inner Dialogue with Frida Kahlo (Fairy Tale), 2001 C-print on canvas, signed and numbered 3/5 on label affixed to the reverse. Measurements (with frame): W 124 × H 94.5 × D 7 cm Exceptional work by Yasumasa Morimura (Osaka, 1951), one of Japan’s most celebrated contemporary artists, internationally renowned for his photographic self-portraits in which he reinterprets and embodies iconic figures from art history and popular culture. Executed in 2001, An Inner Dialogue with Frida Kahlo (Fairy Tale) belongs to Morimura’s acclaimed series of works in which he adopts the persona of Frida Kahlo, exploring issues of identity, gender, and cultural appropriation. By merging his own image with that of the Mexican painter, Morimura creates a dialogue that questions originality, authorship, and the construction of artistic mythologies. The work is a C-print on canvas, signed and numbered 3/5, and is presented in its original artist’s frame, a solid wood structure covered in gold leaf, which enhances its aura and rarity. Bibliography: Published in Aperture – Daughter of Art History. Yasumasa Morimura (2003), one of the most important monographs dedicated to the artist, further underlining the significance and collectability of this piece. This artwork exemplifies Morimura’s unique artistic language, where humor, irony, and historical reflection converge, making it a landmark example for collectors of contemporary Japanese art and photography.

Contemporary Modern The Hilton Brothers Portraits of Andy Warhol, 2007
Located in Madrid, MD
Andy Dandy (TEN), 2007 The Hilton Brothers (Christopher Makos y Paul Solberg). Pigmented inks on photographic paper. 5/5 Edition. The Hilton Brothers latest collaboration, ANDYDANDY, is a portfolio of 20 digital pigment prints. All are diptychs that combine images from Makos "Altered Image" portraits of Andy Warhol with flower images from Solberg's "Bloom" series. The images of Andy Warhol in "Andy Dandy" are the result of a 1981 collaboration between Makos and Warhol called "Altered Image", through which the photographer and his subject used unexpected combinations of simple elements to explore Identity, as did Man Ray (Makos' mentor) and Duchamp decades earlier. Warhol slightly altered his appearance with make-up and a wig, otherwise remaining in his street clothes. It was all the outward change Warhol felt he needed. Andy said, "I'm not trying to look beautiful like Elizabeth Taylor, I'm trying to show what it feels like to be beautiful like Elizabeth Taylor." Solberg's photographs of single flowers, exquisitely composed and lit, pare the images down to the intensity of color and form. Solberg undertook his study of flowers as an exercise in using light...
