About the Item

The Bruce High Quality Foundation "Self Portrait (Sometimes That Just Happens)" 18" x 14" Signed edition of 50 (Signed on Certificate) 2014 What is a self-portrait of an anonymous artist? The Bruce High Quality Foundation, known for their humorous and irreverent projects and performances that often take a subversive and critical stance towards the current market’s seemingly insatiable appetite for hyped new artists, answers this question ad nauseum by insinuating the image cum icon of their namesake, Bruce High Quality, into thousands of images from popular culture and art history. Simultaneously a face and a mask, an insertion into history and a blotting out, the Foundation uses the problematic of its own existence to metonymically reveal the tenuous footholds of truth, history, and humanity. “Self Portrait (Sometimes That Just Happens)” sees Bruce High Quality as a young pop idol, repurposing Michael Jordan’s iconic #23 Bulls jersey, a symbol of aspirant African American masculinity, as one of exuberant tween sexuality. Sometimes That Just Happens is in the spirit of Warhol while also looking in a way at Duchamp's 1919 L.H.O.O.Q in it's defacing of a print of Mona Lisa. The BHQF was featured in the 2010 Whitney Biennial, as well as other group exhibitions at MoMA PS1 in Queens, Acquavella Gallery in New York, and Centre Pompidou in Paris, among others.

Truth & Beauty - SOLD - Commission an option
By Greg Miller
Located in New York, NY
Pepsi Cola Cap Homage with female theme. About the Artist: Drawing from the diverse cultural and geographic makeup of his Californian roots, Greg Miller explores his relationship with the space he inhabits to communicate a particular urban experience. Working with both paint and collage, he constructs and deconstructs exploring the contradiction, ambiguity, and truth between urban streetscape and history. Miller’s art is clever and cool. His abstracted backgrounds of drips, patterns, and phrases and the peeling back of layers provide a study in the impermanence of the things that surround us. His large-scale paintings and installations aim to make the most fleeting parts of American culture tangible. They grab us nostalgically, rousing us to enjoy the momentary beauty found in the impermanent parts of our lives. There is a fragile heroicness conveyed within the temporary nature of it all, especially within his construction of paper, wood, and natural materials, that gives Miller’s work liveliness and depth. Greg Miller’s work is featured in numerous museum and private collections that have traveled internationally including those organized by the Charles Saatchi Collection and the Frederick R. Weisman...
