Ugo Rondinone

2009

About the Item

Ugo Rondinone, Stars Contemporary, 21st Century, Silkscreen, Limited Edition, Skyscapes Silkscreen Edition of 300 105 x 74.7 cm (41.3 x 29.4 in) Signed and numbered, accompanied by Certificate of Authenticity In mint condition, as acquired from the publisher The vision of this vast space at dusk seems to come straight from a child’s imagination. Ugo Rondinone finds the perfect balance of white specks on impassive black backgrounds, horizons shattered by the intensity of the darkened volumes. "My work is always very basic and almost childlike. It’s something people can really rely on." — Ugo Rondinone The technique is unbearably simple yet the artist manages to capture the night and make its fantasies become tangible; the unknown, the emptiness, the space, and the mystic echo of these magical and surreal “apparitions.” In a similar way to his large star paintings, he here manages to create a sense of silence. Even though his work can be linked to the world of esotericism, it still has a refreshing humorous side, just like in this ‘fabricated’ night. UGO RONDINONE Ugo Rondinone (born 1964, in Brunnen, Switzerland) studied at the University of Applied Arts Vienna (in Austria) from 1986 to 1990. Rondinone works with various media, such as photography, video, sculpture, painting, installation art and prints, and often appropriates phrases from literature and popular culture for his art. Ugo Rondinone (born 1964, in Brunnen, Switzerland) studied at the University of Applied Arts Vienna (in Austria) from 1986 to 1990. Rondinone works with various media, such as photography, video, sculpture, painting, installation art, and prints, and often appropriates phrases from literature and popular culture for his art. Many of his works involve the use of signage – like his rainbow-colored sculpture Hell, Yes! (2001), which long adorned the facade of the New Museum in New York – while other of his works tend to coax the viewer into a meditative state. "I always take one work from the previous show and give it a new setting in the new show... just to have a thread for myself... so that it becomes like a book." —Ugo Rondinone His work is tinged with melancholy, as he connects the beautiful with the strange, and the clumsy with the naked truth. Ugo Rondinone seems intent on using dissimulation to better reveal reality, as to mask it, and to exaggerate its features, which is a means of revealing human nature. Behind his art, there are Bosch and the Romantics, as well as a disenchanted and skeptical gaze on the world. And yet at the same time, Rondinone shows us possibilities in the making, as well as humor – and what could be better than humor during times of adversity?

  • Yellow Tulips - Contemporary, 21st Century, Silkscreen, Limited Edition, Katz
    By Alex Katz
    Located in Zug, CH
    Alex Katz, Yellow Tulips Contemporary, 21st Century, Silkscreen, Limited Edition Edition of 50 + 5 PP + 15 AP 122,5 x 195,7 cm (48.2 x 77 in.) Signed and numbered on the front In mint condition, as acquired from the publisher (Lococo) PLEASE NOTE: Edition numbers could vary from the one shown in the images. All edition available come from the edition /50 The pictures are only for illustrative reasons, the work is offered unframed. “Yellow Tulips” is part of the famous flower painting series by Alex Katz. The aesthetics of flowers such as flags, tulips, and roses has been continuously explored by the artist throughout his career. "I generally start with oil sketches, because I can paint more quickly than I can draw. In this way I try to capture the sensation of what I’m doing, getting into the unconscious and creating the images, and then figuring out what I did." — Alex Katz Katz has been painting flowers since the 1960s, often during his summer residencies in Maine. The cropped, flattened composition displays a debt to Japanese woodblock art printing. The American artist is well-known for his large paintings, whose bold simplicity and unmodulated colours are now seen as precursors of Pop Art. "Yellow Tulips" is another of Katz's wonderfully bright exploration of nature and the landscape. He represents the volumes and colors created by the natural light, this artwork breathes nature, the radiant yellow delights the vision against the limitless black background. The painting “Tulips 4” which this edition is based on belongs to the Collection of Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. ALEX KATZ Alex Katz (American, born 1927) is the outstanding protagonist of figurative painting and one of our era's most acclaimed artists. In the late 1950s, the artist began to develop his mature style, characterized by elegance, simplicity, and stylized abstraction, which typifies his entire production. Alex Katz’s paintings...
