1988

About the Item

Cast Beracryl rubber, diameter 11 4/5” (30 cm), Ed. 120, signed and numbered “In appearance, the work of Fischli/Weiss is ironic and humorous; oscillating between game and joke, it seems to mock the seriousness of art. The artists’ combinations of things and objects, figures and actions, whether in balance or in movement, tend to restore the value of wit and playfulness to creative commitment, but their goal is to contest the claim to truth, to contest the absolutism of the art process, repudiating cleverness and replacing it with inept intentions… or removing its core… or even collapsing it.” Germano Celant, Parkett No. 17, 1988

  • Bamboo Forest (6 glass panels) - abstract observation of iconic Japanese grove
    By Erik Pawassar
    Located in San Francisco, CA
    large scale abstract panoramic photograph of lush emerald green nature biotope, a highly detailed observation of the natural beauty of Japan's famous Arashiyama Bamboo Grove Bamboo Forest by Erik Pawassar 48 x 175 inches (122 x 444cm) six individual glass panels (48 x 29 inches / each) signed edition of 7 archival quality fine art pigment print “Frameless” acrylic glass mounting * artist signed + numbered certificate of authenticity ________________________ About the artist: Erik Pawassar's work focuses on the beauty of the disregarded or mundane object. The subjects for his striking and captivating visuals are typically set in the most ordinary environments, drawing the viewer into a charged but serene experience based on composition, palette and formal lines. Saturated in color, the nominal subjects gather a haunting and mesmerizing quality, creating a poignant pretext for the making of a formal color photograph. Decisively capturing the traces left by humanity, Pawassar's images are filled with a sense of universal nostalgia and pay homage to the passage of time and the extinguished moment, referencing documentary and street photographers like Henri Cartier-Bresson, Sebastian Salgado...

  • Bruni vs Sarkosy, After Comte
    By Alex Guofeng Cao
    Located in New York, NY
    In a captivating new collection, Alex Guofeng Cao dazzles audiences with his unique twist on instantly recognizable images. Inspired by history and pop culture, Cao manipulates one iconic image to create another in his extraordinary large-scale works. From a distance, the pieces appear to be a singular image but as the viewer approaches closer, you find each work is a masterfully crafted compilation of minute detailed images layered next to one another, creating a mesmerizing and hypnotic optical illusion. Cao meticulously places each smaller image to form a dynamic gradient from dark to light which tricks the eye into seeing one image. This expertise in contrast is exemplified in all of his works, from striking black and white pieces to stunning explorations in high-definition color. He cleverly mirrors this visual contrast in his subject matter by subverting the main image and creating a dialogue between the macrocosm and microcosm. Take the piece, Ali vs Armstrong; here we see the iconic image of Muhammed Ali’s victory composed of thousands of tiny portraits...
