John Salt Art
British, b. 1937
John Salt (b. 1937 - ) is an English artist, whose greatly detailed paintings from the late 1960s onwards made him one of the pioneers of the photorealist school. Although Salt's work has developed through several distinct phases, it has generally focused on images of cars, often shown wrecked or abandoned within a suburban or semi-rural American landscape, with the banality and dishevelment of the subject matter contrasting with the immaculate and meticulous nature of the work's execution. His father was a motor repair garage owner, whose stepfather in turn had been a signwriter painting stripes on the bodies of cars. As a young boy Salt was encouraged to draw and paint, and at the age of fifteen he gained admittance to the Birmingham School of Art, where he studied from 1952 to 1958. He studied at numerous other well-known art schools in England and the US, influenced by the work of English artist Prunella Clough and American Pop Art figures such as Robert Rauschenberg. Salt sought a more distinct artistic identity and was encouraged to explore a wide variety of styles and techniques, ultimately leading to and interest in photographers Garry Winogrand and Lee Friedlander, and how their documentary style relieved them of the self-conscious need to adopt an artistic technique.to

JR Au Palais De Tokyo, 28 Aout 2020, 16h12, Paris, France, 2020
Contemporary, 21st Century, Lithograph, Limited Edition
Lithograph
Edition of 180
70 x 100 cm (27.5 x 39.5 in.)
Signed on the bottom right corner (stamp and lead), numbered on the bottom left corner
Accompanied by Certificate of Authenticity
In mint condition, as acquired from the publisher
The piece is offered unframed. Edition number might vary from what is shown in the images.
The street artist and photographer JR started out his artist practice in the streets of Paris. Using the pseudonym JR, the artist is keeping his identity hidden from the public.
As part of the "Jusqu'ici tout va bien", an exhibition by students from the Kourtrajmé school that JR is in charge of the art section of the school, JR created a pasting on the facade of the Palais de Tokyo, in Paris, through an anamorphic image.
The collage was visible from August until September 2020, between the buildings of Clichy-Montfermeil and the Eiffel Tower, whose shadow is outlined on the visual in anamorphosis.
What is very characteristic of JR’s art is the impermanence nature of the project, which the only way that the installation is captured, is through the creation of this lithograph - commemorating its presence, as the sun dries the glue, and the wind and rain tears the fragile paper with every moment.
