Shigeru Taniguchi Prints and Multiples

Japanese, b. 1948
Taniguchi was born in Fukuoka in 1948. After finishing high school, he left the southern island of Kyushu and relocated to metropolitan Tokyo. He pursued art part-time while illustrating books and working at a commercial printing company. Unlike many contemporary Japanese artists, who deliberately choose and then refine one specific theme throughout their career, Taniguchi’s themes varied widely, based on whatever he was interested in at the time. This led to works of stunning imagination and creativity -- from a series on Noh, to prints inspired by his idols Man Ray and Jasper Johns, to several prints around the theme of brushes. Each new edition of his prints was a huge success with our customers and his silkscreens were accepted by a myriad of international biennales, at several of which he was awarded the top prize. Everything was grist for his creative mill, and it was always an exciting time when Taniguchi-san came to show us a new silkscreen edition. My family members often recognized items from our home that we had planned on discarding but that he found exciting – customs forms, luggage labels, discarded tags, stamps, newspapers, photographs – all were incorporated into his work. Revisiting his prints today often feels as though I am viewing a unique family memory album especially those that feature family photos or images of the first Tolman Collection of Tokyo location. In 2005, a fire destroyed the artist’s home and studio which resulted in a series of strong black and white paintings and then nothing. Taniguchi-san went to work at 7-Eleven to pay the bills while waiting for creative inspiration. At the end of 2008, he disappeared. The Tolman Collection of Tokyo was listed as his next of kin, so we were notified, and the Tokyo gallery had the arduous and depressing task of disposing of everything in Taniguchi’s home. No one has heard from him since, and no body has ever been found. Had this been an artist who I did not know, I might tell this anecdotally, as a sad cautionary tale of how artists need to learn to balance pure artistic vision with the worldliness needed to do business in the "real" world but, since Taniguchi-san was a beloved intrinsic part of my childhood, his unresolved and unnecessary end remains, to this day, profoundly saddening. Taniguchi-san was a lovely, sweet man, quiet in person and witty through his art. Fiercely independent and creative, he was extremely talented as evinced by the range of his themes. He was an enigma: a seemingly simple man with a very sophisticated view of the world, at least as expressed through his stunning art.

large scale conceptual environmental still life photographs playing with viewer's perspective creating individual letters from found objects spelling the word HOPE H-O-P-E by Christian Stoll Incredible details in this body of work: focusing in on this epic photograph work, you will find yourself lost in the artwork's details. Reminiscent of the appropriation artwork of Vik Muniz, Christian Stoll arranges everyday objects to spell letters of the alphabet. Only at close inspection does the viewer realize he/she is looking at an actual photograph, created in camera rather than with digital manipulation. _________________________ Artwork can be installed vertically, horizontally, square or across multiple walls 4 individual photographs individual artwork size 24 x 24 inches (61 x 61cm) horizontal artwork composition 24 x 96 inches (61 x 244cm) vertical artwork...

Two Screenprinted pillow cases (one hand signed by Baldessari) in bespoke box

John Baldessari Pillow Cases in Bespoke Presentation Box (one pillowcase hand signed by John Baldessari) for The Thing Quarterly Issue 22, 2014 Silkscreen on 100% cotton 320 thread count sateen pillowcases (Hand signed by John Baldessari) Boldly signed in ink by John Baldessari on one of the pillowcases (see photo) Unframed One of the pillowcases is hand signed in ink by John Baldessari: John Baldessari was one of the artists who were invited to contribute an object (or "thing") with text for a special project for "The Thing" publication (read on for more on "The Thing") ; the conceptual object therefore had to incorporate text. Baldessari's contribution in 2014 was a silkscreened pillowcase with text. A limited (unknown) number of these pillowcases were marketed and sold as a set of two in a bespoke box. However, exceptionally, Baldessari hand signed a very few of pillowcases in ink. This is one of the very special sets bearing one hand signed pillow case - purchased directly from "The Thing". (a copy of the 2014 receipt is shown here.) The rest of these boxed sets were not hand signed. The pillowcase is brand new, and will look gorgeous once pressed and framed by a professional framer. More about this boxed set: Issue 22 of THE THING Quarterly is by LA-based conceptual artist John Baldessari. It consists of two 100% cotton sateen pillowcases featuring an image of a woman clutching a pillow. The black and white image is taken from a Hollywood film still in Baldessari's collection and has been silkscreened on each pillowcase with environmentally-friendly, water-based ink. The pillowcases are standard-sized and envelope-style. For those who like their thread count high, the issue clocks in at a solid 320 thread count. Measurements: Box 10.5 inches by 13 inches by 2 inches Pillow 20 inches vertical by 26 inches What was The Thing Quarterly? THE THING was an experimental publication created in collaboration with Will Rogan as part of an artist residency. We saw it as a quarterly periodical in the form of an object. Each year, four artists, writers, musicians or filmmakers were invited to create an everyday object that somehow incorporates text. The object is reproduced and hand wrapped at wrapping parties and then mailed to the homes of the subscribers with the help of the United States Postal Service. It began as part of an artist residency in San Francisco’s Southern Exposure. Will and I had met in grad school at UC Berkeley and discovered our mutual affinity for quarterlies. He was a librarian at SFAI for five years and I had been a high school teacher for five years. WE were both interested pushing the boundaries of publication. Our plan was to create a 1 year publication with four artists, but from the very start the project generated so much interest and international excitement that we found ourselves running a publication complete with a brick and mortar storefront and a staff of four individuals. After 10 years, 34 issues, 59 projects and countless live events, we decided to end the publication in order to pursue our individual projects. We are still working together on a less ambitious new project, and hope to launch it at some point in 2021. CONTRIBUTORS: have included John Baldessari, Dave Eggers, Miranda July...

Highly collectible. Makes an excellent gift. Published by the Generali Foundation, Austria on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition. About the exhibition: Hans Haacke (born in 1936 in Cologne, GER, has lived in New York, USA, since 1965) focused on "a single problem area: how the country deals with its history and national identity. More than I care for, these questions stir up emotions both in Austria and Germany." Haacke had been originally concerned with physical and biological systems. Very early on, his artistic practice also included the analysis of and reflection on socio-political phenomena. Haacke's work deals with social and political themes. He considers the debates arising from his works - fierce at times - to be an integral part of them. "Mia san mia" (We Are Who We Are...
