Parisian artists and gallery owners have penned an open letter opposing the installation of a sculpture by Jeff Koons, describing the monument as "shocking and unwelcome".
American artist Koons, known for his reproductions of banal objects, announced he was to gift Paris with his Bouquet of Tulips sculpture in 2016 as a "symbol of remembrance, optimism, and healing" after the terror attacks of November 2015. The monumental piece, which depicts a giant hand holding multicoloured flowers, is due to be permanently installed at Tokyo Square in front of the prestigious Palais de Tokyo. But 24 artists, museum workers, collectors and politicians have urged city officials to reconsider its placement in an open letter published by French newspaper Libération. "We, artists, politicians, professionals and amateurs of the French art scene, ask for the abandonment of this initiative," reads the letter, translated to English.
Jeff Koons : Le Culte De La Perfection Et De La Communication. Le Centre Pompidou propose jusqu'au 27 avril 2015, la première rétrospective complète en Europe, de l'artiste le plus controversé de notre époque : Jeff Koons.
Une centaine de sculptures et peintures pour éclairer une oeuvre et une démarche très particulière. Jeff koons. Jeff Koons sacrifié sur l'autel du marché de l'art. L'imaginaire populaire aime les artistes pauvres, qui se meurent dans leur chambre de bonne et dans le froid.
Mais l'histoire de l'art montre évidemment qu'il n'existe aucune contradiction entre la pertinence d'un artiste et le fait qu'il soit capable de vendre beaucoup et cher. Dürer, le grand maître de la Renaissance allemande, avait recruté un agent chargé de vendre ses estampes en Europe. Rubens faisait travailler un atelier pléthorique (qu'on peut toujours voir à Anvers) dans lequel les tableaux étaient produits avec plus ou moins d'attention.
Le Greco possédait à Tolède une espèce de "show room" dans lequel on pouvait choisir la copie de son saint qu'on désirait mettre dans sa maison. Et ainsi de suite jusqu'à Picasso qui aimait à mettre en concurrence ses marchands. Jeff Koons appartient à cette catégorie, car il a un atelier à Chelsea, New York, et qu'il a manifestement aussi un sens des affaires et de la promotion aigus. Man Vandalizes Jeff Koons Retrospective With Own Blood, Because He's An Artist Too. An artist was removed from the Whitney Museum of American Art's colossal Jeff Koons retrospective after he splattered what was reportedly his own blood on one of the exhibition walls, forming the shape of an "X.
" Hungarian-born performance artist Istvan Kantor, who has a well-documented penchant for utilizing his own blood for the sake of his craft, was taken to a nearby hospital for mental evaluation Wednesday after museum security removed him from the show. No artwork was damaged during the incident, which was captured by photographer Antoine Lutens (see more from the Whitney vandalism at his Facebook page): Kantor was released shortly after with no charges filed.
According to Hyperallergic, he wrote about his subsequent plans on a Facebook page under his alter ego "Monty Cantsin Amen," the same moniker he attached to his bloody display on the wall behind Koons' "Rabbit" sculpture. X Marks The Spot: Jeff Koons Retrospective Vandalized By Neo-Nutsy Artist. Jeff Koons. The Sculptor - Upcoming - Exhibitions - Liebieghaus. Jeff Koons. The Sculptor — SCHIRN MAG. Jeff Koons. The Painter — SCHIRN MAG. Im Sommer widmen sich die SCHIRN Kunsthalle und die Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung dem Werk des 1955 geborenen US-amerikanischen Künstlers Jeff Koons.
Bewusst trennen die parallel stattfindenden Ausstellungen zur Arbeit dieses seit den 1980er-Jahren richtungsweisenden Künstlers den skulpturalen und den malerischen Aspekt seines Œuvres und stellen diesen jeweils in einem gesonderten Kontext dar. So wird in der SCHIRN unter dem Titel „Jeff Koons. The Painter“ mit rund 40 Gemälden die strukturelle Entwicklung des Malers Jeff Koons im Vordergrund stehen. In seiner monumentalen Malerei, deren Motivik sich aus unterschiedlichsten Quellen der Hoch- und Populärkultur speist, führen sowohl hyperrealistische als auch gestische Züge zu einer hochkomplexen bildlichen und inhaltlichen Verdichtung.
Erstmals präsentiert wird in Frankfurt Jeff Koons’ neue Serie „Antiquity“, in der sich der Künstler mit der antiken Kunst und deren zentralem Motiv, dem Eros, auseinandersetzt. Analytische Detailarbeit. Next Big Idea: Jeff Koons' 'Train' at the High Line. A design rendering of Jeff Koons' Train at the High Line.
Image by James Corner Field Operations, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, and Jeff Koons. As we continue to refine the initial design concepts for the rail yards section of the High Line, the design team is studying a range of options for the 10th Avenue Spur, with the objective to make it one of the major gathering spaces at the park. We showed two initial design concepts for the Spur at a community input meeting on Monday, March 12, and we also wanted to share a potential art installation conceived by artist Jeff Koons that could work with either of them. As one more far-reaching ideas – one that would bring trains back to the High Line in a big way – the art installation, called Train, would feature a full-size replica of a 1943 Baldwin 2900 steam locomotive suspended from a crane above the Spur.
This is not the first time Koons’ Train has been considered for a public space. Jeff Koons Proposes Dangling Train Over High Line.
