G O S E E: LINE VAUTRIN: 100 years of magnitude
MASON GERARD new york, may 16th - june 21st 2013
“Line Vautrin, a revered French artist of the 20th Century once dubbed ‘the poetess of metal’ by Vogue… Vautrin’s artistic signature is very much in evidence in this extraordinary highly personal collection of her extremely rare and intricate detailed boxes. Carefully amassed over more then 40 years, it’s the largest of its kind to ever reach the market. It began with decades’ worth of romantic gifts from the collector’s father to his mother, with the son often brought along on visits to both Vautrin’s boutique and her legendary Marais atelier in the 50s and 60s.”

“Sinister Pop presents an inventive take on the Museum’s rich and diverse holdings of Pop art from the movement’s inception in the early 1960s through its aftershocks a decade later. Although Pop art often calls to mind a celebration of postwar consumer culture, this exhibition focuses on Pop’s darker side, as it distorts and critiques the American dream.”

“As two of the most significant American artists of the post-war period, Dan Flavin and Donald Judd’s practices have come to define what has been referred to as Minimalist art… The installations in this exhibition are in dialogue with each other and share a distinctive and coherent understanding of the object, the space, and the viewer.” watch here and take a look INSIDE.

This Friday The Guggenheim opens to the public a collection spanning some 120 objects from 25 artists on loan from museums and private collections in Japan, America and Europe “featuring both iconic Gutai and lesser-known works to present a rich survey… Gutai: Splendid Playground explores the group’s radical experimentation across a range of media and styles, and demonstrates how individual artists pushed the limits of what art could be or mean in a post-atomic age.”

passing through, 1956
Murakim was part of the most important international avant-garde movements in Japan in the 1950s, called the Gutai, which “examined its aesthetic strategies in the cultural, social and political context of postwar Japan and the West… in an expanded, transnational history and critical discourse of modern art.” Passing Through is an example of what Murakim calls his ‘painting’ where his ‘marks’ were visible impressions created by running through a series of large paper panels stretched like canvas. watch here.
