  • Artist: Period/Style: Patron: Material/Technique: Form
    TITLE:Vietnam Veterans Memorial LOCATION: Washington, D.C., U.S. DATE: . 1982 C.E. ARTIST: Maya Lin PERIOD/STYLE: Minimalism PATRON: The Commision of Fine Arts MATERIAL/TECHNIQUE: Granite FORM: Highly reflective black granite with incised names of 58,000 names ofVietnam Veterans who sacrificed their lives during the conflict. The name is an abstraction that means more to the family and friends than a pictorial representation. The two walls start very short and get progressively taller until they meet at an oblique angle at the monument’s center. One wall points towards the Washington Monument; the other points to the Lincoln Memorial. FUNCTION: It functions as a memorial to the soldiers that died during the Vietnam War. It is an ideal place for people to come and spend quiet time reflecting on the names and perhaps leaving mementos to the deceased. CONTENT: The walls are made of a dark igneous rock called gabbro, a type of granite, which is highly reflective when polished.The surface of the monument is etched with the 58,195 names of the Americans who died or remained missing in action in the Vietnam War. The names are listed in the order in which they were reported killed or missing in action. This makes the names harder to find, and re- quires a listing and numeric system of organization for visitors. CONTEXT: There were 1400 anonymous entries for this commission. There was a real backlash once her identity was known because of latent racism in the post Vietnam era. She defended her design in front of the United States Congress, who eventually reached a compro- mise: A group of more “traditional” sculptures, called “The Three Soldiers,” was erected near the monument.

  • Ingressi Di Milano Curated by Karl Kolbitz Photographs by Matthew Billings, Paola Pansini, and Delfino Sisto Legnani
    Press Release Ingressi di Milano Curated by Karl Kolbitz Photographs by Matthew Billings, Paola Pansini, and Delfino Sisto Legnani TASCHEN Store Milan (1st Floor Gallery), Via Meravigli 17 April 5 – June 18 2017 “One might call the ingressi Milan’s best-kept secret, the architectural equivalent of Poe’s purloined letter: a secret that is “prominently hidden” for all to see, and for a more restricted number to enter. With the ingressi, in fact, we are dealing with spaces that, by a peculiar logic of representation, start as passages to a given place but end up becoming their own destinations.” - Daniel Sherer TASCHEN is pleased to announce the opening of Ingressi di Milano, a new exhibition of photographs curated by Karl Kolbitz. The show is presented in parallel with the release of Kolbitz’s eponymous TASCHEN publication, an unprecedented look at Milan’s design DNA. Over the course of countless trips to Milan, Kolbitz’s exploration of the city’s eclectic aesthetics triggered the following, paradoxical question: in a city famous the world over as an exporter of design, how has its multitude of exuberant entryways remained so inconspicuous? In his book, Kolbitz opens the doors to these remarkable Milanese spaces, leading us through 144 of the city’s most sumptuous entrance halls dating from 1920 to 1970. At the intersection of art, architecture, and design, the collection showcases the work of some of the city’s most illustrious architects and designers, including Giovanni Muzio, Gio Ponti, Piero Portaluppi, and Luigi Caccia Dominioni, as well as non-pedigreed architecture of equal impact and interest.

  • PICASSO: Mosqueteros
    G A G O S I A N G A L L E R Y February 14, 2009 PRESS RELEASE GAGOSIAN GALLERY 522 WEST 21ST STREET T. 212.741.1717 NEW YORK, NY 10011 F. 212.741.0006 GALLERY HOURS: Mon – Sat: 10:00am– 6:00pm PICASSO: Mosqueteros Thursday, March 26 – Saturday, June 6, 2009 Opening reception: Thursday, March 26th, from 6 to 8pm I enjoy myself to no end inventing these stories. I spend hour after hour while I draw, observing my creatures and thinking about the mad things they're up to. --Pablo Picasso, 1968 “Picasso: Mosqueteros” is the first exhibition in the United States to focus on the late paintings since “Picasso: The Last Years: 1963-1973” at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in 1984. Organized around a large group of important, rarely seen works from the collection of Bernard Ruiz-Picasso, as well as works from The Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Museo Picasso Málaga and other private collections, “Picasso: Mosqueteros” aims to expand the ongoing inquiry regarding the context, subjects, and sources of the artist’s late work. Building on new research into the artist’s late life through the presentation of selected paintings and prints spanning 1962-1972, the exhibition suggests how the portrayal of the aged Picasso, bound to the past in his life and painting, has obscured the highly innovative and contemporary nature of the late work. The tertulia, an Iberian tradition of gregarious social gatherings with literary or artistic overtones, played a major part in Picasso’s everyday life, even after he moved to the relative seclusion of Notre-Dame-de-Vie in the 1960s.

  • Jeff Koons Loses French Lawsuit Over ‘Slavish Copy’ of Naf Naf Advert US Artist Ordered to Pay Damages and Costs, but Fair D’Hiver Sculpture Escapes Seizure
    AiA Art News-service Jeff Koons loses French lawsuit over ‘slavish copy’ of Naf Naf advert US artist ordered to pay damages and costs, but Fair d’Hiver sculpture escapes seizure ANNA SANSOM 9th November 2018 13:58 GMT Fait D'Hiver (1988) by Jeff Koons, on show at the Liebighaus museum on in Frankfurt in 2012 © Ralph Orlowski/Getty Images Jeff Koons has been found guilty of plagiarising a 1980s advertising campaign for French fashion brand Naf Naf to make his porcelain sculpture Fait d'Hiver (1988), which is part of his Banality series. The high court of Paris has ordered the artist’s company Jeff Koons LLC, and the Centre Pompidou, which exhibited the piece in a 2014 Koons exhibition, to pay Franck Davidovici, the creative director of Naf Naf, €135,000 in damages and interest, and €70,000 in trial costs. The court ruled that Jeff Koons LLC had counterfeited a 1985 Naf Naf advert, featuring a pig with a barrel of rum tied round its neck rescuing a girl in the snow, by using its “original elements”. Davidovici had sued for copyright infringement, with his lawyer, Jean Aittouares of Ox Avocats, describing the Koons sculpture as a “slavish copy” of the advert. “The court dismisses the argument of freedom of artistic expression, considering that Koons had clearly sought, by retaking the first work, to make 'the economy of a creative work',” Ox Avocats posted in a short online statement. The court also ordered Koons' company to pay €11,000 to Davidovici for reproducing an image of the sculpture on Koons' website, and €2,000 to Flammarion, the French publishing house, for reproducing an image of the work in the Centre Pompidou's exhibition catalogue.

It also includes a look at the global business management model that has been developed by the Guggenheim Foundation administrators. The main purpose of this work is to examine the “branding system” which was created and utilized by the Guggenheim Foundation and to analyze the system’s advantages and disadvantages within their global operation. The Guggenheim brand system depends on the multination art policies, the development of foreign funding sources, and dealing with international partners and sponsors. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page CHAPTER I.
