  • Donald Baechler Early Work 1980 to 1984 Opens Tuesday November 24 from 6–8 Pm Exhibition Continues Through December 30, 2015
    PRESS RELEASE Donald Baechler Early Work 1980 to 1984 Opens Tuesday November 24 from 6–8 pm Exhibition continues through December 30, 2015 Cheim & Read is pleased to announce an exhibition of Donald Baechler’s early paintings and collages on paper. These works represent the genesis of the artist’s iconic vocabulary of symbols and techniques. The exhibition will be accompanied by a catalogue featuring an essay by David Rimanelli. Between 1980 and 1984, when Baechler was still in his mid-20s, his work was the subject of six solo exhibitions. By the end of the ’80s, his bold, expressive paintings were regarded as some of the most influential of their time—integral to the dialogue between a new generation of New York painters that included Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, and Julian Schnabel. The works currently on view at Cheim & Read embody this pivotal moment in Baechler’s career, when he developed a signature iconography and rose to international renown. Three Figures (Wall Street Week) 1980 graphite, spray enamel and oil-based enamel on paper 42 x 42 in Baechler’s work is known for striking compositions that center big, buoyant, thickly outlined forms on layered surfaces, either built up with paint or dense with collage. His subjects are recognizable the world over— flowers, faces, houses, globes, and other familiar objects take center stage. Isolated and magnified on large-scale canvases, they become emblems for universal themes like identity, sexuality, community, and mortality. But they are also uniquely Baechler’s. There is no

    360 O I D TU S Postmodernist poster boy (and T&C art columnist) David Salle has a new show this month. He gives us an exclusive window into his light-filled retreat in East Hampton. By GEMMA SIEFF Photographs by FRANCOIS DISCHINGER NICE CUBE David Salle surveys his workspace in East Hampton, New York. DECEMBER 2013 | 207 THE artIST daVID SALLE IS A SLIGHT, handsome man of 61, with dark hair worn slicked back, accentuating his appearance of quickness and lightness, of being streamlined. His house inT Fort Greene, Brooklyn, used to be a Masonic lodge. It was transformed by the architect Chris- tian Hubert into a still sanctuary studded with just-so objets: spindly chairs by Giò Ponti, works by Mark Grotjahn, George Baselitz, and Amy Sillman. The front door funnels you straight upstairs, since Salle’s studio occupies the whole of the first floor. It’s capacious by any standard, but it’s still in New York City. His creativity blooms farther east, on the East End of Long Island, a place whose fabled light and seascapes have made it a haven for artists since the days of the Tile Club, a secret society formed in 1877 as part of the Aesthetic Movement, whose mem- bers included William Merritt Chase, Stanford White, and Francis Hopkinson Smith.

  • DONALD BAECHLER SCULPTURES and PAINTINGS
    DONALD BAECHLER SCULPTURES and PAINTINGS ARTIST RECEPTION: THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 6-8 PM ON VIEW MARCH 24 - APRIL 30, 2011 "A sense of fun is an essential aspect of Donald's work. When you see his flat sculptures, I think it's very easy to smile." -excerpt from a conversation between Charles Stuckey and Donald Baechler McClain Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of mixed media works by New York-based artist Donald Baechler. Well known for his brightly colored paintings with singular themed subjects from flowers, crowds to ice cream cones painted over heavily textured, multi- element backgrounds, this exhibition focuses on Baechler's exploration of flower motifs and follows their transition from drawings to paintings and their growth into three-dimensional volume as sculptures. The silhouette-like shapes of painted flowers arching out of a vase or a single bloom are complimented by Baechler's flat sculptural forms with mottled, irregular surfaces akin to the richly-collaged grounds of his paintings. An avid collector of images, he explores the potential of images after they are repeatedly used, seen or drawn - and in doing so evokes a universal language of cultural symbology. About Donald Baechler Born in Connecticut in 1956, Baechler lives and works in New York City. He studied art in both New York and Germany. He began exhibiting internationally in the early 1980s. His work can be found in over 40 public museum, university, corporate and municipal collections, including: The Museum of Fine Art, Houston; Museum of Modern Art, New

  • Swiss Deluxe Hotels Under New Management – After 30-Plus Years of Successful Hoteliership, Jan E
    Media release, 30 March 2020 Media corner at www.swissdeluxehotels.com/en/media SWISS DELUXE HOTELS UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT – AFTER 30-PLUS YEARS OF SUCCESSFUL HOTELIERSHIP, JAN E. BRUCKER TAKES THE HELM OF THE ASSOCIATION REPRESENTING SWITZERLAND'S ASSOCIATION OF THE 40 MOST RENOWNED 5* HOTELS. Zurich, 30 March 2020 – Having relinquished the management of the Widder Hotel in the old town quarter of Zurich at the end of last year, Jan E. Brucker and his newly founded company Brucker Hospitality Consulting GmbH are assuming the management of Swiss Deluxe Hotels, the association of 40 member hotels, on 1 April 2020. He will be reported to by the existing team comprising Christiane Lanz, Head of Corporate Office, and Evelyn Gorgos, Head of Corporate Communications & Media Relations. As Chairman of Swiss Deluxe Hotels for the last 10 years, Brucker has been intimately involved in the association's development and knows its requirements and key issues better than most. "After more than 30 years on the front-line as a hotelier, I see myself in my new role purely as a service provider and look forward to providing my hotelier colleagues with the support they deserve in the face of the upcoming challenges, of which there many," says Brucker. The responsibility we owe our members, partners, guests, employees and the environment is a core value which we live by every day, continues Brucker. In this respect, he looks forward to building on the achievements of his predecessor, Siro Barino. Michael Smithuis, General Manager of the Fairmont Le Montreux Palace, who is acting as interim chairman of Swiss Deluxe Hotels until the next annual general meeting, headed the committee selecting the new managing director: "We deliberately took our time over the recruitment process, especially since it was also a question of setting out the vision and strategic priorities for the association's future direction.

  • Donald Baechler
    GALERIE THADDAEUS ROPAC DONALD BAECHLER WORKS ON PAPER PARIS DEBELLEYME 27 Wednesday - 21 Saturday We are pleased to announce an exhibition of recent work by American artist Donald Baechler in our Drawing Space. The show will focus on the artist's most recent collages on paper. Donald Baechler has created, with wit and humour, a metaphorical language of a popular culture which has gained him a wide reputation as a second-generation Pop Artist. "I'm interested in discreet and very mute objects, and I've never really been interested in narrative or psychology or these things which many people read into my paintings and probably into the sculptures.", Baechler remarked recently about his work, which has been exhibited worldwide since the early 1980s. Some twenty years ago, in an effort to re-learn drawing, Baechler set about inventing a naïve vocabulary of lines and forms. It was geared - paraphrasing the work of Jean Dubuffet - to the world of images used by children, naïve artists and the mentally ill. Baechler's works on paper consist of collaged elements that include drawn and printed materials such as reproductions from colouring books, pages torn from children's books and various design patterns. These dense patchworks of imagery allow the artist to obtain an textural surface as background on which he then paints his emblematic central images. Recurring motifs painted on these collages are seemingly ingenuous depictions of everyday objects or human figures, flowers and trees, mostly painted in black outlines. The leading role of the flower theme is similar to that of the beach ball, of the glass, of the various collages on paper where the clearly identifiable everyday shapes appear but with a disconcerting power.

  • DONALD BEACHLER Donald Baechler, Artista Americano, Nasce Nel 1956 Ad Hartford, CT
    DONALD BEACHLER Donald Baechler, artista americano, nasce nel 1956 ad Hartford, CT. Frequenta la scuola d'arte a New York e a Francoforte. Tornato negli anni 80' negli Stati Uniti entra presto a far parte della giovane ed emergente scena artistica dell'East Village. L'artista raccoglie e archivia ritagli di giornale, pagine di cataloghi, fotografie, cartoline, ritagli di tessuto, souvenir di viaggi e ricordi della sua infanzia che diventano sfondo dei suoi dipinti. Fiori, coni gelato, pallone da calcio, teschi e vecchie mappe sono i soggetti prediletti dall'artista che li reinterpreta creando un immaginario quasi infantile. Dagli anni 90' Donald si dedica anche alla scultura, che diventa una continuazione dei suoi dipinti. Nel 1994 Baechler è stato eletto tra i Dirigenti della Skowhegan School, e negli anni ha insegnato e tenuto corsi presso le Università e gli Istituti d'Arte di tutto il mondo. Baechler ha esposto i suoi lavori in importanti gallerie di tutto il mondo: da Sperone Westwater a Tony Shafrazi, da Lucio Amelio a Pat Hearn.. Le sue opere si trovano, tra l'altro, in numerose collezioni private di importanti fondazioni e musei come al Museum of Modern Art, al Whitney Museum of American Art e al Guggenheim Museum di New York, al Centre Georges Pompidou a Parigi, allo Stedelijk Museum di Amsterdam, all'Albertina in Vienna e al Lenbachhaus a Monaco. Donald Baechler is an American artist and he was born in 1956 in Hartford, CT. He attended art schools in New York and in Frankfurt, Germany. Back to the USA, he quickly became part of the young, up-and-coming East Village art scene.

  • When Artworks Collide
    ART REVIEW When Artworks Collide Nicole Bengiveno/The New York Times At the Tony Shafrazi Gallery, this show contains two shows (one on wallpaper). By ROBERTA SMITH Published: May 16, 2008 “Who’s Afraid of Jasper Johns?,” a group show at the Tony Shafrazi Gallery in Chelsea, is the latest proof that you don’t have to be a museum to shake things up. It was organized by Gavin Brown, who has a downtown gallery of his own, and Urs Fischer, a Swiss artist he represents. Demonically aerobic for brain and eye, the show conflates two exhibitions and several different times, styles, art markets and notions of transgression. Highly site specific, it may also be one of the last words in appropriation art, institutional critique and artistic intervention, not to mention postmodern photography and, especially, wallpaper. Nicole Bengiveno/The New York Times An installation view shows Malcolm Morley’s “Age of Catastrophe” on top of a Keith Haring, left, and a Picabia over a Donald Baechler. The histories entwined here begin with Mr. Shafrazi, an infamous one-hit-wonder graffiti artist and longtime graffiti art dealer. In 1974 he spray-painted, in red, the words “Kill Lies All” on Picasso’s “Guernica,” then at the Museum of Modern Art (he meant to write “All Lies Kill”). By 1982 he had a SoHo gallery known for showing graffiti-related artists like Keith Haring, Kenny Scharf, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Donald Baechler. In 2004 Mr. Shafrazi relocated to an austere second-floor gallery in Chelsea, putting up long-running shows and concentrating mostly on the resale market: not only the graffitists but also blue-chip works by Picasso, Picabia and Francis Bacon.
