  • Omc Special Offer Modified
    The OMC Gallery - NEW website - Special offers for a limited time only Pierre Alechinsky (1927 Belgium) One of the founders of the CoBrA group, whose dedication to primitive form and often violent strokes of color paralleled the American abstract expressionist movement. The group was formed as a reaction to the formal, refined art popular in other European cities immediately after World War II. The artist's style, anguished during the CoBrA period, softened perceptibly as acceptance for his art grew, but it remains strongly expressionistic. He is particularly adept at achieving subtleties and intensities of color in the lithographic process. The recipient of the Andrew Mellon Prize in 1977, Alechinsky is represented in the collections of sixty-five of the world's leading museums, incl. Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco and the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid. He has also been honored with a permanent room in the Louisiana Museumin Denmark. The winner of the first Andrew W. Mellon Prize for Painting (1977) and the French Grand Prix National for painting in 1984, Alechinsky has been recognized in recent years as one of the most significant living artists. (The art market has also noticed his stature: one of his paintings sold at auction several years ago for over $2,000,000.) Alechinsky was just barely out of his teens when he burst onto the art scene as one of the original members of the COBRA group, and over the years he has emerged as one of the most imaginative and witty artists of our times. Alechinsky fans are everywhere.

  • A Child's Play
    Klee and Cobra – a child’s play The exhibition Klee and Cobra – a child’s play was conceptualized by Zentrum Paul Klee, Bern in cooperation with LOUISIANA Museum of Modern Art, Humblebaek and Cobra Museum of Modern Art, Amstelveen. The exhibition Klee and Cobra – a child’s play is focused on the topic of the discovery of children’s creativity for artistic expression in the work of Paul Klee and the Cobra artists. The show will also highlight the importance of Paul Klee’s work and artistic thinking for Cobra in the 1940ies. The Exhibition will comprise approximately 120 works by Paul Klee and 100 works by Cobra artists as well as a great quantity of documents. The discovery of children’s potential for artistic expression provided an important impulse to the early 20th-century avant-garde, and to this day has remained a source of inspiration to artists. Both Kandinsky and Klee gained important artistic impulses from the debate, and from exploring their own childhood drawings. Almost forty years later – under different historic circumstances – immersing themselves into the imagery of children inspired the Cobra group of artists to venture into new artistic and political territory. “Ur-beginnings“ of art “In every children’s drawing without exception the object’s inner sound reveals itself,“ Kandinsky wrote in his 1912 essay, “On the Question of Form“. In that same year Paul Klee called for a return to the “ur-beginnings of art one is more likely to find in a museum of enthnography or in the nursery at home. (…) The more helpless these children, the more instructive their art.“ Thirty-six years later, Constant’s Cobra manifesto for the journal Reflex followed seamlessly on: “The child knows no other law than that of his awareness of being alive, and only wants to express that feeling.“ The exhibition Klee and Cobra – a child’s play presents the return of artists to their childhood “ur-beginnings“ as an elemental visual experience; it also places the relevance of this act in terms of art and cultural history in the historical and political context of the time.

    THE JEAN-NOËL HERLIN ARCHIVE PROJECT Jean-Noël Herlin New York City 2005 Table of Contents Introduction i Individual artists and performers, collaborators, and groups 1 Individual artists and performers, collaborators, and groups. Selections A-D 77 Group events and clippings by title 109 Group events without title / Organizations 129 Periodicals 149 Introduction In the context of my activity as an antiquarian bookseller I began in 1973 to acquire exhibition invitations/announcements and poster/mailers on painting, sculpture, drawing and prints, performance, and video. I was motivated by the quasi-neglect in which these ephemeral primary sources in art history were held by American commercial channels, and the project to create a database towards the bibliographic recording of largely ignored material. Documentary value and thinness were my only criteria of inclusion. Sources of material were random. Material was acquired as funds could be diverted from my bookshop. With the rapid increase in number and diversity of sources, my initial concept evolved from a documentary to a study archive project on international visual and performing arts, reflecting the appearance of new media and art making/producing practices, globalization, the blurring of lines between high and low, and the challenges to originality and quality as authoritative criteria of classification and appreciation. In addition to painting, sculpture, drawing and prints, performance and video, the Jean-Noël Herlin Archive Project includes material on architecture, design, caricature, comics, animation, mail art, music, dance, theater, photography, film, textiles and the arts of fire. It also contains material on galleries, collectors, museums, foundations, alternative spaces, and clubs.

  • L'aquila 1962. “Alternative Attuali” E L'idea Di “Mostra-Saggio”
    Luca Pietro Nicoletti L’Aquila 1962. “Alternative Attuali” e l’idea di “mostra-saggio” Abstract Il seguente contributo analizza, su fonti d’archivio, la prima edizione della manifestazione ideata e organizzata da Enrico Crispolti presso il Forte Cinquecentesco dell’Aquila, soffermandosi sui caratteri di maggiore novità proposti da questa rassegna rispetto al panorama coevo. Con Alternative Attuali , infatti, il critico romano proponeva su larga scala un nuovo tipo di collettiva, già sperimentato in piccolo a Roma con Possibilità di relazione: non una semplice rassegna di artisti, ma la proposta di un dialogo, senza gerarchie di merito, fra posizioni diverse (le “alternative”) volte al superamento dell’Informale. Con il modello della “mostra-saggio”, arricchita da un vero e proprio dibattito affidato alle pagine del catalogo, veniva per la prima volta applicata una idea espositiva che cercasse di sistematizzare in prospettiva critica (e in proiezione storica) la situazione presente. The following paper analyses, from archive sources, the first edition of the show created and organised by Enrico Crispolti at the Forte Cinquecentesco in L’Aquila, focussing on the newest aspects of this exhibition compared to the contemporary scene. With Alternative Attuali (i.e. Current Alternatives), in fact, the Roman art critic was proposing on a large scale a new kind of collective exhibition, already experimented in a smaller size in Rome with Possibilità di relazione: not a simple artists' show, but a dialogue, with no merit hierarchies, between different positions (the “alternatives”) aimed at going beyond Informal art. This model of “exhibition-essay”, including an actual debate consigned to the catalogue pages, for the first time applied a form of display which would attempt to put the present situation in a critical (and historical) perspective.

  • ALECHINSKY Pierre
    The Trinity College Dublin Art Collections Artist: Pierre Alechinsky Title: Boréalité Rouge Medium: lithograph Notes: signed: Alechinsky b.1927, Brussels, Belgium Pierre Alechinsky was a painter, draughtsman, printmaker, film maker, ceramic artist and writer. From 1944 to 1946 he studied book illustration and typography at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture et des Arts Décoratifs in Brussels. In 1947 became a member of the Jeune Peinture Belge group and in this same year, he held his first solo exhibition at the Galerie Lou Cosyn. In 1949 Alechinsky became a key member of the CoBrA art movement which included artists Karel Appel and Asger Jorn. This group was formed in 1948 as a reaction to the French Surrealists and was named for the cities its founding artists came from – Copenhagen, Brussels and Amsterdam. CoBrA artists preferred their work to be spontaneous and direct, experimental, colourful, expressive and took inspiration from folk art and children’s literature. While a member of the CoBrA group, Alechinsky focused mainly on organising exhibitions and running their eponymous magazine. When the group was disbanded in 1951 Alechinsky decided to go on to study engraving in Paris. In the mid-1950s, Alechinsky moved to Japan for a time to study the art of calligraphy, making a film on the subject, Calligraphie japonaise, in 1956. Alechinsky was particularly interested in the way these calligraphers worked; they placed their paper on the floor and bent to it from a standing position, in this sense, they used their whole body in the process of calligraphy. Alechinsky’s time spent in Japan had a lasting influence on his style of painting.

  • PIERRE ALECHINSKY: a PRINT RETROSPECTIVE, an Exhibition Exploring
    The Museum of Modern Art 50th Anniversary FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE no NO. 33 MASTER PRINTS BY ALECHINSKY TO OPEN AT MUSEUM PIERRE ALECHINSKY: A PRINT RETROSPECTIVE, an exhibition exploring this contemporary artist's work in the print media, will open in the third-floor Sachs Galleries at The Museum of Modern Art on June 11, 1981. Organized by Riva Castleman, Director, and Audrey Isselbacher, Assistant Curator in the Department of Prints and Illustrated Books, with the co­ operation of Mr. Alechinsky and Yves Riviere, the exhibition will remain on view through August 11, 1981. A selection of 85 works drawn almost entirely from the Museum's col­ lection and spanning every phase of Alechinsky's career from his first print made in 1946 to the present, comprises the retrospective. Pierre Alechinsky has devoted more energy, technical skill, imagination and patience to the print media than perhaps any other contemporary artist. The Belgian-born artist has created some 950 works in various print media. Today, according to Riva Castleman, "he continues to retrieve from his crowded past and bustling present the astonishing images that inhabit his prints." It is Alechinsky's seemingly insatiable hunger for experiment and experience that makes his works so vital and vivid. Pierre Alechinsky, who was born in Brussels in 1927, began to make prints as a student at La Cambre, the Belgian national college of archi­ tecture and decorative arts. While he was there he experimented in all the print media he would later use: linoleum cut, woodcut, etching and continued/ 11 West .53 Street, New York, NY 10019,212-956 6100 Coble: Modemort NO.

From 1955 to 1960 Panamarenko studied at the Antwerp Academy. For 1968, he leaned on the pop, but he was soon captivated by the aircraft and flying on their own.
