The works that will come to Tel Aviv are from the Mugrabi collection, owned by the Mugrabi family, one of the wealthiest families in the art world. , and his alue,” The head of the family, Jose Mugrabi, emigrated to Colombia from Jerusalem in 1955 and made a fortune in textiles. After moving to the US in the 1980s, Mugrabi turned to the art market. The family’s collection includes works by Damien Hirst, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Jeff Koons. In 2013, Mugrabi set a record for the most expensive work by a living artist, when he paid $58.4 million for Koons’s “Balloon Dog (Orange)” at a Christie’s auction.

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.

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.

Wie der Sport verbindet die bilden- de Kunst die Kulturen. Als universelle Sprache, die von allen gesprochen und verstanden wird, ist sie ein einzigartiges Medium, in dem sich die unterschiedlichen Stimmen Gehör verschaffen können. Die Arbeit der Qatar Museums Authority wird von der Überzeugung getragen, dass Kunst – auch kontroverse Kunst – Missverständnisse beseitigen und den Austausch zwischen den verschiedenen Nationen, Menschen und Traditionen anregen kann. Wir waren daher sehr erfreut, als Damien Hirst uns um die Unterstützung seiner Ausstellung in der Tate Modern bat.

Marcel Duchamp + Jeff Koons, Appearance Stripped Bare (Apariencia Desnuda), Museo Jumex, Mexico City
Galerie Max Hetzler Berlin | Paris | London Forbes Press, Clayton: Review Jeff Koons 24 May 2019 Marcel Duchamp + Jeff Koons, Appearance Stripped Bare (Apariencia Desnuda), Museo Jumex, Mexico City Clayton Press Contributor Arts “Consider the practical effects of the objects of your conception. Then, your conception of those effects is the whole of your conception of the object." Charles Sanders Peirce, Popular Science Monthly, January 1878. Jeff Koons is a very practical man, pragmatic even. He has developed a set of unembellished, yet polished principles that envelop his work, which he talks about in philosophical, near-spiritual terms. He wants his audience to experience awareness, acceptance and transcendence. These transformative possibilities can seem incongruous with Koons’ subject matter, which is shaped by commercialism in popular culture and Pop art. As Roberta Smith wrote in “Stop Hating Jeff Koons,” an article that appeared two days after Jeff Koons' 1986 stainless steel Rabbit sculpture was sold at Christie's Post War and Contemporary Sale on May 15, 2019, “ Mr. Koons is a lightning rod, and has been for some time. It is fashionable and easy to hate his work. In certain quarters of the art world it seems to be required—collectors, many dealers and museum curators excepted. Mr. Koons’s art has proved resistant to easy absorption into art history. We’re still fighting about him.

Self – Bacon Hirst Koons Picasso
Self, on public display at Ordovas from 14 October until 13 December 2014, will look at interpretations of self-portraiture by four of the greatest artists of the 20th century – Francis Bacon, Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons and Pablo Picasso. Examining the way in which self-portraiture has been used in the modern era as a vehicle for communication and celebration, as well as for the inevitable memento mori, Self will include a major self- portrait study made in 1901 by Picasso, which has never before been publicly exhibited, and one of the first studies of a single head ever painted by Bacon, which has not been shown in London for almost 50 years. The exhibition will also reveal new insights into the importance of ‘self’ in the work of Hirst and Koons, who have contributed a conversation to the exhibition catalogue, exploring their relationship with their own self-portraits as well as with those by important old and modern masters. “The idea behind this exhibition grew from a conversation with Damien Hirst and took two initial works as its inspiration – Self-Portrait (Yo Picasso), 1901, and Self-Portrait, 1969 by Francis Bacon,” says Pilar Ordovas. “I was intrigued by the idea of exploring the self-portraits of living artists alongside those made by Picasso and Bacon, and I approached Damien to see if he might be interested in participating – he not only was happy to be part of the show, but also suggested the title Self, and that I included Jeff Koons.” Since the first hand print was left on the side of a cave, the making of images has been intrinsically bound up with self-portraiture and its concerns of self-presentation and self-preservation.
