Luc Tuymans: Exhibitions at David Zwirner

Editat de Tommy Simoens, Donna Wingate
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 ian 2013
The famous David Zwirner Gallery in New York has been a base of operations for the Belgian painter Luc Tuymans since 1994. At the start of his career, Tuymans committed himself to showing a new series of works there once every two years--a promise that he kept, and continues to keep, 18 years on, as his tempered style and political content have steadily garnered him worldwide acclaim. Tuymans' thematic exhibitions at the Zwirner Gallery have tackled controversial topics, ranging from the Holocaust to Belgium's colonial past and the hypocrisy of the Disney empire. "Luc Tuymans: Exhibitions at David Zwirner 1994-2012" presents the artist's major works, together with brief commentary, photographs and archival documentation. Interviews with four leading U.S. critics--Ann Temkin, Brice Marden, Peter Schjeldahl and Robert Storr--that were conducted specially for this publication by Kristine McKenna discuss Tuymans' presence in the U.S.

Notă biografică

Quiet, restrained, and at times unsettling, this Belgian artist¿s works engage equally with questions of history and its representation as with quotidian subject matter cast in unfamiliar and eerie light. Painted from pre-existing imagery, they often appear slightly out-of-focus and sparsely colored, like third-degree abstractions from reality. Whereas earlier works were based on magazine pictures, drawings, television footage, and Polaroids, recent source images include material accessed online and the artist¿s own iPhone photos, printed out and sometimes re-photographed several times.
