Description
John ARMLEDER Austrasia - 2014 Acrylic, spray paint and collage on canvas Signed, titled and dated on the back 150 x 110 x 4 cm Acrylic, spray paint and collages on canvas; signed, titled and dated on the reverse 59.05 x 43.30 x 1.57 in. Provenance: Galerie Catherine Issert, Saint-Paul de Vence Acquired directly from the latter by the current owner Exhibitions : Biot, Musée Fernand Leger, JOHN ARMLEDER, from 28 June to 6 October 2014 We would like to thank Mrs Catherine Issert for the information she kindly provided. FR Active since the late 60s, notably within the Geneva-based group Écart, Swiss artist John Armleder's work began to gain recognition in the 80s. His "ameublements" or "Furniture-sculpture", as the artist calls his arrangements of "reworked" furniture objects, brought him to international attention. Influenced by the multimedia proposals of the Fluxus movement, Armleder's work questions notions of authenticity and originality, and more generally the relationship between art and reality. The objects combined with his paintings, the elementary forms (stripes, polka dots) or free forms (drips), and all the devices used to stage his work (scaffolding, green plants, televisions) question the reception of his works, between art and decoration, object and subject, and more generally between art and life.
