Christo and Jeanne-Claude, the Art Rebels
Wrapped Trees, Fondation Beyler, Berower Park, Riehen, Switzerland, 1997-98

Christo and Jeanne-Claude conceive of the projects together. Then Christo makes drawings, scale-models and other preparatory art of the artwork. Christo and Jeanne-Claude sell directly to art collectors, museums and art dealers.
Alex Diamond
progress. denial. aestetics. discoveries. rants. raves. comments. admiration. wisdom (rarely): artworks by Alex Diamond.
“Alex Diamond is an artist in the traditional way, who is gaining more and more attention on the art market. This is due to the fact that the interchangeablilty of his character doesn’t contradict the curational aspects of developing a sustainable body of work. It’s rather the opposite: as an artist Diamond works extremely focused on the development of a lasting and unique work, which maybe can only be defined by the name: Alex Diamond is Alex Diamond is …. His distinctive approach to making his art is defined by creating quality, value and relevance within his complete work as an artist.”

Toast
Original charcter by Stefan Marx, mascot for Cleptomanicx‘ jubilee.
Fabric, foam, paint, millions of handmade stitches, 105 x 120 cm, 2006
Nina Braun is immersed in an analogue world, where the obsession with material and her devotion to each individual object emerges from her very personal imagery.
Her approach to materials like wool and fabric are the base for her sometimes child-like and naive objects that result from an intensive working process. Considering that we are living in a digital era where economical aspects of the working process prevail and thoughts and images can be infinitely reproduced, Nina Braun’s approach to work is quite revolutionary.

Ice: A Victorian Romance
Inuit waiting at a seal-hole on the ice, from William Edward Parry, Second Voyage, 1824.
Visiting a remarkable iceberg, from John Ross, A Voyage of Discovery, 1819.
The Lion and Reliance in icy seas, from John Franklin, Narrative of a Second Expedition, 1828.
Adventures. Brave. Ice. I’m in love of those historic images. Strongly recommended for all historic illustration fans (like me).
Ice: A Victorian Romance exhibition attempts to merge these three icy frontiers into one thematic story. By 1860, the idea that the earth had gone through an Ice Age was finally being accepted, and people attempted to view that Ice Age through the lenses of the Arctic, Antarctica, and the Alps. Knowledge of the Arctic and Antarctic, gained at such cost, provided a framework for reconstructing the ice of the prehistoric past.
All the publications on display are from the collections of the Linda Hall Library.
