Joey with her ‘She’s Free’ cake, NYC (1997)
This image was selected from an exhibition catalogue full of colour photographs shot by Nan Goldin in the late 1990s, to accompany her 1997 show Love Streams at Yvon Lambert Gallery in Paris. Featuring the American photographer’s signature diaristic, documentary-style portraits of her friends and lovers reclining on beds and sofas or in clubs and taxis across New York and Chicago, this book was published one year after her 1996 exhibition I’ll Be Your Mirror at the Whitney Museum of American Art, which mixed in moving studies of Cookie Mueller’s illness and passing, and photographs from The Ballad of Sexual Dependency.

Spruth Magers held a solo exhibition by Gary Hume, Mum, on September 30th, 2017 in London, UK.
“The new works on paper present abstracted visions of figures, objects and scenes recalled from Hume’s childhood or observed in family photographs. Works that feature the artist’s mother as their subject examine the relationship between the two in light of her failing health... Gary Hume’s new paintings on paper act as a meditation on memory. The distortion of their surface questions the consistency of recollection, whilst the truncated forms mimic the ability of the mind’s eye to abstract physical and visceral experience into a collection of stilled and disembodied images. “

“ Get to know Luca Lugosis, the artist behind LUGOSIS MILANO. Some refer to him as “Enfant perdu” and the tattoo on his face makes it clear. No wonder, LUGOSIS started drawing before he was even able to speak. Everywhere and whenever there was time, he would work on his creations without even looking up. Using the walls of his family's home in Italy as canvases, these walls quickly turned to be the facades of big cities. ”(Varsi)

Claude Garache
Galerie Maeght Poster

Lithograph
Published by Galerie Maeght
1980
20 x 26 inches
An artist’s artist, Garache was first recommended to Aime Maeght, the most important art-dealer in post-war France, by two of Maeght’s most important artists, Joan Miro and Marc Chagall.
Living and working in Paris, Claude Garache (b.1929) has achieved that balance of suprise and inevitability (the blending of an individual talent and a viable tradition) thay marks the works of Degas and Matisse, Derain and Giacometti. Looking at Garache’s oeuvre, we recognize works that immediately proclaim themselves as “classic”, yet which are more disturbing than we expect classic art to be. Rather than confronting the source of this disturbance, it is tempting to concentrate instead on Garache’s technical virtuosity. As a painter, Garache is a perfectionist, layering on wash after wash of color, building up depth and intensity, establishing both a ground and an almost 3-dimensional shape looming out of that ground. Garache is an established master of the aquatint, whose graphics are regularly included in the Bibliotheque Nationale’s five-year surveys of the most important work in prints and were similarly included in shows at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Edition of 500

Exhibition held at Leo Castelli’s April 1st-25th, 1995 The text spells out 'Soapy Smith' Baby Doe"
Ed Ruscha’s expansive oeuvre defies easy categorization, though it’s all infused with a kind of deadpan California cool. Since the 1960s, Ruscha has made photographic books, tongue-in-cheek photo collages, paintings, and drawings that demonstrate a keen interest in language and the idiosyncrasies of life in Los Angeles, where the artist has lived since the 1950s. In his most famous works, he places words and phrases from the colloquial and consumerist vernacular atop photographic images or fields of color—a strategy that situates him within a larger Pop Art lineage.
Andy Warhol
- Paris Review No.18
Offset Lithograph
Produced in 1978
Published by Alice Editions
Edition unknown
16 x 11 inches
Paris Review 18 by Andy Warhol was published in a series of prints by forty different artists to publicize and provide financial support for the Paris Review magazine. Warhol pays tribute to the magazine through his print of a receipt for New York Regency wine and liquor made out for (prompt) delivery to the Paris Review. Warhol created this piece during the period in which he was contemplating everyday items.
The Paris Review was founded in 1953 by Harold L. Humes, Peter Matthiessen, and George Plimpton with the goal “to emphasize creative work—fiction and poetry—not to the exclusion of criticism, but with the aim in mind of merely removing criticism from the dominating place it holds in most literary magazines.” Plimpton was known for parties he threw at his Upper East Side apartment, just blocks away from the liquor store where Warhol made the purchase scribbled on this ticket.
