KLAUS VOM BRUCH ?, no title, ca 1981-1985 [VHS cassette + 4 photo’s]

KLAUS VOM BRUCH ?, no title, ca 1981-1985
VHS cassette box, photo copy, 4 Fuji Color photo prints (each 8.8 x 12.6 cm)
splendid condition
unknown publisher
condition: splendid, although one photo has two weak corner folds

For this item an artist’s name is not at hand. It is attributed to Klaus vom Bruch but it cannot be approved. At some point in the eighties I got hold on this VHS cassette including four vintage photo prints. I have a vague remembrance that I got it from Vereniging van Videokunstenaars founded in Amsterdam in 1982. Somewhere I have the idea that this cassette was a kind of promotion material of a video film to be launched soon. Hence a lacking VHS video tape. KvG

HANNES VAN ES, Clear view on several black stains, 1987 [installation photo]

HANNES VAN ES, Clear view on several black stains, 1987
17,7 x 24 cm
analogue press photo
Foto: P. Houcmant

This black and white photo was taken of an installation Hannes van Es made as part of his solo exhibition at Galerie van Gelder ‘Werken op papier: 1982 – 1987’. For the first time he used four Vanes acrylic paint cans as weights, placed at the corners of a paper floor work that he had covered with blobs of black Vanes paint. The latter was specifically made by a Spanish company for the purpose of his thick layered paintings.

HANNES VAN ES, portrait 1986 [photo print]

HANNES VAN ES, portrait 1986
17,9 x 12,7 cm
colour photo print
photo: K. van Gelder

After his works had been installed in GvG (notice the dusty knees of his trousers) on Saturday 10 June 1986 Hannes van Es requested me to take a picture of him under a sculpture named “Vehicle” (1986), made of iroko wood, ivory, gold, silver, resina and lava granite. A small sterling silver crown above the artist’s head was the basic idea of having this photo taken. KvG

Valérie Belin’s (1964) photographs objects, such as glasses, silverware, Venetian mirrors, car motors, or animal carcasses. And also portraits. The concept of her method is simple; taking a photograph is a matter of light and exposure, then the subject seems to change of character.

The portrait photograph ‘Black Woman II’ by Valérie Belin shows a young woman with a remarkably smooth face. How is it possible that someone is made up so smoothly. Later I was told that this is the head of a mannequin made up as faithfully as possible as a human being. Every time I look at it I must try hard to see it as a doll with a wig and face paint. Odd.
