  cardboard box ‘Paper Suit’

   ‘Paper Suit’, brown version

In 1966 James Rosenquist was ‘The Man in the Paper Suit‘, due to the fact that the artist wore a brown suit made of paper by fashion designer Horst to various exhibitions and gallery openings. His idea to wear such a suit design harks back to the brief 1960s fashion for paper dresses like the Warhol dress with Campbell Soup prints.

Rob Scholte is being looked at as the enfent terrible in the Dutch art scene. Appropriation of a polka dot, a Monopoly game or a Philips logo it is all in the game of making the notion copyright into a dispute. Here with ‘Nu met gratis “piece of fabric” van Rob Scholte’/’Now with free canvas of Rob Scholte’ he alludes to giving away a canvas to the buyer of a commodity item.
Next to a yellow spray cap there is a blue spray cap version called Glassex Multi-Action and a re-fill flask, both including a cloth with signature in print.

MARIJKE VAN WARMERDAM, ’92-’96, 1996

MARIJKE VAN WARMERDAM, ’92-’96, 1996
110 x 80 cm
offset on paper, aluminum
signed, dated
edition 50
published by Wiener Secession, Vienna, Austria / Marijke van Warmerdam
p.o.r.

 

“After the artist had made the final selection of works for her exhibition in the Wiener Secession, she noticed that her choice contained a work from every year between 1992 and 1995. Based on this fact she made a poster, but because the poster itself was also a work, the year 1996 was added as a new fact. The image of white dates on a black background created the suggestion of five consecutive frames of a film.” From text by Kees van Gelder in catalogue ‘Close by in the distance’ (2011), p. 74.
