Posted on by

DAAN VAN GOLDEN, untitled / Souvenir, 2017
3 parts
screen print on fabric: 10,5 x 12,9 cm / gold envelope: 11 x 15,6 cm
condition: splendid
condition outer envelope “Souvenir”: smudged, verso crumpled
private collection
inv.DvG 000-pr

This gold coloured envelope with screen print on vinyl cloth depicts a characteristic dark red Daisy pattern that Daan van Golden often uses in his paintings and photographs. There is no sign of origin.

A white outer envelope entitled “Souvenir” contains a screen print in a golden coloured smaller envelope. At the back side a ‘D’ in print refers to the first name of the artist. The envelope’s colour in gold alludes with the surname of Daan van Golden. It is known that instead of a name plate next to his door bell a plate painted in gold was mounted, referring to his surname.

The grey line frame on the white envelope shows that this item was a thank object presented to family and friends for their compassion, condolences and sympathy after Daan van Golden deceased in 2017. Both envelopes lack any form of origin of publication.

Outer envelope
12 x 18,1 cm
conditio: scuffing, stains, crumpled on left side
recto: text “Souvenir”, verso initial “D” – both in screen print

This basically monochrome card has the appearance of a reproduction of a Minimalistic work from the sixties or seventies, for the largest part made by male artists. Here, Sylvie Fleury used a lipstick colour for her monochrome card to which she added a lipstick kiss imprint.

It re-emerged twice, the first time as Contemporary Art in 1993 and the second time again as Contemporary in 2002 (stopped in 2008), but this time not limited anymore to visual arts.
