"They blend the colors of the hidden city with its evanescent hybrid identities: the day and night, the neon lights that illuminate the facades, the patchwork of contamination where new faces emerge, the crowds of passers-by, the subways, up to construct geometric shapes in which to play invent memories. the urban landscape, and its human bodies, perceptions become indelible. Its dynamics and characteristics are in the excess, in the static or nell'incompiuto. In these cities migrations and transformations are self-generated. Such a voracious bodies that reconstruct utopias. seductive idiosyncrasies in such imitation, repetition, the symbol and the sublime are connected all'estraniazione of modern alienation. Imagine yourself portrayed as an unexpected passer, in these vortex streets, between buildings - in a film flow of an unusual setting and unstable polymorph ". Camilla Boemio, 2012

The Art of Dr. Seuss - Rare Editions Event

The Art of Dr. Seuss   RARE EDITIONS EVENT Animazing Gallery July 14th - August 19th, 2012 Exhibition Features Rare Editions from "The Art of Dr. Seuss" collection

NEW YORK, NY - From July 14th through August 19th, Animazing Gallery of SoHo will present "The Art of Dr. Seuss - Rare Editions Event." Celebrating the artistic legacy of Theodor Seuss Geisel, twenty-four of the most sought-after artworks will be presented at the gallery with recent releases from The Art of Dr. Seuss collection, offering a rare opportunity for visitors to view and experience one of the largest selections of authorized estate editions ever assembled. This exhibition offers an insider's view of the extraordinary imagery reproduced from Dr. Seuss's private collection of paintings and sculptures created throughout his 70 years of artistic innovation. Exhibition curator, William Dreyer is available for phone interviews at (847-564-2000 ext. 26).    About the Exhibition For over 70 years, Theodor Seuss Geisel's illustrations brought a visual realization to his fantastic imaginary worlds. However, his artistic talent went far beyond the printed page. Ted Geisel's "Secret Art," the paintings and sculptures created at night for his own personal enjoyment, were rarely exhibited during his lifetime. Seuss always dreamed of sharing these works with his fans and had entrusted his wife, Audrey, to carry out his wishes once he was gone. Audrey, too, believed the work deserved further recognition and that Ted himself would one day be evaluated not only as an author, but also as an artist in his own right. In 1997, this dream was realized when The Art of Dr. Seuss project was launched. For the first time, collectors were able to see and acquire artworks reproduced from Geisel's original drawings, paintings and sculpture. Audrey Geisel (Mrs. Dr. Seuss) remarked in 2010, "It is with great pleasure that I share Ted, his art, his imagination, and his boundless creativity. I'm gratified to carry out Ted's wishes and have these works revealed to the world." Since the historic launch of this project, over thirty editions of Arabic numbers have sold-out, fifteen others are quickly approaching sell-out. This exhibition presents the largest selection of rare estate editions ever assembled. Artworks from this collection have toured to galleries and museums around the world, establishing Dr. Seuss as a significant artist of the 20th Century. It is with great pleasure that we share with you the artistic legacy of Theodor Seuss Geisel.

About the Artist: Theodor Seuss Geisel (American, 1904-1991) Theodor Seuss Geisel, a.k.a. Dr. Seuss, began his career as a little known editorial cartoonist in the 1920's. His intriguing perspective and fresh concepts ignited his career, and his work evolved quickly to deft illustrations, modeled sculpture and sophisticated oil paintings of elaborate imagination. Dr. Seuss is currently best known as one of the most beloved and bestselling children's authors of all time, having written and illustrated classics such as The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham and How The Grinch Stole Christmas! Geisel was also a political cartoonist for PM magazine during World War II, as well as a contributing illustrator for Vanity Fair and Life.  He had a long, successful advertising career, he was an Academy Award winner for his wartime documentaries, as well as his animated short film, "Gerald McBoing Boing." Today his paintings hang in fine art galleries along side Old and Contemporary Masters including Picasso, Warhol, Rembrandt, Miro and others.   His unique artistic vision emerged as the golden thread which linked every facet of his varied career, and his artwork became the platform from which he delivered 44 children's books, over 400 World War II political cartoons, hundreds of advertisements, and countless editorials filled with wonderfully inventive animals, characters and clever humor. Geisel single-handedly forged a new genre of art that falls somewhere between the Surrealist Movement of the early 20th Century and the inspired nonsense of a child's classroom doodles.   About Animazing Gallery A landmark gallery in SoHo since 1984, Animazing exhibits a unique collection of original and limited edition animation and illustration artwork that indulges the senses and emotions with color & playfulness. Exclusive collections include art & sculpture by great American illustrators, such as Tim Burton, Theodor Geisel, Charles M Schulz, & Maurice Sendak.

Richard Prince: Pre-Appropriation Works

Richard Prince: Pre-Appropriation Works, 1973-1974

Exhibition from Saturday July 7 to Saturday September 1, 2012

Opening on Saturday July 7, 2012 from 6 pm to 9 pm 

mfc-michèle didier’s first year in Paris comes to an end with a light summer show, but nonetheless exceptional, the exhibition Richard Prince: Pre-Appropriation Works, 1973-1974.

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to come see Richard Prince’s early works from Saturday July 7 until Saturday September 1, 2012. The opening will take place Saturday July 7 from 6 pm to 9 pm. 

Richard Prince, internationally known American artist, particularly famous for his re-photographed Marlboro’s advertisements and for his series of Nurse paintings, is an expert in appropriation art and probably the artist who counts best America’s fin de siècle. 

However, the focus of the exhibition is put here on the years «before the appropriation», and more precisely on the years 1973 and 1974. The works shown at the gallery were collected in the early seventies by Angus Whyte, Richard Prince’s first art dealer. Etchings, collages, monoprints, drawings and letters are examples of the techniques the young Prince has experimented. 

On one hand, Flavored Letters, written in 1974, can be considered as Mail Art, an artistic movement that many of the artists of this era have practiced; Richard Prince showed a significant interest in researching the artistic expressions of his time. 

On the other hand, transfer technique, the intermediate process between the collected and the distributed image, is recurring in his work, almost systematic. This clearly announces what appeared later: Richard Prince’s trademark, appropriation. 

These early researches testify to the artist’s integration in conceptual concerns of this time and prefigure works that will make Richard Prince an artist with a remarkable individuality. The exhibition Richard Prince: Pre-Appropriation Works, 1973-1974 enables us to discover the premises of Richard Prince’s art, back to the origin of his creation.

We warmly thank Angus Whyte and David Platzker for their close collaboration in the development of this exhibition.

For more information about the exhibition, please contact us by email info@micheledidier.com or by phone + 33 1 71 97 49 13. 

The gallery will be closed from August 7 to 22, 2012 included. From August 23 to September 1, the gallery will adopt a summer schedule, which means that it will be open from Thursday to Saturday, from 12 am to 7 pm.
