“THE POST-MODERN SERIES, FINDING BALANCE AND STRENGTH DURING TIMES OF CHALLENGE” BY “The Post-Modern Series, Finding Balance and Strength During Times of Challenge” by Martin Eichinger at the Mary Martin Gallery, 103 Broad Street. Eichinger will be unveiling his newest bronze sculpture series, “Post Modern”, during this the featured show for the month of October. Compared to the great renaissance sculpture Donatello, Martin Eichingerhas been internationally recognized for his romantic classical bronze sculptures. For more than twenty years, this dynamic, visionary artist has produced limited-edition sculptures that engage the minds and hearts of art lovers and collectors.Grouped into themed series—Dream, Circus, Exotic Women, Goddess, Duet, Passage, Dance, Mythic Man, Ideoforms, and Meditation—Eichinger sculptures chronicle the eternal human pursuit of meaning, happiness, and growth.The “Post-Modern” series invites a conversation for the viewer to contemplate. Each figure is delicately balanced on a post that represents a new way of approaching an idea.According to Eichinger: “To summarize the significance of the Post-Modern series: The tides are shifting for humanity and we are in the process of discovering a new perspective and perhaps a new dance.”“Open, balancing freely in flight, grounding and stable on one hand while the other hand is unburdened. His actions showing that anything is possible” is how Eichinger describes “On the Other Hand”, (35 h x 15 w x 11 d, Edition 75).Eichinger sculptures are also known for their unique patina. Eichinger designed a new silver style patina specifically for the “Post Modern” series by to express and reflect the cool toned contemporary nature of the sculptures and to create an “edgy” effect, symbolizing the concept of Post-modern. Martin Eichinger’s narrative, romantic sculptures grace numerous private and corporate collections around the world. Working in his 6,000-square-foot studio, with its 16-foot-high-ceilings, Eichinger creates dramatic bronzes that range in scale from intimate to monumental. Important large-scale, public, and commissioned works include Windlord, a 16-foot cast-bronze sculpture commissioned by the City of Lansing, Michigan; a high-relief plaque for the Christopher Columbus Quincentennial Celebration; a plaque and bust commemorating President Ronald Reagan; and Ski Trooper, a sculpture commissioned in honor of the 50th anniversary of the U.S. Army’s Tenth Mountain Division. Eichinger has won numerous awards and honors, including First Place in the International ARC Salon, the C. Percival Dietsch Prize for Best Sculpture in the Round, Kellogg Internship, and a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. In 1993, at the invitation of His Serene Highness, Prince Rainier III of Monaco, he exhibited his Circus series at the Festival International du Cirque de Monte-Carlo.

Jeff Koons was born in 1955 in York, Pennsylvania. He received his B.F.A. at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore and studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Since his emergence in the 1980s Jeff Koons has blended the concerns and methods of Pop, Conceptual, and appropriation art with craft-making and popular culture to create his own unique iconography, often controversial and always engaging. His work explores contemporary obsessions with sex and desire; race and gender; and celebrity, media, commerce, and fame. A self-proclaimed "idea man," Koons hires artisans and technicians to make the actual works. For him, the hand of the artist is not the important issue: "Art is really just communication of something and the more archetypal it is, the more communicative it is."
Jeff Koons' artworks rarely inspire moderate responses, and this is one signal of the importance of his achievement. Focusing on some of the most unexpected objects as models for his work, Koons' works eschew typical standards of "good taste" in art and zero in rather precisely on the vulnerabilities of hierarchies and value systems. As critic Christopher Knight has written "He turns the traditional cliché of the work of art inside out: Rather than embodying a spiritual or expressive essence of a highly individuated artist, art here is composed from a distinctly American set of conventional middle-class values."
Since his first solo show in 1980, Koons' work has been widely exhibited internationally in solo and group exhibitions. Recent solo shows include the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli (2003), the Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art, Oslo (2004), which traveled to the Helsinki City Art Museum (2005); Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago (2008); "Jeff Koons: Versailles,"château de Versailles, France (2008-2009). In 2009 alone, Koons had four major solo exhibitions in public institutions: the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; the rooftop of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin; and the Serpentine Gallery, London. Koons lives and works in New York City.
