DAMIEN HIRSTBORN: JUNE 7, 1965MEMBER YOUNG BRITISH ARTIST (YBA)THEME: DEATH

PRESERVE DEAD ANIMALS DISSECTED INFORMALHYDE


3/32


4/32

British conceptual artist Damien Hirst's installations of animals preserved in formaldehyde stirred controversywhen they were created in the 1990s, but made hisreputation. Here he is posing in front of some of them: "TheIncredible Journey" ( top ), "The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living" ( center ), and "In HisInfinite Wisdom" (bottom ). Hirst has since done a series of medicine cabinets, one of which sold for 9.65 millionpounds , making him the most expensive living Europeanartist (and what some consider one of the most over-valued). From the news reports, Hirst can be a bit touchy.He ended his relationship with long-time collector CharlesSaatchi in 2003 and sold a complete show at auction in 2008rather than through his long-standing galleries - a move thatgarnered him a record-breaking $198 million.

Balloon animals and cartoon characters are fun childhoodmemories for most, but for artist Jeff Koon s, they aremonuments! The Pennsylvania-born painter andsculptor's larger than life sculptures are kitsch writ large.Koons' latest show, "Jeff Koons on the Roof" at theMetropolitan Museum of Art in NYC, which opened lastweek, is this year's must-see exhibit in the Big Apple, andhis public sculptures are permanent fixtures at theG uggenhe im Bilbao in Spain and Papal Palace in Avignon,France.A graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art inBaltimore and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago,Koon has won numerous awards and honors, some of which include the BZ Cultural Award from the City of

Berlin, induction into the Signet Society for Arts andLetters at Harvard University, and the Chevalier de laLgion d Honneur. Despite his acclaim, his workreceives mixed reactions: some criticize it as tacky, whileothers praise his determination to create art asentertainment, maintaining that viewers can admire and

appreciate it without searching for a hidden or abstractmeaning.Koons tries to avoid being categorized into a specific style,though "Neo-Pop" and "Post-Pop" seem to take holdamong critics and admirers alike. But no matter whichside you're on, you can't help but stare in awe at thesheer awesomeness of it all.

The Peggy Guggenheim Collection presents Belgian artistWim Delvoye s latest creation, Torre : a laser-cutcortensteell tower, with ogival windows, tracery andturrets in the international Gothic style, on the terrace of

Palazzo Venier Dei Leoni, overlooking the Grand Canal inVenice. The tower measures 232 x 232 x 983 cm and willbe on show until November 22, 2009.Both architecture and ornament, Torre by Wim Delvoyedemonstrates not only ethereal majesty and vision butforceful material presence, drawing inspiration from

masterpieces of Gothic architecture such as Notre Dame,Paris, and the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine, NewYork.Wim Delvoye s artistic practice draws on the notion of theattraction of binary opposites: the sacred and the profane,the past and the present, the triumph of ornamentation

over functionality.His art thrives on such paradoxes, that also form the basisof surrealist artistic practice, combining these componentsof difference, not always manifest but ever present in hisaesthetic.The placement of a gothic tower from the high middlesages in the vicinity of Palazzo Venier Dei Leoni s 18thcentury classicism creates just such a forceful andprovocative paradox.For Wim Delvoye: While the renaissance was a worldview, the Gothic was a state of mind.The renaissance was afinite epoch lasting half a century before being succeededby mannerism.

Type of modern art in which the artist uses, as part of thecomposition, the specific setting (such as walls, floor, lights,and fittings) along with various materials. Typically thechosen materials more or less fill the space, and the vieweris often able to move around or otherwise interact with thework, so that they become part of that work in that specificmoment in time. There are various precedents for this kindof art, but it was not until the 1980s that artists began tospecialize in installations. Works are usually intended to beimpermanent, but some have been purchased andpreserved
