Let us introduce eight pieces by the following artists from CURIO private sales.
Tatsuo Miyajima/ Alberto Giacometti/ Alessandro Pianon/ Olafur Eliasson/ Ryousuke Misawa
He is one of Japan’s leading contemporary artists and is highly acclaimed worldwide. His works are based on the three concepts of “it keeps changing,” “it has a relationship with everything,” and “it lasts forever.” Miyajima has presented installations and other works that examine the flow of time and human activities.
In the “Life Face vol. 2” series of works we are introducing here, all segments are embossed to create a three-dimensional effect. Although they are silkscreen prints, the numbers are different for each work, making them unique works that are not the same.
Alberto Giacometti is known as one of the leading sculptors of the 20th century.
He is best known for his sculptures of elongated figures with no flesh and no irregularities, which he began to produce around 1947, and in his later years, he returned to two-dimensional art such as painting and prints.
This lithograph here is of one of his signature motifs, the elongated figures.
Pianon was an architect and designer born in Venice, Italy in 1910. He is well known for his glass objects of birds and chicks and pendant lights with adorable forms, which are still popular among collectors today.
The “Glass Bird” piece introduced today is a handmade and hand-blown piece that was carefully crafted one by one. The combination of vivid colors such as green, blue, and red, and the various expressions of the glass that change as it catches the light, give the piece an undeniably charming presence.
Born in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1967.
Interested in natural phenomena and architectural structures, Eliasson has created numerous installations that use space, light, water, fog, and other elements of the natural world, as well as sometimes machines, to act on the exhibition space itself, including the audience.
In Tokyo, the exhibition “Olafur Eliasson: Cycle of Interconnected Moments in Harmony” was held in March this year to commemorate the opening of Azabudai Hills Gallery.
Born in Fukui Prefecture in 1992, Misawa worked as a photographer before becoming a full-fledged contemporary artist in 2020.
He has been active not only in Japan but also abroad, holding solo exhibitions in London, New York, and Taiwan, and recently participated in the urban art project “YOU FEEL,” which decorated the entire Shibuya station area in Tokyo, making him a hot artist of the moment.
Here is his unique work in edition 1/1.
