Recollections of Art Basel 2013 .4 Sculptures (2013 巴塞爾藝展回顧:雕塑篇.4)

Cont'd




Giving and Spent, 2012 by Gabriel Kuri, cool blue before being lit, red, brown and black after extinction, all taller before "giving"






Man as Baboon  (?) 



The Finish Line in patinated bronze 2012 by Matthew Monahan: pin stripes top to bottom but with ancient North Indian head band.



"Neither in nor out" 2013 by Marcelo Silvera in cajacatinga wood and linen. Surely not! it's leftover bread from El Zorro's lunch!




Metal and tape configuration: everything's got to be "measured" or "tied", even apparently irregular shapes of Nature?



Pure play of cicles, curves and trapezium: circles and balls all moving in different directions



Monument 1956 a painted ceramic sculpture by Joan Miró/Josef LL Artigas: folded, torn, amidst ruins of former shapes of more classical times and cramped within stands too small for them



Untitled 1958 by Joan Miró



Theseus & the Minotaur 1942 in bronze by Jacque Lipchitz



A close up of Theseus' upper torso: note his strength



Sketch  for Bellerophon Taming, Pegasus VI  1964 by the same artist



Microscope in bronze 2007 by Tom Otterness : woman looking at man!





A figure trying hard to lift himself off the ground. why can't he move away? What's tying him to the
.


Mirrors, mirrors on the floor. Which is the fairest of them all?  Memories: different yet the same.





Interrupcion 2012 by Juan Genoves: people dancing, lost in the ecstasy of movement yet frozen in time



Zooming in on part of the canvas



Cicatriz (Stitching) 2013 by the same artist, people bathed in blood: what divided the two sides?.





Global by him: people everywhere had to move within or across squares



A detail of Global: people each doing their own thing


Fiore II 2013 in rion Monolo Valdes



a very idiosyncratic combination 



Another metal sculpture: name of artist forgotten



Easel 2011 in brass and bronze by Anthony Caro



Grey, Pink and Black Sky 2012 by George Russell


Bloodydriven  2007 by John Chamberlain



Another untitled work by the same artist



wooden flower?



ham buns?



Sprinter?



Colorful combination in wood, artist's name forgotten


Same piece, different angle



A huge piece of installation art: pure color and spiraling form



Prathama Milana 1962 by George Keyt: why does she looks so sad and dejected?




cricket with butterfly wings on a brain



"Crumpled Tissue" found by El Zorro, May 2013 on the floor of the Convention Plaza Hall !

  1. Crumpled Tissue.
    Job done.
    Are you happy to have ended just like that?
    Or did you have any other mission in mind?
    [版主回覆07/21/2013 13:28:43]I don't worry about that kind of thing. We'll all be crumpled one day. Until that time, I do what I got to do: what I think I can do best.

  2. 最後那團紙幽了大家一默。題名:天鵝。by 雪山飛狐哥哥!
    [版主回覆07/22/2013 21:16:39]It looked quite shapely. So I took it. I don't have to touch it. So even if what you said were true, it would have absolutely no effect on me!
    [Peter回覆07/22/2013 09:28:27]飛狐可能捉錯用神, 見到地下廢紙當寶. 可能前頭嗰位大傷風嘅師奶dump低都唔定.
    [版主回覆07/21/2013 22:01:39]I was "inspired" by the trolley of junk in the previous blog to include the crumpled tissue paper and the bread rinds It's weekend! Might as well have a bit of fun!

  5. Thanks for sharing! I like the one "woman looking at man"....interesting!
    [版主回覆07/22/2013 08:54:28]I think that's probably what the artist wanted to express. Looks familiar, doesn't it?

    [版主回覆07/22/2013 22:19:54]Your're right. You'd never have thought the artist could do such a "sculpture/installation" !
