Vous verrez donc sur les étagères : des plâtres fildeferrés, des pièces inanimées en conversation télépathique, des controverses boisées, las maquinas inutiles et d’autres saloperies célestes. You will therefore see on the shelves: the wireded plasters, inanimate pieces in telepathic conversation, controversy wooded, the unnecessary maquinas and other celestial filths. Drafts, cuts, the completed and the unfinished, as well as some rebel dolls will share the floor, perhaps. The thing-book, handuspainted manuscripts, logomaniac inventories and other foggy souvenirs will be knee to knee, shoulder to shoulder in displays. The year 2007 is the centenary of the death of Alfred Jarry. On this occasion, Ricardo Mosner illustrates Ubu Roi at Éditions Gallimard. The book as well as a few originals will be presented at the gallery.

Georg Baselitz "REMIX" Until January 26th, 2008 at the Gallerie Catherine Putman

The gallery Catherine Putnam, Baselitz french editor since 1997, shows the latest prints of the artist as well as some recent gouaches and ink in the series of "Remix". Since 2005, Baselitz Actually resumes, in his painting and in his printmaking, compositions from the 60's and 70's. He redraws them, sometimes even questionning the inversion of figures (started in 1969), illustrating a genuine dialogue with his early work.

He strikes at the copper plate, wood or linoleum (more appropriate surface for monumental prints) with as much violence and control as found in his painting and his sculpture. Indeed, the style of Georg Baselitz was confirmed over the years in finding an accuracy and a fantastic energy in its strokes. George Baselitz masters the colors he manipulates with lightness and harmony, all in a sense of freshness.


A major feature of this "engraver-painter" is to represent his subjects head upside down. Indeed, for him this technique gave him the freedom to confront pictorial problems.
