SUMMARY:ANH DUONG: LA TENTATION D’EXISTER. THERE IS ALWAYS CHAMPAGNE IN THE FRIDGE
DESCRIPTION:Galerie Gmurzynska is pleased to announce “La Tentation d’Exister. There is always Champagne in the Fridge\,” Anh Duong’s first solo show in Switzerland and her inaugural show with the gallery. \n“When I paint myself\, I use a true mirror. So it’s a reflection of the reflection\, so it’s actually the real me”  \n– Anh Duong \nFeaturing more than 20 oil paintings dating from 1989 to today\, the exhibition will explore the questions of self and identity in the 21st century. \nCaptivating and voyeuristic\, Duong’s portraits and self-portraits are both revealing and mysterious as if watching something about to unfold. The viewer enters private moments in intimate spaces\, the paintings capture a specific mood or time in the life of the artist and yet we are left to ponder/wonder what that moment or chapter may have been. The exaggerated eyes transfix our gaze\, and we feel captured\, pierced\, exposed\, as nude as the oils we are observing. However many doors these paintings open\, they throw up an even greater amount of closed ones\, making them all the more alluring and intriguing. \nThe still-lives\, which Duong also identifies as self-portraits\, speak to a relationship with the self. They show typical objects from a woman’s boudoir\, such as shoes\, perfumes\, and make-up\, perhaps representing a modern woman’s armor as well as hinting at a consumerist underpinning. Like the portraits\, these objects speak of a woman’s relationship with her self-image. How essential is this armor\, portrayed in such a seductive manner? Whatever they may say about women or identity in the 21st century\, Duong’s enigmatic paintings never fail to seduce and capture the viewer. \nAbout Anh Duong\nAnh Duong was born in Bordeaux\, France to a Vietnamese father and Spanish mother. She studied architecture at the École des beaux-arts in Paris and danced with the Franchetti Academy of Classical Dance. In 1988 she moved to New York City where she began painting. Duong’s unique perspective is influenced by her varied aesthetic career and creative interests\, as a successful model\, actress and muse\, inspiring artists such as Julian Schnabel\, working with major designers such as Donna Karan and John Galliano\, and posing for esteemed photographers. Discovered by David Seidner\, who photographed her for the iconic YSL campaign for Vogue in 1986\, Duong later posed with Peter Lindbergh\, Mario Testino\, and Patrick Demarchelier to name a few and appeared in publications such as Elle and Architectural Digest. \nForgetting the subject to focus on the technical painting itself\, the artist focuses on the portrait\, and mostly the self-portrait that she paints on a daily basis likening it to a visual diary. Anh Duong has however also worked on portraits of prominent art collectors and personalities\, such as Princess Maria Theresia Alexandra of Thurn and Taxis\, Simon de Pury\, Aby Rosen\, Susan Sarandon\, Domenico Dolce\, Natalia Vodianova\, and Angelica Huston among others. One of her important portrait commissions was by Barry Diller for his yacht’s figurehead – a sculpture standing almost three meters in stainless steel of Diane von Furstenberg. The National Portrait gallery in Washington DC acquired another portrait she painted of Diane von Furstenberg for their permanent collection. Most recently\, she has been commissioned to sculpt 50 stars for the entrance wall of the new museum of the Statue of Liberty. \n\nImage:\nInstallation view: ANH DUONG: LA TENTATION D’EXISTER.

SUMMARY:LOVE is in the Air
DESCRIPTION:Galerie Gmurzynska is pleased to announce a career-spanning exhibition of notable and rarely seen works by Robert Indiana (1928-2018). “LOVE is in the Air” will feature works from 1959-2007\, highlighting Indiana’s expansive and multi-faceted career. \nFeatured in the exhibition is LOVE WALL (Red Blue) 1966-2007\, a spectacular reimagining and quintessential hallmark of Indiana’s most celebrated work. Renowned for his unique word-image\, Robert Indiana first conceived LOVE for MoMA’s Christmas card in 1965. A stamp bearing the same motif became a bestseller when it was released in 1973\, and LOVE would soon grace innumerable pieces and media of various measures and forms across the globe\, spreading Indiana’s universal message in the most democratic and powerful way art is capable of. To Indiana\, words are omnipresent and unchanging\, they are stable in a transient world\, yet they are undeniably human. Like numbers\, another consistent and important theme in Indiana’s oeuvre\, they are a great constant in our lives. Two dates and a hyphen can effectively summarize a person’s entire life\, each number its own eternity. Words and numbers do not fade\, and Indiana imbues them with a personality that brings them back to earth. As the ‘O’ in ‘LOVE’ slants it supports and caresses the letters that surround it as they dance in a flirtatious circle\, creating a mirror image of one another. The effect is familiar yet curiously new\, exciting\, and fascinatingly charming\, reflecting what it feels like to fall in love. A mixture of emotions swirling about\, melting into one another in a fury of intense and passionate red\, grounded by the central ‘O’ and a soothing blue that seeps around the edges. The red and blue slip into one another as the ‘O’ might slip between the sheets. It is a love story told through form and color\, illustrated with the power of a word. \nFor Indiana\, color was preeminent. Color came first\, and everything else followed. Just as color unites ‘LOVE’\, its importance can be seen in another rarely publicly displayed work from 1969\, Terre Haute No. 2. It is an artwork inspired by Indiana’s personal life\, named after a city in Indiana\, with references to the Wabash River that flows across the Midwestern US\, and Route 40\, which Indiana frequently traveled on with his parents in their Ford Model T. He selected this work to represent the final year of the decade in his graphic print portfolio\, The Decades Portfolio\, highlighting its significance. This work is emblematic of Indiana’s vivacious colors and innovative interpretation of hard-edge painting as he draws on a multitude of visual vernaculars encompassing the high and the low. Merging literary sources with the signage system unique to the American commercial landscape\, Indiana’s work represents a simultaneously broad yet also autobiographically coded pictorial language derived from these signifiers. Thus\, dialectically\, Robert Indiana merges formal simplification together with high intellectual complexity. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nGalerie Gmurzynska has mounted several significant exhibitions of Indiana’s work and published substantial catalogues\, notably “Robert Indiana: Rare Works from 1959 on Coenties Slip” (2011)\, “Robert Indiana: The Monumental Woods” (2013) as well as the extensive catalogue “To Russia with LOVE” accompanying the State Russian Museum retrospective featuring rare archival images and texts. The gallery was instrumental in lending significant works to “Beyond Love\,” the seminal 2013 exhibition at the Whitney Museum\, curated by Barbara Haskell. \nThe exhibition is scheduled from February 25-April 4th\, 2020. \n  \nAbout Galerie Gmurzynska \nFounded in Cologne\, Germany in 1965 and now housed in a landmark building at Paradeplatz in Zurich\, Switzerland Galerie Gmurzynska is an internationally renowned gallery known for its museum quality and uniquely curated exhibitions. In 2018\, the gallery opened a location in New York’s historic Upper East Side.
