What are €
8,500 to get an apartment in Sunny Beach? You buy it and you are an investor, a respected
man, opening jobs and you get a good
position for a temporary resident and later with a Bulgarian citizenship you become a normally moved to Europe man. And most important you are not a refugee. A
refugee gives the same amount of money, but on human trafficking, so if you don’t feel like adventure, try this way. My
father tried once and got his 12 years in prison. Nowadayswhat
you can get with at the utmostis to be sent back to Turkey. At least these are my associations of Li Jinghu work. As you already know, I am inherently burdened.
My colleague Li Jinghu has alsohad issues with ancestral memory, but fromGuangdong Province in
South China. Li Jinghu was born in Dongguan, Guangdong Province in 1972. He
graduated from the Fine Arts Department in South China Normal University,
Guangzhou. Li currently lives and works in Dongguan, China.
Li Jinghu’s work Escape (My Family History) is poetically-charged, his minimalist approach
is chiefly influenced by his personal experience of living and working in the
city of Dongguan – an area that has become a major manufacturing hub in the
Pearl River Delta. Using materials ‘Made in China’ to reflect on China’s
contemporary socio-political, economic and cultural reality, Li’s work is
characterized by its simple and restrained formal presentation, and celebrated
for its powerful impact and emotional depth.
This sculptural work presented by Cass Sculpture
Foundation, won’t be interpreted as art
in our country. Under some proviso he might get some funds for the materials,
but to get it without
investment they would rather pick as a
sponsor the networks and lamps provider, and the sponsor would get something arranged still for no money for compensation, and moreover they would thus stick to a scheme. At the same time Cass sell this work of unequivocal impact and it has undeniable contribution to the plastic
and emotional language of contemporary sculpture and art.
I suggest we
take an artist refugee from Asia and send back
instead of him a Bulgarian clerk of
Asian thinking with a slight violation of the Dublin regulation.
We will pay whom we should.
At the moment Cristie’s presents a selection of
seventeen magnificent large-scale sculptures in partnership with Cass Sculpture
Foundation. Cass was founded in 1992 by Wilfred and Jeannette Cass, who are
still active founders and trustees.Although Cass operates as a selling
platform, all of the proceeds made go directly into supporting artists and new
commissions.
Over the past 23 years, CASS has worked with some of the
most influential sculptural artists in the world. Including: Anthony Caro,
Thomas Heatherwick, Eduardo Paolozzi, Laure Prouvost, Mark Quinn, Eva
Rothschild, and many others.
A commission by CASS has become a
highly regarded achievement, and as such, each commission acts as a catalyst at
a pivotal moment in the young artists career. CASS creates the opportunity to
engage with an emerging artist at the most exciting time in his or her
development.
Every acquisition contributes to
CASS’s on-going mission: to support and enable creativity in the arts. As a not-for-profit organisation, the
proceeds from all sales are invested directly back into artists and new
commissions.
The curatorial team can offer
expert advice on the selection and placement of works.
The Top Ten contemporary sculptures& Donald Trump's Greenwich villa.
Maurizio Cattelan, (21 September 1960, Padova, Italy) with his work Him,
(2001) sold by Christie's for $ 17,189,000 has proved that a contemporary artist can sell the at price of the
great masters of the past century. His idea presents Hitler kneeling and praying as a seven-year-old
boy and is strangely called sculpture. I told you that for something to be art, it should be in a gallery. Otherwise it is like anything else,
sometimes clever and essential for life, and sometimes a simple whim. But
when it yearns money it is a project. Christie’s do not play games.
With this price Maurizio Cattelan beat out the dominant in sales volume
Jeff Koons, who in turn between summer 2015 and 2016, with the sale of
116 works turned more than 58.5 million dollars at auction, which is more than
the annual turnover of contemporary art in France.
Jeff Koons,
the most expensive living artist in the world! Since the beginning of contemporary art market statistics 10 years
ago, only Jeff Koons was able to beat American street art legend Jean-Michel
Basquiat in the annual rankings of contemporary art. With one exception (the
sale of a painting by Peter Doig in 2009), the annual contemporary art statistics (for artists born
after 1945) are held by Koons or Basquiat, year after year. A sculpture by
Koons even beats the best selling Basquiat.
The rest in the
top ten of sales are - fourth in the ranking is the work Untitled
(LA) (1991) of Felix GONZALEZ-TORRES costs $ 7,669,000,
followed by several sales again by Jeff Koons, eighth is Richard PRINCE, priced at $
2,741,000, for Anyone Can Find Me,
(1989-1990) and finally tenth Robert GOBER, with $ 2,285,000 for Untitled, all sold at
Christie's New York.
The painterbeyond doubt among these artists is AI Weiwei, with two million five
hundred and seventeen thousand dollars and it is right in the ninth place according to the achieved price - but it certainly is achieved with Christie’s. (AI Weiwei
$ 2517000 Map of China (2009) 2016-05-11 Christie's New York).
And I with my Artestate, I am hanging at
one million dollars for the sixth month without a client if I got
higher than Christie’s. This is the situation, I did not
finish my project. And you can easily see the
necessity of that by looking at Trump‘s villa. Pool,
park ... but no art except here and there for decoration. If we do not mention the small theater hall,
that is
not Artestate home, and in this case
is clearly not up to money the need of art to be part of the home. I know
that sounds presumptuous. There is no luxury without
no culture.Culture forms
values which they want to accumulate in safe vaults. But let’s not forget
that in the house of Hemingway’s
father the toilet wasset in the yard.
Established back in 1972, temporary sculpture exhibitions on Park Avenue
in New York are a unique opportunity to meet with contemporary
artists and works of
art. The exhibitions are organized and presented by two partnering
organisations- Sculpture
Committee of the Fund for Sculpture and Program Parks & Recreation of the City of New York. Exhibitions
are organised under the auspices
of the two organizations, in collaboration with selected artists, their
galleries and / or other organizations related to Arts. Exhibitions usually
last 2-4 months. Sculpture works can be installed in malls or entrances at both ends of
each mall, and depending on seasonal plants and the specific works, exhibiting
the sculpture can
also be allowed within the flower beds, with the approval of the Fund for Park Avenue. Please take
into consideration that viewers are not encouraged to visit the malls but sculptures can be
seen from the street, from footpaths and
pavements, so artists have to accept this point of view and should
take it into account
when planning the placement of their work. Installations may be offered to the
malls north of Grand Central, from 46th Street to 96th Street; however, most
projects are organized between 50th and 57th streets, as these sites are
commercial, not residential and are in a green park. There are concrete pots
(which can be moved in some cases) and hedges, ornamental trees, among which
are placed the ventilation holes on the subway.
These works are among the large flow of tourists and shoppers, and
of course they are for sale. Prices vary according to the author and the gallery presenting
him, but for
a hundred thousand
dollars you can buy a decent work of a famous artist. Expositions
are usually organized by galleries
and foundations, but individual artists could also exhibit, by applying for the 10 000-dollar prize in
the name of a longtime curator of
this art zone. In 2012 forty years of these exhibitions were
celebrated on Park Avenue.
Our Christo uses this well-oiled machine to present his work in Central Park,
which gave him the opportunity to take for a ride Mayor Rudy Giuliani with
his Maybach.
In recent years some famous authors have
been presented, such as -

"Looking Up", a 33.3-foot-tall stainless steel sculpture could be seen on Park
Avenue and East 53rd Street, New York from
January to September 2016. Park Avenue and East 53rd
Street, New York. Luhring Augustine, New
York; Stephen Friedman Gallery, London; NYC Parks; and the Fund for Park Avenue
are pleased to present the sculpture.
Night Presence IV of Louise Nevelson is the only permanently installed work on Park Avenue (at 93rd
Street). The Citywide Monuments Conservation Program recently
restored this iconic sculpture.
Sculpture Advisory Committee’s Chairman is Charles Bergman, and among its members are the iconic
Linda Blumberg, Samuel Sachs II, Richard Oldenburg, Ronald Spencer, Esq.
Park Avenue was not always the prestigious address that it is
today. In fact, trains ran up and down the avenue at street level prior to
1900. The conversion from steam to electric train power ultimately made it
possible for the tracks to be moved underground and wide center medians (now
referred to as the malls) were created above them. Over the years, the width of
the malls was reduced in order to accommodate more traffic lanes.
Early photographs show fencing, grass and simple plantings. In the
1950s, Mrs. Albert D. Lasker, an early advocate of what
we call urban beautification, began planting
begonias, tulips and flowering trees on some of the malls to demonstrate to the
City that plants could survive amidst all the traffic and pollution. She later
convinced the Parks Department to take responsibility for their on-going
planting and maintenance.
In 1970, the Parks Department hired landscape architect, Clara Coffey,
to redesign the malls. She removed the fences and tall hedges, supplemented
existing trees and created planting beds at the end of each mall.
By 1980, the malls had fallen into disrepair. The city was no longer
able to continue their maintenance without support from the community. Ronald
D. Spencer, then the President of Carnegie Hill Neighbors, conceived of an
arrangement between the Park Avenue buildings north of 86th Street, whereby
they would each contribute a set amount, based upon the number of shareholders,
to pay for the annual planting and maintenance of the malls.
