Berlin Art Week

 

 

I had a quick stroll through the Kaufhaus Jandorf on the other side of my street today. It was the last day of this year's Berlin Art Week and the venue Positions inside the beautiful old department store showed 52 different exhibitors/galleries from eight different countries and their represented artists. I liked the series "Unbeschwerte Tage" from Max Kersting the most, it's really funny. And there was some pretty interesting other contemporary art to be seen, too.

 

 

Happy art peeping!

Documentary - Art Basel Special

 

Ha, tonight I'm quickly posting a set of images from Art Basel today. It's a huge art show, actually one of the biggest in the world and it's very popular and there's thousands of artworks to see, from super famous like Andy Warhol or Damien Hirst, Picasso or Miro to new young artists. My focus is on contemporay art as I love it the most, it's quite often political. This time my favorites were the one by Jani Leinonen "One day the poor will have nothing left to eat but the rich" or Thomas Hirschhorn's "Four Men", which is actually quite shocking as Hirschhorn shows war photographs of dead lacerated bodies or heads, we've seen a huge installation in the Swiss pavillion at 54th Biennale in Venice two years ago. So here's some of the artworks from today ...
