Damien Hirst's collection in Moscow

[Vladimir]

Theoretically Collector Hirst exhibition could easily do without the work of Hirst artist. But to everyone's delight , it just starts them . Visitors are greeted by four giant paintings representing several major themes - dot paintings, spin- heart from the collection of the gallery owner Gary Tatintsian collage with butterflies of the family gatherings Tetruashvili (also through Gary Tatintsian Gallery) and effective spin Svetlana Maric ( auction house Phillips). The latter , as the name implies , is devoted specifically to his owner .

Generally good artists - it is often people with a phenomenal ego . Therefore, when the artist buys works of other artists , this particular choice , combining high score and passed through a specific criterial themselves . In the collection of Hearst as a dominant theme in the works of beauty and death. Stuffed , unbuttoned painting , philosophy and, of course , symbols of wisdom and frailty - the skull. They dedicate an entire room, and this is perhaps the most dramatic part of the collection. According to the structure assembly can be said that it is not formed under the names of , and under the idea. There are things cheap , but effective , which were bought with courage , even more drunk . And there are those that even such apparently hit the wealthy can afford. Picasso His skull was most likely purchased in German auction in 2004 for 760 thousand euro + commission. How much he paid for one of his Bacon I do not know , but in 2002 this series of Bacon (Man in Blue) was worth more than a million euros, and is now worth more than five million . There he and skins pandolinov and reconstruction extinct dodo , and Sarah Lucas ( classmate ) , and Gary Hume , and Takashi Murakami and Banksy (with whom he is friends ) and Giacometti idol Warhol - in a word , look no reconsider .

The only thing I did not do nothing before the show - zablagovremenenno not read an interview Hirst, curator of this exhibition ( link here in the lower right corner : http://mamm-mdf.ru/exhibitions/freedom-not-genius/). I used to know a few things would have looked more closely.

Kunz certainly very mood lifts

All beside him happy as children

You can not say about the room with skulls - even the atmosphere there is some sort of sinister

Exhibition loved . The collection is very personal, powerful and symbolic , which extends the scope of perception hudozhnika.Dazhe recognized the work that would be as casual work in the context of a single potentsiala.Zloveschego not seen - it was perceived by the scientific curious to research deeply. Even exhibition skulls balanced subtly different states of the object. I think today is the best exhibition of contemporary art in Russia. Even well-known collectors exhibition at the Pushkin interest to Hearst fall short. Advise her to see , because works presented there must see live deeply and without boilerplate rejection incomprehensible and alien , which sits at the top floor of many traditsionnikah.Na works still show good sculptor Igor Shelkovsky which is built quite thin, but this is different .

About as interesting to watch many years ago an exhibition of the Gagosian Gallery in Moscow.
