Andy Warhol and Members of the Factory

by RICHARD AVEDON(304.8 x 952.5cm)

In 1969 Richard Avedon began using an eight-by-ten inch view camera.
The same year he photographed
Andy Warhol and Members of the Factory.

In this photograph, gender is blurred and Joe Dallesandro
appears twice - on the far left without clothed and again far right
- implying a passage of time as he moves through the image.

Who is the artist?

The Dictator


Do you you have any idea that who painted this picture of Kim Jong Il, the dictator of North Korea?

That is so striking to me.

POSTPUNKPAGANPOP

South African Enfan Terrible, Kendell Geers

Profanation (2008 White Neon)

Now showing in Zurich 'POSTPUNKPAGANPOP'
experiments of ancient
mythology and tradition.
“I am a white African living in a moment when people armed
with razor blades can crash into
the world’s most powerful buildings,
a time when 15-million people in South Africa have AIDS,
a time when the United States can declare war on Iraq for
no reason other than fulfilling its own desire, ...
I live in an age of digital reproduction
where truth no longer exists in an image, where every image
can be altered and changed and anybody can be erased
from or inserted into history.” Kendell Geers

obscenity, irreverence and
