Made of pressed car body parts, the "Tower of Klytie" was erected by John Chamberlain at Quartier-205 in the famous Friedrichstrasse.
This is a piece by the artist John Chamberlain and I thought it was hilarious to view the title and then see these two close by to it representing a divide in the generations.
I went to see the film Anselm by Wim Wenders this past weekend and, though I can't recall ever seeing any of his works in person, it renewed my love for the art world. Going to art galleries is one of my favorite things and these little human coincidences are quite delightful. I would definitely recommend Anselm and also, The Music Box Theater in Chicago showed it in 3D which was fascinating to me. I have only seen action/adventure/special effects types of films in 3D but seeing art and nature like this really helped provide an immersive experience.

While I prefer homemade Kombucha this actually isn't that bad to drink. About a third of the caffeine as a cup of coffee, zero calories and no sugar; this happened to be mango, passion fruit flavored. All that's nice but I liked the "WOW" on the pull tab! While it may be garbage it does look pretty cool, like John Chamberlain's sculptures that I've seen in the DIA:Beacon, New York art gallery made from crushed cars. I did have to hammer it down a bit to make sure it fit within the 3 inch rule and it just makes it.
A simple setup of the can, a black background, sunlight and white screens on the sides.

The installation of John Chamberlain's 23 sculptures in painted and chromium-plated steel is located in the former Marfa Wool and Mohair Building in the center of Marfa. The building was architecturally adapted by Donald Judd and installed by Chamberlain and Judd. Eight of the exhibited works (Falfurrias through Glasscock-Notrees and Panna Normanna) are from a group of ten sculptures constructed on a ranch near Amarillo, Texas, between 1972 and 1975 and are loosely named after towns and counties throughout the state. The works were purchased by the Dia Art Foundation and given to the Chinati Foundation in 1986.

American artist, John Chamberlain's 2000 sculpture, Lipstick Canteen was on display from June 19 to September 9, 2007.
Born in 1929, the American artist John Chamberlain studied at the school of the Chicago Institute of Art, where an exhibition of the Chester Dale collection showingsome of Van Goghs most beautiful paintings made a deep impression on him. In1955, he left Chicago to go to the Black Mountain College, an important incubator forpost-war American art. During these formative years, Chamberlain was greatly influenced by Abstract Expressionism which had won recognition for Americanpainting at that time, with figures like Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning and FranzKline, as well as the work of sculptor David Smith, who used everyday materials forhis sculptures. Since then, directing his artistic aims towards an intimate and powerful relationship between movement and artwork, John Chamberlain has been creatingabstract sculptures using salvaged materials, mainly car body parts and scrap metalwhich he assembles, compresses, welds, paints This creative principle leaves beauty to chance and improvisation, the artist judging the effect and composition asthe piece is assembled, resulting in an unusual and expressive work. Following the invitation from the Musée dOrsay and renewing his early interest in Van Gogh,Chamberlain chose Doctor Gachets Garden, with its exuberant vegetation, andconfronts it with Lipstick Canteen, with its coloured metal leaves extending intospace.
So, when I think of the Musée dOrsay you could say that Ive gone full circle,and come back to where I began. It was Van Gogh who got me started in a way, andhere I am, fifty years later, coming back to visit him with my sculpture LipstickCanteen (conversation with Ann Hindry, April 2007)
The Musée d'Orsay (The Orsay Museum), housed in the former railway station, the Gare d'Orsay, holds mainly French art dating from 1848 to 1914, including paintings, sculptures, furniture, and photography, and is probably best known for its extensive collection of impressionist masterpieces by popular painters such as Monet and Renoir. Many of these works were held at the Galerie nationale du Jeu de Paume prior to the museum's opening in 1986.
