This is the Seattle Tulip by Tom Wesselman. It was installed in 1989 at the corner of 3rd Avenue and Madison Street in front of the Wells Fargo building.
Born on February 23, 1931, in Cleveland, Ohio, cartoonist and collagist Tom Wesselmann eventually moved to New York City to become one of the founding figures of the Pop Art movement, making waves with his "Great American Nude" series. He later became well known for his huge canvas paintings of household objects as well as his printmaking and abstract work. He died on December 17, 2004.
I recently went to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. I finished my visit with French artist Céleste Boursier-Mougenot’s living and ephemeral work entitled “From here to ear”. You may have seen it elsewhere in the world, this is version number 19. It is however, billed as the largest one and is specific to the space of the Museum’s Contemporary Art Square.
To describe it shortly, the space is transformed into a busy aviary for birds. They perch on guitars laying horizontally on stands throughout the room. There are walkways for the visitors. The sounds the birds produce by moving around the strings are processed and slightly delayed to create something like ambient music.
This exhibition is well publicized. There is a full explanation by the artist on video on the MBAM’s web and loads of photos on the Web. I’m kind of jealous of the people who fumble on this installation without any preliminary explanations and no pre-conceptions. Too much information dulls the impact. Once you have verified how the concept works, the main interest actually lies in the birds themselves.
They are zebra finches, a species originating from Australia.
There was however one bird I couldn’t identify. As I walked in the space I noticed a woman seated on the ground with a friend. They were both soaking up this environment. I would say they were observing the people’s reactions as much as the birds.
At first, I thought one of the birds had quietly landed on the lady’s head. I approached them and we spoke briefly. I learned her name is Andrea and he is named Adam. Andrea had a very special coiffure. Her hair was arranged in the shape of a nest held together with the tip of a branch from a Christmas tree and some bit of cedar. The bird was a decoration.
They agreed to have their portraits taken. I let them enjoy the installation and waited until they were done before I took a few shots.
Andrea is from Montreal and has studied architecture and urban design. From what I understand, a lot her work concerns public spaces and how humans interact and is often of temporary or conceptual nature. She is something like an urbanist / social activist and had recently came back from abroad where she had work on collective projects. Montreal is her home, laboratory and playground.
She told me that in 2014 she participated to a temporary installation aimed at giving Christmas trees a second life.
I was a bit ruffled that photography was prohibited in the Contemporary Art Space but it may have been a saving grace. I would have likely tried to get the guitars, the birds and the visitors in Andrea’s portrait to give the context. Instead, since we had to go to another room, you get a portrait of an elegant woman with only a blurry trace of Tom Wesselman’s “Quick sketch from a train (Italy) No. 2” to give away the location.
Her Friend, Adam, is a visual artist. His portrait will follow Andrea’s.

Je suis récemment allé au Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal. J’y ai terminé ma visite au Carré d’art contemporain pour voir l’œuvre de l’artiste français Céleste Boursier-Mougenot. Il s’agit d’une installation vivante et éphémère intitulée «From here to ear". Vous l’avez peut-être vu ailleurs dans le monde. C’est la dix-neuvième version de ce projet. Elle est toutefois présentée comme la plus grande et est spécifique à la salle du Carré d’art contemporain du Musée.
Pour décrire le tout brièvement, l'espace est transformé en volière occupé pour les oiseaux. Ils se perchent sur des guitares posées horizontalement sur des stands répartis dans la pièce. Des allées sont tracées pour les visiteurs. Les sons que les oiseaux produisent en se déplaçant sur les cordes sont traités et légèrement déphasés pour générer une musique ambiante.
Cette exposition a reçu une bonne publicité. Il y a une explication complète de l'artiste en vidéo sur le web du MBAM et beaucoup de photos en ligne. Je suis un peu jaloux des gens qui tombent sur cette installation sans explications préliminaires et aucunes préconceptions. Trop d'information en émousse l'impact. Une fois que vous avez vérifié comment le concept fonctionne, le principal intérêt réside en fait dans les oiseaux eux-mêmes.
Ce sont des diamants mandarins, une espèce de pinsons originaires d'Australie.
Il y avait cependant un oiseau que je ne pouvais pas identifier. Au moment où je suis entré dans cet espace, j’ai remarquai une femme assise sur le sol avec un ami. Ils semblaient tous deux absorber cet environnement. Je dirais qu'ils observaient les réactions des personnes autant que les oiseaux.
Au début, je pensais que l'un des oiseaux avait discrètement atterri sur la tête de la dame. Je les ai abordés et nous avons parlé brièvement. J’ai appris que son nom est Andrea et que lui se nomme Adam. Andrea avait une coiffure très spéciale. Une partie de ses cheveux épousaient la forme d'un nid tenu en place avec l'extrémité d'une branche d'un arbre de Noël et un peu de celle d’un cèdre. L'oiseau était une décoration.
Ils ont accepté que je prenne des photos d’eux. Je les ai cependant laissés profiter de l'installation et attendus jusqu'à ce qu'ils aient terminé leur visite avant de faire leurs portraits.
Andrea est originaire de Montréal et a étudié l'architecture et le design urbain. De ce que je comprends, une bonne partie de sa pratique concerne les espaces publics et la façon dont les humains interagissent et est souvent de nature temporaire ou conceptuelle. Je pourrais la décrire comme une urbaniste et militante sociale. Andréa était avait récemment revenue de l'étranger où elle avait participé à des projets collectifs. Montréal est son chez soi, son laboratoire et son terrain de jeux.
Elle m'a dit qu'en 2014 elle a contribué à réaliser une installation temporaire visant à donner aux arbres de Noël une seconde vie.
J’étais un peu dépité que la photographie soit interdite dans le Carré d’art contemporain. C’était cependant un mal pour un bien. J’aurais probablement essayé d’incorporer les guitares, les oiseaux et les visiteurs dans le portrait d'Andrea pour en indiquer le contexte. Au lieu de cela, puisque nous avons dû aller dans une autre pièce, vous obtenez un portrait d'une femme élégante avec seulement une trace floue de l’œuvre de Tom Wesselmann "Esquisse rapide d'un train (Italie) N ° 2" en arrière-plan pour trahir le lieu.
Son ami, Adam, est un artiste visuel.
Son portrait suivra celui d'Andrea.

American painter Tom Wesselmann (1931 – 2004) is regarded as one of the founding members of American Pop Art. Alongside his contemporaries Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and James Rosenquist, Wessellmann produced artworks using imagery seen in everyday popular culture.
He is famous for his “Great American Nude” series beginning in the 1960s, which played on the “corruption of Eros by a consumer society.” This series feature female figures in highly suggestive forms and painted in very patriotic primary colors in red, white, yellow and blue.
In the 1970s, Wesselmann’s work became increasingly sculptural and started working with constructions and assemblages, but in his final years, Wesselmann returned to the female form in the “Sunset Nudes” series (pictured) with very simple lines and forms. The artist acknowledge the influence of Mondrian by choosing titles that recall the earlier painter’s works, and is he seen with his own still life painting, but painted in a style which bears influence from Henri Matisse.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Von dir kommt jede Freude
1.) Von dir kommt jede Freude,
Von dir kommt jeder Erdenschmerz!
Du segnest uns durch beide,
Denn beide bilden Geist und Herz.
Das Frohe soll uns spornen,
Des Guten Weg zu gehn.
Der Pfad durch raue Dornen
Soll Mut und Kraft erhöhn.
So stärkest du durch Freuden
In uns den frommen Sinn,
Und führst durch Erdenleiden
Zu Himmelswonnen hin.
2.) Das präge unsern Herzen
Mit jedem Tage tiefer ein,
So wird der Tag der Schmerzen
Uns auch ein Tag des Segens sein.
Damit wir sanfter weinen,
Wenn uns ein Kummer trübt,
Lass uns den Trost erscheinen,
Den uns der Glaube gibt.
Dass auch dem bittern Kelche,
Vor dem die Lippe bebt,
Die Kraft entströme, welche
Zur höchsten Würde hebt.
3.) Mit diesem Troste werde
Das müde, wunde Herz erquickt,
So oft die Last der Erde
Uns Schwache schwer und schwerer drückt.
Lass alle Dulder lernen,
Dass du ihr Heil bedenkst
Und, gleich des Himmels Sternen,
Des Menschen Schicksals lenkst.
Dass nach der Jahre Fliehen
Du für des Lebens Last,
Für alle Erdenmühen
Ersatz bereitest hast.
4.) So wollen wir dir danken,
Der es so treulich mit uns meint.
Und nicht vom Guten wanken,
Wenn eine böse Stund' erscheint.
Denn Böses kommt und Gutes
Aus e i n e r Vaterhand.
Drum sind wir frohen Mutes,
Den Blick zu dir gewandt,
Der jede Träne zählet,
Die unserm Aug' entrann.
Der stets das Beste wählet
Und nichts, als segnen kann!

Jacob Peter Ludwig Wesselmann (* 9. Oktober 1778, † 1. März 1832), war evangelisch-lutherischer Pfarrer in Hamburg und geistlicher Lieddichter. Darüber hinaus ist von ihm lediglich bekannt, dass er als Pfarrer in Hamburger Gefängnissen gewirkt hat. Er verfasste eine kleine 1808 gedruckte Schrift mit dem Titel 'Beiträge zur würdigen Feier des Abendmahls Jesu in christlichen Familien' sowie 1814 eine Sammlung von 'Predigten, in Beziehung auf die neuesten Weltbegebenheiten, mit besondrer Rücksicht auf Hamburg', die beide im Eigenverlag erschienen sind. Erstgenannter Schrift waren die sieben von ihm verfassten geistlichen Lieder beigegeben, die einen größeren regionalen Bekanntheitsgrad erlangten, weil der Pfarrer und Hymnologe Nikolaus Joachim Guilliam Evers (1766-1837) diese in seine Sammlung geistlicher Lieder aufnahm, welche 1817 in Hamburg erschienen ist.

Tom Wesselmann American, 1931-2004
Great American Nude #75, 1965
Illuminated painted molded plastic
In the early 1960s, Wesselmann inaugurated his long-running series of Great American Nudes, which place the suggestive lips and pert nipples of languidly posed women alongside American-flag motifs. In 1964, he began experimenting with vacuum-formed plastic works; he was particularly inspired by what he called “the beautiful intensity of gas station signs,” with their bas-relief surfaces—rising slightly from the picture plane—lit from within.
Wesselmann’s nudes were included in the group show Electric Art and in his first European solo exhibition, both at Gelerie Ileana Sonnabend in 1966. Sonnabend was delighted by his “new plastics” and reported that “everybody who saw them was very excited about them.” Soon she began to circulate Wesselmann’s work around Europe; a show in Italy that included some of his nudes prompted Sonnabend to send him a reassuring note: “Don’t worry, the censors haven’t been around—it’s too hot in Venice.”
