Exposition
Du 14/06/2017 au 10/09/2017
À l’été 2017, le Palais de Tokyo invite, avec Dioramas, à découvrir une source d’inspiration inattendue des artistes contemporains : le diorama. L’exposition déconstruit de manière inédite l’histoire du regard, au croisement de l’histoire, de l’histoire de l’art, du cinéma, du monde de la scène, des arts populaires et forains et de l’histoire des sciences et techniques.
Balzac qualifiait le diorama de « merveille du siècle »(1) : son invention au XIXème siècle a constitué une révolution optique, un moment clé de l’histoire du spectaculaire dans l’héritage des lanternes magiques du XVIIème siècle.
Du diorama de Daguerre consistant en une peinture de grande dimension soumise à de savants jeux d’éclairage, au célèbre diorama historique ou naturaliste connu des musées d’Histoire naturelle, formé d’une vitre, d’une toile de fond et d’éléments tridimensionnels, le diorama incarne le règne de la mise en scène et de l’illusion. En donnant, selon la forme inventée par Daguerre, l’impression du mouvement par des effets de lumière, il figure pour la première fois le passage du temps, et anticipe l’invention du cinéma. En offrant, dans sa seconde acception, la reconstitution d’une situation qui ne peut être vue pour des raisons spatiales ou temporelles, il donne naissance à une réalité virtuelle, et invite à croire, un instant, à l’authenticité de l’artifice.
S’il met en scène notre connaissance du monde, le diorama - dont l’étymologie signifie « voir à travers » - sert ainsi également de support de projection à l’imaginaire, et trouve notamment son origine dans le monde du théâtre.
Dans le sillage de l’exposition Le Bord des mondes (2015), le Palais de Tokyo poursuit ici son exploration des multiples territoires de l’art avec une constante ouverture à l’égard des différents champs de savoir. Ainsi, au-delà de l’histoire du diorama et de son influence sur des artistes majeurs du XXème et du XXIème siècle, l’exposition Dioramas invite à plonger dans les mécanismes cachés de ce dispositif. En démantelant ses stratégies d’illusionnisme, elle offre la possibilité d’élaborer une approche critique du pouvoir de représentation, et ouvre à des problématiques actuelles telles que la conscience écologique et l’héritage visuel du colonialisme.

“THE VISIBLE VAGINA”
FRANCIS M. NAUMANN FINE ART
and DAVID NOLAN GALLERY
January 28 – March 20, 2010
Wednesday, January 27, 2010, 6-8 pm at Francis M. Naumann Fine Art
Thursday, January 28, 2010, 6-8 pm at David Nolan Gallery
THE VISIBLE VAGINA is an exhibition jointly organized by Francis M. Naumann and David Nolan. It is scheduled to open at Francis M. Naumann Fine Art (24 West 57th Street) and at David Nolan Gallery (527 West 29th Street) on January 28, 2010. Both shows will run concurrently, ending on March 20, 2010.
As the title of the exhibition suggests, the show is designed to make visible a portion of the female anatomy that is generally considered taboo―too private and intimate for public display. If shown at all, this part of a woman’s body is usually presented in an abject fashion, generally within the context of pornography, intended, in almost all cases, for the exclusive pleasure of men. The goal of this exhibition is to remove these prurient connotations, implicit even in works of art, ever since the pudendum was prudishly covered by a fig leaf. This gesture of false modesty, it should be noted, was devised and enforced entirely by men (not only in the case of classical sculpture, but also in the Bible, in which, immediately after their disobedience in the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve cover their genitalia with fig leaves). Indeed, until recently, virtually all depictions of the frontal nude female figure were made by men, but as this exhibition will demonstrate, that has changed dramatically in recent years.
The catalogue for THE VISIBLE VAGINA will trace this motif in art history from prehistoric to modern times. It includes an introduction by the exhibition organizers, as well as a highly informative and provocative essay by Anna C. Chave, Professor of Contemporary Art and Theory at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. Inspiration for both the show and its catalogue came from Eve Ensler’s The Vagina Monologues, a stage play that premiered off-Broadway in 1996, and was followed by various productions throughout the world (it appeared as a book in 1998). Ensler gave voice to countless women worldwide, honoring the complexity and mystery of their sexuality, basically encouraging them to consider their vaginas as powerful and expressive components of their physical selves, something not to be ashamed of, but to be proudly protected as an assertive and positive manifestation of their being. The idea for this show came from realizing that there was no better group to give vision to this goal than artists, many of whom had already incorporated imagery of the vagina in their works. Because of Ensler’s pioneering work in this field, the catalogue is dedicated to her, and proceeds from its sale shall be donated to V-Day, the organization she founded to end violence against women and girls throughout the world.
The following is a list of the artists whose work will be included in the exhibition (as well as a number whose work is only reproduced in the catalogue): Magdalena Abakanowicz, Ghada Amer, Beth B, Judie Bamber, Tracey Baran, Nancy Becker, Hans Bellmer, Mike Bidlo, Louise Bourgeois, Robert Brinker, Judy Chicago, Carol Cole, Maureen Connor, Gustave Courbet, Tee Corinne, John Currin, Sarah Davis, James Dee, Jay Defeo, Jim Dine, Leo Dohman, Marcel Duchamp, Carroll Dunham, Tracy Emin, India Evans, John Evans, Valie Export, Robert Forman, Neil Gall, Kathleen Gilje, Guerrilla Girls, Nancy Grossman, Barbara Hammer, Jane Hammond, Mona Hatoum, Stanley William Hayter, Sandra Vásquez de la Horra, David Humphrey, Paul Joostens, Pamela Joseph, Mel Kendrick, Elisabeth Kley, Jeff Koons, Mark Kostabi, Shigeko Kubota, Zoe Leonard, Sherrie Levine, Lee Lozano, Henri Maccheroni, Chema Madoz, Réné Magritte, Gerard Malanga, Man Ray, Robert Mapplethorpe, Marcel Mariën, André Masson, Sophie Matisse, Ana Mendieta, Allyson Mitchell, Cathy de Monchaux, Vik Muniz, Wangechi Mutu, Gladys Nilsson, Yoko Ono, Pablo Picasso, Chloe Piene, Richard Prince, Daniel Ranalli, Oona Ratcliffe, Niki de Saint-Phalle, Katia Santibanez, Peter Saul, Naomi Savage, Egon Schiele, Carolee Schneemann, Mira Schor, Michelle Segre, Tom Shannon, Cindy Sherman, James Siena, Laurie Simmons, Kiki Smith, Julie Speed, Nancy Spero, Betty Tompkins, Kiyoshi Tsuchiya, John Tweddle, Tabitha Vevers, Douglas Vogel, Robert Watts, Hannah Wilke, Terry Winters, Beatrice Wood.

Vision latérale de l'œuvre montrant que l'artiste a superposé des peintures en forme de grands panneaux publicitaires placés les uns devant les autres. Cet assemblage implique que cette œuvre ne peut être vue que de face, c'est une forme 3D des natures mortes peintes par l'artiste.

Poussé à son maximum, l'agrandissement opéré par Wesselmann dans ses "Standing Still Lifes" place le spectateur dans une situation d'acteur face à un décor d'objets, une réalité impossible... (extrait du cartel)
Cette exagération de la taille des objets qui les transforment en leurres, est à l'image de la convoitise qu'ils suscitent dans la société de consommation, célébrée par les artistes du pop-art, mais dont Tom Wesselmann ne souhaitait pourtant pas faire partie. C'est le paradoxe de cette exposition de grande ampleur qui est consacrée à un artiste américain que certains critiques d'art français estiment de deuxième ordre, la visite de l'exposition leur donne plutôt raison tant les œuvres de l'artiste se ressemblent (en sujets, style, formes et couleurs), sont totalement dépourvues de critique sociale, sont le plus souvent vides de sens et évoquent le mode de vie américain dont on constate aujourd'hui les ravages sur l'environnement. Malgré les efforts des commissaires pour élargir la thématique de l'exposition à des artistes pop plus connus ou contemporains comme à des artistes plus contestataires que Wesselmann et relier les racines du pop-art à Marcel Duchamp, Hannah Höch, Kurt Schwitters ou à certains surréalistes, la conception de l'exposition pose de nombreuses questions mais elle est peut-être aussi destinée à valoriser la côte de Wesselmann au profit de ses collectionneurs.

Exposition
Du 14/06/2017 au 10/09/2017
À l’été 2017, le Palais de Tokyo invite, avec Dioramas, à découvrir une source d’inspiration inattendue des artistes contemporains : le diorama. L’exposition déconstruit de manière inédite l’histoire du regard, au croisement de l’histoire, de l’histoire de l’art, du cinéma, du monde de la scène, des arts populaires et forains et de l’histoire des sciences et techniques.
Balzac qualifiait le diorama de « merveille du siècle »(1) : son invention au XIXème siècle a constitué une révolution optique, un moment clé de l’histoire du spectaculaire dans l’héritage des lanternes magiques du XVIIème siècle.
Du diorama de Daguerre consistant en une peinture de grande dimension soumise à de savants jeux d’éclairage, au célèbre diorama historique ou naturaliste connu des musées d’Histoire naturelle, formé d’une vitre, d’une toile de fond et d’éléments tridimensionnels, le diorama incarne le règne de la mise en scène et de l’illusion. En donnant, selon la forme inventée par Daguerre, l’impression du mouvement par des effets de lumière, il figure pour la première fois le passage du temps, et anticipe l’invention du cinéma. En offrant, dans sa seconde acception, la reconstitution d’une situation qui ne peut être vue pour des raisons spatiales ou temporelles, il donne naissance à une réalité virtuelle, et invite à croire, un instant, à l’authenticité de l’artifice.
S’il met en scène notre connaissance du monde, le diorama - dont l’étymologie signifie « voir à travers » - sert ainsi également de support de projection à l’imaginaire, et trouve notamment son origine dans le monde du théâtre.
Dans le sillage de l’exposition Le Bord des mondes (2015), le Palais de Tokyo poursuit ici son exploration des multiples territoires de l’art avec une constante ouverture à l’égard des différents champs de savoir. Ainsi, au-delà de l’histoire du diorama et de son influence sur des artistes majeurs du XXème et du XXIème siècle, l’exposition Dioramas invite à plonger dans les mécanismes cachés de ce dispositif. En démantelant ses stratégies d’illusionnisme, elle offre la possibilité d’élaborer une approche critique du pouvoir de représentation, et ouvre à des problématiques actuelles telles que la conscience écologique et l’héritage visuel du colonialisme.

DECONSTRUCTING ROY LICHTENSTEIN
BEFORE AND AFTER
JOYCE BALLANTYNE
circa 1940's
ROY LICHTENSTEIN
Woman In Bath 1963
It would seem that Lichtenstein was even less original than many of his existing detractors had thought.
Although Lichtenstein had been using comic book imagery in his paintings since 1957, he did not do large canvases reproducing single comic strip panels featuring speech balloons until he painted Look Mickey in the summer of 1961 - four months after he had, by his own admission, seen Warhol's canvases. Warhol had been painting single comic strip panels featuring speech balloons since 1960 - a year earlier than Lichtenstein. It is possible that Lichtenstein, as Warhol suspected, had seen Warhol's paintings at Bonwit Teller, although Lichtenstein never mentioned it in interviews. In any case, Lichtenstein admitted having seen Warhol's cartoon paintings prior to doing his own single panel comic strip paintings featuring speech balloons (Look Mickey).

Joyce Ballantyne (April 4, 1918 – May 15, 2006) was a painter of pin-up art. She is best known as the designer of the Coppertone girl, whose swimming costume is being pulled down by a dog.
She was born in Norfolk, Nebraska during World War I, and grew up in Omaha. She attended the University of Nebraska for two years and then transferred to the Art Institute of Chicago to study commercial art and the American Academy of Art.
After two years at the Art Institute, Ballantyne joined Kling Studios, where she painted Rand McNally maps and illustrated books for Cameo Press. She then moved to the Stevens-Gross Studio, where she remained for more than a decade. While at the studio, she became part of a group of artists that included Gil Elvgren, Al Moore, and Al Buell.
In 1945 Ballantyne began painting pin-ups for Brown & Bigelow, having been recommended by Gil Elvgren. While there, she designed direct mail pin-up brochures for the company, and was eventually given the honor of creating an Artist's Sketch Pad twelve page calendar. She often used herself as a model.[1] In 1954, Ballantyne painted twelve pin-ups for a calendar published by Shaw-Barton. Upon the calendar's release in 1955, demand was so great that the company reprinted it many times.
Ballantyne then went on to paint one of the most famous advertising images ever, when Coppertone suntan lotion asked her to create a billboard image in 1959. That image, of a pigtailed girl with her bathing suit being tugged down by a small dog, has become an American icon. Her daughter Cheri Brand was used as the model for the girl
Joyce Ballantyne eventually moved into the realm of portraits and fine art, painting the portraits of scores of entertainment and sports personalities as well as luminaries from the business, social, and academic worlds. Subjects included comedian Jonathan Winters, Robert Smalley of Hertz, and Major General John Leonard Hines.
In 1974, Ballantyne moved with her husband to Ocala, Florida where she lived until her death.
Joyce Ballantyne was a noteworthy member of the "girl's club" among pin-up artists - her women were often more natural than the studiously coy poses of her male counterparts.
Joyce Ballantyne was born in Norfolk, Nebraska, just after World War One. She attended Nebraska University for two years, painting murals in her spare time for department stores and movie theatres before leaving to study commercial art. After studying at the Academy of Art in Chicago for two years, she joined Kling Studios, where she painted Rand McNally road maps and illustrated a dictionary for the Cameo Press. She then moved on to the Stevens/Gross studio, where she stayed for more than ten years...
Influenced, as much of the studio was, by Haddon Sundblom, she became part of a group of artists who were extremely close, both professionally and personally, including Gil Elvgren, Earl Gross, Al Moore, Coby Whitmore, Thornton Utz, and Al Buell. She was also to become one of the three best known female pin-artists of the period along with Pearl Frush and Zoë Mozert.
She had first met Elvgren when he was teaching at the Academy of Art and she was a student. After years of working closely together they often shared assignments if one of them became ill or if a schedule was tight. Like her friend Elvgren, she preferred to work in oil on canvas.
Ballantyne's most important pin-ups were the twelve she painted in 1954 for a calendar published by Shaw-Barton. When it was released nationally in 1955, the demand from new advertisers was so great that the company reprinted it many times. Ballantyne then went on to paint one of the most famous advertising images ever. Coppertone suntan lotion asked several illustrators to submit preliminary ideas for a special twenty-four-sheet billboard for their American and international markets. Ballantyne won the commission, and her final painting (based somewhat on an ideal of Art Frahm) became a national icon. Its little pig-tailed girl whose playful dog pulls at her bathing suit charmed the entire nation.
Ballantyne also did much advertising work for other national clients, including Sylvania TV, Dow Chemical, Coca-Cola, and Schlitz Beer. She painted pin-ups for the calendar companies Louis P Dow and Goes and illustrations for such magazines as Esquire and Penthouse.
In 1974, Ballantyne moved with her husband to Ocala, Florida where she lived until her death.

Roy Lichtenstein
Woman in Bath
1963
Oil on canvas. 173.3 x 173.3 cm
Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid
INV. Nr. 648 (1978.92)
Inspired by a romantic comic-strip, Woman in Bath features a basic range of primary colours—blue, yellow and red—applied using Lichtenstein’s characteristic Benday dot technique. The woman’s hands and face, outlined by thick black lines against a white background, stand out from the static geometry of the tiled wall behind her. Lichtenstein was one of the painters who abandoned the language of Abstract Expressionism in the 1960s, giving rise to the Pop Art movement. Here, in his treatment of a subject often addressed in the history of art—in the form of ‘The Bath of Venus’—he succeeds in challenging appearances, replacing the mechanical reproduction of the cartoon by the manual work of the painter.
In the 1960s, Roy Lichtenstein and other American artists of his generation, such as Andy Warhol, Tom Wesselmann and James Rosenquist, reacted against the language of Abstract Expressionism and gave rise to the Pop movement. At a time of economic expansion and prosperity in which major social advances had brought with them a new opulence characteristic of the age, these artists began to turn their gaze to everyday objects, advertisements and other consumer society products to use as subject matter for their works.
Lichtenstein produced his own personal portrait of the new America using a totally new artistic language: the so-called Benday dots process used to print comic strips, which was invented in 1879 by Benjamin Day. By using comic strip images and techniques in his work, the painter succeeded in rebelling against the texture and gesture of his abstract predecessors and exploring the complex connections between art and popular culture. Comic strips, which circulated in thousands of copies of newspapers and magazines, were not intended as works of art but as a means of transmitting synthetically a narrative content that aroused a particular emotion. Although at first sight Lichtenstein’s works appear no more than enlarged comic strips, when they are analysed at length it can be seen how different they are. By isolating these synthetic images, reproducing them by hand and changing their format, he achieved an impression of dispassionate objectivity devoid of any subjective feeling, which enabled him to make a rigorous artistic reflection. Lichtenstein thus strips them of their normal consumption and manages to alter appearances by replacing the mechanical reproduction of the comic strip with the manual work of the painter. Insofar as his works are a pictorial representation of a mechanical printing process, Lichtenstein succeeded in bringing together fine art and commercial design, thereby challenging the foundations on which painting had previously been based by converting a banal image into a work of art.
The Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza Woman in Bath was painted in 1963, most likely inspired by a sequence from a romantic serial. The subject of a bathing woman, a fairly frequent theme in art history in the form of The Toilet of Venus, was commonly depicted by Pop artists. The female figure, her contours delimited by thick lines set against a white background, is painted in an elementary palette of primary colours — blue, yellow and red — applied using the characteristic Benday dots. Gail Levin links this work to another oil painting produced the same year, Drowning Girl. In both compositions Lichtenstein shows the face and hands of a woman in water, but whereas the figure in the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza painting is placidly enjoying a bath and gazes at the viewer with a broad smile, the girl in the other painting, who wears a contorted expression, is drowning in a sea of her own tears. The smiling figure of the former stands out against the static geometry of the background tiled wall, while the image in the painting in The Museum of Modern Art is caught up in a whirlpool of turbulent water which, according to Lichtenstein’s own testimony, is copied from the Japanese artist Hokusai’s engraving of The Great Wave.
The disturbing women in Lichtenstein’s paintings of the mid 1960s are embodiments of modern heroines. He shows them in different poses: sometimes as busy housewives, in a role they accept smilingly in a male-dominated world; on other occasions as characters in dramas of passions, in which they express anxiety, nervousness and fear. By portraying this stereotyped image of women of his day in his art, Lichtenstein merely intended to make a plastic statement about their need to aim for a new ideal: “Women draw themselves this way — that is what makeup really is. They put their lips on in a certain shape and do their hair to resemble a certain ideal”.

Springbok - Still Life #24
500 pieces. 5 pieces missing. 1972.
22-9/16 x 18
29x18 grid = 522 pieces
400PZL4040
Artist: Tom Wesselmann
I had this puzzle as kid. I even remember that it was a Christmas present to me. I assembled it many times, but at some point we got rid of it, probably selling it at a yard sale. For all I know, this could be the actual copy that I had.
I saw it at the thrift store and the memories flooded back. It wasn't until I got it home that I noticed a note scratched onto the cover: "Three pieces missing." Damn! I probably would have bought it anyway because of the sentiment. But then I discovered that since then, two more pieces had escaped. Double damn!
Oh well. It's still a good Springbok puzzle, and one that you don't often find.

"Great American Nude # 35" (1962) by Tom Wesselmann at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.
Du 17 octobre 2024 au 24 février 2025, la Fondation présente « Pop Forever, Tom Wesselmann &… » une exposition consacrée au Pop Art, l’un des mouvements artistiques majeurs des années 1960 dont la présence n’a cessé, jusqu’à aujourd’hui, de s’affirmer sur tous les continents et pour toutes les générations.
L’exposition est centrée autour de Tom Wesselmann (1931-2004), une des figures de proue du mouvement, au travers d’une sélection de 150 peintures et œuvres de divers matériaux. Elle regroupe, en outre, 70 œuvres de 35 artistes de générations et nationalités différentes qui partagent une sensibilité « Pop », allant de ses racines dadaïstes à ses prolongements contemporains, des années 1920 à nos jours.
Exposition
Du 14/06/2017 au 10/09/2017
À l’été 2017, le Palais de Tokyo invite, avec Dioramas, à découvrir une source d’inspiration inattendue des artistes contemporains : le diorama. L’exposition déconstruit de manière inédite l’histoire du regard, au croisement de l’histoire, de l’histoire de l’art, du cinéma, du monde de la scène, des arts populaires et forains et de l’histoire des sciences et techniques.
Balzac qualifiait le diorama de « merveille du siècle »(1) : son invention au XIXème siècle a constitué une révolution optique, un moment clé de l’histoire du spectaculaire dans l’héritage des lanternes magiques du XVIIème siècle.
Du diorama de Daguerre consistant en une peinture de grande dimension soumise à de savants jeux d’éclairage, au célèbre diorama historique ou naturaliste connu des musées d’Histoire naturelle, formé d’une vitre, d’une toile de fond et d’éléments tridimensionnels, le diorama incarne le règne de la mise en scène et de l’illusion. En donnant, selon la forme inventée par Daguerre, l’impression du mouvement par des effets de lumière, il figure pour la première fois le passage du temps, et anticipe l’invention du cinéma. En offrant, dans sa seconde acception, la reconstitution d’une situation qui ne peut être vue pour des raisons spatiales ou temporelles, il donne naissance à une réalité virtuelle, et invite à croire, un instant, à l’authenticité de l’artifice.
S’il met en scène notre connaissance du monde, le diorama - dont l’étymologie signifie « voir à travers » - sert ainsi également de support de projection à l’imaginaire, et trouve notamment son origine dans le monde du théâtre.
Dans le sillage de l’exposition Le Bord des mondes (2015), le Palais de Tokyo poursuit ici son exploration des multiples territoires de l’art avec une constante ouverture à l’égard des différents champs de savoir. Ainsi, au-delà de l’histoire du diorama et de son influence sur des artistes majeurs du XXème et du XXIème siècle, l’exposition Dioramas invite à plonger dans les mécanismes cachés de ce dispositif. En démantelant ses stratégies d’illusionnisme, elle offre la possibilité d’élaborer une approche critique du pouvoir de représentation, et ouvre à des problématiques actuelles telles que la conscience écologique et l’héritage visuel du colonialisme.
Avec : Marcelle Ackein, Carl Akeley, Sammy Baloji, Richard Baquié, Richard Barnes, Erich Böttcher, Jacques Bouisset, Cao Fei, Philippe Chancel, Joseph Cornell, Louis Daguerre, Giovanni D’Enrico, Caterina De Julianis, Mark Dion, Jean Paul Favand, Claude-André Férigoule, Joan Fontcuberta, Diane Fox, Emmanuel Frémiet, Ryan Gander, Isa Genzken, Arno Gisinger, Ignazio Lo Giudice, Robert Gober, Duane Hanson, Edward Hart, Patrick Jacobs, Arthur August Jansson, Anselm Kiefer, Fritz Laube, Pierre Leguillon, William Robinson Leigh, Charles Matton, Mathieu Mercier, Kent Monkman, Armand Morin, Lorenzo Mosca, Dulce Pinzón, Walter Potter, Georges Henri Rivière, G-M Salgé, Gerrit Schouten, Ronan-Jim Sévellec, Pierrick Sorin, Peter Spicer, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Fiona Tan, Jules Terrier, Tatiana Trouvé, Jeff Wall, Rowland Ward, Tom Wesselmann

Poussé à son maximum, l'agrandissement opéré par Wesselmann dans ses "Standing Still Lifes" place le spectateur dans une situation d'acteur face à un décor d'objets, une réalité impossible... (extrait du cartel)
Cette exagération de la taille des objets qui les transforment en leurres, est à l'image de la convoitise qu'ils suscitent dans la société de consommation, célébrée par les artistes du pop-art, mais dont Tom Wesselmann ne souhaitait pourtant pas faire partie. C'est le paradoxe de cette exposition de grande ampleur qui est consacrée à un artiste américain que certains critiques d'art français estiment de deuxième ordre, la visite de l'exposition leur donne plutôt raison tant les œuvres de l'artiste se ressemblent (en sujets, style, formes et couleurs), sont totalement dépourvues de critique sociale, sont le plus souvent vides de sens et évoquent le mode de vie américain dont on constate aujourd'hui les ravages sur l'environnement. Malgré les efforts des commissaires pour élargir la thématique de l'exposition à des artistes pop plus connus ou contemporains comme à des artistes plus contestataires que Wesselmann et relier les racines du pop-art à Marcel Duchamp, Hannah Höch, Kurt Schwitters ou à certains surréalistes, la conception de l'exposition pose de nombreuses questions mais elle est peut-être aussi destinée à valoriser la côte de Wesselmann au profit de ses collectionneurs.

David Buckingham's Travis Bickle III, one of his cut and welded found metal Gun series, was part of a solo exhibit, Dark Side of the Moon at OK Harris in 2008.
OK Harris was founded by Ivan C. Karp in 1969 in the SoHo district of Manhattan. After having been co-director of Leo Castelli Gallery from 1959-1969 during which time he was instrumental in launching the careers of pop artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, Claes Oldenburg, Tom Wesselmann and John Chamberlain, Ivan broke away and decided to launch his own gallery. Its establishment in SoHo as the first gallery on West Broadway helped inspire the development of the area’s fine arts character. In addition to being at the forefront of the Photo Realist movement in 1969, OK Harris was among the first galleries to exhibit the work of Duane Hanson, Deborah Butterfield, Manny Farber, Richard Pettibone, Robert Cottingham, Robert Bechtle, Marilyn Levine, Nancy Rubins, Malcolm Morley, Luis Jiminez, Jake Berthot, Jack Goldstein, Porfirio DiDonna, Al Souza and Arman. OK Harris exhibits contemporary art and photography, and on occasion mounts shows of antiques and collectibles. In it’s capacious facility, it is able to mount five, one - person shows simultaneously and has seven such exhibitions in the course of a year. The gallery maintains a complete photographic archive on its exhibitions from the time of its inception, available to students and scholars for research, without reservation.

The Albertina
The architectural history of the Palais
(Pictures you can see by clicking on the link at the end of page!)
Image: The oldest photographic view of the newly designed Palais Archduke Albrecht, 1869
"It is my will that the expansion of the inner city of Vienna with regard to a suitable connection of the same with the suburbs as soon as possible is tackled and at this on Regulirung (regulation) and beautifying of my Residence and Imperial Capital is taken into account. To this end I grant the withdrawal of the ramparts and fortifications of the inner city and the trenches around the same".
This decree of Emperor Franz Joseph I, published on 25 December 1857 in the Wiener Zeitung, formed the basis for the largest the surface concerning and architecturally most significant transformation of the Viennese cityscape. Involving several renowned domestic and foreign architects a "master plan" took form, which included the construction of a boulevard instead of the ramparts between the inner city and its radially upstream suburbs. In the 50-years during implementation phase, an impressive architectural ensemble developed, consisting of imperial and private representational buildings, public administration and cultural buildings, churches and barracks, marking the era under the term "ring-street style". Already in the first year tithe decided a senior member of the Austrian imperial family to decorate the facades of his palace according to the new design principles, and thus certified the aristocratic claim that this also "historicism" said style on the part of the imperial house was attributed.
Image: The Old Albertina after 1920
It was the palace of Archduke Albrecht (1817-1895), the Senior of the Habsburg Family Council, who as Field Marshal held the overall command over the Austro-Hungarian army. The building was incorporated into the imperial residence of the Hofburg complex, forming the south-west corner and extending eleven meters above street level on the so-called Augustinerbastei.
The close proximity of the palace to the imperial residence corresponded not only with Emperor Franz Joseph I and Archduke Albert with a close familial relationship between the owner of the palace and the monarch. Even the former inhabitants were always in close relationship to the imperial family, whether by birth or marriage. An exception here again proves the rule: Don Emanuel Teles da Silva Conde Tarouca (1696-1771), for which Maria Theresa in 1744 the palace had built, was just a close friend and advisor of the monarch. Silva Tarouca underpins the rule with a second exception, because he belonged to the administrative services as Generalhofbaudirektor (general court architect) and President of the Austrian-Dutch administration, while all other him subsequent owners were highest ranking military.
In the annals of Austrian history, especially those of military history, they either went into as commander of the Imperial Army, or the Austrian, later kk Army. In chronological order, this applies to Duke Carl Alexander of Lorraine, the brother-of-law of Maria Theresa, as Imperial Marshal, her son-in-law Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen, also field marshal, whos adopted son, Archduke Charles of Austria, the last imperial field marshal and only Generalissimo of Austria, his son Archduke Albrecht of Austria as Feldmarschalil and army Supreme commander, and most recently his nephew Archduke Friedrich of Austria, who held as field marshal from 1914 to 1916 the command of the Austro-Hungarian troops. Despite their military profession, all five generals conceived themselves as patrons of the arts and promoted large sums of money to build large collections, the construction of magnificent buildings and cultural life. Charles Alexander of Lorraine promoted as governor of the Austrian Netherlands from 1741 to 1780 the Academy of Fine Arts, the Théâtre de Ja Monnaie and the companies Bourgeois Concert and Concert Noble, he founded the Academie royale et imperial des Sciences et des Lettres, opened the Bibliotheque Royal for the population and supported artistic talents with high scholarships. World fame got his porcelain collection, which however had to be sold by Emperor Joseph II to pay off his debts. Duke Albert began in 1776 according to the concept of conte Durazzo to set up an encyclopedic collection of prints, which forms the core of the world-famous "Albertina" today.

1816 declared to Fideikommiss and thus in future indivisible, inalienable and inseparable, the collection 1822 passed into the possession of Archduke Carl, who, like his descendants, it broadened. Under him, the collection was introduced together with the sumptuously equipped palace on the Augustinerbastei in the so-called "Carl Ludwig'schen fideicommissum in 1826, by which the building and the in it kept collection fused into an indissoluble unity. At this time had from the Palais Tarouca by structural expansion or acquisition a veritable Residenz palace evolved. Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen was first in 1800 the third floor of the adjacent Augustinian convent wing adapted to house his collection and he had after 1802 by his Belgian architect Louis de Montoyer at the suburban side built a magnificent extension, called the wing of staterooms, it was equipped in the style of Louis XVI. Only two decades later, Archduke Carl the entire palace newly set up. According to scetches of the architect Joseph Kornhäusel the 1822-1825 retreaded premises presented themselves in the Empire style. The interior of the palace testified from now in an impressive way the high rank and the prominent position of its owner. Under Archduke Albrecht the outer appearance also should meet the requirements. He had the facade of the palace in the style of historicism orchestrated and added to the Palais front against the suburbs an offshore covered access. Inside, he limited himself, apart from the redesign of the Rococo room in the manner of the second Blondel style, to the retention of the paternal stock. Archduke Friedrich's plans for an expansion of the palace were omitted, however, because of the outbreak of the First World War so that his contribution to the state rooms, especially, consists in the layout of the Spanish apartment, which he in 1895 for his sister, the Queen of Spain Maria Christina, had set up as a permanent residence.
Picture: The "audience room" after the restoration: Picture: The "balcony room" around 1990
The era of stately representation with handing down their cultural values found its most obvious visualization inside the palace through the design and features of the staterooms. On one hand, by the use of the finest materials and the purchase of masterfully manufactured pieces of equipment, such as on the other hand by the permanent reuse of older equipment parts. This period lasted until 1919, when Archduke Friedrich was expropriated by the newly founded Republic of Austria. With the republicanization of the collection and the building first of all finished the tradition that the owner's name was synonymous with the building name:
After Palais Tarouca or tarokkisches house it was called Lorraine House, afterwards Duke Albert Palais and Palais Archduke Carl. Due to the new construction of an adjacently located administration building it received in 1865 the prefix "Upper" and was referred to as Upper Palais Archduke Albrecht and Upper Palais Archduke Frederick. For the state a special reference to the Habsburg past was certainly politically no longer opportune, which is why was decided to name the building according to the in it kept collection "Albertina".
Picture: The "Wedgwood Cabinet" after the restoration: Picture: the "Wedgwood Cabinet" in the Palais Archduke Friedrich, 1905
This name derives from the term "La Collection Albertina" which had been used by the gallery Inspector Maurice von Thausing in 1870 in the Gazette des Beaux-Arts for the former graphics collection of Duke Albert. For this reason, it was the first time since the foundation of the palace that the name of the collection had become synonymous with the room shell. Room shell, hence, because the Republic of Austria Archduke Friedrich had allowed to take along all the movable goods from the palace in his Hungarian exile: crystal chandeliers, curtains and carpets as well as sculptures, vases and clocks. Particularly stressed should be the exquisite furniture, which stems of three facilities phases: the Louis XVI furnitures of Duke Albert, which had been manufactured on the basis of fraternal relations between his wife Archduchess Marie Christine and the French Queen Marie Antoinette after 1780 in the French Hofmanufakturen, also the on behalf of Archduke Charles 1822-1825 in the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory by Joseph Danhauser produced Empire furnitures and thirdly additions of the same style of Archduke Friedrich, which this about 1900 at Portois & Ffix as well as at Friedrich Otto Schmidt had commissioned.
The "swept clean" building got due to the strained financial situation after the First World War initially only a makeshift facility. However, since until 1999 no revision of the emergency equipment took place, but differently designed, primarily the utilitarianism committed office furnitures complementarily had been added, the equipment of the former state rooms presented itself at the end of the 20th century as an inhomogeneous administrative mingle-mangle of insignificant parts, where, however, dwelt a certain quaint charm. From the magnificent state rooms had evolved depots, storage rooms, a library, a study hall and several officed.
Image: The Albertina Graphic Arts Collection and the Philipphof after the American bombing of 12 März 1945.
Image: The palace after the demolition of the entrance facade, 1948-52
Worse it hit the outer appearance of the palace, because in times of continued anti-Habsburg sentiment after the Second World War and inspired by an intolerant destruction will, it came by pickaxe to a ministerial erasure of history. In contrast to the graphic collection possessed the richly decorated facades with the conspicuous insignia of the former owner an object-immanent reference to the Habsburg past and thus exhibited the monarchial traditions and values of the era of Francis Joseph significantly. As part of the remedial measures after a bomb damage, in 1948 the aristocratic, by Archduke Albert initiated, historicist facade structuring along with all decorations was cut off, many facade figures demolished and the Hapsburg crest emblems plunged to the ground. Since in addition the old ramp also had been cancelled and the main entrance of the bastion level had been moved down to the second basement storey at street level, ended the presence of the old Archduke's palace after more than 200 years. At the reopening of the "Albertina Graphic Collection" in 1952, the former Hapsburg Palais of splendour presented itself as one of his identity robbed, formally trivial, soulless room shell, whose successful republicanization an oversized and also unproportional eagle above the new main entrance to the Augustinian road symbolized. The emocratic throw of monuments had wiped out the Hapsburg palace from the urban appeareance, whereby in the perception only existed a nondescript, nameless and ahistorical building that henceforth served the lodging and presentation of world-famous graphic collection of the Albertina. The condition was not changed by the decision to the refurbishment because there were only planned collection specific extensions, but no restoration of the palace.
Image: The palace after the Second World War with simplified facades, the rudiment of the Danubiusbrunnens (well) and the new staircase up to the Augustinerbastei
This paradigm shift corresponded to a blatant reversal of the historical circumstances, as the travel guides and travel books for kk Residence and imperial capital of Vienna dedicated itself primarily with the magnificent, aristocratic palace on the Augustinerbastei with the sumptuously fitted out reception rooms and mentioned the collection kept there - if at all - only in passing. Only with the repositioning of the Albertina in 2000 under the direction of Klaus Albrecht Schröder, the palace was within the meaning and in fulfillment of the Fideikommiss of Archduke Charles in 1826 again met with the high regard, from which could result a further inseparable bond between the magnificent mansions and the world-famous collection. In view of the knowing about politically motivated errors and omissions of the past, the facades should get back their noble, historicist designing, the staterooms regain their glamorous, prestigious appearance and culturally unique equippment be repurchased. From this presumption, eventually grew the full commitment to revise the history of redemption and the return of the stately palace in the public consciousness.
Image: The restored suburb facade of the Palais Albertina suburb
The smoothed palace facades were returned to their original condition and present themselves today - with the exception of the not anymore reconstructed Attica figures - again with the historicist decoration and layout elements that Archduke Albrecht had given after the razing of the Augustinerbastei in 1865 in order. The neoclassical interiors, today called after the former inhabitants "Habsburg Staterooms", receiving a meticulous and detailed restoration taking place at the premises of originality and authenticity, got back their venerable and sumptuous appearance. From the world wide scattered historical pieces of equipment have been bought back 70 properties or could be returned through permanent loan to its original location, by which to the visitors is made experiencable again that atmosphere in 1919 the state rooms of the last Habsburg owner Archduke Frederick had owned. The for the first time in 80 years public accessible "Habsburg State Rooms" at the Palais Albertina enable now again as eloquent testimony to our Habsburg past and as a unique cultural heritage fundamental and essential insights into the Austrian cultural history. With the relocation of the main entrance to the level of the Augustinerbastei the recollection to this so valuable Austrian Cultural Heritage formally and functionally came to completion. The vision of the restoration and recovery of the grand palace was a pillar on which the new Albertina should arise again, the other embody the four large newly built exhibition halls, which allow for the first time in the history of the Albertina, to exhibit the collection throughout its encyclopedic breadh under optimal conservation conditions.

The palace presents itself now in its appearance in the historicist style of the Ringstrassenära, almost as if nothing had happened in the meantime. But will the wheel of time should not, cannot and must not be turned back, so that the double standards of the "Albertina Palace" said museum - on the one hand Habsburg grandeur palaces and other modern museum for the arts of graphics - should be symbolized by a modern character: The in 2003 by Hans Hollein designed far into the Albertina square cantilevering, elegant floating flying roof. 64 meters long, it symbolizes in the form of a dynamic wedge the accelerated urban spatial connectivity and public access to the palace. It advertises the major changes in the interior as well as the huge underground extensions of the repositioned "Albertina".

Exposition
Du 14/06/2017 au 10/09/2017
À l’été 2017, le Palais de Tokyo invite, avec Dioramas, à découvrir une source d’inspiration inattendue des artistes contemporains : le diorama. L’exposition déconstruit de manière inédite l’histoire du regard, au croisement de l’histoire, de l’histoire de l’art, du cinéma, du monde de la scène, des arts populaires et forains et de l’histoire des sciences et techniques.
Balzac qualifiait le diorama de « merveille du siècle »(1) : son invention au XIXème siècle a constitué une révolution optique, un moment clé de l’histoire du spectaculaire dans l’héritage des lanternes magiques du XVIIème siècle.
Du diorama de Daguerre consistant en une peinture de grande dimension soumise à de savants jeux d’éclairage, au célèbre diorama historique ou naturaliste connu des musées d’Histoire naturelle, formé d’une vitre, d’une toile de fond et d’éléments tridimensionnels, le diorama incarne le règne de la mise en scène et de l’illusion. En donnant, selon la forme inventée par Daguerre, l’impression du mouvement par des effets de lumière, il figure pour la première fois le passage du temps, et anticipe l’invention du cinéma. En offrant, dans sa seconde acception, la reconstitution d’une situation qui ne peut être vue pour des raisons spatiales ou temporelles, il donne naissance à une réalité virtuelle, et invite à croire, un instant, à l’authenticité de l’artifice.
