WARNING #28 – Kosuke, Photography, Art, Abstract, Black and White, Cat, Animals

2008

About the Item

Kosuke (*1986, Japan) WARNING #28, 2008 Silver gelatin print Image 39.2 x 52.7 cm (15 3/8 x 20 3/4 in.) Sheet 50.8 x 61 cm (20 x 24 in.) Edition of 15, plus 3 AP's; Ed. no. 1/15 print only Strongly inspired by the works of established artists, i.e. Man Ray, Mario Giacomelli, Daido Moriyama, and André Kertész, and by their respective concepts, sensibilities and methods, Kosuke’s work is locked in a pastiche of references. According to the artist, the potential for new work rests in the revitalization of the work of his predecessors. In his works anyway Kosuke add (i.a. through the technique of multi-exposure) his own unique perspectives, sensibilities and atmosphere, preserving at the same time photography's essential beauty, character and dignity. His 'WARNING' series turns into a unique world when he imbues the images he shot on film with emotions in the darkroom. The artist’s choice to populate his pictures with figures of idle cats is successful in communicating a sense of boredom and detached dreaminess, which is yet at odds with the series’ title and its reference to almost apocalyptic scenes. – Black and White, Photography, Art, Japan, Double Exposure, Tokyo, Cat, Animal, Landscape

  • Jean-Michel Basquiat photograph by Nick Taylor of Gray
    By Nicholas Taylor
    Located in NEW YORK, NY
    Jean Michel Basquiat photograph 1979; This rare Basquiat photograph was taken from Nicholas Taylor’s well-documented portfolio exploring his friendship with Jean-Michel Basquiat - a friendship which began when both collaborated on the historic New York No Wave band, “GRAY” in the late 1970s; before the two briefly lived together in the East Village. Selections from Taylor's portfolio were most notably exhibited as part of the Basquiat retrospective at London's Barbican in 2017 and have been featured in numerous noteworthy publications on Basquiat. Silver Gelatin Print. 1979. 11 x 14 inches. Hand singed and numbered in the margins from an edition of 5 A/P's. Good to very good overall vintage condition, with the exception of some minor surface waving commensurate with medium. Provenance: Obtained directly from artist. Lot 180 Gallery New York is a primary dealer rep of Nicholas Taylor. Whilst Basquiat often provided glimpses into his conflicted character through his own art, Taylor’s photograph offers an intimate, and perhaps more honest, portrait from the outside. The clever exploration of light and dark reveals the dichotomies that divided the artist; both his fragile and playful, tender and brazen sides are unveiled. A soft glow is cast across Basquiat’s face, communicating a tenderness and affection that only a close friend could capture. About Nicholas Taylor: Nicholas Taylor (American, b. 1953) is a renowned photographer and musician. Taylor moved to New York in 1977 to pursue a career as a photographer and it was through the vibrant New York art scene that he came to know the young artist, Jean-Michel Basquiat. It was, in fact, his intimate portfolio of photographs documenting his friendship with Basquiat that rocketed Taylor to fame. The two would collaborate in the seminal No Wave band “Gray” and live together in the East Village, before Taylor launched a successful career as a DJ famous for track-looping. His track “Suicide Mode” would later be used in the soundtrack for Julian Schnabel’s 1996 film “Basquiat." Taylor has been directly referenced in at least two works by Basquiat and is responsible for first introducing the artist to Madonna before the two dated. Taylor's photographs of Basquiat were recently exhibited at London's Barbican and Frankfurt's Schirn Kunsthalle as part of the landmark Basquiat: Boom for Real exhibition; with Gray (Michael Holman & Nick Taylor...
