サザビーズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (サザビーズInstagram)「Brooding, haunting yet beautifully and stunningly resplendent, Lidless Eye from 2016-2018 is a spectacular large-scale masterwork by Adrian Ghenie based on one of the very last self-portraits by Vincent Van Gogh. Ghenie’s portrait refers not only to the Post-Impressionist master but also to an array of artistic sources ranging from the consummate chiaroscuro of Renaissance painting, to the raw psychological intensity of Francis Bacon’s portraiture, to the deft manipulations of the painted surface in Gerhard Richter’s practice that simultaneously create, and shatter, illusory space. In layers that are pastose and wonderfully variegated, this painting embodies a painterly palimpsest of masked and spliced identity and identification, alluding to troubling chapters in the twentieth century and their continuing ramifications. An extraordinary composite of the historical and the personal, into this work Ghenie poured his childhood adulation for Van Gogh as well as his core preoccupations regarding contemporary history’s darkest chapters, manifesting as an emblematic piece within his challenging revival of both history painting and self-portraiture.⠀ ⠀ Adrian Ghenie Lidless Eye⠀ 2016-2018⠀ oil on canvas⠀ 180.3 by 150 cm. 71 by 59 in.⠀ Est.
