Russell Young. Superstar21 Jan — 14 Feb 2016 at Halcyon Gallery in London, United Kingdom
Kate Moss Superstar [Perylene maroon]
On 21 January 2016, celebrated British-American Pop artist Russell Young will present Superstar, hisdebut solo exhibition at Halcyon Gallery, London. This brand new body of work is part of anongoing exploration into the visual nature of fame and celebrity, as Young attempts to define theessence of what truly makes a ‘superstar’. With his trademark vividly-coloured, larger-than-lifecanvases, Young reinterprets iconic imagery featuring two of popular culture’s most famous faces:contemporary catwalk heroine, Kate Moss and modern screen siren, Marilyn Monroe.
The exhibition features a controversial photograph of Kate Moss, first published in British Vogue inearly 1990, capturing the Croydon-born supermodel aged just sixteen. Taken by British photographerKate Garner at the cusp of the nineties, this photograph reflects the very beginning of Moss’s stellarcareer. By embellishing and expanding upon the outtakes, Young weaves the image into hiscontinuing exploration of the fragile nature of celebrity and its impact on both society at large andour shared internal psyche. Whilst the original image presents a natural innocence and beauty, it isthrough Young’s manipulation that these paintings are elevated, transcending the restrictions of theiroriginal source material and providing a unique and very personal body of work which pays apowerful homage to one of our generation’s most celebrated icons.
Alongside the images of Kate Moss is Marilyn Monroe, whose instantly-recognisable features arerendered in both opulent platinum and dazzling gold and imbued with a sense of nostalgia and

celebration. Following a decade of austerity in the United States, emerging from the Wall StreetCrash and the ensuing Great Depression, Monroe’s rise to fame came to represent a new era ofoptimism that helped revive the spirits of a nation with her much publicised and often tumultuouslove life, reflecting the cultural appetite of the age. Presidents, sporting heroes and writers all fellunder her spell, but it was her inherent vulnerability and untimely death that maintains Monroe’sstatus as the first true superstar. These works set out to serve as both a celebration and an epitaph tothe Great American Dream.
If Marilyn represents the beginning of a journey into the notion of what defines a superstar, then Katemust surely represent its closing chapter: these two icons of unparalleled global recognition, born fivedecades apart, both encapsulate the true meaning of what it is to be a superstar.
British-American Pop artist Russell Young (b. 1959) is best known for compelling, larger-than-lifesilkscreen paintings appropriated from recent history and popular culture. Alluding to the great Popartists of past and present, he reinvents bold, sometimes brutal imagery turned upon itself inalienation and entrapment while bearing witness to the ambition and glamorous excesses of 21stcentury America.
Young’s artistic output embraces painting, screen printing, sculpture, installations and film. Mostimportant to him are the titles, the crops, and the progression from darkness to light, reflecting histransition from painful early years in northern England to warmth, growth and fulfilled potentialunder the sunny skies of America.
Young’s work is represented in the collections of the Polk Museum of Art in Florida, the AlbertinaMuseum in Vienna, the Istanbul Museum of Modern Art, the Saatchi Collection, Barack Obama, theQatari royal family, Liz Taylor, Kate Moss and Brad Pitt. Young has also exhibited in museums andgalleries in London, Paris, Vienna, Berlin, Tokyo, Singapore, New York, Detroit, Miami and LosAngeles.

Sotheby’sLondres | Subasta: 10 de febreroSale a pujas, tasado entre 18 y 24 millones de euros, uno de los escasos lienzos monumentales de Gerhard Richter que aún quedan en manos privadas. Abstraktes Bild (725-4), ejecutado en 1990, estuvo en la colección particular del artista hasta 1996. Richter ha visto como, en los últimos cuatro años, se pulverizaba su record de artista hasta en tres ocasiones distintas; hace ahora un año, Sotheby’s adjudicó Abstraktes Bild de 1986, que arrancaba de 18 millones de euros, en 34 millones. Este precio superó en un 25% el anterior registro del artista y en un 43% el mejor precio conseguido por una composición abstracta. El mercado del creador alemán demuestra una potencia inusitada y Richter es el pintor vivo más cotizado del mundo.
Halcyon GalleryLondres | Hasta el 14 de febreroSuperstar es el flamante proyecto del conocido artista pop Russell Young en el que investiga la naturaleza visual de la fama tratando de definir lo que convierte a alguien en una ‘superestrella’. Con sus característicos colores vívidos y lienzos gigantescos, Young reinterpreta el imaginario de dos de los rostros más famosos de la cultura popular: la heroína de la pasarela contemporánea, Kate Moss, y la sirena moderna de la gran pantalla, Marilyn Monroe. La exposición incluye una polémica imagen de Kate Moss con 16 años, publicada por primera vez en la edición británica de Vogue a principios de los 90 y que marcó el pistoletazo de salida de la meteórica carrera de Moss. La otra protagonista es Marilyn Monroe, cuyos rasgos instantáneamente reconocibles se recrean en dos versiones, en platino y oro, que destilan un profundo aroma de nostalgia.
DorotheumViena | Subasta: MarzoMack es uno de los escultores alemanes fundamentales de la posguerra, cofundador del Grupo Zero de Düsseldorf, en 1957. El término Zero no tenía un mensaje subliminal irónico o nihilista, sino que fue escogido por sus connotaciones de silencio y pureza. Las placas de aluminio repujadas de la pieza que se licita –valorada entre 70.000 y 90.000 euros- reflejan la luz con refracciones inducidas y brillantes superficies pulidas para disolver los elementos estructurales en el ojo humano. Con sus relieves Heinz Mack nos invita a entrar en una dimensión solo perceptible visualmente: “Tome uno de mis relieves de metal labrados y pulidos. Si el relieve es adecuadamente iluminado, entonces un reflejo de luz cruzará su superficie. Parpadeará espacialmente por encima de la placa de metal. Puede ser sólo unos pocos milímetros. Planea sobre él y vibra con dulzura. A este momento de inmaterialidad, es a lo que yo llamo: ‘belleza’.”
