Aus Österreich grüßt schließlich Gottfried Helnwein mit seiner „Midnight Mickey“ von 2001, die doch etwas gefährlicher zu sein scheint als Warhols Exemplar (Taxe 80.000 bis 120.000 USD). ...

The Helnweins are cutting a wide swath through Los Angele's various scenes - the kind of creative energy that seems to come naturally.
As children of the Austrian-Irish artist Gottfried Helnwein, siblings Mercedes and Ali experienced an unconventional and charmed upbringing. They lived in castles in Germany and Ireland, attended a private arts school in England and accompanied their father on trips to America, where they sold their drawings to hotel guests to buy stuffed animals at the gift shop.
These days, Mercedes, 31, and Ali, 29, are drawing on that background in their own artistic endeavors: Mercedes as a novelist and visual artist and Ali as a composer and musician, with an emphasis on classical music. They bring a fresh, somewhat ironic playfulness to their chosen mediums that has attracted a raucous group of young fans not typically associated with traditional galleries or classical music concerts. In this way, they stand at a colorful intersection of L.A.'s literary, pop culture, visual art and music scene. And they are rarely at rest, working on several projects at once and often collaborating with each other on videos or performances. ...

Il corto contiene infatti tutti i clichè cari all'estetica del “Reverendo” (che ha annunciato il suo lungometraggio Phantasmagoria ormai dal 2004); temi già sviluppati ampiamente negli anni passati da artisti quali Floria Born Villain: Shia LaBeouf regista per Marilyn MansonSigismondi e E. Elias Merhige (i video) e Gottfried Helnwein (il geniale concept per The Golden Age of Grotesque). Quasi inevitabile per un esordiente come LaBeouf uscire dal confronto con le ossa spezzate. ...

La chimie, explique Djerassi, est un monde de machos. Mais les femmes ont toujours été au cœur de son univers, comme dans ce saisissant tableau du peintre austro-irlandais Gottfried Helnwein, accroché dans son appartement viennois : affleurant tel un hologramme sous la surface presque noire, on devine un visage familier, celui de Simone de Beauvoir. ...

In 1971/72 Gerhard Richter created a series of 48 iconic portraits of men that influenced Modernity, in a photorealistic manner based on black and white photographs in encyclopedias. Exactly 20 years later, in 1991/92 Austrian artist Gottfried Helnwein replied with a cycle of 48 portraits that depict exclusively women of historic influence.  In contrast to Gerhard Richter’s men in gray, Helnwein painted his women in fiery red. Both Helnwein's and Gerhard Richter's works, which are part of the collection of the Ludwig Museum, Cologne, are being shown together face to face for the first time as the centerpiece of the exhibition Undeniable Me, at Galerie Rudolfinum in Prague. ...

Through December 11, the museum is presenting “Pop’d From The Panel,” a exploration of how comics and cartoon art have influenced the modern pop-art movement. The nearly 20 artists with works in the exhibit include provocative Mexican-born Enrique Chagoya, modern “street artist” Ron English, and such iconic contemporary figures as Roy Lichtenstein, Gottfried Helnwein, Andy Warhol, Wayne Thiebaud, and Christo. There are 26 two- and three-dimensional works in the exhibition, which is in the Downstairs Changing Gallery. ...

Fertige Bilder auf Knopfdruck - was in Zeiten von Digitalkameras und Fotodrucker das Selbstverständlichste auf der Welt ist, erschien in den 1970er Jahren geradezu revolutionär. Auch viele Künstler, von Andy Warhol über Ansel Adams und Gottfried Helnwein, verfielen dem geradezu magischen Aspekt der Polaroid-Kameras und schufen - mit unterschiedlichsten Konzepten, aber mit demselben Originalmaterial - beeindruckende Werke. ...
