Boltanski transforms shards of nothing into art, bits of cardboard, lumps of sugar, old photos, but plays the game of showing us that his transformation is also mere illusion, that this art is also the nothing or next to nothing from which it has sprung."Didier Semin, Parkett Nr. 22, 1989.Artikel zu Werk und Künstler aus Parkett Edition Nr. 22.

Ansonsten befindet sich die Arbeit in einem sehr guten Zustand.Mit Parkett-Magazin."In appearance, the work of Fischli/Weiss is ironic and humorous; oscillating between game and joke, it seems to mock the seriousness of art. The artists' combinations of things and objects, figures and actions, whether in balance or in movement, tend to restore the value of wit and playfulness to creative commitment, but their goal is to contest the claim to truth, to contest the absolutism of the art process, repudiating cleverness and replacing it with inept intentions. or removing its core. or even collapsing it."

Exemplar: 4/50. Zustand:Das Objekt befindet sich in einem sehr guten Zustand.Mit Parkett-Magazin."The Pop dandy is aware of the aesthetic surfaces to which he owes his subjectivity and enjoys taking both serious and ironic stabs at it and himself. His melancholy is articulated in camp; he celebrates his longings in a lusty mix of excessive empathy and affectionate self-irony. He acts out his life in a self-devised aesthetic universe, an isolated space that is filled with the media of his longing, with the pictures and the music that he loves. There he plays a game of sentimental identification and contemplative self-detachment that allows him to enjoy his melancholy split ego."Jan Verwoert, Parkett Nr. 52, 1998.Artikel zu Werk und Künstler aus Parkett Edition Nr. 52.

He wants to reinsert himself within an apparently completed project, but a project the success or failure of which is still very much in question. It is inevitably a melancholy and nostalgic game, and regardless of the formal elegance and seduction that Förg's installations promise, he is always somewhat a loser. Maybe part of the point of his work is being just that, a graceful, good loser in a foreclosed historical gambit - and that way, surreptitiously, a success."

BRIGADIER ALLEN ROBERT BETHAM SHUTTLEWORTH (BRITISH ACTIVE 1912-1920) WATERCOLOUR PAINTING OF ZIARAT IN PAKISTAN, 'Ziarat 1929' bottom left and signed by the artist to the bottom right. Brigadier Allen Robert Betham Shuttleworth (20 February 1873[1] – 30 July 1935) was an officer in the British Indian Army and player of The Great Game.[2] Shuttleworth was born in Dapoli, North-West Provinces, India, to Allen Thornton Shuttleworth, who won the Albert Medal of the First Class, and Laura Phoebe Betham. His younger brother was Sir Digby Shuttleworth. Shuttleworth joined the British Army relatively late, beginning his career in the militia. For a time in 1908, Shuttleworth was acting Consul in Kashgar while George Macartney was in England. During this time, Shuttleworth became involved in investigating the expeditions of Eizaburo Nomura and Zuicho Tachibana, even dining with them at Chini-Bagh. Shuttleworth reported his suspicions to Sir Francis Younghusband, and these suspicions about the two Japanese eventually made its way to Lord Morley, Secretary of State for India. Shuttleworth died suddenly in Ajmer, Rajasthan. Provenance: Property of a local resident of Wimbledon Village.
