MACIEJOWSKI, MARCIN1974 Babice/PolenTitel: "07:15". Datierung: 2008. Technik: Öl auf Leinwand. Maße: 170 x 130cm. Bezeichnung: Betitelt, bezeichnet, signiert und datiert verso unten rechts: "07:15" (wg. "Dwanascie" M. Swietlickiego) MARCIN MACIEJOWSKI 2008. Hier zudem mit Werkangaben versehen. Provenienz:- Galerie Meyer Kainer, Wien- Privatsammlung Süddeutschland (seit 2010)Ausstellungen:- Kunstforum Ostdeutsche Galerie, Regensburg 2010Der 1974 in Babice bei Krakau geborene Maler Marcin Maciejowski ist einer der bekanntesten zeitgenössischen Künstler Polens. Von 1996 bis 2001 studiert er an der Kunstakademie in Krakau und erlangt internationale Bekanntheit als Gründungsmitglied der Grupa ?adnie (Hübsche Gruppe), zu der auch Rafa? Bujnowski, Marek Firek, Wilhelm Sasnal, und Jósef Tomczyk Kurosawa gehören. Maciejowski hält Szenen aus dem Alltag fest und bedient sich dabei einer Vielzahl von Medien - darunter Zeitungen, Fernsehen, Werbung, Comics sowie eigene Fotografien. Die sozialen und politischen Implikationen von Maciejowskis Vorlagen werden in seinen gemalten Versionen beibehalten und durch den Wechsel des Mediums in den Mittelpunkt gerückt. Er verbindet eine Comic-Ästhetik mit dem Realismus altmeisterlicher Gemälde, um eine rätselhafte Form des sozialen Kommentars zu finden. Das vorliegende Gemälde gleicht einem Polaroid-Foto, nicht nur inhaltlich, sondern auch formal: Am unteren Rand sehen wir, fast wie auf einem Beweisfoto, das Datum und die Uhrzeit der festgehaltenen Szene. Zwei Männer und Frauen befinden sich in einer leeren Bar, tanzend oder vor ihren leeren Gläsern an der Bar sitzend oder stehend. Das grelle Licht der Polaroid-Kamera scheint die vier Personen ganz ungefiltert zu treffen. Dem Betrachter stellt sich unmittelbar die Frage, wer die Dargestellten sind, wo sie sich befinden und wie sie zueinander gehören. Ausgelassen und glücklich wirkt keine der dargestellten Personen. In der gewählten Farbigkeit schwingt eine melancholische, fast bedrohliche Stimmung mit. Maciejowski gelingt es meisterhaft, den Betrachtenden im Ungewissen zu lassen und gleichzeitig, fein nuanciert, seinen persönlichen Blick auf die photographische Vorlage preiszugeben. Marcin Maciejowskis Werke finden sich u.a. im Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, im Center for Contemporary Art in Warschau, im San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, im Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum und im Whitney Museum of American Art, beide in New York sowie in zahlreichen namhaften Privatsammlungen weltweit.

(C. Stephens in R. Smith, Artworks 1954-2013, EFB Publishing and Thames & Hudson, London, 2022, p. 41)Richard 'Dick' Smith, who was born in Letchworth, Hertfordshire and studied at The Royal College of Art from 1954-1957, was a prodigious talent whose work became admired both in the U.K. and the U.S.A., where he would work for much of his career. By the age of 35 Smith had already participated in several influential mixed exhibitions, including representing the U.K. at the Venice Biennale, and enjoyed an early retrospective exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery. He would exhibit again at the Venice Biennale in 1970, and further major exhibitions include a solo exhibition at the Hayward Gallery in 1973 and a second retrospective at the Tate in 1975. His output broadly comprises of early formal paintings rooted in Pop imagery, large colour field shaped canvases which push the boundary of painting into three dimensions, hanging 'kite' paintings which reject the conventionality of a traditional canvas construction and painterly canvases concerned with space and gravity which date to his final two decades.The present work is number two in a series of four paintings Smith executed in 1965 titled Four Corners. In these works, Smith, who had already moved his painting practice from two to three dimensions, instead chooses to work within the parameters of a traditional canvas painting and interrupts the conventional space with vibrant curving colour bands.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * AR* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Smith was entranced by the Japanese craft of origami. Cut, folded, and pinned coloured sheets were assembled to form, combine, and disrupt geometrical hues. The lightness of such works aided Smith in developing his painting practice, as his celebrated aerial 'kite' paintings of the period stemmed from a desire to align his works on canvas with such works on paper.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * AR* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
