Seller's Description:
This work records a 1998 performance at the Galerie Fur Zeitgonassische Kunst, Leipzig.
The artist intended this work to be mounted to an aluminum sheet, hence the certiificate is not attached to the verso, to allow for mounting.
In the performances that have established her international reputation, Vanessa Beecroft sets a group of characters, usually a homogenous selection of nude or undressed young women, in a tableau vivant. All the components are meticulously chosen according to autobiographical concerns and sometimes contextual considerations. For the artist, 'the girls' are at the same time the basic material of her work as well as projections of herself. During the performance, lasting for several hours, they stay silent, immobile and impassive to the audience, occasionally breaking their initial order to sit or stretch. In this way the painting develops a life of its own. The piece is documented by photographs and sometimes by video.
"VB-08-36" is also the cover image of the book "VB 08-36" 2000, published by Hatje Cantz, which contains photos of all the artist's performances up to 2000, with an essay "Painted Ladies," by David Hickey.
