Sanguine / Bloedrood

    NLENFR

    During the cultural city festival Antwerp Baroque 2018. Rubens Inspires, the M HKA, the Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp, juxtaposes the spirit of the baroque masters with the vision of contemporary top artists. With the exhibition Sanguine/Bloedrood (Blood Red), curator Luc Tuymans aims to overwhelm the visitor by placing key works from the baroque of, among others, Francisco de Zurbarán and Caravaggio, in dialogue with works by classical contemporary masters, such as On Kawara and Edward Kienholz, as well as new works by contemporary stars such as Zhang Enli, Takashi Murakami, Michaël Borremans, Sigmar Polke and Tobias Rheberger.

    Aquisition on behalf of the Flemish Comunity. View of a curtain before the window at 4pm., screenprint in 12 colours on BKF Rives 250g/m² paper. Published by Graphic Matter, Antwerp. Printed by Roger Vandaele at Tubbax, Antwerp. Signed and numbered in pencil. Edition of 60 signed and numbered in Arabic numerals. 10 AP

    The image originated from a stay of Luc Tuymans in a hotel room in Malmö in 2009 during the setup of the exhibition "Against the Day". The subject of the print is a window with curtains. City ​​lights are shining through. The result is a darkish brown-green image. The image is an evocation of a melancholic and alienating stay.
