XAVIER VEILHAN – Architectones in L.A.
the latest body of work of french artist xavier veilhan revolves around LA architecture from the mid century. the case study house n°21 by pierre koenig was one of them. veilhan wanted to emphasize the purity of the architectural shapes by filling the space with smoke, and replacing the water in the ponds with a dark black liquid. the result is ghost like, simple yet impressive. by pp.

this is my favorite period of richter, the blurred photo paintings and portraits, but this is not one of my favorites in the batch and thank god. this one sold on tuesday for 37 million, that’s ten times the price it sold for just 15 years ago at 3.5. don bryant, founder of napa valley’s bryant family vineyard is the new happy owner. i’m sure he really gets ‘art’ just like his wines. pay him a visit. by dd
