ARTRISSIMA 1, the first edition of an event that stands as an unusual display for the knowledge of different artistic disciplines, through radical positions taken by the artists themselves in their research, thus presenting an original sample.

The title is a neologism created for this exhibition, where the use of the superlative that both belong to the vocabulary of contemporary, expresses the quality at its peak, with no comparison and this time ARTRA, a container is likely to be an adjective of the same Group Show for denotarne and connotarne choices, and just the ending highlights the extraordinary.

ARTRISSIMA one will have a privileged focus on painting, through the various protagonists: the pictorial synthesis of Marco Blacks in his geometric compositions, the landscape style in the green landscape, abstract and mental Valentina D’Amaro and free practice of painting Lorenza Boisi, linked in an open interaction with its poetic ceramics.

LG Williams and The Estate of LG Williams™
World-Famous Artists’ Works Museum Wall Label Series (2010)

TOKYO — The Estate of LG Williams™ would like to bring to your attention to two new series of “museum wall labels” artworks.

Beginning in November 2010, American LG Williams examined the museum wall label motif by appropriating and transforming them into living art works in their own right in two distinct museum wall label series. One series reproduced museum labels from many world-famous artists’ works, while another introduced soon-to-be-famous artists’ works.

These museum wall label artworks not only alluded to past, present, and future masterpieces of art, they themselves materialized into exquisite works of art. Each piece is unique, as are most museum wall labels, made from the highest quality materials and produced by expertly trained Japanese artisans. All were considerably beyond the production scope of most institutions.

Additionally, the scale of each artwork was considered “variable”, as a result of being directly dependent upon the exact number of words in each text, while the final, over-all measurements of the artwork would be determined by the art collector upon delivery.

The 2010-11 label artworks by Williams were exhibited in galleries and artfairs and documented in publications in Japan, Europe and the United States:

• (2011) Exhibition at Super Window Project, Kyoto, Japan
• (2011) In Print review in Artforum
• (2011) Exhibition at Artissima with Super Window Project
• (2011) Print review in La Stampa during Artissima
• (2012) Exhibition at Gloria Maria Gallery with Super Window Project in Milan, Italy

Many of Williams’ “museum wall labels” artworks have been sold to private collectors.
