YASUMASA MORIMURA: AMBIGUOUS BEAUTY / AIMAI-NO-BI - 1995 PETER NORTON FAMILY CHRISTMAS PROJECT ARTIST'S MULTIPLE

Santa Monica, CA, Peter Norton Family Foundation., 1995, First Edition. "Each year the Norton Family commissions an original artwork as a greeting for the holiday season. This year's is by Japanese artist Yasumasa Morimura. Morimura-san photographs himself in re-creations of important Western cultural images. His work explores the issues of meaning, identity, authenticity, and viewpoint: issues that have become key themes in contemporary cultural dialogue". For 1995's Christmas Project, Morimura contributed "Ambiguous Beauty" - the artist/photographer's rather unsettling, gender bending self-portrait as Marilyn Monroe (in Tom Kelley's iconic 1949 full-length nude against a red background) photomechanically reproduced on the face of an inexpensive Japanese hand-held folding fan. The fan is housed in a paper sleeve inside a silkscreened wooden case. A most handsome example of this charming object issued hors commerce in 1995, and never commercially available for sale.

MORIMURA, YASUMASA; KUSPIT, DONALD (INTRODUCTION BY)

Daughter of Art History: Photographs by Yasumasa Morimura

New York, Aperture. 2003, First Edition, First Printing. (ISBN: 1931788073) Hard Cover , 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Collectible, Pictorial boards, 128 pp. col. illus. bib. notes; 27 cm. BRAND NEW. Stated "First Edition." OVERSIZE! No priority/air, except by special arrangement. "Daughter of Art History is an elaborate deception a fake art-history in which Rembrandt, Jesus Christ, Van Gogh, the Mona Lisa, Frida Kahlo, and Cindy Sherman have all been hijacked and replaced. Where once the viewer's gaze met the eyes of a reclining female nude, a European master painter, or a Western religious icon, that gaze is now returned by the hauntingly photo-realistic eyes of a Japanese man. Since the early eighties, Yasumasa Morimura has been invading the established canon of Western art - offering both wry commentary and loving tribute - by replacing the figures and faces of its well-known masterpieces with his own. After painstakingly recreating the surroundings of some of art-history's most iconic paintings, like a chameleon, Morimura assumes their subjects' identities through elaborate makeup and costume, and inserts himself into the scene. To view the resulting photographs is an uncanny experience. Daughter of Art History begins with a foreword by renowned art historian Donald Kuspit who describes Morimura's art as 'a kind of Wagnerian Gesamtkunstwerk, in which painting, sculpture, and photography form a seamless conceptual whole. His photographs may be mock masterpieces, but they are nonetheless masterpieces, for they show mastery of three mediums usually regarded as irreconcilable.' / Yasumasa Morimura has shown extensively in international solo exhibitions, and his work is in the collections of many museums including Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh; Modern Art Museum, Fort Worth; and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art." - Publisher.
