Art Cologne picks: Evariste Richer


Last w/e we visited Art Cologne, enjoyed the great weather, stroll along the Rhine and another contemporary art fair of this year, with the usual suspects and some nice discoveries. As always, it was a pleasure to visit the booth of the Brussels gallery MSSNDCLRCQ. No shopping window mentality here but a carefully selected number of beautiful works. The work pictured above is "cerveau" by Evariste Richer and was our favorite piece. It is made out of a combination or pyrite - also nicknamed fool's gold - and mosaic from Pompeii. The sculpture - with a weight equivalent to a human brain - "combines like this mischievously nature and culture..."
We look forward to the galleries' selection of works on Art Brussels.
