RON MUECK NOVEMBER 19, 2005—FEBRUARY 19, 2006 UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS March 4—May 21, 2006 Press opening with the artists on Friday, March 3, 2006 Yokoo Tadanori A pioneer of Japanese graphic design in the 1960 and 1970, Yokoo Tadanori (born in Japan in 1936) originally became known through his posters and illustrations. A number of artists, including Issey Miyake and the writer Yukio Mishima, spotted his talent early on and requested his collaboration. At the time, Yokoo Tadanori deftly developed his own distinctive mode of expression, playing with styles belonging to different eras. Inspired by the imagery of popular culture, his work explains many facets of Japanese postwar society. In the early 1980s, painting became the art form through which he uncompromisingly began to explore various subjects rooted in personal and collective memories, such as life, death, society, sex and religion. Impervious to all forms of criticism, bent on giving intuition and inspiration full rein, he never shrank from shocking his contemporaries as he varied stylistic and thematic approaches. The Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain is organizing this outstanding artist’s first international exhibition. The Fondation Cartier will present a collection of his paintings along with some of his older work, thus revealing his journey as a graphic artist and the opulence of his personal universe. Juergen Teller One of the most influential fashion photographers of his generation, Juergen Teller first became famous for the innovative fashion editorials he realized for magazines such as i-D, W, and The Face. His work redefined the aesthetics of fashion photography, away from the glamour and gloss of the 1980s to the more brutally direct and authentic realism of the 1990s. Juergen Teller captures his subjects at seemingly unrehearsed moments, revealing them in all of their imperfection and vulnerability. Exposing the scars, bruises and blemishes of his models, Juegen Teller’s photographs question conventional notions of beauty. Whether he is photographing supermodels and celebrities or himself and his family, Juergen Teller finds poetry in the everyday, creating images that are poignant, humorous, rough or tender. The Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain is pleased to present the artist’s first major solo show in France. The exhibition will include the major icons of the artist’s work in fashion, as well as new and previously unpublished images. A special focus will be given to the artist’s work as it appears in magazines and publications, exploring the relationships created by the sequencing of images in printed form. 10
