Mixed media, 11,5 x 9 inches © Galerie Zürcher, Paris-­‐New YorkFocus ardst : Brian Beloh, born in 1974Others ardsts exhibited on the booth: Katharina ZiemkePrices of the works: from 350 € to 5 000 €The Brooklyn ardst Brian Beloh makes deliriously seducdve paindngs. His art is animated by both Madsse and the Marx Brothers and involves collecdng, cuƒng, slicing, and dicing exisdng material into a range of new forms, proffering a relentless, freewheeling, and ogen mysterious joie de vivre. His « laminated drawings » are « silly, jazzy, syncopated, and immensely colorful » and « demonstrate a giged ardst improvising a process as much as compledng a work of art. » (The Brooklyn Rail, November 2012). Brian Beloh’s work is a part of the Museum of Modern Art’s permanent collecdon. His exhibidons have been reviewed in the NY Times and The New Yorker, Art in America among others.Since 1992, the Galerie Zürcher presents contemporary works through an affirmadon of cridcal preferences based on an “indmate convicdon” rather than a market strategy. Its ambidon: promodng ardsts who aren’t yet well known. 15 years ager the creadon of the gallery in Paris, Bernard and Gwenolee Zürcher decided to extend its acdvides by opening a new space in New York, the Zürcher Studio. They now hold a dozen solo exhibidons each year in the two galleries, along with shows organized by « curators », which provide opportunides to bring in other ardsts. So Galerie Zürcher is a single team, working in two separate galleries : the Galerie Zürcher in Paris, in the Marais Beaubourg district, near the Centre Pompidou, and the Zürcher Studio in New York, in the NoHo district of downtown Manhahan, near the New Museum.Presse mappe I Seite 78
