arta timpului tu

Ce e de facut cu arta contemporan? ntreb la noi, pentru c n

prile mai vest-europene, chineze i braziliene dilema aceasta s-a

tranat: arta contemporan e de neles i e de dorit. Drept care,

se tranzacioneaz la concuren cu aurul.

Aceast certitudine a altora nc ocolete ezitant lumea noastr.Att pentru publicul privitor ct i pentru muli dintre colecionari, arta

contemporan la noi este nc n zona exploratorie, lateral i suspectat

de risc crescut. Estetica noastr familiar este cea deprins din

lucrrile de patrimoniu clasic. Tehnicile i subiectele contemporane sunt

considerate adesea a incomode i uneori de-a binelea neinteligibile:

chipul acestei femei nu seamn cu un chip adevrat iar orile sunt

neclare i suspendate; lemnul nu e lustruit lun, iar pnza asta nici nu

e pnz, e un soi de celuloid; ppuile astea mbrcate n dantel i

purpur au capul spart iar lmul sta video ruleaz n netire la fel.

Se poate. Dar la Galeria AnnArt noi credem cu pasiune n

frumuseea cu multe chipuri a artei contemporane i n fora sa de ane bucura i de a ne educa; de a ne scoate din mulime, de a cuprinde

i de a genera valoare.

La Basel, n var, am fost reconfortat s au c criteriul de

selecie la AnnArt art care s ne placeste statistic valid i decisiv:

raportul Prot or Pleasure? publicat de Barclays Wealth Insights ne

arat de ce investesc nstriii lumii n valoarea alternativ pe care o

reprezint arta n general: 62% pentru pur plcere, 37% pentru copiii i

nepoii lor, 35% pentru c arta reprezint identitatea lor cultural i 18%

(sic!) pentru pur i rece investiie nanciar.

Grupul de artiti cu care lucrm n prezent reprezint pentru

noi, fr excepie, certitudini. Unii v sunt foarte cunoscui SorinIlfoveanu i tefan Clia sunt deja guri iconice ale culturii romne.

Pe alii, cunoscui mai bine n rile care i-au semi-adoptat cum ar

Paul Neagu, Laura Covaci, Dorin Creu sau Mircea Roman i descoperii

abia acum, iar pe alii, ca Francisc Chiuariu, Adrian Ilfoveanu sau Vladimir

etran, i recuperai dinluntrul universului mai degrab discret-silenios

n care au creat pn mai de curnd. Patru dintre acetia se a n

recent-publicatul Top 100 al celor mai valoroi pictori romni ai tuturor

timpurilor. Unul este unic-deintor al unui mare premiu de art al lumii.

Civa dein recorduri de licitaie. Toi se a deja n coleciile private ale

celor cunosctori.

Dei, credem noi, cu oricare artist din portofoliul AnnArt mergei

la sigur- cu ecare nou expoziie v invitm de fapt la un exerciiu dendrzneal, de nvingere a rezervei fa de ne-familiar. V propunem

s i dintre cei temerari i ncreztori n sine care privesc drept n ochi

arta timpului lor. Tonitza a fost cndva contemporan; cei mai muli, prin

1920, nu luau n seam artistul, ntors n ar de la Mnchen i care picta,

n tue cam difuze, un grup de oameni la coad la pine. Unii, mai puini

dar mai ctigtori, vedeau ce neles i emoie i valoare sunt de gsit

n arta acelui pictor contemporan cu ei.

Aadar, privii oriunde avei ocazia art contemporan. E posibil s

avei la un moment dat ntlnirea decisiv cea care v transform din

privitor n colecionar. E un pas de via special, i lumineaz prezentul

i te ancoreaz frumos n viitor. M-a bucura ca tot mai multe astfel dentlniri s se nfptuiasc la AnnArt.

n decembrie, de Crciun, v facem n dar o expoziie numit

Mica Art Mare cu lucrri de laborator, schie pregtitoare sau lucrri

de mici dimensiuni semnate de artitii din acest catalog. Firete c,

ind toate mult sub 1,000 de Euro, aceste lucrri cost mai puin dect

lucrrile lor consacrate. Dar toate conin ntreagavaloare a autorului

lor. Privind nelept i vistor n urm i n viitor, poate azi e ca i cum am

putea dobndi o schi din cele fcute de Brncui pentru Miastra

Tocmai am citit cum Academia, n anii 50, a respins cererea artistului

de a-i dona ntreaga oper Romniei, pe motiv c e formalist i fr

valoare real. Ce mult ne nva arta timpului nostru!

the art of your time

What is to be done with contemporary art? I mean here, in

Romania, because in most other places from Western

Europe to China and Brazil the question has been settled:

contemporary art is understood and wanted. It is an asset which sells in

close competition with gold.

Other peoples certainty still eludes us. Most people including

art collectors in Romania still see contemporary art as high risk, to

be explored with caution. Our comfort zone is in the esthetics of the

old masters. Contemporary techniques and themes are often seen as

awkward and at times downright unintelligible: the face of this woman

does not look like a real face and these owers are hazy; there is no

perfect polish in the carved wood and this canvas is no canvas at all, it

is some sort of plastic foil; these dolls wearing purple lace have a hole in

their head and this video runs in a loop for ever.

Fair enough. But we at the AnnArt Gallery believe passionately

in the many-faces of beauty in contemporary art and in its power toteach and give joy, to single us out, to contain and generate value. And

in Basel this summer I learned that our seemingly eccentric business

selection criteria (art which we enjoy) is statistically valid. Barclays

Wealth Insights Prot or Pleasure? report ranks the motives for art

investment worldwide as follows: 62% for pure enjoyment, 37% for their

children and grandchildren, 35% because art is part of their culture and

18% (sic!) for pure nancial investment.

For us, the artists in our current portfolio represent solid value,

no exception. Some you know well - Sorin Ilfoveanu and tefan Clia

are iconic characters in Romanian culture; some, better-known in the

countries which half-adopted them, you have recently discovered Paul Neagu, Laura Covaci, Dorin Creu or Mircea Roman. And others,

like Francisc Chiuariu, Adrian Ilfoveanu or Vladimir etran re-emerge to

public attention from the somewhat withdrawn universe of their work.

Four of these are listed in the recently-published Top 100 Most Valuable

Romanian Painters of All Times. One is the holder of a quite unique

international art award. Some have spectacular auction sales results. All

are in the private art collections of the connoisseurs.

We believe that any of the artists above is a sure bet.

Nevertheless, with our each and every new exhibition we in fact dare

you overcome your disquiet about the non-familiar. We invite you to

be among the brave and the self-condent who look the art of their time

straight in the eye. Tonitza was once a contemporary most people didnot pay much notice to him when, in the 1920s, back from Munich, he

was painting, in somewhat vague brush strokes, people in queue for

bread. Other people, fewer but on the winning side, could perceive the

meaningful emotion and the value in the work of that unusual artist

who was their contemporary.

Therefore, never miss a chance to look at contemporary art

wherever you can. It is quite possible that you might have the decisive

encounter the one which turns you from spectator into art collector.

This is quite a special step in ones life, as it anchors you beautifully into

the future. It would please me no end if more and more such encounters

take place at AnnArt.

In December, our Christmas gift is the Small Big Art exhibition,

with drawings, preparatory sketches or simply small-size paintings. At

way below 1,000, all these works obviously cost less than the rate for

a regular piece by their authors but all these works contain the full value

of an original work. Reecting on the past, with a dreamy and wise eye

to the future, why not imagine that now may be like when somebody

acquired one of those sketches which Brncui made in preparation for

Miastra I have just read that, in the 50, the Academy turned down

Brncuis offer to donate his entire work to Romania on the grounds

that the work was formalist and without real value. Lessons to learn

from the art of our time!

Remarcabil gnditor al formei, ridicnd n spaiu o oper de anvergur european,Paul Neagu este portalul britanic prin care arta romneasc a pit n secolul 21.

Having trained in painting at the National University of Art in Bucharest, Neagu opted fromthe start for a conceptual-abstract approach to art, which became the hallmark of hisentire oeuvre, from graphic art to sculpture, installation and performance. Having movedto London in the early 70s to pursue his creative vision, Neagu also taught at the RoyalCollege of Art and later at the Slade School of Art and Hornsey School of Art, where he hadan outstanding inuence on younger artists such as Anish Kapoor. He had solo exhibitionsin prestigious venues the Hayward Gallery in London, Great Britain, the Museum ofContemporary Art in Los Angeles, USA, the Modern Art Museum in Paris, France, the MNACin Bucharest and the Brukental Museum in Sibiu, Romania.

Lucrrile sale au fost achiziionate de ctreguvernul francez pentru Fondul Naional de Art Contemporan din Frana precum i dectre Muzeul Naional de Art Contemporan din Bucureti pentru colecia sa permanent.

Stri mentale i emoii deduse din diafanul lumii vegetale, captate n manier

A well-known member of the 80 Generation of visual artists, Creu moved to Paris in 1990where he received an arts grant from the French Ministry of Culture. He became an activeexhibitor, his rst one-man show opening at the Galerie Municipale de Vitry-sur-Seine.This was followed, among others, by the retrospective exhibition organized in Romania atMogooaia Palace Cultural Centre, later shown at the Art Museum in Constana (2008-2009). He took part in numerous exhibitions in Paris, London, Cracow and Taipei. In 2012 heheld a solo show at the Galerie Charlotte Norberg in Paris followed by artZoom exhibitionat the AnnArt Gallery in Bucharest. His creative approach places him at the intersectionbetween the abstract and the non-gurative, illustrated in his outstanding series Traitsand Vegetales. He developed a highly individual technique which gives a transparent-reective quality to his works, with an effect of enigmatic movement of his geometric andoral motifs. Works by the artist were acquired by the French National Contemporary ArtFund (FNAC) as well as by the National Museum of Contemporary Art of Romania.

States of mind and emotion subtly emerging from a translucid vegetal world arecaptured in abstract mode, imbued in self-contained lyricism.
