Synopsis
This collection of bizarrely sensuous new paintings, drawings, and sculptures by the well-known New York City artist is based mainly on a complex character named Jean Louis, whose multiple personalities include a chauffeur, a butler and a maid, as well as other assorted relatives. We also meet "Uncle Joe," who's naked from the waist down and balancing a wine glass upon his raised foot, and a reclining female nude, clenching a cigarette between the fingers of an exceedingly hairy and Dr. Seuss-ish black glove. In this new, highly ironic body of work, much of which refers directly to Picasso, Condo aligns himself with a long line of art historical portraiture. His subjects are as elegant and alienating as they are absurd and comical; any notion of the classical is subverted through his outrageous morphology, as he enjoys the playful interweaving of high and low.

George Condo: Existential Portraits George Condo malt psychologisch komplexe Porträts, die sowohl das äußere Erscheinungsbild als auch die innere Verfassung seiner Charaktere bloßlegen. Seine Figuren sind Archetypen aus dem echten Leben, die er nach seiner Erinnerung und mit Fantasie modelliert. Eine große Anzahl so erfundener Charaktere gruppiert sich in dieser Serie um eine Hauptfigur mit dem Namen Jean Louis, deren multiple Persönlichkeiten einen Fahrer, einen Butler, verschiedene Dienstmädchen, einen Koch und die komplette Verwandtschaft einschließen. Daneben begegnen wir Batman und einem Playboy Bunny, Uncle Joe und dem Truck Driver, alle sind sie Bruchstücke einer Menschheit, die gegen das Aussterben kämpft, wie George Condo im Gespräch mit Ralph Rugoff sagt. "George Condo - Existential Portraits" zeigt Gemälde, Zeichnungen und Skulpturen von Anfang 2005 bis Mai 2006. Die Charaktere wandeln sich beim Durchblättern des Buchs, verraten in ihren Variationen Condos konzeptionellen Um
