"May 17, 2010, the Museum aan de Stroom (MAS) in Antwerp
unveiled a 40-square-meter stone mosaic by the renowned Belgian
artist Luc Tuymans (born 1958). The mosaic was based on Tuymans'
2002 painting "Dead Skull," now owned by the National
Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. This painting was in turn
based on a seventeenth-century plaque at the foot of Antwerp
Cathedral's north tower, commemorating Quentin Metsys (1466-1530),
founder of the Antwerp school of painting. On the occasion of
the inauguration of Tuymans' mosaic, and under the close supervision
of the artist, Graphic Matter in Belgium has published this boxed
Dead Skull edition. It contains a screenprint on Somerset Velvet
250-gram paper and a hardback book--available only within this
edition--with an introductory essay by Kate Mayne. The edition
is limited to 60 copies, numbered and signed by the artist". The publisher. |

This finally rather trivial topic, plates, is made wonderful, present, alive, glorious by the artist's eye and choice and also by the excellent editing work: the chosen format and the extremely good printing. |
This series depicts ceramic plates from the artist's
personal collection. The dinner plates, Eastern European in origin,
refer to the local ceramics industry that was once a symbol of
national pride during the communist era.
Tuymans created a mural based upon this series specially for
his show "Allo!" in the rotunda of the Mestrovic Pavilion,
Zagreb, Croatia, 2012, show organized by the Institute for the
Research of the Avant-garde and HDLU, Zagreb in collaboration
with David Zwirner |

These photographs are simply wonderful. The utilisation of the black and white, of the contrast and the choice of the subject, create the calm ethereal poetry of an intimate fantasy. |
