Euro 2.450 "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".

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               Luc TUYMANS Fenêtres Series of 7 black and white plates, loose in a portofolio.

Ludion, 2012, #63.2. 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.               We are interested in purchasing artist books, multiples, prints and unique works of art by this artist.
