Tivoli (portfolio of 7) by Jan Fabre, published in 1990, is a portfolio of seven lithographs on silver-colored cardboard, housed in an elegant silver-toned wrapper and original box. Each print presents a detailed, blue-toned image of the Tivoli castle, reflecting its architectural form in a mirrored water surface, invoking a serene yet enigmatic atmosphere. The use of silver and blue creates a cold, ethereal effect, emphasizing the timeless and almost haunting quality of the castle and its surroundings. Fabre’s work often examines themes of beauty and decay, and this portfolio captures an aura of mystique surrounding historical architecture.

Jan Fabre (Belgium, 1958) is a multidisciplinary artist blending theater, sculpture, and performance. Known for his provocative works, he often incorporates unconventional materials like beetle wings and blood, exploring themes of transformation, mortality, and the human body.

I have a space for myself. No one comes in. No press, no curators, no gallerists.
- Jan Fabre

Renowned for his Bic ball-point pen drawings and ornate sculptures, Jan Fabre is a multi-faceted artist with works spanning across such mediums as sculpture, stage design and choreography. Heaven of Delight is perhaps one of his most notable works – for this piece, Fabre assembled around 1.4 million Jewel Beetle shells in various patterns to adorn the ceiling of Palais Royal in Brussels; Fabre has stated that he has always been fascinated by Jewel Beetles, admiring them for their ‘beauty, memory and ability to process information’. Fabre uses a wide range of unorthodox materials including blood, tears, bones and taxidermied animals; his works attempt to explore the relationships between science and art, and often challenge ‘impossible’ feats – The Man Who Measures the Clouds is just one among many works that deals with the notion of the impossible.

What is activist art?

Activist Art is a form of art created to address social and political issues. It often involves public engagement and works closely with communities to raise awareness or inspire change. While it can include elements of performance art, it is not limited to this form. Examples include creating and distributing social protest posters or organizing community-based art projects that highlight specific causes.
