Portfolio of 6 lithographs

Stars, portfolio by Ugo Rondinone is a 2009 lithograph series that captures the vast, serene beauty of a starlit sky. This portfolio consists of six individual prints, each depicting a unique section of a star-filled cosmos against a deep, dark background. The scattered, delicate white dots resemble stars or cosmic dust, evoking an ethereal quality as if looking through a telescope into the universe. Rondinone's use of minimalism highlights the boundless nature of space, invoking feelings of wonder and introspection. Measuring 98 cm by 67 cm per print, this portfolio invites viewers to immerse themselves in the sublime stillness of the night sky, where the vastness of space is both overwhelming and mesmerizing.

Ugo Rondinone (Switzerland, 1964) is a multidisciplinary artist renowned for his vibrant land art installations, such as 'Seven Magic Mountains' (2016–2021), featuring towering stacks of fluorescently painted stones. His diverse body of work spans sculpture, painting, and video, often exploring themes of nature, time, and human experience.

I see art-making as a ritual, a meditation for myself.
- Ugo Rondinone

Acclaimed for his range of contemporary paintings and large-scale sculptures, Ugo Rondinone is a mixed-media artist whose works often incorporate bright, fluorescent colours and iconographic images; his most notable work is his Seven Magic Mountains land-art sculpture comprised of seven, fluorescently- painted totems of large, limestone boulders stacked to reach a maximum height of 32ft. Rondinone’s paintings often feature several brightly coloured, concentric rings that form a target shape – his Small Sun series of paintings succinctly exemplify this particular trademark and simultaneously evoke feelings of euphoria and reflection. In combining such psychedelic colours and various cliché phrases such as ‘Hell, Yes!’ throughout his work, Rondinone is exploring the world around him and his place and identity within it and has stated that “I see art-making as a ritual, a meditation for myself...The energy of art is that you can spend time with yourself.”

What is pop-art?

Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
