What is Found Object?

A found object is a term used to describe a man-made or natural object, or a fragment of one, that an artist discovers or purchases and keeps for inspiration or as a work of art.

Authenticity

Authenticity

Authenticity refers to the qualities that define an original artwork as genuine, created by the artist under the original circumstances. A reproduction lacks authenticity because it was not made by the original artist and does not share the same context or creation process. The authenticity of an original artwork can be questioned when reproductions exist, which can diminish its value. Authenticity is often established through provenance, expert analysis, and documentation, ensuring the artwork's originality.

Figuration Libre

Figuration Libre

(150 works, 136 for sale)

Figuration Libre is an art movement that is equivalent to the French Bad Painting and Neo-Expressionism in Europe and America. The term was coined by Ben Vautier and the Fluxus movement. In 1981, Robert Combas, François Boisrond, Hervé Di Rosa, and Rémi Blanchard formed the Figuration Libre group. The term can be interpreted as free style art, emphasizing spontaneity, freedom, and a rejection of traditional artistic conventions.

Hyper modernism

Hyper modernism

Hypermodernism is a cultural and artistic movement that emerged in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, characterized by an intense embrace of technology and a focus on speed, complexity, and the future. This movement often challenges traditional modernist values by emphasizing hyper-reality, where the boundaries between reality and virtuality blur. Hypermodernism is evident in architecture, design, and visual arts, where artists and creators use advanced digital tools and futuristic aesthetics to explore themes of globalization, identity, and the impact of technology on society.
