Ray Ceasar solo show at Art London

October 12, 2009 butterfly Leave a comment

Richard Goodall Gallery dedicated the whole of its space at Art London to a solo show of Ray Cesar’s work.

On display are the final pieces of his earlier editions, his recent work, and one off pieces created especially for Art London 2009. The pieces transport us to the weird and wonderful world inhabited by Caesar’s impossible creations – intricate and engrossing, disturbing yet beautiful. Although there are many collectors of his work in London, this is the first time such a group has been exhibited in the capital.

To celebrate the opening of Tate Modern’s major autumn exhibition Pop Life: Art in a Material World, a giant 53 foot (16 metre) helium balloon by Jeff Koons has been unveiled today at Covent Garden in London. It is the first time that Koons’s Rabbit balloon has been shown in the UK .

Jeff Koons created the large-scale silver balloon for Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade 2007 in New York. He modelled it on his iconic metre-high stainless steel sculpture Rabbit 1986. The silver rabbit was floated down the streets of Broadway through the crowds to celebrate the occasion. Both the original sculpture and a film of the balloon in Macy’s Day Parade are included in Pop Life: Art in a Material World.

Rabbit is on display in the South Hall, Market Building, Covent Garden, London.

Pop Life: Art in a Material World is on display at Tate Modern from 1 October – 17 January 2010.
