In 2012 Jef Aerosol celebrates his 30 years carreer anniversary of street stencils.

For the occasion, at the Musee en Herbe in Paris currently showcasing a Keith Haring Exhibition, he presents his stencil portraits of Keith Haring and pays tribute to the New York scene of the 60s-80s that greatly inspired him.

This exhibition is also part of L’Explosition! project which presents 15 international established street artists together with new artists. Jef Aerosol is exhibiting together with Swing.

Paris: FIAC Coverage

October 31, 2011 butterfly

As seen on Arrested Motion.

Following the Frieze week in London (covered here), I headed off to Paris to visit the FIAC, the Foire Internationale d’Art Contemporain in Paris at the Grand Palais, host to 168 galleries. While Frieze focuses exclusively on contemporary art, the FIAC also combines early 20th century modern art with the contemporary.

Of interest, Karl Lagerfeld designed the booth of Zurich’s Gallery Gmurzynska for the Rebels curated by Isabelle Bscher and featuring Jean-Michel Basquiat, Lucio Fontana, Yves Klein, Andy Warhol as well as Banksy and Scott Campbell. Also, sales were good as reported by Galerie Perrotin who sold a large-scale painting by Takashi Murakami titledAs The Interdimensional Waves Run Through Me, I Can Distinguish Between The Voices Of Angel And Devil! on the first day for over $2 million.
