As Michael Buhrs, director Museum Villa Stuck in Munich writes it � As the point of departure for their photo series TOYGIANTS , the artists Daniel and Geo Fuchs use the, to a certain extent, highly political world of toy figures, which are sold and traded internationally. The artists created portraits of toys in large-sized prints: American comic heroes of the 1960s; muscle-bound fantasy figures; Japanese Manga superstars; actors and directors such as Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone and Quentin Tarantino; even world-leaders such as George W. Bush and his opponent Saddam Hussein; or artists such as Andy Warhol who are presented as "toys".� Daniel & Geo Fuchs, n�s en 1966 et 1969, vivent et travaillent conjointement depuis 15 ans en Allemagne. Leurs productions photographiques, souvent de grande ampleur, ont �t� pr�sent�es en Europe et aux Etats-Unis. Comme l��crit Michael Buhrs, directeur du Mus�e Villa Stuck � Munich � Daniel et Geo Fuchs plongent le visiteur dans l�univers de personnages vendus comme jouets partout dans le monde, univers qui est � sa mani�re hautement politis�. Les artistes ont photographi� ces jouets et r�alis�s des tirages grand format repr�sentant des h�ros de BD am�ricaines des ann�es 60, des personnages fantastiques tout en muscles, des stars de l�univers japonais des Mangas, mais aussi des acteurs et metteurs en sc�ne comme Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone, Quentin Tarantino. M�me des artistes comme Andy Warhol, des leaders mondiaux comme George W. Bush et son ennemi Saddam Hussein sont pr�sent�s ici tels des �jouets�.� Limited Edition focus Discover our new Prints Department with a special display of a large selection of limited edition art pieces from monotypes by JonOne, silkscreens by Shepard Fairey, prints by Vuk Vidord by Miss Vananand high quality lithographs by JR D�couvrez � l'occasion de ce vernissage notre nouveau d�partement Editions d'art avec une s�lection de nombreuses oeuvres limit�es incluant des monotypes in�dits de JonOne, des s�rigraphies de Shepard Fairey, de Vuk Vidor, de Miss Van et des lithographies de JR |
