Tom Sachs : Handmade Paintings

Tom Sachs is a famous American visual artist who made a name for himself when he started out in 1994 by creating windows for Barneys stores entitled “Hello Kitty Nativity”. He then recreates a Christmas scene in which Hello Kitty replaces the Virgin Mary.

The media revelation will come in 1999 with an exhibition at the Mary Boone Gallery in Manhattan. It features replica weapons accompanied by live 9mm ammunition, bullets that visitors can take home as souvenirs. The result is final, the gallery owner will be arrested for arms trafficking.

Here we find the most recent body of work by the popular American artist dedicated to his highly inventive interpretation of space travel, published for the first time. Scheduled to accompany exhibitions simultaneously in New York and Palm Beach, the book follows the interdisciplinary exhibition centered on the theme of spaceships by the artist.
