"sell his mother to the highest bidder

artist mother also works Papeschi

Giovanna Papeschi Initially I was not convinced. A mother all slow to accept the idea that his son has decided to sell to the highest bidder. But in the end the prospect that he could "go into art history," according to phone Max Papeschi graphic artist, ended his doubts




Thus, on 9 April at the opening of the exhibition of his son Oops I did it again in the gallery Contemporary Renaissance Genoa (Italy), she will sit in a chair on a pedestal with a sign that will, as if a work either, its dimensions and materials of which it is made. The price? "It will be a negotiation booked, it is the mysterious Papeschi.

His early works were controversial photographic collages in which Mickey Mouse was accompanied with a giant swastika or the pope wore the head of Bart Simpson. Papeschi was the vision of a globalized world in which decisions are made by multinationals. " But now the artist's provocations have advanced light years. "I would be willing to sell even their mother just to have success, make money or whatever." It's a phrase we've all heard hundreds of times. I have only really decided to do, "said the Italian artist seriously.

Papeschi says he hopes to reach deals on everything from museums or foundations and are in millions of euros. For no one is left with empty hands, the operator has increased its provocation by six. Many are reproductions of his mother (six actresses) that also will sell, "because nowadays everything in contemporary art is reproducible, of all the works are seven or eight copies."

And what once acquired Mrs. Papeschi? "We signed a contract and it's yours, you take her wherever you want, provided you treat it. And let me go see her every two weeks," the Italian artist has fun. The package also includes a sort of survival kit that Mrs. easily get used to their new environment: family photos, blankets, books and his favorite food.

Out of paradox, the artist admits he wants to draw attention to "l as new generations of artists ito Ex-thirsty." And he, "about 40 y ear s" and only has two in the world of art, is not it possesses one of them? "No, because I came to this environment or chance p [e ra d irector and NIST gui or theater, his first painting was actually the fi manifest this in one of his works] and I will stay until no fun," responds . He also wants to focus on the reaction that the sale of his mother s cause in attending the exhibition. In fact, going to record visitors and is "curious" to know what visitors will ask.

Oops I did it again last until May 7 and will feature all photographic compositions that have made Papeschi establishment of a small hollow of notoriety, from the McDonald clown at the gate of Auschwitz to the Donald Duck in the midst of war Vietnam. Surely these same works have also gained an artist portfolio in the last two years has exhibited in Germany, India, Poland, UK, Switzerland and Sweden, though mostly in samples of group. However Papeschi dodge over and over questions about sales and the economic value of their creations. "It's like asking about his age to a lady", is shirking. At least his mother will come on April 9 on a placard. We must offer guarantees to the buyer.
