Look what I've found for you today! A unique sculpture that can only be seen in Paris in this particular gallery - precisely called "Galerie Pièce Unique". If I'm right, this masterpiece was made by an artist called Cyrille André (funny picture of him here). The gallery is located in the 6th arrondissement, rue Mazarine where a lot of art can be found.
I like the angular quality. Wonder what they're made of?
ReplyDeleteLynn, how do you manage to be the first commenter each time???
ReplyDeleteI also wonder what they're made of. Oh Michael, won't you please lead us in a lively rendition of "Who Let the Dogs Out?"
ReplyDeletehe he i don't know! I suppose we're both as tired as each other and i've just posted mine you see, so then i pop over here and there you are. At first i was trying! Now it seems, well let's just say shall we, Eric; Great minds think alike!
ReplyDeleteDid anybody notice what nice collars the dogs have on? Very fancy!
ReplyDeleteEric, Lynn is stalking you... that's why she's the first every night ... ;-)
lol Monica ! My intention was to go to bed early tonight but i didn't get there - too much to do so i could have posted later after all. I think i AM teacher's pet now...:)

ReplyDeleteI must be early. I wonder what's wrong.
ReplyDeleteI like this idea for a gallery.
I was about to say it's this sort of thing that makes Paris so wonderful, but this sort of thing plus about a thousand other sorts of things are what make Paris wonderful.
Where is the urinal?

bronze, leather, steel, diamonds
(Hmm, sounding a bit kinky...)
Great photo. Gotta remember this gallery.
Oh no Pont Girl, it can't be "Who let the dogs out?"...I think "How Much is that Doggy in the Window?" is much more appropriate, don't you?
ReplyDeleteHow much are those doggies in the window?
The ones with the price tag so chér;
How much are those doggies in the window?
I wonder why they have no hair...
Ok, sorry, it's the best I can do at this early in the morning.
Jeff, I hate to contradict someone as reliable and informed as you, but I did some sniffing, around on the Piece Unique website and found this about the sculpture:
ReplyDelete"Parade", 2007
polyester resin - Unique (CA 027)
figure: cm 250 x 150 x 120
dogs: cm 120 x 65 x 160 each
What it doesn't say is how much are the doggies in the window.
Sorry, comment #3 today...
ReplyDeleteHere is a link to more about this particular piece with some explanation along with some other work by the artist.
Lynn I know you are teacher´s pet, but see what great students Michael and Jeff are!!! I think you have two excellent contenders.
ReplyDeleteEnough is enough!
ReplyDeleteLynn, get off Eric! He is mine, the boy is mine!

Sweet Eric, how are you this evening my darling...missed me?

Wow! You seem to have quite a competition for your attention Eric. Not only Lynn and Monica are in this race, but now Anne, then of course there is Michael.
ReplyDeleteHope you choose wisely.
As to the photo well, you are clearly know how to keep your audience interested. Hope all is all-right with you.
Clo
Hey Clo! Nice to hear from you
ReplyDeleteBonjour Eric, je trouve que le niveau des photos baisse un peu en ce moment. C'est dommage car je me régale tous les jours à les admirer... Pas facile de trouver l'aspiration tous les jours...
ReplyDeleteGood job on the research, Michael. It was late last night and I didn't take time for any, just made it up. Sort of like wine reviews: a body of bronze with a scintillating sparkle of diamonds, underlaid with a steel lead and a tinge of leather.
ReplyDeleteGreat lyrics, aussi.
By the way, shall I "drop by" in late April or early May? It's the weather I'm wondering about.
Hot looking artist, scary looking sculpture.
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoy your comments, Michael. You, too, Jeff.
Very interesting, Mr. Mutt, I get it (Duchamp?).
J'adore cette sculpture.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...rather like a "Papier-mâché" project gone awry. "Dogs in Bondage"?? Interesting, but a bit bizarre...wouldn't want to have to see it everyday..LOL!
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, the link to the galerie itself is really interesting!! Merci!
My goodness what a fracas! Shall it be cameras at dawn?
ReplyDeleteIntriguing art display. I actually like this sort of art. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteMerci, Michael - I concede: your version is more aptly suited ;)
ReplyDeleteAnne a dit...
ReplyDeleteEnough is enough!
Lynn, get off Eric! He is mine, the boy is mine!
ROFL!!!!!!
Nice shot Eric. La Pièce Unique is really my favourite gallery in the 5th. They always have stuff there that makes you think, even if you don't like it...
