Watercolored drawing. DELEPIERRE. Banque Belge Belgisch Bank. Watercolored drawing. 1340x1800 mm. Inscriptions: on top left: 'Projet d'une Banque'; on the right Ecole Saint Luc de Tournai, 7me Annee d'Etude'; in the middle: 'Travail et Progres / Du Capital et de la Securité Je represente la Force'. In the drawin, in the middle of the two towers, the french and german title: 'Banque Belge' - ' Belgisch Bank'. Splendid bank project, in a modernist style. The monumental facade and two perspectives of architectural and decorative details are depicted. The grandeur of the building is highlighted by the immense colonnade that adorns the facade: the columns give a character of stability to the building so that the architecture inspires trust and safety to the public, as indicated in the inscription in large letters.Emile Delepierre, architect from Tournai, 1910-1983, created several important buildings in Tournai, first in the Art Deco style, then in the Modernist style. he was particularly versed in the "paquebot" style, characteristic of large public complexes. The city of Tournai consecrated a major exhibition in 2018 to its major architects, including Delepierre in the foreground.Modernist architecture appeared in Belgium in 1919 and developed in the 1920s and 1930s. The Institut Saint-Luc de Tournai was founded in 1878 as a drawing school: in the 20th century it became a major school of architecture; in 1936 it had 500 students.

JonOne (né en 1963) Untitled (ephemeral hospital period) 1990 Acrylic on canvas signed and dated on back 80 x 80 cm Condition report: Framed John Perello began tagging the subways of his native New York under the name Jon156. He soon renamed himself JonOne. With his graffiti friends Rac7 and Kyle, he founded the 156 All Starz collective. Now living in Paris, with a strong attachment to urban art, he transposes the freedom, colors, vitality and techniques of graffiti onto canvas, exploring the practices of American action painting and European lyrical abstraction. This painting is part of the Hôpital éphémère project, launched in Paris in 1990 by Caroline Andrieux and Christophe Pasquet. The then-abandoned Bretonneau hospital in the 18th arrondissement was transformed into an arts center, with artists' studios, exhibition halls, workshops, recording studios, concert halls, dance and theater studios... The project lasted 7 years and enabled 200 artists to express and showcase their art. Among them was JonOne, who painted his first canvases here. "I had no artistic education. When I was tagging trains in New York, I couldn't imagine that one day I'd be expressing myself on canvas. What really got me into tagging was seeing other people painting graffiti all over the city. The school I went to was very strict. And so boring! I remember that back then, people on the street had freedom. I didn't want what America offered me: a job, a nice suit and a pretty house. I met A-One (Anthony Clark 1964-2001). He used to hang out with Jean-Michel Basquiat (Brooklyn, New-York, December 22, 1960 - August 12, 1988). A-One was the link between the street and the art world. He would travel to Europe and come back with a lot of money, simply because of his art. I'd listen to his travel tales and my eyes would sparkle with envy. Back then in New York, I was like a lot of people today: I hung out in front of my apartment building. In those days, I didn't leave my neighborhood either. Thanks to A-One, I began to take my work seriously, to see it not as vandalism but simply as art."

CANDIDA HÖFER (Germany, 1944). "Deutsche Oper am Rhein Düsseldorf," 2012. Photograph, c-print, copy 97/100. Signed and numbered on the back. Measurements: 30 x 45.5 cm; 48 x 63 cm (frame). "Deutsch Oper am Rhein Düsseldorf" is part of a project called "In Portugal", which the artist realized between 2005 and 2006. The series consists of a selection of photographs taken in public places throughout the country. Characteristic of Candida Höfer, the artist has photographed empty interiors of libraries, museums, palaces and theaters, focusing on cultural spaces free of human presence. The self-imposed thematic constraints evident in her project are both cultural and formal in nature. The baroque, modern and contemporary interiors that Höfer captures through her lens offer a "formal portrait of the social itself," as it has been defined in Europe since the Enlightenment. Candida Höfer began her career in 1968 working as a portrait photographer for various newspapers and, from 1970, as an assistant to Werner Bokelberg. Later, between 1973 and 1982, she attended the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, first studying film with Ole John, and later photography with Bernd Becher. Together with Thomas Ruff, Höfe was Becher's first student to use color photography, showing her work in slide form. She began making her famous interiors of public buildings in 1979, still during her student period. Eventually fame would come to him thanks to his series of photographs focusing on the lives of immigrant workers in Germany. Höfer's work is part of the tradition of German photographers directly inherited from the conceptual aesthetics and the teachings of Bernd and Hilla Becher from the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf, who readapted the original project of the New Objectivity to adopt a unique way of facing the world. Following the working method initiated by their teachers, their photographs show an almost ethnographic interest in the multiplicity of forms of representation of contemporary culture, relating in a very particular way to the scenarios where society moves and knowledge develops. Höfer's are interiors of buildings, preferably for public use such as museums, churches, theaters or opera houses, archives and libraries, which are photographed when they have ceased all activity and are empty. Specializing in large formats, her photographs are taken from a classic frontal angle, or they seek a sharp diagonal that organizes the composition. The artist tends to photograph her scenes from a high viewpoint, so that the wall in the background is centered in relation to the final image. She held her first solo exhibition in 1975 at the Konrad Fischer Gallery in Düsseldorf. Since then, Höfer's work has been exhibited in leading museums around the world, such as the Kunsthalle in Basel, Hamburg and Bern, the Louvre in Paris, the Portikus in Frankfurt am Main, the MoMA in New York, the Power Plant in Toronto, the Kunsthaus in Bregenz, the Ludwig Museum in Cologne or, in our country, at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Vigo. Likewise, in 2002 he participated in Documenta 11, and in 2003 he represented Germany at the Venice Biennale, together with Martin Kippenberger. On the other hand, between 1997 and 2000 she combined her artistic practice with teaching, which she did at the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Karlsruhe. She is currently represented at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Hamburger Banhof in Berlin, the Kunsthalle in Nuremberg, the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Trento, the Museum of Contemporary Photography at Columbia College in Chicago, the Fundación Telefónica in Madrid and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, among other public and private collections.
