I’m partly curious as to what people’s favourite works of art are, and I’m partly hoping to discover something new. All art is welcome. Music, painting, sculpture, architecture, performance, video, litterature, plays etc. Everything goes!
While impossible to make a definitive personal list, my best attempt at a top 5 that live in my head rent free at the moment is:
-
Danse Sacrée by Victor Ségoffin in the Musée d’Orsay in Paris.
-
Wheat Field with Cypresses at the Haute Galline Near Eygalieres by Van Gogh
What are your top 5?
Visual arts:
‘Happy Person Having a Pleasant Conversation in Public’ by Randy Ortiz
Jackson Pollock’s ‘One: Number 31, 1950’
works by Aidan Hughes aka ‘Brute!’, namely his album covers for KMFDM and in particular ‘Split’
Music:
nearly everything by Mamaleek: try the albums ‘Diner Coffee’ and ‘Vida Blue’ (gotta note that I have no idea what the lyrics are, but what I deciphered of their other songs is somewhat abstract, so eh)
Last Exit at Deutsches Jazzfestival, Frankfurt, 1986 (with my favorite musician: bassist and producer Bill Laswell)
Nurse With Wound’s ‘Homotopy To Marie’
For performance, perhaps Meredith Monk’s ‘Turtle Dreams’, shot by Ping Chong. But I’m not an aficionado of the form.
Hey man, I said top FIVE. You’re cheating! ;) Kidding, of course. Thanks
