Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein Bertrand Lavier

Bertrand Lavier (b. 1949) counts among the most formative figures in the development of French art since the late 1970s. He finds the subject of his work in the dynamic context between high culture and pop culture. His oeuvre is intelligent and original, visually attractive and possessed of subtle wit. Lavier gained international fame with his paintings on pictures and objects and with his »Superpositions,« works created by setting objects from the world of commodities on top of each other. Over the years Lavier has begun a number of other groups of works, that he develops in parallel on an ongoing basis. He refers to these projects as »construction sites«, thus emphasizing their nature as works in progress. By deploying a wide range of materials and techniques, the aim is to achieve a finely balanced combination of various genres of art: painting with photography, painting with object, sculpture with object, object with photography, object with sculpture, design with sculpture. Despite frequent references to key works from the history of art, Lavier works in a broader field of visual and intellectual cultural anthropology. His work is hence of particular significance for the development of art over the past forty years and highly relevant.
