Item Number: 137293 Title: Don't shoot the Painter. Dipinti dalla UBS Art Collection Author: Bonami, Francesco (ed) Price: Not Available ISBN: 9788857229706 Description: Milano: Skira, 2015. 28cm., hardcover, 272pp. illus. Exhibition held at GAM, Milano. Italian-English text. Summary: Don’t shoot the painter is an ironic reference to classic western movies, in which the painter is compared to a saloon pianist: every time that the ideas and languages of art become too confused and make it difficult to understand the meaning of individual elements, painting focuses everyone’s attention on what we can all understand and interpret, just like a pianist’s music brings peace back to the room at the end of western movies. So, don’t shoot the painter! Listen to his music! Artists include: John Armleder, John Baldessari, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Michaël Borremans, Alice Channer, Sandro Chia, Francesco Clemente, Enzo Cucchi, Gunther Förg, Gilbert & George, Katharina Grosse, Andreas Gursky, Damien Hirst, Alex Katz, Bharti Kher, Gerhard Richter, Thomas Struth, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Mark Tansey and Christopher Wool.
