presents
Yves Klein/John Cage: PLAYING WITH FIRE
curated by Joachim Pissarro

And Important Works of Art Featuring Jean-Michel Basquiat, Fernando Botero, 
Louise Nevelson, Tom Wesselmann, Andy Warhol, and Robert Indiana

Art Basel Miami Beach, Booth B2, December 1-4, 2011

NEW YORK, NY (November 28, 2011)Galerie Gmurzynska is proud to exhibit important works of art at Art Kabinett and Art Public, part of Art Basel Miami Beach, December 1–4, 2011.

One of the highlights is a collaborative show titled Yves Klein/John Cage: PLAYING WITH FIRE, two of the most influential artists of their generation, curated by Joachim Pissarro. While each artist is widely recognized for his innovative and experimental artistic principles and practices—especially in his respective native country— rarely have they been seriously discussed together. The exhibition will mine and explore one particularly intriguing affinity between these two formative artists: their attraction to and manipulation of fire as an art-making tool.

Other works of art to be exhibited include: Jean-Michel Basquiat: Untitled (Car Crash, December 1980); Fernando Botero: The Street (2010); Robert Indiana: Indiana (1979) and Golden Circles (1959-2000); Yves Klein: F 125 (Diptychon, 1961); Louise Nevelson: Untitled (1976-78); Andy Warhol: Sylvester Stallone (1980); Tom Wesselmann: Smoking Cigarette #1 (1980).

For the first time, Galerie Gmurzynska will participate in Art Public in collaboration with the Bass Museum of Art to showcase Robert Indiana’s sculpture: ART; Red Blue (1979/2001) which will be on view at Collins Park, Miami Beach. Admission is free and open to the general public.

Art Basel Miami Beach (Art Kabinett), Booth B2 is located at the Miami Beach Convention Center, Miami Beach, FL, December 1-4, 2011, daily from noon to 8pm, Sunday until 6pm. Press preview: Wednesday, November 30, 10am to 9pm; Vernissage: 6pm to 9pm. Visit www.artbaselmiamibeach.com
