The exhibition “Russian operas, at the dawn of the Ballets Russes” presents 130 costumes made for the masterpieces of Russian opera (Boris Godunov, Kovantchina, Ivan the Terrible, Snegourotchka) presented in Paris between 1908 and 1913, for the most part by Diaghilev, then reused until the middle of the 20th century at the Opéra de Paris. Costume sketches, work documents, iconographic sources of inspiration and photographs are also included.
These costumes, ranging from historic magnificence to an unequalled modernity, all come from the Opéra National de Paris, where they arrived through the flukes of history, the successes of productions and the failures of businesses, thanks to purchases from theatre houses (such as the Bolchoi) or from companies (such as those of Serge Diaghilev and Sir Thomas Beecham). They are preserved today either in the collections of the Bibliothèque-Musée de l’Opéra, BNF, or at the CNCS or also at the Nouveau Musée National de Monaco. The entire range of opera characters, historical or from legends, of Mussorgsky and Rimsky-Korsakov are represented in this collection: tsars, boyars, guards, and above all the common people of Russia, the great protagonists of Russian opera.

The Ballets Russes Company, under the direction of impresario Serge Diaghilev, had a major impact on the nature of ballet in the western world from the early years of the 20th Century. Employing the most talented and creative dancers, choreographers, designers and composers, the company created spectacles of sound, colour and movement, often with an oriental or folk tale theme, that they toured throughout Europe and America.
In 1921 Diaghilev mounted ‘The Sleeping Princess’ based on the Russian Mariinsky Theatre’s ballet ‘The Sleeping Beauty’ of 1890, with Tchaikovsky’s music and Marius Petipa’s choreography, slightly adapted, and new costumes and sets by Léon Bakst. It opened on November 2nd, 1921 at the Alhambra Theatre in London with the intention of a long run; however, it was not a success and closed after a hundred and fourteen performances, having had insufficient audiences to cover the expenses of numerous costumes and ambitious sets. The costumes were impounded to cover Diaghilev’s debts to the theatre, and went into storage.

Richard Artschwager at Gagosian Rome
December 21, 2020
RICHARD ARTSCHWAGER
Opening reception: Thursday, Janary 14, 12–8pm
January 14–April 24, 2021
Via Francesco Crispi 16, Rome
__________
Form always begins with a something. And then if that something occurs in another place, there is slippage involved and what is created as a result develops a parallel existence to the original thing.
I have located my art in terms of reducing all objects to the attention they demand. This gives me a good shot at innovation, to put it boldly.
—Richard Artschwager
Gagosian is pleased to present an exhibition of works by the late Richard Artschwager from a key period in his career, 1964–87.
Associated with many genres but conforming to none, Artschwager’s art has been variously described as Pop, because of its incorporation of quotidian objects and commercial materials; as Minimal, due to its crisp forms and solid geometric presence; and as Conceptual, owing to its cerebral engagement with information. This rare survey of the early decades of Artschwager’s varied career demonstrates his ability to rearrange the structures of perception, bringing the deceptive pictorial world of images into direct confrontation with the concretely human world of objects.
Through shifts in scale and transpositions of form and material, Artschwager’s artworks prompt an ongoing reassessment of space and time, suggesting compound narratives and compositional complexities, often at once quotidian and surreal. Employing synthetic, commercial, and industrial materials, Artschwager transformed his sources with a deadpan visual wit that makes the familiar strange. In 1962 he began working with Formica, a radically unconventional and “low” material, then most closely associated with the slippery surface of lunch counters. Its high-shine, typically marbled finish is both recognizable from everyday life and bears an abstract resemblance to expressionist painting. The early 1960s also marked the beginning of Artschwager’s experiments with Celotex, a heavily textured compound board made from compressed sugarcane fiber, which he used as a ground for his singular grisaille paintings, the waywardness of the industrial material blurring and obscuring his hand-drawn lines. These compositions were often based on subjects both arcane and mundane; Interior (1964), for example, is a semiabstract, diagrammatic perspectival image of a domestic setting, narrowing as depth perception progresses.
Artschwager’s sculptural works demonstrate the ways in which he integrated artisanal skills into intellectual and formal experiments in perception and composition. In Sliding Door (1964), the door of a cabinet casts a shadow within the work’s pale interior, generating a constantly changing pattern that shifts along with light and the motion of the viewer around the object. Untitled (1965), made from Formica and wood, uses a circle’s curvature in the same way; while nonfunctional, it mimics the utilitarian aesthetic of an audio speaker or household appliance, demonstrating Artschwager’s ability to meet our expectations of an object or picture only to then subvert them.
A fully illustrated bilingual catalogue will be published on the occasion of the exhibition, with an essay by curator Dieter Schwarz.
Richard Artschwager was born in 1923 in Washington, DC, and died in 2013 in Albany, New York. Collections include Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, Germany; Museum Ludwig, Cologne, Germany; Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, Germany; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Tate, London; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; and Art Institute of Chicago. Exhibitions include Painting Then and Now, Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami, FL (2003); Up and Down/Back and Forth, Deutsche Guggenheim Berlin (2003); Hair, Contemporary Art Museum, Saint Louis (2010); Richard Artschwager!, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (2012, traveled to Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Haus der Kunst, Munich; and Nouveau Musée National de Monaco); and Punctuating Space: The Prints and Multiples of Richard Artschwager, Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center, Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, NY (2015).
A retrospective of Artschwager’s work curated by the late Germano Celant opened at the Museo di Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Trento e Rovereto, Italy, in October 2019, and traveled to the Guggenheim Bilbao Museum in February 2020.
