asana15 16,648 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 From Lady Gaga's Instagram stories ...George Condo is the New York-based painter, now at Sprüth Magers Gallery for his first L.A. solo exhibition since 1999. Most of the 11 bracing paintings, all from the last two years, start in modern Spain. Goya and Picasso are launching pads for Condo’s irresistible scribbling. Lady Gaga purchased one of three paintings based on Goya’s tender, full-length portrait of noble Spanish writer Maria Rita Barrenechea, Marquesa de La Solana. Tall, erect, poised and set before an expansive but darkening landscape, she wears a traditional black dress and embroidered slippers. Perched atop her head is a big, eccentric floral bow in bright pink. Condo somewhat simplifies Goya’s forms, before disrupting her face with a furious scrawl. He shreds the delicate lace shawl around her shoulders. The Marquesa’s gaunt and sallow face, which spoke of her imminent death, is obliterated. Like Goya, Condo paints an agonizing wrestling match with mortality and love, albeit in a tone more despairing than melancholic... http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/arts/la-et-george-condo-spruth-magers-20160503-snap-story.html http://www.spruethmagers.com/artists/george_condo@@viewq3 Regarding the purchase price: based on the painting's description and latest sale prices from major auction houses for his artwork, I would venture to guess it's in the vicinity of $200K - $300K . https://www.artsy.net/artist/george-condo/auction-results?sort=-auction_date PS: Christian "Chrissy" helped to hang the painting up.

ProdigyARTPOP 3,909 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 beautiful painting. believe it or not. i feel like this all ties in with music. usually everything around her, or things she picks out can kind of signal what mood or vibe she’s in, which translates to songwriting, aka music. i would know. i’m like this.
