Description

The present Eric, NYC, 1980 c-print is one of the precious photographic source material to Robert Longo's iconic Men in the Cities drawings. The Men in the Cities series made Robert Longo famous in the early 1980's: larger-than-life drawings of sharply dressed businesspeople writhing in contortion under the impact of an invisible, obviously violent power, a sort of death dance of the modern man. He first appropriated images from magazines, newspapers, and movie stills. Later, he began to use his friends as models, most of the figures in the art world or in the arts in general. He would bring them up on the roof of his New York City loft, rig up ropes to them, throw rubber balls, rocks and other objects at them to make them jerk, fling or fall – and take their picture. Powerful icons that, as Longo said, "exist somewhere between movies and monuments".

Presentation

Robert Longo is an American artist born in 1953 in Brooklyn, New York where he currently lives and works.

As a child, he was fascinated by cinema, magazines, comics, and television, a fascination that reflects in his artistic production. He studied sculpture at first and then decided to make a career in Visual arts, he received a scholarship to study at the Florence Academy of Fine Arts in 1972. When he returned to New York, he studied at Buffalo State College where he graduated in 1975. His teacher, Joseph Piccillo remains a big influence for him, as well as Cindy Sherman who studied in the same school and to whom he was associated.

He transforms the practice of drawing to the monumental scale of painting, using chiaroscuro effects, exploiting light, and black as main elements. His pieces are often marked with a certain political dimension due to his choice of imaging.

During the 80s, Robert Longo directed several video clips, a movie, and a short film. He was also commissioned fashion photographs by the luxury brand Bottega Veneta, but drawing has always been his favorite form of expression.

His work has been exhibited in several internationally renowned places such as at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Tate Gallery in London, the ICA in London. In 2005, he received the Goslar Kaiserring award.
