This is a 13 color screen print with a semi-gloss varnish on heavy weight 600gsm Somerset Tub Sized Satin paper. It is hand signed and numbered by the artist of a limited edition of 1337 copies.

Each print on this edition includes a group of mechanisms conceived by the artist to guarantee its authenticity, and as integral parts of the artwork. A debossed design includes information from the launch of Sachs' physical Too Darn Hot rocket at LACMA in 2021. A rubber stamp in its centre denotes the prints' specific number within the overall edition. There's also a QR code printed in UV ink that connects each print with the original Too Darn Hot NFT metadata on the blockchain. On the print’s reverse is a tamper-proof holographic sticker, placed alongside a QR code sticker that links to a unique token an NFT which serves as a certificate of authenticity for the print it connects with.

This work is the first limited screen printed edition based on his Rocket Factory project, a digital platform that allows users to build, buy and sell virtual rocket components each featuring branding from different companies. Too Darn Hot is a so-called Frankenrocket. A Frankenrocket is a rocket made up of three different branded components rather than a “Perfect Rocket”, which is made up of pieces featuring the same brand.

Tom Sachs, Too darn hot
United States  • 1966

Presentation

Tom Sachs is an American contemporary artist born in 1966 in New York. Known for his unique approach to sculpture, he is famous for his works that reinterpret icons of modern culture with everyday materials. Her distinctive style mixes DIY elements with influences from art movements such as pop art and minimalism.Tom Sachs benefited from a solid academic background, having studied at Bennington University where he acquired a Bachelor of Arts. His artistic career was strongly influenced by his experiences with notable figures in the art world, notably working in the studios of Frank Stella, a pioneer of post-painterly abstraction who had a notable influence on his approach to forms and structures.Sachs' artistic style is primarily characterized by the use of unconventional materials such as Tyvek, foam, plywood, and electrical appliances and hardware. These choices of materials underline the manual and often critical aspect of his works, which touch on themes such as consumption, technology, and cultural identity. His color palette tends toward neutral hues, which emphasizes the structure and form of his designs rather than the color itself.His exhibitions have been widely recognized and presented in renowned galleries, such as the Mary Boone Gallery in New York, the Baldwin Gallery in Aspen, and the Thaddaeus Ropac in Paris. These events helped to highlight his talent and establish his reputation in the international artistic community. Sachs' collaborations with other artists and brands have also played a key role in the evolution of his work, expanding his scope of action and reflection.In conclusion, Tom Sachs is an artist whose work continually challenges the boundaries between art and everyday life. His works not only question our relationship to objects, but also offer a poignant critique of modern society. The originality of his approach and his cultural impact continue to make him a notable figure in contemporary art, exploring new territories and pushing the limits of artistic creation ever further.
