Beschrijving

Joep van Lieshout (Dutch 1963). Polyester and insulation material.

Condition Report:
In very good condition.

Provenance:
Galerie Fons Welters, Amsterdam.
Acquired from the above by the present owner.

Notes:
Polyester is a trademark material of Atelier Van Lieshout, founded by Joep van Lieshout in 1995. Having started with furniture and everyday objects, van Lieshout went on to construct housing units and portable homes, such as the famous Mobile Home for Kröller-Müller (1995), which is still located in the museum garden. 'In stark contrast to all Atelier van Lieshout's self-expanding structures, machines and weapons, he has also produced a series of cells and helmets in which the owner can conversely withdraw and shut himself away from the world... [They] are based on the Orgone Accumulators developed by the psychiatrist Wilhelm Reich in America towards the end of his life. Reich maintained that orgones were a mysterious, healing life-force that permeate everything. They are attracted by concentrations of themselves and, because the sealed Orgone Accumulators raise the body and air temperature by one degree, they attract more orgones. Reich's experiments finally landed him in prison and his Orgone Accumulators - dubbed 'sex boxes' by the authorities - were destroyed and many of his books and manuscripts were burned' (Lootsma, B. Skulls. In: Atelier Van Lieshout: A Manual. Rotterdam, Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, 1997, p. 173).
