Est: $1,000 - $1,500
Gysin, Brion. 1916-1986. A large abstract drawing, ink on paper, 1150 x 760 mm, unsigned and undated, made up of a black linear grid, with pooling and the occasional ink spots. Lightly browned, a few small tears to edges, some creases, damp staining at upper part of the drawing.Provenance: William S. Burroughs, gift to David Prentice (New York artist and friend).A fine large drawing by Gysin, probably part of his work with Burroughs on the "Third Mind" project, that they worked on from 1961 to 1965. Gysin used roller edges to create the linear grid. In other versions of the grid drawings he adds arabic characters, numbers or words to create a confusion of art and word. Gysin was better known in Paris, but had a retrospective in 2010 in New York at the New Museum of Contemporary Art.

Borroughs "Naked Lunch" auf farbigem Hintergrund. - Ruckseitig nochmals signiert und datiert. - Brion Gysin (1916-1986) studierte an der Sorbonne und hatte 1935 zusammen mit Kunstlern wie Picasso, Bellmer, Duchamp, Ernst Miro, Magritte, Man Ray und Tanguy in der Galerie Quatre Chemins ausgestellt. Er lernte William S. Burroughs in Tanger kennen, wo er zu dieser Zeit ein Restaurant fuhrte. Beide arbeiteten spater als Kunstler eng zusammen. Die von Gysin zufallig entdeckte Cut-up-Technik wurde von Burroughs weiterentwickelt und verfeinert, das Konzept der vertauschten Gedichte war Anstoss fur neue originelle Spielarten von Wort, Kunst und Klang. Gysins originelle Ideen waren eine Quelle der Inspiration fur Kunstler der Beat-Generation in Paris, sowie auf innovative Kunstler und Interpreten wie David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Keith Haring. Brion Gysins erste Retrospektive US-Ausstellung fand im New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York im Juni 2010 statt. - Provenienz: Von Marguerite Schluter, der fruheren Borroughs-Verlegerin in Deutschland, dem bisherigen Eigentumer geschenkt. Ruckseitig umlaufend Reste von ehemaliger Montierung. Im Rahmenausschnitt schwach gebraunt.
