Lot Essay

Executed in 2011, is a printed version of one of Paul Sietsema’s most iconic works: a meticulous ink-on-paper depiction of the same subject, which was exhibited at the entrance to the artist’s 2014 exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. Rendered with painstaking verisimilitude, this larger-scale work was a hyper-realist reproduction of a ready-made image featuring four sailboats, marked on its top right-hand corner by the trace of a diagonal fold. Blurring the boundaries between the handmade and mechanically-produced, Sietsema seeks to draw attention to inherently fictional nature of all imagery, filtering his subjects through multiple media and deliberately replicating signs of physical wear and tear. Born in Los Angeles in 1968, Sietsema has risen to critical acclaim within the last decade, with solo exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art (2003), the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (2008), the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid and the Museum of Modern Art New York (2009), the Kunsthalle Basel (2012) and, last year, at the Nouveau Nacional Musée Monaco.
