Tom Wesselmann was a leader of the Pop Art movement. He is best remembered for large-scale works, including his Great American Nude series, in which Wesselmann combined sensual imagery with everyday objects depicted in bold and vibrant colors. As he developed in his practice, Wesselmann grew beyond the traditional canvas format and began creating shaped canvases and aluminum cut-outs that often functioned as sculptural drawings. Continuing his interest in playing with scale, Wesselmann began focusing more closely on the body parts that make up his nudes. He created his Mouth series and his Bedroom series in which particular elements, rather than the entire sitter, become the focus.<br> <br>Bedroom Breast (2004) combines these techniques, using vivid hues painted on cut-out aluminum. The work was a special commission for a private collector's residence, and the idea of a bedroom breast piece in oil on 3-D cut-out aluminum was one Wesselmann had been working with for many years prior to this work's creation. The current owner of the piece believed in Wesselmann's vision and loved the idea of bringing the subject to his home.<br><br>It's one of, if not the last, piece Wesselmann completed before he passed away. The present work is the only piece of its kind - there has never been an oil on aluminum in 3D at this scale or of this iconography.   Tom Wesselmann was a leader of the Pop Art movement.

"אני מוצאת שלפעמים אני כל כך מתרגשת לעבוד, במיוחד כשאני מתחילה רעיונות חדשים; אני כל כך מתרגשת שאני מרגישה לא בנוח. זה כמעט מרגיש מסוכן, כאילו אני מפלרטטת עם משהו מסוכן. " – טום וסלמן

היסטוריה

טום וסלמן היה מנהיג תנועת הפופ ארט. הוא זכור בעיקר בזכות עבודות בקנה מידה גדול, כולל סדרת העירום האמריקאי הגדול שלו, שבה שילב וסלמן דימויים חושניים עם חפצים יומיומיים המתוארים בצבעים עזים ומלאי חיים. ככל שהתפתח בעיסוקו, גדל וסלמן מעבר לפורמט הקנבס המסורתי והחל ליצור קנבסים מעוצבים וגזרות אלומיניום שתפקדו לעתים קרובות כרישומים פיסוליים. וסלמן , שהמשיך להתעניין במשחק עם קנה מידה, החל להתמקד יותר ויותר בחלקי הגוף המרכיבים את תמונות העירום שלו. הוא יצר את סדרת Mouth שלו ואת סדרת חדרי השינה שלו, שבה אלמנטים מסוימים, ולא כל היושב-ראש, הופכים למוקד.

 

חזה חדר שינה (2004) משלב טכניקות אלה, תוך שימוש בגוונים עזים הצבועים על אלומיניום חתוך. העבודה הייתה הזמנה מיוחדת למגורי אספנים פרטיים, והרעיון של חזה חדר שינה בשמן על אלומיניום בחיתוך תלת ממדי היה רעיון שווסלמן עבד איתו שנים רבות לפני יצירת עבודה זו. הבעלים הנוכחי של היצירה האמין בחזון של וסלמן ואהב את הרעיון להביא את הנושא לביתו.

 

זו אחת היצירות שווסלמן השלים, אם לא האחרונה, לפני מותו. העבודה הנוכחית היא היחידה מסוגה – מעולם לא היה שמן על אלומיניום בתלת ממד בקנה מידה כזה או באיקונוגרפיה כזו.

"במשך שנים רבות, ציור, בעיקר מהעירום, היה ניסיון נואש לתפוס משהו משמעותי מיופייה של האישה שעממתי התעמתתי. זה תמיד היה מתסכל כי היופי של האישה הוא כל כך חמקמק." – טום וסלמן

"אני לא מתאר עירום מכל כוונה סוציולוגית, תרבותית או רגשית. הכוונה היחידה שלי היא תמיד למצוא דרכים חדשות ליצור ציורים מרגשים תוך שימוש במצב העירום המסורתי." – טום ווסלמן
