PORTRAIT GEORGE CONDO
George Condo was born in 1957 in Concord, New Hampshire. He emerged in the 80’s right in the centre of the vibrant and innovative art scene of New York. Since then George Condo has been extensively involved with the investigation and challenging nature of portraiture. He introduced the language of the Old Masters into Contemporary Art and has influenced a younger generation with his artistic philosophy and painterly style. The artist has exhibited extensively in both United States and in Europe including exhibitions at The Whitney Museum, New York, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, Contemporary Art Museum, Houston, The Guggenheim, New York, Albright Knox Museum, Buffalo, Fonds National d’Art Contemporain, Paris, Museu d’Art Contemporani, Barcelona, The Museum of Fine Art, Houston, the Kunsthalle Bielefeld in Germany and most recently at the Wrong Gallery at the Tate Modern, London.
