We are delighted to present the series HOP UP, which will showcase a selection of HILOBROW friend Luc Sante’s extraordinary collages, along with the artist’s commentary. Also, check out the James Fuentes gallery’s website, which throughout August is featuring the terrific exhibit Some Recent Collages by Luc Sante.
I don’t know why my mother kept a stack of her parents’ old lotto cards — precise age unknown — and trundled them around from place to place for at least forty years. When I found them after her death, a thought balloon materialized over my head that said: “good collage material.” I didn’t have any idea how to use them, however, until one day on the book-swap table at the supermarket (which I hope they’ll bring back soon) I found a German medical textbook from 1910 with stupendous illustrations; the section on psychology was particularly rich in images. And they just married themselves to the cards. There are eight in this series, which I called “Covers for a Series of Paperbacks, Moscow 1923” because they reminded me of Rodchenko’s covers for the pulp crime series Mess Mend.
