Thomas Demand Flügel (Grand Piano) Cibachrome-Abzug auf Kunststoffplatte unter Plexiglas (Diasec). 66,7 x 155,5 cm (81 x 170 cm). Rückseitig auf der Aufhängungsleiste mit Filzstift signiert, datiert, nummeriert und beschriftet 'Reprint'. Exemplar 3/5. Provenienz Privatsammlung, Bayern Privatsammlung, Nordrhein-Westfalen Literatur Roxana Marcoci, Jeffrey Eugenides, Thomas Demand, Ausst.Kat. Museum of Modern Art New York, New York 2005, S. 38f. Mit Abb. Flügel, one of Demand's very few photographs to show individuals, gives us all the participants in a given person's (presumably the artist's own) life story, without supplying the narrative thread that ties them together as the reason for their atomized cohabitation on top of the piano. By not telling a story and yet giving us all of the setting, Demand pulls us in.
