Instagram post 2226417608387154741_6860975142 ROGER BALLEN | As one of the most influential and important photographic artists of the 21st century, Roger Ballen’s photographs span over 40 years. His strange and extreme works confront the viewer and challenge them to come with him on a journey into their own minds, as he explored the deeper recesses of his own. @rogerballen #famousamsterdam #art #artwork #amsterdam #artist #artgallery #instaart #gallery #collectibles #design #artlover #artlovers #artistic #artshop #artoftheday #artstagram #artlife #artinfo #onlineartsales #onlineart #onlineartgallery #myart #creative #artshopping #collectiblesforsale #collectiblestore #rogerballen #theskateroom #paulmccarthy #skatedeck
Instagram post 2226381769703549111_6860975142 PIGGYBACK - ROGER BALLEN | This limited edition single deck is Ballen’s re-interpretation of Paul McCarthy’s skateboard deck “Piggy”. When Roger Ballen attended an opening of the Skateistan skate park in Johannesburg, South Africa, he photographed one of the young skateboarders with a mask on. This resulted in this wonderful edition: “Piggyback”. Piggyback is a limited edition of 50 and comes with a hand-signed certificate by the artist. The 7 iconic limited editions skateboard decks by Roger Ballen that were launched at FAMOUS in november 2017 are still available on our website. They explore the rich and weird universe and offer a glimpse into his art and psyche. Ballen's 7 skateboard deck editions consist of both solo works and collaborations with the South-African band Die Antwoord and Paul McCarthy.

Instagram post 2226324134002324540_6860975142 MICHA KLEIN | Y2K cult video artist and VJ Micha Klein, is back with a fresh new street-wear line, called ‘DROP THE PILL’. Klein, a Dutch artist and VJ living on Bali, was in fact the very first artist to receive a BA in computer-graphics in 1989. It’s insufficient to say Klein was way ahead of his time and is a true pioneer. The list of amazing collabs is infinite and ever growing. Kleins works are now part of world-renowned museum collections, among which are LACMA Los Angeles, Denver Art Museum, Arken Museum Denkmark, Groninger Museum, Stedelijk Museum and more. He had an exhibition in the prestigious Mary Boone Gallery in New York in 2000 and his notorious “Pillman” background projections were incorporated in the USA-tour of rapper Eminem in the same year. His legendary Pillman animation (created in 1993) grew out to be a huge phenomenon. Pillman is dancing cheerfully in the spotlight with a big smile, while spreading love, happiness and the feeling of ecstasy. @micha_klein #famousamsterdam #art #artwork #amsterdam #artist #artgallery #instaart #gallery #collectibles #design #artlover #artlovers #artistic #artshop #artoftheday #artstagram #artlife #artinfo #onlineartsales #onlineart #onlineartgallery #myart #creative #artshopping #collectiblesforsale #collectiblestore #michaklein #skateboarddeck #dropthepill #digitalart

Widely recognized for his reproductions of mundane objects, most notably, large-scale balloon animals in stainless steel, his work explores issues that span sex, desire, race, gender, celebrity, media, commerce, and fame.

Presently, his “Balloon Dog (Orange)” holds the record for the most expensive artwork ever sold by an artist, which went for an unprecedented $58.4 Million at Christie’s Post-War and Contemporary Art Evening Sale in 2013. #famousamsterdam #art #artwork#amsterdam #artist #artgallery#instaart #gallery #collectibles #design#artlover #artlovers #artistic #artshop#artoftheday#artstagram #artlife#artinfo#onlineartsales #onlineart#onlineartgallery #myart #creative#artshopping#collectiblesforsale#collectiblestore#jeffkoons #gazingball #denieuwekerk#exhibition

This is the second collab between the artist and The Skateroom. Both Ai Wei Wei and the LA-based contemporary artist Shepard Fairey created limited edition skateboard decks to mark the first 100 days of the Trump administration.

If you did not purchase your triptych yet, we have another reason for you to do so: The Skateroom works with an economic model where a significant part of the profit of every edition will be used to support social initiatives to make the world a better place. In this case, the NGO’s where chosen by Ai Wei Wei. The White House is a triptych of skateboard decks by Ai Wei Wei, symbolically made in a limited edition of number 666.

Sarah Lucas has made several “Beer Can Penises”, but since they are all hand-made, they are all unique and different. This sculpture is made in 2001 and signed by Sarah Lucas. “Beer Can Penis” comes in a Plexiglas box and is now available at Famous Amsterdam. For more info: info@famous.nl.

Instagram post 2226262945658496524_6860975142 SARAH LUCAS @newmuseum | Michou at the first American survey of the work of British artist Sarah Lucas, at The New Museum in New York (2018). “Sarah Lucas: Au Naturel” features some of Lucas’s most important projects, including early sculptures from the 1990s that substitute domestic furniture for body parts and enlarged spreads from tabloid newspapers from the same period, which reflect objectified representations of the female body. Alongside the photographic self-portraits that Lucas has produced throughout her career, the exhibition features biomorphic sculptures including her stuffed-stocking Bunnies (1997–ongoing) and NUDS (2009–ongoing), the Penetralia series (2008–ongoing), and selections from her installations at the Freud Museum in London (2000) and the British Pavilion at the Venice Biennale (2015). These works, which complicate inscribed codes of sexual and social normativity, have never before been shown together in the US. Lucas has also created new sculptural works for the exhibition, including This Jaguar’s Going to Heaven (2018), a severed 2003 Jaguar X-Type—the car’s back half burned and its front half collaged with cigarettes—and VOX POP DORIS (2018), a pair of eleven-foot-tall thigh-high platform boots cast in concrete. #famousamsterdam #art #artwork #amsterdam #artist #artgallery #instaart #gallery #collectibles #design #artlover #artlovers #artistic #artshop #artoftheday#artstagram #artlife #artinfo#onlineartsales #onlineart #onlineartgallery #myart #creative #artshopping #collectiblesforsale#collectiblestore #sarahlucas #beercanpenis #beercan #newyork @newmuseum

Instagram post 2165625054691787248_6860975142 FROM STOLEN GOLDEN TOILETS TO TOILETPAPER SKATEBOARDS.... Who other could we possibly be talking about than the amazing Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan? We doubt you haven't heard of Cattelan yet, but just in case you didn't - you might know him from the art heist that recently made it to every news channel: his 18-carat Golden toilet sculpture 'America' (2016) was stolen from Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire on the 14th of September. In other news, the TOILETPAPER skateboard decks just arrived at FAMOUS! These colourful collector items are available in a limited edition of 200 pieces per graphics and come in 12 different crazy designs. The skateboard decks are a true eye-catcher, both by them selves as as the full set. Make sure to get yours now on www.famous.nl! Feel free to contact us for more info via info@famous.nl. 'Seletti wears Toiletpaper' is the collaboration between Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari, the creators of the extraordinary magazine TOILETPAPER. In their products, surreal images of the magazine blend together with the world's most eccentric design brand SELETTI into an exceptional collection of home decor. The line combines black humour with pastel colours and an inexhaustible instict for experimentation. Our personal favorites include for instance the SHIT! vase, the TOILETPAPER rugs and, without doubt, this amazing set of skateboards. #famousamsterdam #art #artwork #amsterdam #artist #artgallery #instaart #gallery #collectibles #design #artlover #artlovers #artistic #artshop #artoftheday #artstagram #artlife #artinfo #onlineartsales #onlineart #onlineartgallery #myart #creative #artshopping #collectiblesforsale #collectiblestore #mauriziocattelan #pierpaoloferrari #seletti #toiletpapermagazine
