JR, a French photographer and street artist whose exact identity is not confirmed, described himself as a photograffeur. He creates large black and white photographic images in public locations, in a manner similar to the appropriation of the build environment by graffiti artists. Thanks to his photographic collage technique, he exhibits his work free of charge on the walls of the whole world – attracting the attention of those who do not usually go to museums.

We are very proud to announce new skateboard decks coming in next week at Famous!
•
In 2016, JR was invited to the Musée du Louvre and he announced that he would make the museum’s famous glass Pyramid disappear. To achieve that, JR completely covered the structure with historical photographs pre-dating its construction. What resulted was a surprising anamorphosis: the museum’s forgotten former entrance bursting forth into the present and reclaiming its former glory. We are left to wonder whether we attach meaning to the wrong things, or simply are too quick to forget.
•
An other installation from JR, Ellis Island, featured large archival photographs of immigrants displayed throughout the island's abandoned hospital. For this project, JR decided to photograph recent immigrants and paste their images on the city’s streets on Flatiron plaza (the heart of Manhattan), where they and other immigrants are often invisible.
•
We expect these amazing skateboard decks arrive at Famous in two weeks!
Contact us at info@famous for making a pre-order or for more information.

After we have seen the Oscars last week, we are a bigger fan of JR even more! Several of the night’s biggest stars partied away at entertainment mogul Guy Oseary and Madonna’s “The Party,” where JR took special photos of some of the winners. Among which Renee Zellweger, Robert De Niro and Laura Dern (copyright @ JR). •

MILES ALDRIDGE BOOK - INCLUDING UNQIUE POLAROID | The first monograph from the brilliant fashion photographer Miles Aldridge. With a cinematic approach to fashion photography, Aldridge creates singular scenes with psychologically complex characters in surreal and fantastic settings. His brilliant, candy-colored images engage viewers with an appealing mix of overt sexuality and sweetness. No detail is left uncovered in his eye-popping, erotically charged fashion photographs, which transform slightly sordid scenarios into acid-hued glamour. Each photograph is a complex world unto itself, and these lush images invite viewers to linger, for there is always something else to see, some deeper layer of meaning to uncover. With deliciously naughty scenes and lushly evocative photography, this book lures readers into Aldridge’s irresistible world.

DAIDO MORIYAMA | Tokyo-based Japanese artist Daido Moriyama (*1938, Ikeda-City, Osaka) initially trained in graphic design before taking up photography. He trained as an assistant under Takeji Iwamiya and Eikoh Hosoe. Moriyama has had a radical impact on the photographic and art world in both Japan and in the West, with his expressive style of "are, bure, boke" (rough, blurred and out-of-focus) as well as the debut of recent colour work taken in Tokyo, and his typical style of quick snapshots without looking in the viewfinder. #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#daidomoriyama #daidomoriyamaphoto #skateboard #rijksmuseum

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.

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.

JEFF KOONS | Jeffrey “Jeff” Koons lives and works in New York City. 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. Koons studied painting at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Maryland Institute College of Art. 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.
