Kelley Walker Black Star Press; Star Press, Black Star Press, Black Press 2005 scanned image and silkscreened white, milk and dark chocolate on digital print laid on canvas, in 3 parts each 36 x 28 in. (91.4 x 71.1 cm.); overall 36 x 84 in. (91.4 x 213.4 cm.) Signed and dated "Kelley Walker 2005" on the reverse of the third panel.
Provenance Paula Cooper Gallery, New York Catalogue Essay “With the Black Star Press pieces (the chocolate riots) I attempt to sidestep a familiar art source, Warhol, as a starting point. Looking back at artists dealing with appropriation in the ’80s, it seems the strategy of replicating in itself became the style or brand of the artist using it. In my works, I don’t escape the effects of branding but think of the processes associated with appropriation as a way of dealing with branding as a social space.” Kelley Walker 2006 Read More
