Liam Gillick

From FACES
Two digital pigment prints on Hahnemühle 300g rag paper, hand-torn, each 60 x 50 cm. Edition of 45 + 8 AP, each signed on label verso and numbered on the print.

Both works of this edition by Liam Gillick are a framework with either horizontal or vertical bars. Framed within the bars are cartoonized eyes, each with different colored scleras – or whites of the eye. The disembodied eyes look down upon us, framed by vestiges of abstraction that are derived from the contemporary language of cladding, renovation, building systems and optimization. The eyes represent characters referred to in the essay for The Philosopher. Artist A - + and Artist A + - alongside their critical doubles – theorist, curator and gallerist.

Each EUR 1,200
Diptych EUR 2,300

Liam Gillick’s work transcends the traditional genre and media boundaries of visual art. His practice includes architectural and structural interventions in space as well as the creation of minimalist objects. This edition, Replicated Revision, is characterized by its technoid design and reflects the aesthetic principles of color field painting in its color concept, with the left aluminum profile serving as the sole carrier of color, varying throughout the series. 

Each EUR 3,000
Set of 8 EUR 20,000

Tubular aluminum in four sections, powder coated, each 140 x 5 cm diameter, each different in color combination. Edition of 10, signed and numbered on separate certificate.

Color variation: color sequence starts with RAL 1021, RAL 5012, RAL 8005, or RAL 2004

Liam Gillick’s work continues to explore systems of order, repetition, and spatial logic drawn from the structures of contemporary life. His edition Equal Quarters (2022) consists of four vertical rods, each divided into four equal segments, painted in red, yellow, blue, and black. While the proportions remain constant, the sequence of colors shifts from one rod to the next. A precise, technical statement that artistically reflects the pervasive, technoid logic shaping our contemporary world.

“I am interested in taking apart the structural logic of social and political systems. This process is reflected in my relationship to forms as carriers of meaning and potential. For this project I looked at various curves and forms that are the fundamental basis of Thonet's iconic furniture over the last century and more. I wanted to bring forward the beauty and significance of these isolated elements that are both structural and relational.” – Liam Gillick

The six-part edition Six Discussion Screens refers to one of Liam Gillick's most significant and iconic works: his multi-colored, translucent Plexiglas panels, designed as a reflection on spaces of discourse and critical artistic exchange. In this work, Gillick draws on the standardized RAL color system, developed in Germany in the 1920s, highlighting the connection between industrial color aesthetics and conceptual art.

From Forty Are Better Than One
6-part leporello, digital pigment print (Ditone) on 188 g Hahnemühle Photo Rag paper, 32 x 150 cm (12½ x 59 in). Edition: 75, signed and numbered.

This edition is based on the Liam Gillick's eponymous exhibition at the British Council Gallery in Prague in 1998, where the artist displayed logos of former state-owned industries in the UK that had been privatised under Margaret Thatcher. With this, the artist wanted to make a connection between the upheaval in the Czech Republic and the breakdown of social ownership in the UK. The logos incorporated into this work are British Rail, British Leyland, British Gas, British Telecom and British Steel. The first is one the artist created by overlaying all logos to create a composite logo.

EUR 800

Powder-coated aluminum, each element 10 x 20 x 100 cm. Shelf consisting of 6 elements to be mounted onto the wall, overall height from floor 180 cm. Three different color combinations; edition of 25 each.

Liam Gillick’s proposal for a bookshelf made of angled profiles takes the form of a minimalist sculpture through its sequential arrangement and color structure. The dual nature of furniture and art recurs as a central design principle in Gillick’s work. Three color variations emphasize the serial character of the piece.

EUR 11,000 each color combination

Powder-coated aluminum, 41 x 61 x 245 cm. Three different color combinations; edition of 25 each.

Bench as sculpture or sculpture as bench. Many of Gillick’s works move along this very line of distinction. The use of color separates the individual components both technically and artistically.

EUR 11,000 each color version

From Door Cycle
Stainless steel on laminated wooden door panel with silkscreen in three color variations: white, black and orange. Size: 200 x 90 x 4.2 cm (78¾ x 35½ x 1½ in). Edition: 15 (5 in each color), signed and numbered on separate certificate.

The title of this edition refers to Liam Gillick's eponymous exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo, Paris, and La Casa Encendida, Madrid, in 2005. Both the exhibitions and this work reference an ongoing text-based project that examines post-industrial developments in consensus-based European societies. In the form of a door, Liam Gillick’s edition manifests as a visual and conceptual reference to a key passage of the text: Former workers of a decommissioned Swedish car factory return to their former workplace to reorganize signage and information – an act of appropriation and transformation that gives rise to a new architecture of desire and rejection.

EUR 15,000

Anodized aluminum wall object in four layers/colors, 70 x 70 x 6 cm (27½ x 27½ x 2¼ in). The object comes in 4 different color variations (layers rotating in color). Edition: each in an edition of 8, altogether 32; signed and numbered on label.

With this edition, Liam Gillick references modern industrial manufacturing processes and their inherent aesthetics. Four aluminum plates, each featuring a pre-defined striped structure, are laser-cut in varying ways depending on their color. When layered in different combinations, they create shifting transparencies. Elegance and beauty derived from technical logic.
