LACMA just purchased a unique photogram by Floris Neusüss, under $ 5000 and you can too.

 

In May of this year LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art) acquired a third Floris Neusüss for their permanent collection. Floris Neusüss, who passed away April of this year, was a relentless pioneer of the photogram and experimental photography in general.

The ‘ULO’ (Unidentified Lying Object) LACMA acquired, is part of a series of photograms, which were inspired by frequent dinners and copious wine consumption with the photographer Robert Heineken. When they started these dinners in the early 90’s in Germany, the ‘foil’ that covers the cork on a wine bottle was still predominantly made out of lead, which turns out, makes a fantastic subject for photograms. The way the lead peels off the bottle would leave it suggesting an abstracted figure. Due to the malleability of the lead foil these ‘ULO’s’ could also be further manipulated, leaving the result open to a myriad of interpretations. This prolific series came to an end when the lead foils were outlawed in Germany in 2000, due to mounting health concerns
