Christie's (FT Weekend series)

2012

A newspaper page bearing the Christie's auction house advertisement is layered with xerox copies and cling film on mesh, punctuated by metallic eyelets and bursts of spray paint. Liška's process-driven approach transforms the ephemeral language of financial and art-market media into a tactile, fragmented object that hovers between document and abstraction. The artist's frame further asserts the work's self-awareness, implicating the structures of commerce and display within the piece itself.
