By Charles Lutz
Charles Lutz is a New York based artist whose work has been exhibited in the US and Internationally. Lutz's works deal with the very nature of human desires and explores economic, social, and financial markets including the contemporary art market. He deals with these themes through the painstaking techniques of the traditional crafts person, be it the luxury trunk maker, the master printer, the illustrator, or the realist painter. Through the implementation and manipulation of the techniques of these artisans, Lutz examines the nature of desire, the exploitation of man, and the human condition as a whole. For this edition, Lutz altered catalogs for the sale of Warhol's Green Burning Car at Christie's auction house. Through both reproduction and manipulation of Warhol's work, Lutz explores how these works can function both conceptually and as a form of currency in a capitalistic and exploitative society.
