Collection: Collection of the Artist (Inv. no. 084).

"I tried to evoke the withdrawn but upbeat atmosphere of the early 1960s, when I was becoming a teenager: one of latent aggressiveness, threat and imminent change. I made a collage with the video clip for Serge Gainsbourg’s song Les YéYé, 1962, and the interior of the house that the exiled Hungarian architect Marcel Brauer built for himself in the US. Where the Frenchman sings about Lolita and Sing Sing, Brauer adapted central European aesthetics to American high society. The overall relationship between consciousness and place has been schismatic since the Second World War."

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
