Art, Italians do it better

Paola Pivi’s Feathered Bears at Galerie Perrotin

View all 8 Photos

The Galerie Perrotin art gallery in New York City is introducing a kaleidoscope of eight mighty polar bears brightly colored and feathered. They have been frozen in motions jumping, flying, brawling, snoozing. The pompous title “Ok, you are better than me, so what?” feeds the audience a dose of attitude throughout this neon circus. Italian artist Paola Pivi interacts the great life sized bears with the interests of children: their laying about, their conduct, their eye catching suits, perhaps even their playground conversations. Showing from now until October 26, 2013.
