Post lot text

Les sculptures monumentales de David Mach apparaissent dès les années 1980 et confèrent à l’artiste un rôle éminent sur la scène artistique contemporaine au Royaume-Uni. Reprenant le titre d’une chanson d’Al Hoffman de 1952, le message de l’œuvre invite à l’entente, à l’effort partagé et conjugué pour agir. Formule entrée dans la postérité géopolitique du XXème siècle, « it takes two to tango » a été employée par Ronald Reagan lors de son discours au sujet de la relation des États-Unis avec l’URSS. David Mach a été exposé en Ecosse, à la Royal Scottish Academy of Art and Architecture d’Edimbourg en 2019 mais également au Japon, à Londres, à New York et à Paris.

‌David Mach's monumental sculptures began to appear in the 1980's, giving the artist a prominent role on the contemporary art scene in the UK. Taking the title of a song by Al Hoffman from 1952, the message of the work invites agreement, a shared and combined effort to act. A phrase that has entered 20th century geopolitical posterity, "it takes two to tango" was used by Ronald Reagan in his speech about the US relationship with the USSR. David Mach has been exhibited in Scotland, at the Royal Scottish Academy of Art and Architecture in Edinburgh in 2019, but also in Japan, London, New York and Paris.
