Wednesday night, Victory Club members spent their evening at Galerie Gmurzynska, a Zurich-based art gallery that is known for its modern, contemporary and Russian avant-garde exhibitions. The current exhibit, “What’s For Dinner?”, surrounded the theme of food and art.
Martin Friedrichs, the gallery’s director, started the tour by showing off Robert Indiana’s piece, “For”, explaining the possible meanings it, and how neither the text nor the graphic was exactly a fork.
Martin then went on to describeWill Cotton’s “Delicious” (2008). The work itself includes 9 dummy cakes stacked on top of one another, looking like they are about to collapse. One extraordinary aspect of this sculpture is how life-like it is.
Several more pieces of art were showed off by Martin throughout the tour, including images by Rodchenko, “Tunnel of Love” by Marjorie Strider, “Speck” by Kurt Switters and “Three Meringues” by Wayne Thiebaud.
