Louisiana Edition with the work Offshore (abalone season) by American artist Doug Aitken. In addition to powerful photographic works, the artist also creates large video and film-based works with both sound and image, all of which are stories of civilization that bring us close to the nomads of the big city as well as distant destinations.

It was with the work Electric Earth at the Venice Biennale in 1999 that Doug Aitken (born 1968) had his breakthrough as an artist. The work depicts the artist's hometown of Los Angeles at night – but not in a documentary way, but rather suggestively, as if one were on a walk through the city with the artist or the work's protagonist.

About Louisiana Editions

The Louisiana Edition is original graphics, created directly for Louisiana by artists who have exhibited at the museum in recent years and are all represented in the museum's collection. They are obvious collectors' items.

When Louisiana celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2008, a number of artists who have exhibited at the museum were asked to create a graphic work that could then be sold in support of Louisiana. The series has since been continuously expanded.

The works are produced in limited editions (most in editions of 30) and priced in accordance with the artists themselves, who have generously wished to support Louisiana, as the proceeds from the series will go uncut to new purchases for the museum's collection. The works are unframed unless otherwise stated.

Dimensions: 29.6 x 42 cm
Material: Photo on paper
Artist: Doug Aitken
Title: Offshore (abalone season) (2008)
