Jon Kessler – New Orleans (2008)

When Louisiana in 2008 showed Jon Kessler's (born 1957) large work Palace of 4 am, the work filled a hall and was in a sense one large image machine, a labyrinth of projections and installations, all about our political times – which were a piece of global journalistic reality reduced to puppetry. With references to the character of political culture as spectacle and permanent marketing, Kessler used art as activist protest.

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.
