Charles Lutz

His work, which addresses themes of consumerism and originality, has garnered significant critical acclaim and has even been cited in the Supreme Court case Warhol Foundation v. Goldsmith.

In his exhibition "Charts, Price Lists, Corrections, and Other Relevant Statements" at the Brooklyn project space Five Myles, Lutz explored themes of consumption and ego through large-scale paintings based on auction sales price lists from Christie's and Sotheby's, as well as large-scale photo-based works referencing the auction houses' promotional materials.

[1] Lutz continued his exploration of value and transference in his 2013 show "Ends and Means," focusing on the abstraction of value and the trace of currency movements.

[2][3] Later in 2013, Lutz created one of his largest public installations to date for the 100th anniversary of Marcel Duchamp's groundbreaking and controversial Armory Show.

Curated by Eric Shiner, the former director of The Andy Warhol Museum, for Armory Focus: USA, Lutz's site-specific installation, "Babel," was inspired by Pieter Bruegel's famous painting.
