Description from the seller
Offset print on 250 g high-quality paper.
Copyright Panamarenko Foundation, SABAM Belgium
Signed in the upper right with a black marker on the plate.
Panamarenko, the pseudonym of Henri Van Herwegen, was born on February 5, 1940, in Antwerp and died on December 14, 2019. He was a leading Belgian assemblage artist and sculptor, best known for his sculptures inspired by airplanes and other vehicles. His works, such as airplanes, hot air balloons, and helicopters, are often modern interpretations of the Icarus myth, blending art with technology and imagination.
In 2003 Panamarenko married Eveline Hoorens. During the opening of a large-scale retrospective of his work in Brussels in 2005, he announced his retirement as an artist. After retiring, he launched his own coffee brand, PanamaJumbo. In 2009, VLM Airlines honored him by naming one of their Fokker 50 aircraft after him.
Panamarenko's work is included in the collections of all major museums in Belgium. In 2002 he donated his parental home in Antwerp to the Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp (MuHKA).
His innovative and poetic approach to art remains a source of inspiration and admiration within the contemporary art world.
