Project One: Icons – Launch & Double Print Release, by sfdoddsy on Oct 9, 2008 10:32:40 GMT 1, I'm still trying to work out how to afford the best piece in the exhibition - Mimmo Rotella's Homage to Warhol. But speaking of Warhol, surely Charles Lutz is just taking the piss, especially at the prices he is asking on his site?
Aside from the lameness of his conception (check out www.warholdenied.com,)a fairly well-known US artist called Eric Doeringer has been doing the same for years with his Bootleg series. And he charges $100 instead of $4000.
www.ericdoeringer.com/
Plus he gives you the choice of any artist you please. Even our Banksy.
He's been featured on the Saatchi Online website and NY show, plus he has various exhibitions in the US and Europe.
It strikes me that Mr Lutz is doing a ripoff of a ripoff and trying to couch it in hi-falutin' terms. At least Doeringer's aim is to bring easy to make high art to the masses, not charge Warholesque prices on the conceit of subverting Warhol.

You don't understand Lutz's work at all. If you look at his other work (ex. the sculpture Stacked and the tondo paintings at charleslutz.com ), it's blatantly clear he is trying to exploit the art market at a higher level than that of a Doeringer. Doeringer's works are all about mass, he'll make you a Currin, Hirst, anybody for $100, and he'll do it poorly. Lutz, not only exploited the Warhol foundation, but also the consumer. Doeringer isn't doing big pieces and he doesn't execute them well. With Lutz, it's all about craft. He'll do the 40 x 40 Basquait or Marilyn, and he draws in that aesthete class. Maybe the work wasn't shown in the correct context of work, it's not really street or grafitti art like most in the show are. He'll make that 40 x 40 inch Basquiat, create the metal powder based, urinate on it and print it just as Warhol had done (not always Warhol's own urine) and then have it denied by the board. There is a lot more behind the work than the Warhol facade. The fact that he is selling them for that much is part of the point of the work. He's creating value from a act of de-valuing, amongst other things. Doeringer churns those small canvases out and Lutz only makes a few of each with the tondo's their one off's. The thing is, if you look at the whole of Lutz's work, it's a hell of a lot more conceptually stronger than most artists, especially Doeringer. Doeringer has a few good concepts (ex. the Whitney sticker print), but the copies and certainly the daily shots of his feces in the toilet bowl aren't amongst his best. The Independent article on Lutz was a two page exhaustive view of his work for the show, that alone should be reason for anyone to look past the facade of the work. He isn't catering to mass but exploiting the very base of the art world. No body is doing it as well as he is. His work is certainly not piggybacking Doeriger's work. Doeriger has a place, and it's in a van in front of Chelsea galleries peddling his "art" knockoffs for a hundred or two hundred bucks a pop. The fact he stopped doing the Currin's after a cease and desist, stopped the Murakami's after he got a booth at Murakami's Geisai Miami last year (crappy of Murakami to give him a booth, then ask him to stop making Murakami's, yet it was ok to exploit anyone else), and he has stopped making a number of other artist's work, that makes me question his intent. If he believed in the work, he'd still do it and fight to do it. It's derivative work, a comment on contemporary art, why should he have to stop doing any of them? I think by giving in and stopping production, it just highlights that he's doing these crappy knockoffs to pay the bills.
