Additional Details: This visually striking poster relates to Matthew Barney’s Cremaster 5, part of his seminal Cremaster Cycle—one of the most ambitious and influential bodies of work in contemporary art. The composition features a mirrored, vertically oriented figure rendered in a sleek, sculptural form, evoking themes of transformation, identity, and myth. Barney’s work is known for its fusion of film, performance, sculpture, and symbolism, drawing on references ranging from opera and mythology to biology and architecture. In Cremaster 5, widely considered one of the most visually lyrical chapters of the cycle, he explores themes of love, ritual, and metamorphosis through richly stylized imagery. The poster’s dark, atmospheric palette and symmetrical composition enhance its cinematic and enigmatic presence, while the typography and graphic framing reflect the refined aesthetic associated with Barneys New York collaborations of the period. A compelling and highly collectible piece, appealing to collectors of contemporary art, film-related works, and conceptual imagery. Framing available upon request.
