Concept Tableaux,
1963 - 1967 >>
“The life-size tableau,
the form of art making that Kienholz chose to explore, was
time-consuming, costly, and exhausting to produce. So by
1966, after his successful, if controversial, exhibition
at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, he was employing
a more cost-effective strategy, in theory.
In many ways the Concept Tableaux demonstrated sound business sense. Kienholz
would draw up, and have prospective buyers sign, a contract for every tableau.
Each work would be divided into three quite distinct and separate steps.
For a set amount of money, interested buyers would be able to purchase
only the proposal – a plaque with a detailed description of the work,
signed by the artist. In the next step, if the buyer proceeded, the tableau
would be realized in the form of a drawing for an additional sum of money.
The third part of the contract would be the completion of the tableau.
The buyer would be charged only for hourly wages and materials incurred
by the artist.”
