This portrait of "Apple" co-founder Steve Jobs has just got sold for $210,000 at a gallery in Miami. The portrait feels you have saw it before, that’s because you did. The artist took a famous Steve Jobs Portrait blew it up a bit, printed it on fancy silver paper, stuck some glass on it, crinkled it some, and sold, reports Корреспондент.net.
The installation by David Datuna became one of the most expensive works sold at the art fair this year. Earlier this year, a portrait of Vladimir Putin titled “Putin – Mona Lisa” created by David Datuna was bought at a closed auction by a renowned Russian businessman for 200,000 euro during the international Art Moscow fair which took place in September.
Through his latest artwork David Datuna attempts to assess the role of Steve Jobs’ personality and his impact on contemporary world. Despite armies of loyal fans around the globe, many consider Jobs and his ‘empire’ an embodiment of corporate evil that has befallen the modern society. Such polarity of viewpoints is conveyed by the author through the combined use of positive and negative optical lenses. The artist avoids casting judgment on Steve Jobs and his personality. By only using the penetrating gaze of the subject of his artwork, Datuna tries to get to the very soul of Steve Jobs and reveal his motivations in life.
