Guantanamo Brain (2000)
Original painting by Dadara (Daniel Rozenberg)
Acrylic on canvas | 45 x 45 cm

“Guantanamo Brain” challenges the boundaries between freedom and captivity — not just of the body, but of the mind.
Created in 2000, this work foreshadows the coming decades’ debates on surveillance, fear, and mental imprisonment in a hyper-controlled world.

Dadara’s surreal language and symbolic imagery invite reflection on what it truly means to be free — both within and beyond our own thoughts.

We are pleased to present Chupa Chups by Arman (1928–2005), now available in our collection.

This exceptional sculpture exemplifies Arman’s iconic accumulation technique, in which identical everyday objects are repeated, preserved, and transformed into powerful visual statements. In Chupa Chups, the artist encases a multitude of the famous lollipops in plexiglas, elevating a familiar consumer product into a reflective work of contemporary art.

The Chupa Chups logo, prominently featured in the piece, was famously designed in 1969 by Salvador Dalí, bringing together two influential artistic voices of the 20th century.

Specifications:
Title: Chupa Chups
Artist: Arman
Medium: Chupa Chups lollipops in plexiglas
Edition: Limited to 50 (this work is from the edition of 50)
Signature: Hand-signed by the artist on the front
Dimensions: 42 X 30 X 10 cm

A vivid exploration of repetition, consumerism, and material culture, Chupa Chups is a compelling addition to Arman’s celebrated body of work.

Now on view and available at Famous Amsterdam.

Robert Indiana – LOVE Snow Globe (Official Edition, Certified by the Morgan Art Foundation)
Limited Official Release – Free Worldwide Shipping This Week Only

This officially licensed LOVE Snow Globe captures one of the most iconic artworks of the 20th century: LOVE by American artist Robert Indiana (1928–2018). Produced in collaboration with the Morgan Art Foundation, this collector’s item comes with a certificate of authenticity affixed to the base and original packaging, confirming its status as an authorized edition of Indiana’s celebrated work.

The centerpiece of the snow globe is a three-dimensional rendering of Indiana’s famous LOVE sculpture: the bold, uppercase letters L and O stacked above V and E, with the slanted “O” leaning playfully to the side. Encased in a crystal-clear dome and resting on a sleek, matte black base, the sculpture sits in a delicate flurry of snow, creating a striking juxtaposition between minimalist pop art and whimsical seasonal charm.

Now on view in conjunction with Erwin Olaf’s major retrospective Freedom at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, we are pleased to present a rare complete set of The Paradise Portraits — one of Olaf’s most iconic photographic series.

This exclusive set is number 1 from a limited edition of 60, each print hand-numbered by the artist. The portfolio is accompanied by a complementary collector’s book, also hand-numbered and issued only with the edition.

The Paradise Portraits (2001–2003)
• Archival C-prints on Fuji Crystal Archive paper
• Each print measures 59 x 42 cm (23.2 x 16.5 in)
• Edition of 60 + 20 APs
• Signed and numbered by Erwin Olaf

In this series, Olaf combines classical compositional aesthetics with contemporary themes of identity, idealization, and the tension between surface and psychology. The highly stylized portraits are emblematic of his exploration of beauty, control, and cultural codes.

The Freedom exhibition at the Stedelijk offers a comprehensive overview of Olaf’s work, from his early politically charged tableaux to his later, introspective portraiture, underscoring his importance in contemporary visual culture.
