Jim Lambie's iconic Found Flowers Painting

You loved the way Lambie's Zobop Fluoro, 2004 amped out the entry space of MOMA for that epic "Color Chart: Reinventing Color" exhibit and the "Found Flowers" series which featured iconic pop stars like George Micheal and Grace Jones swaddled in high chromatic flowers, has been a massive cult influence for a certain body of Belgian fashion designers (check the inspiration board). As such this contemporary artist has a very acute understanding of the function of fantasy in activating pop culture glamour. As a reference point for art directors of all ilk this work reminds you that a great visual stylist can express an emotion of joy in lushly visual terms. Here is the artist's description of his process:

Iveković’s celebrated series Double Life in which the artist juxtaposed pictures of herself with commercial ads

As a pioneering feminist, activist, and video and performance artist in the 60's and 70's , Iveković emitted work that fought valiantly against the then rigid and institutionalized idea of contemporary art. Her wide ranging oeuvre allowed her to challenge everything from the mass media culture of capitalism to the transformation of Eastern Europe from communist to post-communist political systems. This MOMA exhibition, her first ever American retrospective, affords Iveković the opportunity to present a new generation with her vital ideas. The following excerpt from the MOMA press release outlines the exhibition's construct.
