1978-2003 mixed media on a mannequin height: 184 cm (72 1/2 in. ) signed and inscribed on base, shoes, and inside of the jacket, dated with detailed stages of completion on the shoes and clothing LOT NOTES Few materials lie outside of Henry Khudyakov`s reach – glitter, phosphorescent paint, Band-Aids, computer printouts, and construction paper all regularly make an appearance in the multifaceted, and often unexpected, work of the renegade artist. As one critic noted Partially as a result of his cosmic outlook, no canvas can be too bright for [the] creator. … His works cannot be summed up casually; although, many of them can be connected to each other as cells of a living organism. It's a creation of a new dynamic mysterious cosmos from customary objects. It's better not only to see his creations but be surrounded by them, feel them, and wear as a perfume those simple but surprisingly fresh images. As other Fluxus artists, Khudyakov envisioned and attempted to imbue the everyday with art – elevating the humbles of materials to fine art status. Henry Khudyakov`s works can be found in private and museum collections, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
