Lot Essay

‘Majerus was interested in repurposing recognizable images from Pop culture, as well as images used by classical painters like Dürer. He was also known for conspicuously recycling images previously used by his peers, idols, and former professors. This ‘sampling’ of aesthetic information has led to this idea of the artist as DJ.’ – Kurt McVey
