Condo calls it Artificial Realism — old-master technique applied to figures that come apart mid-face. He worked in Warhol’s Factory, then in Paris for a decade, and arrived at a way of painting that is both genuinely funny and genuinely unsettling.
The market rose steeply through the 2010s and has held. Paintings from the late 1990s and the 2010 Mental States period are the ones institutions chase.
We buy and sell Condo privately and can usually see a work before it reaches a catalogue.
