This is another view of the Happy RIZZI House in Braunschweig, this is a different side of it (without cables in the way ;-) ).
I increased the contrast to express the wonderful colours of the building. I cropped the photo to center it and did a slight rotate. I will put the orig. on workshop.
I have one other photo of this wonderful building that I will share soon. Every side is so wonderfully different and interesting!

The Info:

The Happy RIZZI House in Braunschweig, Germany....Designed by James Rizzi.

James Rizzi (October, 1950) is a prominent American pop artist, who was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. He currently resides and works in a studio/loft in SoHo in Southern Manhattan.
Rizzi studied Fine Arts at the University of Florida at Gainesville, Florida. He came up with the idea of 3D multiples now mostly associated with his name when, having taken classes in painting, printmaking and sculpturing, he had to hand in grade work for all three subjects, but only had time for doing one. So he created an etching, printed it twice, handcolored it, and mounted parts of the one print on top of the other, using wire as a means of adding depth. Having received good grades from all three teachers, he stuck with the idea and developed it further.

Rizzi is most famous for his 3D artwork, "especially the large, elaborate prints and teeming anthropomorphic cityscapes. His merry maximalism and delight in delirious detail and elaborate minutiae created a true art brand, a trademark style as recognizable as any in the world". Recently, he has also returned to painting. His "latest paintings combine his Picasso meets Hanna-Barbera drawing style with an increasingly chromatic palette and a complex graphic structure that simultaneously evokes cubism and the most sophisticated Amerindian friezes." (Quotes from Glenn O'Brien, Foreword to "James Rizzi", 2006, with kind permission of the publisher).

Hi Paul,
I love that building full of colours and cheerfulness, this is exactly the kind of thing I like to visit for its originality and artistic side. Thanks to you, I know now more about James Rizzi and his work. However, I do prefer the original you put on the workshop. On the cropped photo, the buildings look a bit flattend while on the original, the POV is better and gives more depth to the general effect of the picture. Good idea, anyway.
Regards,
Christian
