BEN - LES GOLDEN BOYS
Title: Les golden boys de Wall Street fument du crack
Artist: Ben Vautier (born 1935)
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Dimensions: [Insert dimensions]
Signature: Signed and dated “Ben 97” (lower right)
Description:
Ben Vautier delivers a biting commentary on capitalism and financial culture. The text, rendered in his signature cursive style in vibrant blue acrylic, reads: “les golden boys de Wall Street fument du crack” ("the golden boys of Wall Street smoke crack").
Ben’s use of text as image forces a direct encounter between viewer and idea. This piece exemplifies his flair for mixing irony and protest, confronting the viewer with the absurdities and excesses of contemporary society. Like much of his oeuvre, it raises questions rather than answers — about money, morality, and the messages we choose to display.
