René, Salvador, Niki, Andy and the Children Meet Hopper, Warhol, Basquiat, Wood, Lichtenstein and Koons 29 (2025) is a unique work by French artist Gully, bringing together appropriation and homage within an imagined museum interior.

The composition assembles references to major figures of modern and contemporary art, including Edward Hopper, Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Grant Wood, Roy Lichtenstein and Jeff Koons. Familiar images are removed from their original contexts and brought together within a new exhibition space, populated by figures who move through and interact with the scene.

Appropriation is central to Gully’s practice, but here it also functions as a form of tribute. By borrowing and recontextualizing recognizable works and visual codes from art history, Gully pays homage to the artists who have shaped his own visual culture while constructing new relationships between their works.

The museum becomes a fictional meeting place across generations, where artists, artworks and viewers coexist within a narrative of Gully’s own making.
