H.R Giger, 1940-2014
(Long) list of works:
1, 2 and 3: What I assume are early versions of the Pisces, Capricorn and Ares statues from Giger's 'zodiac fountain' project, 1996. Pictures by Louis Stalder from https://www.hrgiger.com/zodiac.htm
4 (and 6): The "Harkonnen Chair" series. 1981, created from fibreglass for the never completed film 'DUNE' (dir. Alejandro Jodorowsky). 4 is from https://www.hrgiger.com/chairs.htm (no image credit)
5 (and 28): Giger's microphone stand designed for the band 'Korn', in roughly 2001. 1 of 5 works in that series. (side note the website I found it on through google images is a gaming website that also apparently hosts pictures of Giger's Korn mic stand??) also referred to as 'Nubian Queen' on his website.
6: See 4
7: Concept art of the "space jockey" in 'Alien', 1979. Giger also directed the creation of the alien and set (!!).
8: 'Mirror Image' 1977, airbrush painting.
9. Depiction of the alien life cycle for the 1979 'Alien' film.
10. part IV of Giger's N.Y City portfolio, 'Torso 456'. 1980-1982.
11. One of the 'Birth machine baby' sculptures, inspired by the 1967 drawing "Birthmachine".
12: Part of the 'Erotomechanics' series, 1979.
13: I couldn't find much on this one, on Giger's website it is called 'Bei Sydow-Zirkwitz' and the image I found of it is an (unverified) print being sold online that claims to be an original lithograph/stone print from 1976. Also calls it "Promethius New York city." They seem to be largely the same, I just chose this one for higher quality.
14. 'Homage to S. Beckett I', 1968 (This series is one of my favourites and this one is often linked to Dali's painting 'The Great Masturbator', which I thought was interesting).
15, 16: Photographs by Pino Carafa, from Giger's Nov-Dec 1996 exhibition in Milan. The head has a placard that looks like it reads 'Mask 11', but with a quick look into it I couldn't find a proper name or identification for these pieces except for their presence in the past exhibits on the HR Giger website.
17: 'Drawing for sil/Sil's baby', 1994 (?) a sketch I only found because of the Giger database which is an amazingly detailed and and easy to access record of literally everything Giger ever did, here it is (https://www.littlegiger.com/gigerdb/index.php) the images are tiny however :(
18: Noracyclin (contraceptive-pill) 1965, same source as above - H.R Giger has said this and the 'birthmachine'/baby theme throughout his work are (partly) demonstrations of his fears for the planet due to overpopulation
19: From the page on Giger's website about the bars across the world that use his designs and imagery. The image is an example of the bar in Gruyères, Switzerland, which opened in 2003.
20, 21 and 24: 'Biomechanoid' statues, the one with the green/blue finish created 2010, the silver one 2002.
22: A photograph of H.R Giger and a model from one of the 'Alien' films. From the Giger Work Catalogue, image owned by Matthias Belz, as are 20, 24, 25 and 26.
23: 'The Great Beast', Giger's concept art for the 1985 film 'Poltergeist'.
24: See 20 & 21
25: 'Guardian Angel', sculpture from 2002. Could also be the rusted version.

I was about to make a joke about an artist with lists of "Will Do" and "Won't Do" kinks on their commission sheet, except the "Will Dos" mean they will find a way to include those kinks in the finished piece, no matter what the spec is, like they'll figure out how to incorporate foot worship into a landscape painting or whatever, but then I realised that I was just describing H R Giger.
