Take It from Here, Contemporary Art "I have so often stopped in surprise in front of a painting in a museum - in surprise, admiration and delight - and found it was a CAS donation. I hope the five works I have bought will similarly arrest people; leaving powerful, wondering impressions. " CELIA PLUNKETT buyerfor 1992 'There is nothing cosily reassuring about the new British art. Stubbornly insisting on asking hard questions, these clear-eyed men and women have no desire to provide comfort. At the same time, though, their vivacity and mordant humour are strangely heartening. The tough­ ness of their work generates its own exuberance, and promises well for their future development in a country 'Seldom can there have been a moment in recent times when so much innovative and which has so often done more to stifle visual art than exciting work has been produced by a great number of younger artists in Britain." nurture its essential strength."

  • Studio International Magazine: Tales from Peter Townsend’S Editorial Papers 1965-1975
    Studio International magazine: Tales from Peter Townsend’s editorial papers 1965-1975 Joanna Melvin 49015858 2013 Declaration of authorship I, Joanna Melvin certify that the worK presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this is indicated in the thesis. i Tales from Studio International Magazine: Peter Townsend’s editorial papers, 1965-1975 When Peter Townsend was appointed editor of Studio International in November 1965 it was the longest running British art magazine, founded 1893 as The Studio by Charles Holme with editor Gleeson White. Townsend’s predecessor, GS Whittet adopted the additional International in 1964, devised to stimulate advertising. The change facilitated Townsend’s reinvention of the radical policies of its founder as a magazine for artists with an international outlooK. His decision to appoint an International Advisory Committee as well as a London based Advisory Board show this commitment. Townsend’s editorial in January 1966 declares the magazine’s aim, ‘not to ape’ its ancestor, but ‘rediscover its liveliness.’ He emphasised magazine’s geographical position, poised between Europe and the US, susceptible to the influences of both and wholly committed to neither, it would be alert to what the artists themselves wanted. Townsend’s policy pioneered the magazine’s presentation of new experimental practices and art-for-the-page as well as the magazine as an alternative exhibition site and specially designed artist’s covers. The thesis gives centre stage to a British perspective on international and transatlantic dialogues from 1965-1975, presenting case studies to show the importance of the magazine’s influence achieved through Townsend’s policy of devolving responsibility to artists and Key assistant editors, Charles Harrison, John McEwen, and contributing editor Barbara Reise.

So, it seems appropriate now to reflect more widely beyond the normal hori- zon of the Annual Report. Our founders in 1768 comprised some of the greatest figures of the British Enlightenment, King George III, Reynolds, West and Chambers, supported and advised by a wider circle of thinkers and intellectuals such as Edmund Burke and Samuel Johnson. It is no exaggeration to suggest that their original inten- tions for what the Academy should be are closer to realisation than ever before. They proposed a school, an exhibition and a membership.

  • Gillian Wearing 28 March – 17 June 2012, Galleries 1, 8 & Victor Petitgas Gallery (Gallery 9)
    Gillian Wearing 28 March – 17 June 2012, Galleries 1, 8 & Victor Petitgas Gallery (Gallery 9) The Whitechapel Gallery presents the first major international survey of Turner Prize-winning British artist Gillian Wearing’s photographs and films which explore the public and private lives of ordinary people. Fascinated by how people present themselves in front of the camera in fly- on-the-wall documentaries and reality TV, Gillian Wearing explores ideas of personal identity through often masking her subjects and using theatre’s staging techniques. This major exhibition surveys Wearing’s work from the early photographs Signs that Say What You Want Them to Say and Not Signs that Say What Someone Else Wants You to Say (1992–3) to her latest video Bully (2010) and also includes several new photographs made specially for the Whitechapel Gallery exhibition. Visitors to the exhibition enter a film set-style installation showcasing photographs and films in ‘front and back stage’ areas. Highlights include a striking photograph of the artist posing as her younger self, Self-Portrait at 17 Years Old (2003), Dancing in Peckham (1994), a film which blurs the boundaries between public space and private expression as Wearing dances in the middle of a shopping mall, and the UK premiere of recent film Bully (2010). New photographic works shown for the first time include two portraits of Wearing as artists August Sander and Claude Cahun as part of her ongoing series of iconic photographers, as well as still lives of flowers, looking back to th the rich symbolism of the great age of 17 century Dutch painting.

  • New Works on Video by Young British Artists to Open at the Museum of Modern Art
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release December 1997 NEW WORKS ON VIDEO BY YOUNG BRITISH ARTISTS TO OPEN AT THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART New Video from Great Britain December 16,1997-February 1,1998 New Video from Great Britain, a survey of the remarkable new wave of work that has emerged from London and Glasgow in recent years, opens at The Museum of Modern Art on December 16, 1997. The program presents notable work by already established figures, such as Sam Taylor-Wood and Douglas Gordon, as well as emerging artists, some of whom are showing in New York for the first time. The two-hour program will be shown continuously in the Garden Hall Video Gallery on the Museum's third floor through February 1, 1998. The exhibition highlights the continuing penchant for conceptual- and performance-based works among young British video artists. Addressing themes of the body, personal identity, and subjectivity in ways that are provocative and playful, ironic and insightful, these works reveal an easygoing familiarity with popular culture that characterizes much of contemporary British life. "Simply and spontaneously shot (often on little more than a domestic camcorder), these 20 or so pieces have a visual impact, flair and invention that belies their low-tech origins and reverberates long after each tape has played," writes Steven Bode, Director of the Film and Video Umbrella, London, who organized the exhibition in conjunction with Barbara London, Associate Curator, and Sally Berger, Assistant Curator, Department of Film and Video, The Museum of Modern Art. -more- 11 West 53 Street, New York, New York 10019 Tel: 212-708-9400 Fax: 212-708-9889 2 "At first glance the young artists in this show appear to use the video camera to capture ordinary gestures, such as simply putting on clothes.

    PRESS RELEASE | LONDON FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE : 2 6 SEPTEMBER 2 0 1 6 BRIAN SEWELL, LESLIE WADDINGTON AND ART OF THE NINETIES : THE COLLECTORS THAT DEFINED LONDON’S ART WORLD FROM THE 1950s TO PRESENT DAY Top Row (L to R): Matthias Stomer, Brian Sewell and John Craxton, Middle Row (L to R): Leslie Waddington, Jean Dubuffet and Francis Picabia, Bottom Row (L to R): Douglas Gordon, Damien Hirst and Glenn Brown London – This autumn Christie’s will offer works from three private collections that trace the development and trajectory of the London art scene from the 1950s to present day. This begins with the collection of Brian Sewell, the Evening Standard’s late art critic, who was a Specialist in the Old Master Department at Christie’s in the 1950s and 60s, having graduated in Art History at the Courtauld Institute, and nurtured a keen appetite for Renaissance works that span the 1500s through to Modern British artists of the mid-20th century. He built up a distinctive collection and 248 lots will be offered on 27 September including paintings by the Flemish artist Matthias Stomer, works on paper by the likes of Daniele da Volterra and Joseph Anton Koch, and the British Modernism of Duncan Grant and Eliot Hodgkin. One of the most influential collectors that developed London’s tastes was Leslie Waddington, who arrived in the city in 1957 and went on to become one of the most prominent fine art dealers in modern times, introducing the art world to artists from Jean Dubuffet to Patrick Caulfield, bringing the British and European aesthetic to America for the first time, and American Abstract Expressionism to London.
