Conceived by Elena Geuna and Guy Tosatto, direc- tor of the Musée de Grenoble, in close collaboration with The Estate of Sigmar Polke, the exhibi- tion spans the artist’s entire career from the 1960s to the 2000s and underlines the variety of his artistic practice. It brings together nearly ninety works from the Pinault Collection and numerous other public and private collections. This retrospective is part of Palazzo Grassi’s exhibition programme that alternates thematic exhi- bitions based on the Pinault Collection and personal shows dedicated to major contemporary ar- tists. It marks a double celebration in 2016: the 10th anniversary of the reopening of Palazzo Gras- si by François Pinault and the 30th anniversary of Sigmar Polke’s participation to the 1986 Venice Biennale, when he was awarded the Golden Lion. -

The Encrypted Object: the Secret World of Sixties Sculpture
Title Page The Encrypted Object: The Secret World of Sixties Sculpture Joanne Louise Applin University College London PhD nL ABSTRACT This thesis examines the work of artists Lucas Samaras,Lee Bontecou and HC Westermann, specifically the way in which they have been excluded from dominant accounts of 1960s sculptural practice. I explore the ways in which a theory of 'secrecy' provides a framework through which to think about each of these artists. Chapter one focuses on Samaras's use of small-scale boxes in relation to his dialogue with the Minimal cubic structure, whilst the second chapter examines the structures of Bontecou in terms of their 'secrecy'. Working from welded steel armatures, Bontecou developed a unique practice of stretching dirty, worn skeins of fabric over the metal structure, always with a gaping hole backed with black felt, a disturbing void (MA around which the surface is organised and the spectatorial encounter disturbed. Unlike the voracious mode of looking Bontecou's works engender, or the partial, fragmented 'peering' offered by Samaras's boxes, Westermann's works require a type of looking that has more in common with the physical act of 'drifting'. I cast both the viewing experience and the mode of construction Westermann's works demand, in terms of 'bricolage' and 'braconnage' (or 'poaching). The concluding chapter analyses the role of the artistic homage and notion of influence, taking as model the work of psychoanalysts Nicolas Abraham and Maria Torok on haunting and secrecy in relation to the work of Westermann alongside that of Bruce Nauman and Rachel Whiteread. In chapter four I introduce the idea of the 'phantom, as a way of thinking through the problems of inheritance at work in the artistic homage in terms of a series of ruptures, using Abraham and Toroks' concept of the 'transgenerational phantom', in which familial secretsare unwittingly inherited by one's ancestors. -
FIRST MAJOR US RETROSPECTIVE of the WORK of PAUL THEK to OPEN at the WHITNEY October 21, 2010-January 9, 2011
FIRST MAJOR US RETROSPECTIVE OF THE WORK OF PAUL THEK TO OPEN AT THE WHITNEY October 21, 2010-January 9, 2011 Peter Hujar, Thek in the Palermo Catacombs , 1963 (reproduced from the original negative, 2010). © 1987 The Peter Hujar Archive LLC; courtesy Matthew Marks Gallery, New York NEW YORK, October 20, 2010 – An artist who defies classification, Paul Thek (1933-1988), the sculptor, painter, and creator of radical installations who was hailed for his work in the 1960s and early 70s, then nearly eclipsed within his own short lifetime, is the subject of an upcoming retrospective co-organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art and Carnegie Museum of Art. Paul Thek: Diver, A Retrospective , the first major exhibition in the United States to explore more… Paul Thek: Diver, A Retrospective , 2 the work of the legendary American artist, debuts in the Whitney’s fourth-floor Emily Fisher Landau Galleries, from October 21, 2010 to January 9, 2011; it travels to Carnegie Museum of Art, from February 5 to May 1, 2011, and then to the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, from May 22 to September 4, 2011. Co-curators Elisabeth Sussman, curator and Sondra Gilman Curator of Photography at the Whitney, and Lynn Zelevansky, the Henry J. Heinz II Director of Carnegie Museum of Art, write in their catalogue introduction, “If today his art appears more relevant than ever, it may be because so many in the art world have hearkened to Thek’s tune and moved closer to the art he made: an art directly about the body; an art of moods, mysteries, and communal ideas; an art that was ephemeral, disrespectful of the conditions of museums, and that essentially ceased to exist once an exhibition closed.” The title of the exhibition, “Diver,” refers to paintings that Thek made in 1969-70 on the island of Ponza, off the coast of southern Italy, possibly inspired by the cover slab from the Tomb of the Diver , an ancient fresco unearthed in Paestum in 1968. -

Fit to Print May 1 – June 30, 2021
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 20, 2021 CONTACT: Mikaela Hawk, [email protected] Fit to Print May 1 – June 30, 2021 PHILADELPHIA, PA – (April 20, 2021) The Print Center is pleased to present Fit to Print, an online exhibition which explores the use of newspapers in art from the post-war era to the present day. It addresses how artists work with the medium of newsprint as a nexus where the studio, everyday life and current events perennially merge and collide. This exploration is particularly timely in an age when truth in news is fractured and suspect, due to the proliferation of sensationalist stories pitted against traditional sources of journalism. Fit to Print features Lisa Blas, Jennifer Bolande, Chryssa, Laura Fields, Jef Geys, Beatriz González, Helena Hernmarck, Rita Maas, Dan Perjovschi, Donna Ruff, Soledad Salamé and Paul Thek. The works of these twelve modern and contemporary artists reveal slippages between everyday life and what is depicted and recounted on the printed, published page. In this exhibition, they present visual spaces of rupture as sites for re-inscription, socio-political critique and material transformation. In each artwork, image and language oscillate, stretching notions of time and triggering memories. The urgency and implications of our engagement with the news is highlighted, asking viewers, “What do you read, what do you retain, what do you share?” Lisa Blas, First(s), Monday’s image, v. 2, Fit to Print is inspired by the legacy of artists who have harnessed the 2021, dye sublimation print, 40” x 32”.

FONDATION VINCENT VAN GOGH ARLES – PRESS KIT VAN GOGH – PRÉ-POP “Pop” stands for a variety of things, but above all for the “culture of the many”. In this symposium under the title “Van Gogh – Pre Pop”, the immense popularity of Vincent van Gogh forms the starting point for a discussion of how mass culture entered into his art in the past and continues to infiltrate it today. On the premise that the popular culture of today is part of a development whose genesis lies in the second half of the 19th century, looking at Van Gogh offers a unique opportunity to examine how a knowledgeable artist with a lively mind engaged with the products of new imaging technologies and with their pictorial worlds. This is the period when prints are proliferating – as albums, wall décor and magazine illustrations, sometimes with a socially progressive thrust. Vincent is both an avid collector and a discerning commentator of this popular visual material, of which he undoubtedly allows important aspects to flow into his work both at the level of form and content – even as his art becomes avant-garde in its orientation.
