La Popularisation Des Œuvres D'art. Étude Du Cas De Jean-Michel Université de Montréal La popularisation des œuvres d’art. Étude du cas de Jean-Michel Basquiat Par Sarah Dumaresq Département d’histoire de l’art et d’études cinématographiques Faculté des arts et des sciences Mémoire présenté à la Faculté des études supérieures en vue de l’obtention du grade de Maîtrise ès arts (M. A.) en histoire de l’art Août 2018 © Sarah Dumaresq, 2018 RÉSUMÉ Dans les années 1980, les œuvres de Jean-Michel Basquiat suscitent un vif intérêt au sein du monde de l'art, faisant de lui un artiste hautement sollicité par les galeristes et les autres spécialistes. Depuis, cet intérêt ne s’est pas démenti : les collectionneurs payent aujourd'hui des sommes faramineuses pour acquérir ses tableaux. Bien que l'artiste new-yorkais soit mort en 1988, l’intérêt se maintient et ses œuvres circulent à l’intérieur des cadres institutionnels. Toutefois, elles sortent aussi de ces cadres sous formes de reproductions pour se retrouver un peu partout dans l’espace public (autant dans l’industrie culturelle que sur Internet et sur les sites urbains). Un large public est ainsi exposé à des images qui ont comme origine un corpus particulier de l'histoire de l'art : celui des œuvres de Jean-Michel Basquiat. Nos recherches visent donc à étudier la popularisation des œuvres de Basquiat afin d’identifier les raisons menant à ce phénomène, visible actuellement dans l'espace public. Pour ce faire, il importe d'observer autant les œuvres d'art aisément reconnaissables de l'artiste que ses plus populaires, c'est-à-dire d'une part celles où figure la couronne à trois pointes qu'il peint de manière récurrente et, d'autre part, les œuvres ayant le plus tendance à être reproduites. Afin d'expliquer ce phénomène visuel, il importe de passer par des étapes fondamentales dans la recherche : d'abord en s’appuyant sur les théories de la culture proposées notamment par Pierre Bourdieu et Lawrence Levine pour éclairer sur les questions de distinctions entre le savant et le populaire; ensuite en nous attardant à la figure de l'artiste, au regard des théories développées par des sociologues de l’art comme Nathalie Heinich; et, enfin, en procédant à une enquête influencée par les théories d’Antoine Hennion, permettant d’observer et de retracer la circulation des œuvres d’art et des reproductions d’œuvres de Basquiat qui participent à une visibilité médiatique. Mots-clés : culture visuelle; peinture américaine; culture populaire; public; Jean-Michel Basquiat i ABSTRACT In the 1980s, Jean-Michel Basquiat’s artworks generated great interest in the art world, making him an artist in demand by gallerists and other specialists. This interest has remained unabated: today, collectors pay large amount of money to purchase his paintings. Even though the New York-born artist died in 1988, the enthusiasm persists and his works circulate inside the institutional sphere. Yet, they get outside the institutions to be part of the public space (on Internet and in the street area and distributed by the cultural industry). A large public is now exposed to images that comes from a special corpus of art history: Jean-Michel Basquiat’s art production. The aim of our research is to study the increasing popularity of Basquiat’s artworks in order to identify the reasons behind this phenomenon, now visible in the public space. To that end, it is important to analyze both his most visible artworks, as much as his most popular ones – for example, those where the crown appears – as well as the works that are the most often reproduced. To explain this phenomenon, it is also important to go through significant steps in the research : first by studying cultural theories supported by Pierre Bourdieu and Lawrence Levine to enlighten the questions surrounding the distinction between the “serious” and the “popular”; then by taking our attention towards the artist figure, in the sense of the theories developed by art sociologist such as Nathalie Heinich; finally, by proceeding in a search influenced by Antoine Hennion’s theories on mediation, helping to examine and to retrace the circulation of the reproductions of Basquiat’s artworks that takes part of a global media visibility. Key words : visual culture; American paintings; popular culture; public; Jean-Michel Basquiat. ii TABLE DES MATIÈRES Résumé .............................................................................................................................................. i Abstract ........................................................................................................................................... ii Table des matières .......................................................................................................................... iii Liste des figures ............................................................................................................................... iv Remerciements ................................................................................................................................ ix Introduction ........................................................................................................................ 1 1. – Entre culture savante et culture populaire ............................................................. 10 1.1 Les distinctions culturelles et les facteurs de démocratisation de l’art ................................. 11 1.1.1 L’art à l’épreuve des hiérarchies culturelles ................................................................ 11 1.1.2 Les techniques de reproduction et l’accessibilité aux œuvres d’art ............................ 15 1.2 La postmodernité et l’émergence d’une « nouvelle culture moyenne » .............................. 20 1.1.1 La diversité culturelle aux États-Unis ....................................................................... 22 1.1.2 Le Pop art et l’ère médiatique de la seconde partie du XXe siècle ........................... 24 1.3 Le web.

  • Jeanmichel Basquiat: an Analysis of Nine Paintings
    Jean­Michel Basquiat: An Analysis of Nine Paintings By Michael Dragovic This paper was written for History 397: History, Memory, Representation. The course was taught by Professor Akiko Takenaka in Winter 2009. Jean‐Michel Basquiat’s incendiary career and rise to fame during the 1980s was unprecedented in the world of art. Even more exceptional, he is the only black painter to have achieved such mystic celebrity status. The former graffiti sprayer whose art is inextricable from the backdrop of New York City streets penetrated the global art scene with unparalleled quickness. His work arrested the attention of big‐ shot art dealers such as Bruno Bischofberger, Mary Boone, and Anina Nosei, while captivating a vast audience ranging from vagabonds to high society. His paintings are often compared to primitive tribal drawings and to kindergarten scribbles, but these comparisons are meant to underscore the works’ raw innocence and tone of authenticity akin to the primitivism of Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Cy Twombly or, perhaps, even that of the infant mind. Be that as it may, there is nothing juvenile about the communicative power of Basquiat’s work. His paintings depict the physical and the abstract to express themes as varied as drug abuse, bigotry, jazz, capitalism, and mortality. What seem to be the most pervasive throughout his paintings are themes of racial and socioeconomic inequality and the degradation of life that accompanies this. After examining several key paintings from Basquiat’s brief but illustrious career, the emphasis on specific visual and textual imagery within and among these paintings coalesces as a marked—and often scathing— social commentary.

  • Schirn Presse Basquiat Boom for Real En
    BOOM FOR REAL: THE SCHIRN KUNSTHALLE FRANKFURT PRESENTS THE ART OF JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT IN GERMANY BASQUIAT BOOM FOR REAL FEBRUARY 16 – MAY 27, 2018 Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960–1988) is acknowledged today as one of the most significant artists of the 20th century. More than 30 years after his last solo exhibition in a public collection in Germany, the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt is presenting a major survey devoted to this American artist. Featuring more than 100 works, the exhibition is the first to focus on Basquiat’s relationship to music, text, film and television, placing his work within a broader cultural context. In the 1970s and 1980s, Basquiat teamed up with Al Diaz in New York to write graffiti statements across the city under the pseudonym SAMO©. Soon he was collaging baseball cards and postcards and painting on clothing, doors, furniture and on improvised canvases. Basquiat collaborated with many artists of his time, most famously Andy Warhol and Keith Haring. He starred in the film New York Beat with Blondie’s singer Debbie Harry and performed with his experimental band Gray. Basquiat created murals and installations for New York nightclubs like Area and Palladium and in 1983 he produced the hip-hop record Beat Bop with K-Rob and Rammellzee. Having come of age in the Post-Punk underground scene in Lower Manhattan, Basquiat conquered the art world and gained widespread international recognition, becoming the youngest participant in the history of the documenta in 1982. His paintings were hung beside works by Joseph Beuys, Anselm Kiefer, Gerhard Richter and Cy Twombly.

Remarkably, however, little has been said of the role discourse might play in the construction of artistic reputation. An obstacle to addressing this research gap is that discourse analytic approaches have been developed to analyse evaluation and the construction of legitimacy but not the construction of reputation.

  • The Museum of Modern Art (Moma)
    QUICK VIEW: Synopsis Since its inception in 1929, the Museum of Modern Art has continually redefined the idea of the museum in contemporary Western culture. Originally conceived by its founders as a place for Modern art to come and go (because what makes up modernism is constantly changing), MoMA, as it is commonly known, established a permanent collection in 1952 and has become the home for some of the greatest works of avant-garde painting, sculpture, film and multi-media art in the world. While MoMA remains true to its roots as a place where new styles of art can circulate, its permanent collection is widely considered the most impressive and diverse assortment of Modern art to ever exist, ranging from late-19th-century van Goghs, Monets and Gauguins to works produced in the present day. The idea of a Museum of Modern Art was once considered by critics to be an oxymoron. Its very existence posed the question: How can there be a museum (a permanent institution housing the heritage of human civilization) for Modern art (which embodies the ideal of always moving forward and constantly changing)? Rather than shy away from this paradox, MoMA has embraced its contradictory nature by appealing to both the history of Modernism and the legacy it continues to leave in the 21st century. Founding principles • The idea for the museum was first developed by a group of philanthropists, educators and museum curators, led by Abby Aldrich Rockefeller (wife of John D. Rockefeller), in 1928. They envisioned a modest-sized location in New York City that could essentially be a stop-over for some of Europe's finest Modern art.

  • FROM IMPRESSIONISM to POP ART Under the High Patronage of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco
    UNDER THE HIGH PATRONAGE OF HIS SERENE HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT II OF MONACO FROM IMPRESSIONISM TO POP ART Under the High Patronage of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco FROM IMPRESSIONISM TO POP ART Après l’immense succès de l’exposition “Picasso” en 2011, Opera Gallery Monaco présente cet été “de l’Impressionnisme au Pop Art”. Une exposition prestigieuse qui, à travers plus de 50 tableaux et dessins de grands Maîtres, nous permet de suivre la période de l’Histoire de l’Art qui va de la Révolution impressionniste au choc du Pop Art. Les tubes d’étain ont été inventés vers 1840, ils ont permis aux peintres impressionnistes de sortir de leur atelier pour aller peindre des paysages “sur le motif”, c’est-à-dire dans la nature. De la même manière, la peinture acrylique diluable à l’eau est créée en 1963, elle est immédiatement adoptée par les peintres Pop Art. Andy Warhol, est le premier utilisateur de cette peinture industrielle qui accompagne de manière pertinente son discours sur la société de consommation. Entre ces deux écoles illustrées par des tableaux de Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir d’un coté et Andy Warhol de l’autre, nous découvrons des œuvres de Fernand Léger, Marc Chagall mais aussi Joan Miró avec le splendide tableau Untitled, 1960 ou encore Fernando Botero. Enfin, nous n’avons pas résisté au plaisir de mettre en page de couverture du catalogue la gouache et aquarelle Les Grâces naturelles de René Magritte, un hommage au Maître du Surréalisme dans sa période influencée par Renoir, tout un symbole pour cette exposi- tion qui retrace la période de l’Histoire de l’Art aujourd’hui la plus prisée par les collectionneurs avertis et la plus recherchée par les amateurs de “valeurs refuges”.

  • Dennis Hopper, Photographs 1961–1967, Edited by Dennis Hopper and Tony Shafrazi
    Dennis Hopper, Photographs 1961–1967, edited by Dennis Hopper and Tony Shafrazi. Taschen, 2018 (484 pages). Joanna Elena Batsakis For fans of the prolific Hollywood artist Dennis Hopper, the re-release of Dennis Hopper, Photographs 1961–1967 is a sensational addition to the growing Hopper canon within Western film scholarship. Originally, the book was published as a limited-edition collector’s item in 2011, with a small run of 1,500 copies. Each copy was signed by Hopper himself, and there was an alternative option to purchase its even more prestigious version entitled Photographs 1961–1967 Art Edition, which included a gelatine print of Hopper’s infamous photograph Biker Couple (1961). In collaboration between The Hopper Art Trust, gallerist Tony Shafrazi, and Dennis Hopper, this original volume was massive in size: with 544 pages, its hardcover measured 30 centimetres in height by 33 centimetres in length and weighed 5.5 kilograms. The volume displayed dozens of black-and-white photographs Hopper had taken between 1961 and 1967, all on his Nikon Tri-X camera which was gifted to him by his first wife Brooke Hayward. The book also included introductory essays by Hopper’s long-time friends, such as Shafrazi and West Coast art pioneer Walter Hopps, as well as an extensive photographic biography authored by filmmaker and journalist Jessica Hundley. In 2018, Taschen and The Hopper Art Trust have co-operated to release a slightly smaller, unlimited trade edition of the same book, which is the subject of this review. Even though this year’s edition of has now been reduced to 484 pages and weighs 3.5 kilograms, the book is still an extremely ambitious project and integral to the Dennis Hopper canon.

O seu pai nasceu no Haiti e a sua mãe era de origem Porto Riquenha. Bas- quiat era o mais velho de três filhos. Aos três anos de idade Basquiat já tinha começado a traçar caricaturas e tentava desenhar figuras do que percepcionava do quotidiano. A sua mãe sempre incentivou Basquiat a desenhar e a relacionar tudo com o mundo das Artes. Aos seis anos, Basquiat tinha como hábito visitar o Mu- seu de Arte Moderna por influência de sua mãe que o acompanhava. Aos sete anos teve um acidente em que o seu braço ficou gravemente magoado. Devido a este acontecimento, a sua mãe oferecera a Basquiat, durante a recuperação, o livro “Gray’s Anatomy”. 3 Esse mesmo livro foi o que o ajudou e influenciou nas suas representações humanas e posteriormente o livro também serviu de referência para a sua banda musi- cal formada em 1979, que deu pelo nome de “Gray’s” e durante algum tempo foi uma banda de sucesso. O divórcio de seus pais foi algo que o abalou muito na sua adolescência, levando-o a fugir muitas vezes de casa. Devido aos seus problemas familiares, em 1977 Basquiat é encaminhado para uma escola de crianças dotadas. 4 Carreira Nessa altura conhece Al Diaz e prospera a amizade entre os dois,criam juntos o projecto “SAMO”, com o significado “Same Old Shit”.
