  • For Immediate Release
    For Immediate Release: As Is Is George Condo, John Currin, Chris Johanson, Emily Wardill, Lynette Yiadom-Boakye with a film program curated by Mary Helena Clark & Josh Minkus including Tony Buba, Jem Cohen, Kevin Jerome Everson, Liz Magic Laser, Saul Levine, Joan Logue, Anne McGuire May 7 – June 27, 2015 Opening reception May 7, 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. In 1874, the photographer Julia Margaret Cameron went to work on a series of photographic illustrations for Alfred Tennyson’s Arthurian series of poems, Idylls of the King. Cameron was neighbors with Tennyson on the Isle of Wight, and often enlisted him to sit for her. Cameron once complained, “I want to do a large photograph of Tennyson, and he objects! Says I make bags under his eyes.” In one picture, now one of the indelible images of the poet, Tennyson, outfitted in monastic robes, appears reflective, pious, and in need of a nap. Tennyson dubbed the photograph “The Dirty Monk.” In 1957, Richard Avedon was contracted to photograph the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. The media savvy couple arrived at Avedon’s studio prepared for a stock photo shoot. Knowing they were avid pug lovers (they kept several– Mr. Disraeli, Mr. Chu, Trooper, Imp, Davy Crockett) Avedon, intent on disrupting their carefully composed media face, told them that on his way over his taxi had run over a dog. While they winced in horror he snapped the now famous picture. In 1984, Don Bachardy painted the official gubernatorial portrait of Jerry Brown. One legislator described the work as looking like it was painted with “spilled ketchup and soy sauce.” The portrait proved so unpopular that it was moved to a third floor landing in the state capitol building, far from the other official portraits.

  • JOHN CURRIN: New Paintings
    G A G O S I A N G A L L E R Y October 23, 2010 PRESS RELEASE GAGOSIAN GALLERY 980 MADISON AVENUE T. 212.744.2313 NEW YORK NY 10075 F. 212.772.7962 GALLERY HOURS: Tue - Sat 10:00am - 6:00pm JOHN CURRIN: New Paintings Thursday, November 4 – Thursday, December 23, 2010 Opening reception for the artist: Thursday, November 4th, from 6 to 8 pm The people I paint don’t exist. The only thing that is real is the painting. It’s not like a photograph where there’s another reality that existed at a certain moment in time in the past. The image is only happening right now and this is the only version of it. To me, that’s fascinating. It’s an eternal moment. --John Currin Gagosian Gallery is pleased to present new paintings by John Currin. Currin’s depictions of the female figure enchant and repel, often in equal measure. Labeled as mannerist, caricaturist, radical conservative or satirist, Currin continues to confound expectations and evade categorization. While his meticulous and virtuosic technique is indebted to the history of classical painting, the images themselves engage startlingly contemporary ideas about the representation of the human figure. With inspirations as diverse as Old Master portraits, pin-ups, and mid-twentieth century B-movies, Currin continues to paint ideational yet challengingly perverse images of female subjects, from lusty nymphs to more ethereal feminine prototypes. With his uncanny ability to locate the point at which the beautiful and the grotesque are held in perfect balance, he continues to produce subversive portraits of idiosyncratic women in conventional settings.

  • Gagosian Gallery, at Its Beverly Hills Outpost (Through February 17), Makes That Abundantly Clear
    Vogue January 13, 2018 GAGOSIAN In L.A., Rachel Feinstein Finds Inspiration in the Victoria’s Secret Runway Show Dodie Kazanjian Rachel Feinstein studio image, 2017 Photo: Robert McKeever / Courtesy of Gagosian / © Rachel Feinstein It’s an understatement to say that the artist Rachel Feinstein is an over-the-top maximalist. Everything about her is larger than life, and “Secrets,” her debut show with the Gagosian gallery, at its Beverly Hills outpost (through February 17), makes that abundantly clear. This is also her first solo show in Los Angeles, and there’s not one iota of stage fright here. On view are eight life-size figurative sculptures made of high-density foam, 11 collage mirror paintings, and one large, all-white majolica figure made in the famous Nymphenburg porcelain factory in Munich. (She’s already working with the factory on making her L.A. sculptures in porcelain, for her next show.) Rachel’s love of the Rococo and the Baroque, mashed up with her inner, Coral Gables self-assurance that anything and everything goes, have given birth to some of the most insane figurative sculptures you’ll ever see: eight “Angels” based on Victoria’s Secret models, with names like Butterfly, Fireworks, Ballerina, Icicle, and Feathers—fantastical grotesque beauties, pinup girls gone wild. The sculptures are like animals, circus beasts, clowns, tragicomic confections. They wear wildly colorful baby doll lingerie, skimpy thongs, and gem-encrusted underthings. The luxurious plays ball with the gritty, romance with pornography, ostentatious chic with Rachel’s signature raw and goofy awkwardness, which flirts with but never quite tips into vulgarity.

The same can be said of Glenn Brown. They are both, instead, deeply ranging selection of contemporary representations of women. The exhibition, concerned with painting — the simple and not-so-simple application of pigment to which is drawn from a private collection, includes works by eleven of the most highly canvas. Applying their idiosyncratic and highly identifiable styles to images of acclaimed artists working today. Within these paintings, sculpture, and videos are women, they parse the satirical, the humorous, and the grotesque. both convergences and divergences in style, concept, and intent. Some artists, notably For Jeff Koons, like Condo and Brown, “woman as subject” is secondary to formal Jenny Saville and Cindy Sherman, examine the position of women in society from concerns. His Gazing Ball (Ariadne) is a spectacular sculpture — a juxtaposition an overtly feminist viewpoint. Others, such as Lisa Yuskavage and Rebecca Warren, of a Classical figure reproduced in gleaming white plaster and a deep blue, reflective, wrest control of explicit sexual imagery from the hands of men. Yet others, such as gazing ball. In other works from the Gazing Ball series, Koons combines his gazing George Condo, Glenn Brown, and Jeff Koons, show little to no concern with the politics balls with plaster mailboxes, birdbaths, and snowmen.

  • John Currin 23 November 2016 – 21 January 2017 1 Davies St London W1 Tuesday – Saturday, 11 – 6Pm
    Sadie Coles HQ John Currin 23 November 2016 – 21 January 2017 1 Davies St London W1 Tuesday – Saturday, 11 – 6pm In his sixth exhibition at Sadie Coles HQ, John Currin presents a group of five new paintings. In these, his enduring themes and preoccupations – sexual personae, social types, and historical painterly genres – appear in surreal new guises. The majority of the paintings depict a pair or couple, echoing the tradition of the marriage portrait. But incongruous elements have infiltrated each picture. Whimsical headdresses, animals, food and other visual non sequiturs push the compositions into ambiguous territory, a realm suspended between lucid realism and dreamlike allegory. In Currin’s latest paintings, the graphic sexuality which has marked his practice for the last decade is sublimated into playful, sometimes absurdist symbolism. In a portrait of two embracing women, one of the figures holds a paintbrush laden with creamy pigment, a fleck of which has dripped onto the other’s shirt. This strange gesture, in which the ‘frozen moment’ of painting seems to melt, rebounds against the placidity of the women’s expressions. One of them wears a veil-like headdress, casting her in the role of an odalisque. Here and throughout the works in the exhibition, Currin captures the tones and textures of real life with acute sensitivity – using multiple layers of paint to evoke patterned fabrics, translucent flesh, or the lustre of porcelain or ripe fruit. The picaresque or make-believe mood of each picture is thereby offset by an insistent realism, a sense of the tangibility of things. Symbols are also literal objects.

  • Frank Benson
    Sadie Coles HQ JOHN CURRIN 20 June – 25 August 2012 69 South Audley Street London W1 In his latest show at Sadie Coles HQ, John Currin presents a new series of paintings centred on the female nude. These latest works combine the explicitness of his pornographic paintings of the last five years with a new level of psychological realism. In contrast to those works, which drew upon 1970s magazines, the majority were painted directly from life in the artist‟s studio. They show reclining women who appear ambiguously caught between the art-historical trope of the female nude and an appearance of earthy naturalism. Paradigms of ideal womanhood (milky skin, alluring smiles) run up against incongruous details such as underarm hair and overabundant flesh. Otiose strings of pearls and expanses of lustrous fabric offset the ephemeral bodies in the fashion of memento mori. At the same time, there is a knowing parallel between the awkward artifice of the women‟s postures and nakedness, and the phoney luxury of their accoutrements and surroundings. Reflecting these shifts between the generic and the individualised, Currin has punctuated the anonymous series with a small portrait of his wife. But as with other models, her expression conveys an air of ethereal inscrutability. The women‟s smiles are frequently as enigmatic as the timeless „archaic smiles‟ of Greek statuary, while elsewhere their expressions are slipping into barely-concealed grimaces – as if directed back at the notional prurience and voyeurism of the viewer. An element of caricature recurs in many works, linking them with the faintly grotesque personae of Currin‟s earlier output.

  • A Return to Ar T Criticism Best Of: Vol. 1 2014-2015
    A RETURN TO ART CRITICISM A RETURN TO ART BEST OF: VOL. 1 2014-2015 Foreword ince October 2014, Momus has quickly become a trusted reference Sfor those wishing to reflect on contemporary art at a slightly slower pace, and with greater focus, than our online platform typically allows. We’ve published features, interviews, and reviews that have been widely read and shared, and cited by peer publications including artnet News, Hyperallergic, LA Times, Daily Serving, and Art F City. We’ve benefited from the support of esteemed arts patrons including Bruce Bailey and Ydessa Hendeles; and notes of endorsement from artists and writers including Frances Stark, Chris Kraus, Douglas Coupland, and the editor of Tate Etc., Simon Grant. The publication’s initial partnerships include a content-sharing relationship with artnet News, and a main media-partnership with Feature Art Fair. Further, Momus has recently engaged in a relationship with Tate Etc. We’ve initiated a curated Artworld Events Calendar representing our global artworld centers. It’s been a good start to something of already lasting value. In an effort to survey our achievements, here are twenty of our best- read and most valued articles to date. From Andrew Berardini’s well- loved “How To” series to a frank, slightly bawdy conversation between Sheila Heti and John Currin, criticism – in all its potential and pliability – has been upheld and regularly challenged on Momus’s pages. We demonstrate our appreciation of our writers by paying above-industry- average rates, something we intend to increase in the coming year. Patronage has been crucial to this publication’s early success and ability to support its contributors.

  • Great Museums Seem to Matter for the Locations on the Shortlist for Amazon’S HQ2
    Great museums seem to matter for the locations on the shortlist for Amazon’s HQ2 By Sebastian Smee April 20, 2018 Is it just by chance that almost all of the 20 cities and counties on the shortlist for Amazon’s second headquarters can boast access to great art museums? You can’t help noticing the correlation. Of the 238 cities and counties that applied for consideration, plenty have the population (over a million), the pleasant environs and the basic infrastructure Amazon seeks. But if they don’t also have an exceptional art museum — and preferably more than one — those cities didn’t make the cut. Amazon (whose founder and chief executive, Jeffrey P. Bezos, owns The Washington Post) says it expects to hire as many as 50,000 full-time employees over the next 10 to 15 years for its second headquarters, with an average annual total compensation exceeding $100,000. (Average pay at Amazon’s warehouses is a different story.) How do art museums come into it? Unemployment has been low for a while now. Demand for workers is high, supply tight. People qualified to expect high salaries tend to have the leisure time and surplus cash to pursue cultural aspirations. Companies trying to persuade them to move to where they are — and often to drag families with them — need to be conscious of those aspirations. That’s why, in the competition to secure the best and brightest, Amazon and other big companies care deeply about cultural offerings in the places they’re located. This isn’t just my hypothesis.
