  • PRESS RELEASE Los Angeles Collectors Jane and Marc
    PRESS RELEASE Los Angeles Collectors Jane and Marc Nathanson Give Major Artworks to LACMA Art Will Be Shown with Other Promised Gifts at 50th Anniversary Exhibition in April (Image captions on page 3) (Los Angeles, January 26, 2015)—The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is pleased to announce eight promised gifts of art from Jane and Marc Nathanson. The Nathansons’ gift of eight works of contemporary art includes seminal pieces by Damien Hirst, Roy Lichtenstein, Frank Stella, Andy Warhol, and others. The bequest is made in honor of LACMA’s 50th anniversary in 2015. The gifts kick off a campaign, chaired by LACMA trustees Jane Nathanson and Lynda Resnick, to encourage additional promised gifts of art for the museum’s anniversary. Gifts resulting from this campaign will be exhibited at LACMA April 26–September 7, 2015, in an exhibition, 50 for 50: Gifts on the Occasion of LACMA’s Anniversary. "What do you give a museum for its birthday? Art. As we reach the milestone of our 50th anniversary, it is truly inspiring to see generous patrons thinking about the future generations of visitors who will enjoy these great works of art for years and decades to come,” said Michael Govan, LACMA CEO and Wallis Annenberg Director. “Jane and Marc Nathanson have kicked off our anniversary year in grand fashion.” Jane Nathanson added, “I hope these gifts will inspire others to make significant contributions in the form of artwork as we look forward not only to the 50th anniversary of the museum, but to the next 50 years.

    Artsy April 2, 2019 GAGOSIAN How Takashi Murakami Got His Start as an Artist Scott Indrisek “At the studio I rented for $80 a month on Lorimer Street in Brooklyn, uncertain whether I would have anything to eat the next day.” © Takashi Murakami/Kaikai Kiki Co., Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Courtesy of Gagosian. In the second installment of a new series, we continue to shine a light on the tumultuous early days of artists who have since become household names. Takashi Murakami, 57, may now be an international art star and a cultural icon, but he was once a disgruntled student, bored with his conservative schooling and dreaming of better things. Indeed, when he was just starting out, Murakami claimed no special status as an artist. “I was never particularly talented at drawing or painting,” he said; hard work, practice, and determination would sharpen those skills. He had his first solo show in 1989, at Tokyo’s Ginza Surugadai Gallery, and began traveling from his native Japan to New York City around that time. Murakami always thought of New York as one of the art world’s vital centers, and he was willing to struggle in order to absorb what it had to offer. He recalled once renting a studio on Lorimer Street in Brooklyn for a mere $80 a month (“uncertain whether I would have anything to eat the next day,” he added). In 1994, he landed a residency in the prestigious PS1 International Studio Program. These early experiences helped shape Murakami’s unique artistic vision. The hyperconfident artist would eventually become a global brand, his manga-inspired creations taking over the world—one wild sculpture and painting at a time.

  • Press Release
    Press Release Abigail Lane Tomorrows World, Yesterdays Fever (Mental Guests Incorporated) Victoria Miro Gallery, 4 October – 10 November 2001 The exhibition is organized by the Milton Keynes Gallery in collaboration with Film and Video Umbrella The Victoria Miro Gallery presents a major solo exhibition of work by Abigail Lane. Tomorrows World, Yesterdays Fever (Mental Guests Incorporated) extends her preoccupation with the fantastical, the Gothic and the uncanny through a trio of arresting and theatrical installations which are based around film projections. Abigail Lane is well known for her large-scale inkpads, wallpaper made with body prints, wax casts of body fragments and ambiguous installations. In these earlier works Lane emphasized the physical marking of the body, often referred to as traces or evidence. In this exhibition Lane turns inward giving form to the illusive and intangible world of the psyche. Coupled with her long-standing fascination with turn-of-the-century phenomena such as séances, freak shows, circus and magic acts, Lane creates a “funhouse-mirror reflection” of the life of the mind. The Figment explores the existence of instinctual urges that lie deep within us. Bathed in a vivid red light, the impish boy-figment beckons us, “Hey, do you hear me…I’m inside you, I’m yours…..I’m here, always here in the dark, I am the dark, your dark… and I want to play….”. A mischievous but not sinister “devil on your shoulder” who taunts and tempts us to join him in his wicked game. The female protagonist of The Inclination is almost the boy-figment’s antithesis.

  • Aftershock: the Ethics of Contemporary Transgressive
    HORRORSHOW 5 The Transvaluation of Morality in the Work of Damien Hirst I don’t want to talk about Damien. Tracey Emin1 With these words Tracey Emin deprived the art world of her estimation of her nearest contemporary and perhaps the most notorious artist associated with the young British art phenomenon. Frustrating her interviewer’s attempt to discuss Damien Hirst is of course entirely Emin’s prerogative; why should she be under any obligation to discuss the work of a rival artist in interview? Given the theme of this book, however, no such discursive dispensation can be entertained. Why Damien Hirst? What exactly is problematic about Hirst’s art? It is time to talk about Damien. An early installation When Logics Die (1991) provides a useful starting point for identifying the features of the Hirstean aesthetic. High-definition, post- mortem forensic photographs of a suicide victim, a road accident fatality and a head blown out by a point-blank shotgun discharge are mounted on aluminium above a clinical bench strewn with medical paraphernalia and biohazard material. Speaking to Gordon Burn in 1992, the artist explained that what intrigued him about these images was the incongruity they involve: an obscene content yet amenable to disinterested contemplation in the aesthetic mode as a ‘beautiful’ abstract form. ‘I think that’s what the interest is in. Not in actual corpses. I mean, they’re completely delicious, desirable images of completely undesirable, unacceptable things. They’re like cookery books.’2 Now remember what he’s talking about here. Sustained, speculative and clinically detached, Hirst’s preoccupation with the stigmata of decomposition, disease and mortal suffering may be considered to violate instinctive taboos forbidding pleasurable engagement with the spectacle of death.

  • Stephen Snoddy
    Stephen Snoddy During his precocious student years at Belfast College of Art, Stephen Snoddy never stopped painting. Driven by a powerful urge to explore and define his own vision of the world, this energetic young man produced an impressive body of work. It eventually ensured that he graduated with an MA in 1983, but within 4 years Snoddy put down his brushes. He did not pick them up again for over 20 years, and pursued instead a distinguished career as the director of maJor galleries across Britain. All the creative dynamism which had fuelled his youthful paintings became channelled into curating ambitious exhibitions and building collections. Then, quite suddenly, he experienced a mind-altering revelation. In 2012 his mother gave him a book (8 x 8) containing the series of 64 monoprints he had made way back in 1981 which had been produced serially over a few days. Monoprints differ from editioned prints in that only one impression is taken from a plate; reusing the plate for multiple unique prints allowed Snoddy to incorporate the erasures, palimpsests, and ghosts of previous explorations into subsequent work that became 8 sets of 8 monoprints. Leafing through these exuberant images, all of which had retained their original freshness, Snoddy felt overwhelmed and galvanised. The vision he had managed to develop as a student stirred his imagination once again. The sensuous monoprints made him determined to recover this creative impulse and pursue it further. So he began looking objectively back through slides of all his student paintings, rediscovering the sheer intensity which had driven him to produce such a prolific outpouring of early work.

  • THBT Social Disgust Is Legitimate Grounds for Restriction of Artistic Expression
    Published on idebate.org (http://idebate.org) Home > THBT social disgust is legitimate grounds for restriction of artistic expression THBT social disgust is legitimate grounds for restriction of artistic expression The history of art is full of pieces which, at various points in time, have caused controversy, or sparked social disgust. The works most likely to provoke disgust are those that break taboos surrounding death, religion and sexual norms. Often, the debate around whether a piece is too ‘disgusting’ is interwoven with debate about whether that piece actually constitutes a work of art: people seem more willing to accept taboo-breaking pieces if they are within a clearly ‘artistic’ context (compare, for example, reactions to Michelangelo’s David with reactions to nudity elsewhere in society). As a consequence, the debate on the acceptability of shocking pieces has been tied up, at least in recent times, with the debate surrounding the acceptability of ‘conceptual art’ as art at all. Conceptual art1 is that which places an idea or concept (rather than visual effect) at the centre of the work. Marchel Duchamp is ordinarily considered to have begun the march towards acceptance of conceptual art, with his most famous piece, Fountain, a urinal signed with the pseudonym “R. Mutt”. It is popularly associated with the Turner Prize and the Young British Artists. This debate has a degree of scope with regards to the extent of the restriction of artistic expression that might be being considered here. Possible restrictions include: limiting display of some pieces of art to private collections only; withdrawing public funding (e.g.

    Financial Times January 20, 2020 GAGOSIAN Living with Damien Hirst and friends Robert Tibbles was an early collector of the Young British Artists — now he is preparing to sell many of his acquisitions Melanie Gerlis Caption (TNR 9 Italicized) Everyone likes to say that they discovered an artist before they were famous, but in the case of the London bond salesman Robert Tibbles, the claim is true. Back in the 1980s, the late art dealer Karsten Schubert introduced Tibbles to the work of an art student called Damien Hirst. Alongside Charles Saatchi, Tibbles then became one of the now-superstar artist’s first buyers. So began an intense, 15-year collecting spree, mostly of works by Hirst and other Young British Artists. These now dominate Tibbles’s Victorian ground-floor flat in London’s leafy Kensington, where an early Hirst spot painting, “Antipyrylazo III” (1994), has loomed almost too large over the living room fireplace since Tibbles bought it in the year it was made. Hanging nearby is another early purchase — Hirst’s degree-show medicine cabinet “Bodies” (1989) — a work that demonstrates Tibbles’s aptitude for picking the right time in the art market as well as the debt markets. He bought the cabinet for £600 (again, in the year it was made) and now, as Tibbles prepares to sell much of his YBA collection at auction at Phillips in London, the cabinet is valued between £1.2m and £1.8m. “There’s no question that the medicine cabinet and other works were not liked or understood by many of my friends.

    Artforum January, 2000 GAGOSIAN 1999 Carnegie International Carnegie Museum of Art Katy Siegel When you walk into the lobby of the Carnegie Museum, the program of this year’s International announces itself in microcosm. There in front of you is atmospheric video projection (Diana Thater), a deadpan disquisition on the nature of representation (Gregor Schneider’s replication of his home), a labor-intensive, intricate installation (Suchan Kinoshita), a bluntly phenomenological sculpture (Olafur Eliasson), and flat, icy painting (Alex Katz). Undoubtedly the best part of the show, the lobby is also an archi-tectural site of hesitation, a threshold. Here the installation encapsulates the exhi-bition’s sense of historical suspen-sion, another kind of hesitation. Ours is a time not of endings but of pause. My favorite work, viewed through the museum’s huge glass wall, was the Eliasson, a fountain of steam wafting vertically from an expanse of water on a platform through which trees also rise up. It’s a heart-throbbing romantic landscape. Romantic, but not naive: The work plays on the tradition of the courtyard fountain, and the steam is piped from the museum’s heating system. Combining the natural and the industrial in a way peculiarly appro-priate to Pittsburgh on a quiet Sunday morning in early autumn, it echoed two billows of steam (or, more queasily, smoke?) off in the distance. When blunt physical fact achieves this kind of lyricism, it is something to see. Upstairs in the galleries, Ernesto Neto’s Nude Plasmic, 1999, relies as well on the phenomenology of simple form, but the Brazilian artist avoids Eliasson’s picturesque imagery.

  • Related Press 10 Unmissable Exhibitions As London's Galleries
    Culture Whisper 10 unmissable exhibitions as London's galleries reopen 8 April 2021 10 unmissable exhibitions as London's galleries reopen London's commercial galleries are reopening from 12 April with the gradual easing of lockdown and we can't wait to don our walking shoes. Here are our top exhibition picks. But remember to check the gallery websites before visiting, as many will require pre-booking ahead of your visit. Stephen Friedman Stephen Friedman gallery is re-opening with three vibrant shows. Inspired by the rainforests of South America, Luiz Zerbini’s exhibition of paintings will bring some Brazilian colour to London this April as he explores the relationship between nature and humanity. A group exhibition titled Threadbare will tackle gender, sexuality and race with arresting installations by Jonathan Baldock, Huguette Caland, Jeffrey Gibson and Tau Lewis. Stephen Friedman Gallery will also be launching a group show at The London House of Modernity, celebrating all things Nordic. All of these exhibitions will open 13 April. David Zwirner On 15 April David Zwirner will be opening its doors again with two exhibitions. At 24 Grafton Street a posthumous show of works by Antiguan polymath Frank Walker will demonstrate the range and depth of this little- known artist’s work. In the gallery’s upper room you can take in the strange and sometimes haunting works of Luc Tuymans. Created during lockdown, these works speak of introspection and a worldview mediated through the distorted lens of the internet. Gagosian On 12 April, Gagosian will be re-opening its London sites. At 6–24 Britannia Street you can catch Damien Hirst’s Fact Paintings and Fact Sculptures, an exhibition which will bring together 15 years worth of hyperreal paintings and sculptures, taking in world events, together with elements from the artist's personal life, such as the birth of his son.
