  • The Rise of Pop
    Expos 20: The Rise of Pop Fall 2014 Barker 133, MW 10:00 & 11:00 Kevin Birmingham (birmingh@fas) Expos Office: 1 Bow Street #223 Office Hours: Mondays 12:15-2 The idea that there is a hierarchy of art forms – that some styles, genres and media are superior to others – extends at least as far back as Aristotle. Aesthetic categories have always been difficult to maintain, but they have been particularly fluid during the past fifty years in the United States. What does it mean to undercut the prestige of high art with popular culture? What happens to art and society when the boundaries separating high and low art are gone – when Proust and Porky Pig rub shoulders and the museum resembles the supermarket? This course examines fiction, painting and film during a roughly ten-year period (1964-1975) in which reigning cultural hierarchies disintegrated and older terms like “high culture” and “mass culture” began to lose their meaning. In the first unit, we will approach the death of the high art novel in Thomas Pynchon’s The Crying of Lot 49, which disrupts notions of literature through a superficial suburban American landscape and through the form of the novel itself. The second unit turns to Andy Warhol and Pop Art, which critics consider either an American avant-garde movement undermining high art or an unabashed celebration of vacuous consumer culture. In the third unit, we will turn our attention to The Rocky Horror Picture Show and the rise of cult films in the 1970s. Throughout the semester, we will engage art criticism, philosophy and sociology to help us make sense of important concepts that bear upon the status of art in modern society: tradition, craftsmanship, community, allusion, protest, authority and aura.

  • Andy Warhol: When Junkies Ruled the World
    Nebula 2.2 , June 2005 Andy Warhol: When Junkies Ruled the World. By Michael Angelo Tata So when the doorbell rang the night before, it was Liza in a hat pulled down so nobody would recognize her, and she said to Halston, “Give me every drug you’ve got.” So he gave her a bottle of coke, a few sticks of marijuana, a Valium, four Quaaludes, and they were all wrapped in a tiny box, and then a little figure in a white hat came up on the stoop and kissed Halston, and it was Marty Scorsese, he’d been hiding around the corner, and then he and Liza went off to have their affair on all the drugs ( Diaries , Tuesday, January 3, 1978). Privileged Intake Of all the creatures who populate and punctuate Warhol’s worlds—drag queens, hustlers, movie stars, First Wives—the drug user and abuser retains a particular access to glamour. Existing along a continuum ranging from the occasional substance dilettante to the hard-core, raging junkie, the consumer of drugs preoccupies Warhol throughout the 60s, 70s and 80s. Their actions and habits fascinate him, his screens become the sacred place where their rituals are projected and packaged. While individual substance abusers fade from the limelight, as in the disappearance of Ondine shortly after the commercial success of The Chelsea Girls , the loss of status suffered by Brigid Polk in the 70s and 80s, or the fatal overdose of exemplary drug fiend Edie Sedgwick, the actual glamour of drugs remains, never giving up its allure. 1 Drugs survive the druggie, who exists merely as a vector for the 1 While Brigid Berlin continues to exert a crucial influence on Warhol’s work in the 70s and 80s—for example, The Philosophy of Andy Warhol , as detailed by Bob Colacello in the chapter “Paris (and Philosophy )”—her street cred.

  • California State University, Northridge Exploitation
    CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, NORTHRIDGE EXPLOITATION, WOMEN AND WARHOL A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Art by Kathleen Frances Burke May 1986 The Thesis of Kathleen Frances Burke is approved: Louise Leyis, M.A. Dianne E. Irwin, Ph.D. r<Iary/ Kenan Ph.D. , Chair California State. University, Northridge ii DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to Dr. Mary Kenon Breazeale, whose tireless efforts have brought it to fruition. She taught me to "see" and interpret art history in a different way, as a feminist, proving that women's perspectives need not always agree with more traditional views. In addition, I've learned that personal politics does not have to be sacrificed, or compartmentalized in my life, but that it can be joined with a professional career and scholarly discipline. My time as a graduate student with Dr. Breazeale has had a profound effect on my personal life and career, and will continue to do so whatever paths my life travels. For this I will always be grateful. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In addition, I would like to acknowledge the other members of my committee: Louise Lewis and Dr. Dianne Irwin. They provided extensive editorial comments which helped me to express my ideas more clearly and succinctly. I would like to thank the six branches of the Glendale iii Public Library and their staffs, in particular: Virginia Barbieri, Claire Crandall, Fleur Osmanson, Nora Goldsmith, Cynthia Carr and Joseph Fuchs. They provided me with materials and research assistance for this project. I would also like to thank the members of my family.

  • Keith Haring's Door, Andy Warhol's Moose & Christo's Gates
    For Immediate Release Contact: Sydney Masters [email protected] | (212)-987-6804 Keith Haring’s Door, Andy Warhol’s Moose & Christo’s Gates & Rare Rolls Royce to be auctioned by Guernsey’s May 12 New York, NY – April 12, 2021 – A graffiti tagged Refrigerator Door and mounted Moose Head are among the unique items belonging to iconic artists Keith Haring, Andy Warhol and Christo that will be sold at Guernsey’s “Urban Gems” Auction on Wednesday, May 12, 2021. During his rise to fame in the 1980s, Haring’s walkup apartment in SoHo became the hub of New York City’s art scene. Drenched in a wild array of Haring’s signature images and colors, it was the “place to be” for superstars, including Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Madonna and more Graffiti artists than could fill a subway car. Haring’s sign-in “guest register” … his Refrigerator Door! That Door, complete with Haring’s own writing and art along with “Madonna loves Keith,” “JM" (Jean-Michel) and over 82 more tags will be sold without reserve in an unprecedented Urban Gems Auction that will also include Andy Warhol’s statuesque mounted Moose Head. Often pictured together, Warhol and the Moose appeared prominently in the New York Times back in 2018. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Moose will go in support of the ASPCA. In February 2005, a saffron-colored wave swept over New York City as the artist known as Christo used Central Park as his pallet, creating his now famous 23-mile long exhibition - The Gates - that captivated the hearts of many urbanites.

  • Andy Warhol. CARS. MAC Museum Art & Cars, Singen 26 October 2014
    Andy Warhol. CARS. MAC Museum Art & Cars, Singen 26 October 2014 – 17 May 2015 A co-operation with the Daimler Art Collection, Stuttgart/Berlin and Mercedes-Benz Classic, Stuttgart The exhibition "Andy Warhol. Cars" at the MAC – Museum Art & Cars Singen presents the Pop-artist's significant picture series from the Daimler Art Collection in a unique dialogue with historical sports cars. The Cars series has been on display in important museums around the world. In 2010 the entire series was exhibited at the Museum Albertina Wien – but without the original historical cars. The show at the MAC – Museum Art & Cars will contrast 40 pictures from the Cars series with selected models from the Mercedes-Benz Classic Collection, such as the Formula-1 racing car W196 R, the 300 SL "Gullwing" or the experimental car C 111, and continues the museum's unique exhibition concept of establishing a dialogue between art, automobile and architecture. Alongside the history of the Cars series, the exhibition questions Warhol's significance in the field of commissioned art and the link between art and product design. As a well known and rooted venue in the region and beyond, the MAC – Museum Art & Cars contributes again with this exhibition to an exchange of ideas on art in the context of an automobile culture. The MAC – Museum Art & Cars Singen, located in a beautiful countryside, opened its doors to the public in 2013 after ten years of planning and two years of building activity. To bring together cars and art in a unique museum was a primary concern for the founders, Hermann Maier and Gabriele Unbehaun-Maier.
