Christie's Summer 2021 Residency in Aspen MEDIA ALERT | N E W Y O R K – A S P E N | 16 JULY 2021 CHRISTIE’S SUMMER 2021 RESIDENCY IN ASPEN Selling Exhibition On View in Aspen | 17-28 July 2021 Ed Ruscha (b. 1937) Richard Prince (b. 1949) TULSA SLUT Untitled (Cowboy) acrylic on canvas Ektacolor print 24 x 36 in. (61 x 91.4 cm.) 24 x 20 in. (61 x 50.9 cm.) Painted in 2019. Executed in 1988. NEW YORK / ASPEN – Christie’s announces the second selling exhibition for its Summer 2021 Aspen residency, OUT WEST (July 17-28). Christie’s latest private selling exhibition, OUT WEST, encapsulates the progression of various narratives and visions of the American West as reflected in 20th and 21st Century artwork. Works by major artists across various disciplines are represented in the exhibition, from Thomas Hart Benton, to Richard Misrach, and Wayne Thiebaud, all uniquely inspired by the American West. Paying homage to Aspen and the surrounding region, OUT WEST features works by artists who worked in, were inspired by, and depicted the American West. From Ed Ruscha mountain paintings to Richard Prince’s cowboys, OUT WEST brings together a group of artists connected by their love of western imagery and landscape. The private selling exhibition will take place this summer in a pop-up gallery space nestled at the base of Aspen Mountain from 17-28 July, 2021. Emily Kaplan, Senior Specialist, Post-War & Contemporary Art, comments: “The ‘Wild West’ is both a symptom and symbol of mankind’s unparalleled advancement and fascination with exploration in the 20th Century. This radical shift away from traditionally structured society towards a preference for freedom and self-reliance was also mirrored in the art-making shifts that occurred in the 20th and 21st Century. OUT WEST showcases the curiosity, imagination, and wonder of the new frontier explored by major modern and contemporary artists of the 20th Century.” One of the earliest works in the exhibition is John Rogers Cox’s golden Wheat Fields oil from 1943, demonstrating the artist’s uniquely magical depictions of landscapes. “A wheat field has a whispering sound and an awe-inspiring quality like drifting music and, like an ocean, it gives you a lonely feeling,” said the artist. The uncanny and surreal are also manifested in a highlight of the exhibition, Mark Tansey’s (First) Study for Forward Retreat from 1986. The painting has remained in the same collection for over 20 years and is the first study for a canvas that presently resides in the collection of The Broad, Los Angeles. Depicted in the work are three inverted horseback riders seated backwards, peering through binoculars behind them. With this work, Tansey has embodied a meditation on the progression of history and art-making as creative destruction of the past. Kat Widing, Specialist, Post-War & Contemporary Art, remarks: “The nostalgia of the ‘Wild West’ lies in the excitement of being at the edge of discovery. Groundbreaking ways of expression have all blossomed from risk-taking and experimentation amid the unknown. OUT WEST is a celebration of the possibilities that propel history and art history forward. It is a special moment for Christie’s to host this exhibition within the very landscape that inspired these artists.” Out West will be open to the public from July 17-28 with hours of 11am - 5pm from Monday to Saturday.

  • Robert Grosvenor | Richard Prince
    Robert Grosvenor | Richard Prince 57 rue du Temple, 75004 Paris 14 April – 19 May 2018 Opening: 14 April 2018, 6 – 8 pm Galerie Max Hetzler is pleased to announce the exhibition Robert Grosvenor | Richard Prince, featuring a single work by each artist. The exhibition develops a dialogue between two artists who know each other and have great respect for the work of one another. Robert Grosvenor is known for his spacious sculptures which capture the viewer through their specifc materiality and unconventional formal language. He himself considers his sculptural work as “ideas that operate between foor and ceiling” and thus reveals an essential aspect of his practice: The Robert Grosvenor, Untitled, 2015-2017 preoccupation with the relation between an object and its surrounding as well as the efect that emerges from this connection. In the 1960s, his work was perceived in the context of Minimal Art and later Land Art. Yet, although his works display a certain minimalistic aesthetic, Grosvenor never adopted the movement’s programmatic claims. His works are rather characterised by a playful dealing with the properties of materials and the complexity of disposals while never ascribing to a particular artistic style. Often his sculptures seem to overcome the principles of physics, especially gravity. They appear massive and yet foating, both static and dynamic. His work Untitled, 2015-2017, evokes a boat, not only though its shape but also through the use of plywood and fberglass. Untitled, 2009/2010, is a monumental example of Richard Prince’s Check Paintings – a series initiated in the early 2000s. Composed of three panels, the work challenges the viewer with an eclectic visual language in which black delineated letters and colourful images collide amongst drips and swift brushstrokes of white, pale greens, blues and ochre.

  • (Mis)Appropriation Art: Transformation and Attribution in the Fair Use Doctrine 15 CHI.-KENT J
    (Mis)appropriation Art: Transformation and Attribution in the Fair Use Doctrine 15 CHI.-KENT J. INTELL. PROP. (forthcoming 2015) John Carl Zwisler∗ Abstract Since the adoption of transformation by the Supreme Court, the fair use doctrine has continued to judicially expand. The reliance on transformation has led judges to subjectively critique and analyze artworks in order to make a legal decision. While the transformation precedent is dominant among the circuits, it is not followed by all and gives an advantage to an appropriation artist claiming fair use of another’s copyrighted work. Transformation should no longer be a requirement in a fair use analysis concerning appropriation art, as it requires subjective interpretation of an artist’s work. Instead, the emphasis should be on the overall market effect the secondary use had on the market for the original with consideration given to how attribution to the original author aids in the fair use test. ∗ B.M., 2010 Berklee College of Music; J.D. candidate, 2016, Northeastern University School of Law.

  • RICHARD PRINCE ALL AMERICAN IDOL to Be Offered in the POST-WAR & CONTEMPORARY ART - EVENING AUCTION Christie’S London, 8 King Street 14 October 2011
    For Immediate Release 26 September 2011 Contact: Cristiano De Lorenzo tel. +44 7500 815 344 [email protected] RICHARD PRINCE ALL AMERICAN IDOL To Be Offered In The POST-WAR & CONTEMPORARY ART - EVENING AUCTION Christie’s London, 8 King Street 14 October 2011 London - Four outstanding works by Richard Prince (B. 1949) will be offered at Christie's London on 14 October, forming highlights of the Post-War & Contemporary Art evening auction. Spanning the course of the artist’s rich career they include Untitled (Fashion) (1983-1984), Untitled (Cowboy) (1999), Nurse Forrester’s Secret (2002-2003) and Untitled (de Kooning) (2007). Dina Amin, Head of the Sale; Director of Post War and Contemporary Art, Christie's London: ‚In October we are delighted to unite two masterpieces from the course of Richard Prince’s rich career including the iconic photograph, Untitled (Cowboy) (1999) and the painterly Nurse Forrester’s Secret (2002-2003.) Richard Prince is a master of Appropriation art. One of the first of a group of artists emerging in the 1970s including Cindy Sherman and Louise Lawler, who came to be known as the ‘pictures generation’, he has transformed some of the most enduring and iconic popular images in America. Fundamentally challenging notions of authorship, ownership and aura, he has radically reinvented the work of art, creating his own unique signature.‛ A key highlight of the Prince section is the large scale, dramatically executed Untitled (Cowboy), presenting a denim-clad lonesome American ranger (illustrated above right.) Created in 1999, this is a magnificent example of Richard Prince’s most celebrated series, exploring the American idol ‘par excellence’: the cowboy.

    Art World (https://news.artnet.com/art-world) Gagosian and Deitch Team Up to Explore Pop and Minimalism— and Surprise, Surprise, It’s Still a Bunch of White Guys "Pop Minimalism Minimalist Pop" at the Moore Building is a disappointment. Sarah Cascone (https://news.artnet.com/about/sarah-cascone-25), December 6, 2018 "Pop Minimalism Minimalist Pop" at the Moore Building (2018), installation view. Photo ©artists and estates, by Emily Hodes, courtesy of Gagosian. It has become an annual tradition for super-dealers Larry Gagosian and Jeffrey Deitch to join forces during Art Basel Miami Beach, hosting an exhibition in the Design District’s Moore Building. This year, the duo’s effort is “Pop Minimalism Minimalist Pop (https://gagosian.com/news/2018/11/15/pop-minimalism-exhibition-deitch-moore-building-miami/),” a reexamination of those two powerful American art currents that could have been timely, given that re-explorations of forgotten sides of the 1960s and ’70s have become a museum and market (https://news.artnet.com/market/abmb-market-report-rediscoveries-1173188) phenomenon of late. Yet it became almost immediately apparent upon walking into the Moore Building that this year’s show was not some kind of radical rethinking of history. It is just the contrary, as evidenced by the fact that this show is dominated by the expected club of canonical men, almost all of them white: Damien Hirst (http://www.artnet.com/artists/damien-hirst/), Donald Judd (http://www.artnet.com/artists/donald-judd/), Jeff Koons (http://www.artnet.com/artists/jeff-koons/), Roy Lichtenstein (http://www.artnet.com/artists/roy-lichtenstein/), Andy Warhol (http://www.artnet.com/artists/andy-warhol/), and Richard Prince (http://www.artnet.com/artists/richard-prince/), to name just a few.

  • Artist Statement Rulton Fyder
    ARTIST STATEMENT RULTON FYDER “When there’s informational discrepancy between the two worlds, there is time for phenomenal art to happen that will capture the time and emotion of the present.” The anonymous artist Rulton Fyder is best known for his recontextualisation of other artists’ works to capture time and emotion in the NFT art realm. Fyder utilizes the sense of familiarity elicited from known significant works in the contemporary art world to add new conceptual layer and imagery and create the works in the NFT realm to create completely new works that document and archive our current society and times while having the artist’s self-inquisitive journey in the rapidly advancing digital age, characterized by the endless circulation, reshuffling, remixing and exchange of ideas. Through Fyder’s artistic exploration, he has engaged in dialogues with works from his contemporaries and past phenomenal artists who have left marks in the history of conceptual art – Barbara Kruger, John Baldessari, Richard Prince, Christopher Wool, and others. Fyder creates works that incorporated found artworks and images from the past key historical events; structuring works around spontaneous relationships between elements and through the work leave ample hints for the viewers to decipher the artist’s intentions. By applying his profound understanding of the complexity and intricacy in the history of conceptual art, Fyder’s works are of a distinctive artistic lens filled with echoes of other masters’ lens yet through the sharp and acute commentary on the present societal and technological phenomenon, that is undeniably his own. – Rulton Fyder, 2021 RULTON FYDER ARTIST STATEMENT .

    Cindy Sherman (American, b. 1954) – Artist Resources Sherman at Gagosian Gallery Sherman at Metro Pictures Gallery, New York Sherman at the Walker Art Center In 1998, MoMA celebrated their acquisition of Sherman’s seminal Untitled Film Stills, her first exhibited series, begun in 1977, in which she posed for her own camera in the guise of female archetypes inspired by movies from the 1940s-60s. Interview Magazine plays 20 Questions with Sherman in 2008, creating a conversation between the photographer and 20 of her creative contemporaries. Sherman talks with Art21 in a 2009 video interview about her love of costume and character, and the controversy of ambiguity throughout her portraits. New York Times profile of Sherman in honor of her self-titled 2012 retrospective at MoMA. “None of the characters are me,” she explains, “They’re everything but me. If it seems too close to me, it’s rejected.” The San Francisco Chronicle interviewed Sherman in conjunction with her MoMA Sherman, 2012 retrospective. Photograph: Sherman/New York Times The Walker Art Center celebrated Sherman in the eponymous 2013 retrospective featuring over 160 photographs from key series tracing her prolific career from the 1970s. “I am not trying to obliterate myself and completely hide within the images like I used to. I am a little more comfortable now in letting parts of myself show through,” Sherman tells The Gaurdian in a 2016 interview about her childhood, love of costume, and aging as a female contemporary artist. The Gentlewoman reminisced with Sherman in 2019 about her career trajectory and role as both subject and photographer as she Sherman, 2019 ages.

    WSJ. Magazine December 2, 2014 GAGOSIAN GALLERY Artist Richard Prince’s Secret Retreat Two-hundred miles from New York City, artist Richard Prince has been building towering sculptures on acres of rural land. Now he’s getting ready to open to the public Kelly Crow RAW MATERIALS | Prince clad a former hunting cabin in records he bought on eBay. Photography by Mario Sorrenti for WSJ. Magazine THE MASTER OF appropriation art is quietly making his own Marfa. Nearly two decades ago, the 65-year-old artist Richard Prince —who is well-known for photographing advertisements, biker magazines and book covers to create his own wry pieces— moved into a farmhouse. It sits at the end of a winding, woodsy lane in the Catskill Mountains, 200 miles north of New York City. He told friends that he wanted to live and work there because it was so remote no one would visit him. But like Donald Judd, who famously housed his minimalist art in storefronts around rural Marfa, Texas, Prince has been reconfiguring his own surroundings in playful ways—and now he’s more willing to receive company. Since 1996, Prince has steadily amassed nearly 300 acres around his home and studio in Rensselaerville, New York, some portion of which he will use to build a space for his Ryder Road Foundation. He’ll hammer out details over the next five years, he says, but the plan for the foundation is to show emerging artists he admires, such as painter Genieve Figgis. It will also give the public a rare firsthand look at his other projects nearby.
