  • HARD FACTS and SOFT SPECULATION Thierry De Duve
    THE STORY OF FOUNTAIN: HARD FACTS AND SOFT SPECULATION Thierry de Duve ABSTRACT Thierry de Duve’s essay is anchored to the one and perhaps only hard fact that we possess regarding the story of Fountain: its photo in The Blind Man No. 2, triply captioned “Fountain by R. Mutt,” “Photograph by Alfred Stieglitz,” and “THE EXHIBIT REFUSED BY THE INDEPENDENTS,” and the editorial on the facing page, titled “The Richard Mutt Case.” He examines what kind of agency is involved in that triple “by,” and revisits Duchamp’s intentions and motivations when he created the fictitious R. Mutt, manipulated Stieglitz, and set a trap to the Independents. De Duve concludes with an invitation to art historians to abandon the “by” questions (attribution, etc.) and to focus on the “from” questions that arise when Fountain is not seen as a work of art so much as the bearer of the news that the art world has radically changed. KEYWORDS, Readymade, Fountain, Independents, Stieglitz, Sanitary pottery Then the smell of wet glue! Mentally I was not spelling art with a capital A. — Beatrice Wood1 No doubt, Marcel Duchamp’s best known and most controversial readymade is a men’s urinal tipped on its side, signed R. Mutt, dated 1917, and titled Fountain. The 2017 centennial of Fountain brought us a harvest of new books and articles on the famous or infamous urinal. I read most of them in the hope of gleaning enough newly verified facts to curtail my natural tendency to speculate. But newly verified facts are few and far between.

  • Sampling Real Life: Creative Appropriation in Public Spaces
    Sampling Real Life: Creative Appropriation in Public Spaces Elsa M. Lankford Electronic Media & Film (EMF) Towson University [email protected] I. Introduction Enter an art museum or a library and you will find numerous examples of appropriation, all or most of which were most likely legal at the time. From the birth of copyright and the idea that an author, encompassed as a writer, artist, composer, or musician, is the creator of a completely original work, our legal and moral perceptions of appropriation have changed. Merriam-Webster defines appropriation in multiple ways, two of which apply to the discussion of art and appropriation. The first, “to take exclusive possession of” and the second “to take or make use of without authority or right.”1 The battle over rights and appropriation is not one that is only fought in the courtroom and gallery, it also concerns our own lives. Many aspects of our lives involve appropriation, from pagan holidays appropriated into the Christian calendar to the music we listen to, even to the words we speak or write appropriated from other countries and cultures. As artists, appropriation in many forms makes its way into works of any media. The topic of appropriation leads to a discussion of where our creative ideas come from. They, in some sense, have been appropriated as well. Whether we overhear a snippet of a conversation that ends up woven into a creative work or we take a picture of somebody, unknowingly, as they walk down a tree-shadowed street, we are appropriating life. For centuries, artists have been inspired by public life, and the stories and images of others have been appropriated into their work.

  • The Persistence of Pollock
    THE PERSISTENCE OF POLLOCK 3 May – 28 July 2012 Bobbi Coller and Helen A. Harrison Co-Curators The Persistence of Pollock From our vantage point at the beginning of the twenty-first century, it’s hard to imagine the pictorial landscape before Pollock. There was, of course, Picasso, whose dazzling and protean presence Pollock admired and envied, but from whom he tried to differentiate himself. But when Pollock first started to exhibit his singular and revolutionary poured paintings, he caused an earthquake that shattered the syntax of visual language, destabilized fundamental expectations of how a painting should be made, and liberated future generations of artists. Something about Pollock transcends the confines of painting. His art and persona have inspired numerous creative responses in many forms: musical compositions, poems, novels, choreography, performance art, a superb film with Ed Harris, and a one-act play by his friend B.H. Friedman. His immediately identifiable poured-paint look has been easily adapted for everyday products, including textiles, wallpaper, and pottery. Pollock has become part of culture, a symbol, and a point of reference. After his death, Pollock’s widow, the artist Lee Krasner, tried to correct many inaccurate myths that grew up around him, but sometimes truth is less powerful than mythology. For artists, the idea of Pollock has become as open and multilayered as an abstract painting. This exhibition, “The Persistence of Pollock,” assembles thirteen works in a variety of media that reflect Pollock’s powerful impact and attest to his continuing relevance for contemporary artists. They represent each of the decades of the sixty years since Pollock’s death in 1956.

  • After Picasso: 80 Contemporary Artists
    Wexner Center for the Arts School Programs Resources AFTER PICASSO: 80 CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS Exhibition Overview This fall, the Wexner Center for the Arts will present After Picasso: 80 Contemporary Artists, an expansive show tracing Pablo Picasso’s potent legacy and persistent impact on a variety of international artists across multiple generations. On view September 19 through December 27, 2015, the exhibition will feature more than 150 works from such artists as Art & Language, Walead Beshty, Marlene Dumas, Richard Hamilton, Rachel Harrison, Jasper Johns, Martin Kippenberger, Maria Lassnig, Louise Lawler, Roy Lichtenstein, Arnulf Rainer with Dieter Roth, Thomas Scheibitz, Andy Warhol, and Heimo Zobernig, among dozens of others. Wexner Center Director Sherri Geldin says, “This ambitious exhibition is a perfect complement and bookend to our own 25th Anniversary Season, inaugurated last fall with Transfigurations: Modern Masters from the Wexner Family Collection. That show included 19 masterworks by Picasso spanning his entire career, with stellar examples of his boundless imagination and talent. The depth and diversity of works in After Picasso demonstrates just how seismic (and reverberating) a force the modern master remains.” The exhibition, originally titled Picasso in Contemporary Art, was organized by the Deichtorhallen, a highly respected contemporary art institution in Hamburg on the occasion of its 25th anniversary and was curated by its general director, Dirk Luckow. Select American artists have been added to the Wexner Center presentation of the German- born exhibition. “Picasso’s art is so influential, because his work and his person cannot be divided from one another and this makes his work exemplary,” says Luckow.

    François Girard-Meunier Can forgery be Appropriation Art and vice-versa? ART AND VICE-VERSA? Introduction Within the field of arts, appropriation is nothing new. Copying was accepted and seen as a necessary step before achieving mastery of certain techniques. The usual motto was learning through emulation. Even Vermeer did it.1 Saint Praxedis (1655) Johannes Vermeer Copy after Felice Ficherelli Making copies was also seen as a way to give tribute to particular artists the copyist feels connected with or relates to.2 But copying here never was a leitmotiv or the essence of an artist’s practice. 1 One of Vermeer’s first signed painting (and disputed as well), Saint Praxedis (1655) is indeed a copy of Felice Ficherelli’s Saint Praxedis (1640-1645). The difference in the painting being the cross Saint Praxedis is holding in Vermeer’s version. 2 As an example, Vincent Van Gogh is known to have made as much as thirty copies of artworks from his favourite artists during the 1887-1890 period. In the count are copies of Eugène Delacroix, Jean-François Millet (Van Gogh felt affinities with Millet’s peasant themes) and Rembrandt. 5 CAN FORGERY BE APPROPRIATION First displays of appropriation as an artistic endeavour appeared in the twenties, with Marcel Duchamp as one of its precursors. In the sixties, more radical stances of appropriation would come to the surface, with artists blatantly copying artworks previously iconized as a statement, without any desire for visual originality. They are now accepted and included as milestones of contemporary art history; their previously disruptive gestures and methods now legitimate.

    IS POST MODERNISM FAILING? Submitted by Keith Foskin AR 592 - ART HISTORY SEMINAR In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Masters of Fine Art Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring 1988 The decade is half over, but already one begins to feel the peculiar sensation of looking back on the art of the '80s. How, in America, have its fre- quent miseries balanced out against its episodic splendors? The end of a century - and even more, the end of a millennium - brings anxiety with it: the unavoidable doubts and mannerisms of the fin de siecle, when every kind of stylistic bubble rises to the cultural surface, swells and bursts with a soft plop and a whiff, while marsh lights flicker and the cultural promoters croak their Aristophanic chorus. The SoHo Tar Pits: heaven for the market, purgatory (or limbo, anyway) for judgment .1 It is 1988, Robert Hughes is still with us, and so are the SoHo Tar Pits. His poetic condemnation of Post- Modernism hovers above the streets of New York: SoHo, the lower "East Side," and Times Square, like a squadron of vul- tures waiting for an antelope to die. Life in America has not changed a lot since 1985; Reagan is still the President and Wheel of Fortune is still a popular game show. In the "world" of art, the same band of artists domi- nate the Post-Modern "scene": David Salle, Robert Longo, Sherrie Levine, Mike Bidlo, Cindy Sherman, Keith Haring, and Kenny Scharf (just to name a few).
