AiA Art News-service Daughter sues her father over Jean-Michel Basquiat painting Belinda Neumann-Donnelly claims the work could have made an extra $15m if Hubert Neumann had not tried to block its sale GABRIELLA ANGELETI 8th June 2018 21:15 GMT Jean-Michel Basquiat's Flesh and Spirit (1982-83) was offered at Sotheby's New York on 16 May with an estimate in the region of $30m2018 Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York, NY. Courtesy of Sotheby's A fierce family war has blow up over the sale of Jean-Michel Basquiat’s Flesh and Spirit (1982-83), a large scale oil painting on wood that sold for $30.7m at Sotheby's last month. This week, the work's consigner, Belinda Neumann-Donnelly, sued her father, Hubert Neumann, for attempting to halt the auction, which Neumann-Donnelly argues depreciated the work’s final sale price. In her suit filed on Thursday (7 June) in New York Supreme Court, Neumann-Donnelly says that the work could have fetched as much as $45m had her father not muddied the sale at Sotheby's. The following evening, Phillips New York sold a comparable work by Jean-Michel Basquiat, called Flexible (1984), for $45.3m. Neumann-Donnelly is asking for $100m in her lawsuit. Hubert Neumann says that the entire dispute “stems from the fact Belinda went behind my back to sell very valuable [Basquiat work] that was owned by my deceased wife”, and that he initially heard about the sale through Bloomberg News. Neumann-Donnelly’s mother, Dolores Neumann, who died in September 2016, bought the painting directly from the artist in 1983 and, according to the complaint, left her estate to Neumann- Donnelly after writing Neumann out of her will. The art lawsuit is just one part of a complicated legal battle between the family. Neumann-Donnelly and her husband, plus their two children, reside in the same five-storey brownstone on the Upper West Side as Hubert Neumann. They filed a temporary restraining order against Neumann on 29 May when Hubert, following a heated confrontation, attempted to evict his daughter and her family without reason, according to court papers. .

$45.3 M. Basquiat Leads Robust $131.6 M. Phillips Sale of 20Th-Century and Contemporary Art
AUCTIONS MARKET NEWS $45.3 M. Basquiat Leads Robust $131.6 M. Phillips Sale of 20th-Century and Contemporary Art BY Annie Armstrong POSTED 05/17/18 8:16 PM 7 24 1 47 Tonight at its sales room in Midtown New York, Phillips totaled $131.6 million at its sale of 20th-century and contemporary art, a jump of roughly 15 percent over the $113.9 million it brought at the same auction last May. Just three of the 36 lots that went up on the block failed to sell, for an impressive sell-through rate of about 92 percent, though three lots were withdrawn before the start of the action: a Sigmar Polke, a David Hammons, and a Zeng Fanzhi. (About a third of the lots—13 out of of the 36—carried guarantees either by the house or a third party.) The top lot of the evening was Jean-Michel Basquiat’s Flexible (1984), which he painted on a section of picket fence he found outside his New York studio, and posed next to in a number of photographs. The piece was estimated at $20 million to $30 million, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Flexible, 1984, sold for $45.3 million. which it handily surpassed in steady bidding, selling to a phone COURTESY PHILLIPS bidder for $40 million—$45.3 million, with premium—to applause from the room. The Basquiat, which was sold by the artist’s estate, accounted for about 34 percent of the evening’s haul, and was followed in a distant second by Robert Motherwell’s At Five in the Afternoon (1971), from his “Spanish Elegies” series, which made an $11 million hammer, or $12.7 million with premium.

Yau, John. “So Much Achieved by One Artist in So Little Time.” Hyperallergic
Yau, John. “So Much Achieved by One Artist in So Little Time.” Hyperallergic. March 26, 2020. Ilse D'Hollander, "Untitled" (1990/1991), mixed media on cardboard. Artwork: 27 15/16 x 39 3/8 inches; framed: 34 1/2 x 46 1/4 x 2 inches (© The Estate of Ilse D'Hollander, courtesy Sean Kelly, New York) The Belgian artist Ilse D’Hollander (1968–1997) spent less than 30 years living in this world. By the time she graduated from the Hoger Instituut voor Beeldende Kunsten, St. Lucas, Ghent, in 1991, it was clear that she was “a consummate draughtswoman,” as Eric Rinckhout states in a catalogue essay devoted to her “early and unknown work.” According to Rinckhout, “In 1980, D’Hollander decided to devote herself exclusively to painting.” While he goes on to point out that painting “was a deeply unfashionable discipline at the time,” I am much more taken by the fact that D’Hollander was apparently summoned by the slow medium of painting before she became a teenager, and that for the rest of her short life she never wavered in her commitment. The directness of drawing, and of drawing in paint, was D’Hollander’s ideal. She explained, “A painting comes into being when ideas and the act of painting coincide.” In this statement, one can see what she shares with the Belgian abstract artist Raoul De Keyser and the American Abstract Expressionists, particularly Willem de Kooning and others committed to drawing in paint. Installation view of Ilse D’Hollander: Tension Field at Sean Kelly, New York, March 12 – April 24, 2021 (Photography: JSP Art Photography, New York, courtesy Sean Kelly, New York) At the same time, D’Hollander wanted to be as direct as artists of previous generations working in Minimalism and Color Field painting without following in any of their footsteps.

Jean-Michel Basquiat
"Believe it or not, I can actually draw." SYNOPSIS Jean-Michel Basquiat emerged from the "Punk" scene in New York as a gritty, street-smart graffiti artist who successfully crossed over from his "downtown" origins to the international art gallery circuit. In a few fast-paced years, Basquiat swiftly rose to become one of the most celebrated, and possibly most commercially exploited American "naif" painters of the widely celebrated Neo-Expressionism art movement. KEY IDEAS Basquiat's work is one of the few examples of how an early 1980s American Punk, or graffiti-based and counter-cultural practice could become a fully recognized, critically embraced and popularly celebrated artistic phenomenon, indeed not unlike the rise of American Hip Hop during the same era. Despite his work's "unstudied" appearance, Basquiat very © The Art Story Foundation – All rights Reserved For more movements, artists and ideas on Modern Art visit www.TheArtStory.org skillfully and purposefully brought together in his art a host of disparate traditions, practices, and styles to create a unique kind of visual collage, one deriving, in part, from his urban origins, and in another a more distant, African-Caribbean heritage. For some critics, Basquiat's swift rise to fame and equally swift and tragic death by drug overdose epitomizes and personifies the overly commercial, hyped up international art scene of the mid 1980s, a cultural phenomenon that for many observers was symptomatic of the largely artificial bubble economy of the era. Basquiat's work is an example of how American artists of the 1980s could reintroduce the human figure in their work after the wide success of Minimalism and Conceptualism, thus establishing a dialogue with the more distant tradition of 1950s Abstract Expressionism.

RESEARCH DEGREES WITH PLYMOUTH UNIVERSITY Gold Griot: Jean-Michel Basquiat Telling (His) Story in Art by Lucinda Ross A thesis submitted to Plymouth University In partial fulfilment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Humanities and Performing Arts Doctoral Training Centre May 2017 Gold Griot: Jean-Michel Basquiat Telling (His) Story in Art Lucinda Ross Basquiat, Gold Griot, 1984 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that no quotation from the thesis and no information derived from it may be published without the author’s prior consent. Gold Griot: Jean-Michel Basquiat Telling (His) Story in Art Lucinda Ross Abstract Emerging from an early association with street art during the 1980s, the artist Jean-Michel Basquiat was largely regarded within the New York avant-garde, as ‘an exotic other,’ a token Black artist in the world of American modern art; a perception which forced him to examine and seek to define his sense of identity within art and within society. Drawing upon what he described as his ‘cultural memory,’ Basquiat deftly mixed together fragments of past and present, creating a unique style of painting, based upon his own experiences of contemporary American life blended with a remembering of an African past. This study will examine the work of Basquiat during the period 1978 – 1988, tracing his progression from obscure graffiti writer SAMO© to successful gallery artist. Situating my study of Basquiat’s oeuvre in relationship to Paul Gilroy’s concept of the Black Atlantic, I will analyse Basquiat’s exploration of his cultural heritage and depiction of a narrative of Black history, which confronts issues of racism and social inequality, and challenges the constraints of traditional binary oppositions.

About Artprice About Amma
Nota Bene : The Art Market analysis presented in this report is based on results of Fine Art auctions that occured between 1st January and 31st December 2018, listed by Artprice and Artron. For the purposes of this report, Fine Art means paintings, sculptures, draw- ings, photographs, prints, videos, installations, tapestries, but excludes antiques, anonymous cultural goods and furniture. All the prices in this report indicate auction results – including buyer’s premium. The $ sign refers to the US dollar and the ¥ sign refers to the Chinese yuan. The exchange rate used to convert AMMA sales results in China is an average annual rate. Any reference to “Western Art” or “the West” refers to the global art market, minus China. Chinese Art is divided into two main categories: • “Chinese Painting and Calligraphy” indicates traditional Chinese art such as works in ink on a variety of substrates including Xuan paper, silk and fans. “Chinese calligraphy” is focused on lettering, words, poems and wishes, whereas “Chinese painting” represents landscapes, people, birds and flowers. • “Oil painting and Contemporary art” indicates artworks created by Chinese artists who appropriated Western tech- niques and artistic media (oil painting, photography, sculpture, installation, drawing in pencil, gouache, watercolors, etc.) after an oil on canvas was presented in China for the first time in 1579. Regarding the Western Art market, the following historical segmentation of “creative period” has been used: • “Old Masters” refers to works by artists born before 1760 • “19th century” refers to works by artists born between 1760 and 1860 • “Modern art” refers to works by artists born between 1860 and 1920 • “Post-War art” refers to works by artists born between 1920 and 1945 • “Contemporary art” refers to works by artists born after 1945 In an increasingly undifferentiated world, art EDITORIAL BY (whatever its final price) stands out for its intrin- sic heterogeneity.
