About Brice Marden Brice Marden received an MFA from the Yale School of Art and Architecture in 1963. It was at Yale, under instruction from artists including Alex Katz and Jon Schueler and working alongside students Richard Serra and Chuck Close, that Marden arrived at the rectangular format and muted, extremely individualized palette that characterize his early monochromatic panels. Over the course of his career Marden’s work has developed to reveal the range of influences he has absorbed during his travels throughout the world. The light and landscape of the Greek island of Hydra and the art, landscape, and culture of Asia are manifested in the heightened colors and calligraphic gestures of his more recent work, which, expanding beyond the strictures of Minimalism, reincorporates landscape and the figure into abstract painting while reconnecting it with Abstract Expressionism and non-Western traditions. The Museum of Modern Art, New York, presented a retrospective exhibition of Marden’s work in 2006, and he has been the subject of one-person exhibitions at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Documenta IX, Kassel; and the Serpentine Gallery and Tate Gallery, London. Marden (born 1938) lives and works in New York.

Courtesy Paul Ramirez Jonas. Although celebrated for the revolutionary role he played in the development of both Conceptualism and Minimalism, Sol LeWitt was also renowned for his exchanges of artwork with various artists throughout his lifetime. For LeWitt, the act of exchange seemed to be not only a personal gesture, but also an integral part of his conceptual practice. In addition to encouraging the circulation of artworks through a gift economy that challenged the art world’s dominant economic model, LeWitt’s exchanges with friends and strangers have the same qualities of generosity and risk that characterized his work in general. In the spirit of continuing the artist’s lifelong philosophy of open exchange, and in conjunction with the “LeWitt Wall Drawing Retrospective” on view at MASS MoCA through 2033, MASS MoCA and Cabinet present “An Exchange with Sol LeWitt”—a curatorial project initiated by independent curator Regine 300 Nevins Street Brooklyn New York 11217 Tel: +1 718 222 8434 Fax: +1 718 222 3700 www.cabinetmagazine.org Basha.

Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a recorded interview with Robert Mangold, conducted by Christopher Lyon for the Archives of American Art, at the artist's studio in Washingtonville, New York on November 16, 2017. This transcript has been reviewed and edited by Robert Mangold and Christopher Lyon. Their corrections and emendations appear below in brackets with initials. The transcript has been lightly edited for readability by the Archives of American Art. The reader should bear in mind that they are reading a transcript of spoken, rather than written, prose. Interview CHRISTOPHER LYON: This is Christopher Lyon. I am with Robert Mangold in his studio in Washingtonville, New York. It's November 16, 2017. Good morning, and thank you for doing this. ROBERT MANGOLD: Well, good morning to you. CHRISTOPHER LYON: So, just to reiterate, I would like to keep the ball in your court as much as possible. What I find fascinating and hope we can talk about from various angles is your investigation, your exploration, whatever the best word would be, of how paintings communicate, in terms of all their parameters: color, scale, line, and so on. You've looked at a whole range of perceptual issues in relation to your work, but at the same time, you explored at great depth the many ways that the physical manifestation of a painting can be expressive.
  • Order Reconstruction by Ping Jie

    Order Reconstruction by Ping Jie

    Order Reconstruction By Ping Jie Innovators of ink often have two orientations of value: look inward and look outward. People who look inward pay attention to traditional subversion and innovation, while people who look outward pay attention to the connection and achievements within the history of contemporary art. Inward looking artists disregard Western art, and their works exhibit an oriental aesthetic mood that the literati is fond of. Outward looking artists, on the other hand, try to seek consensus and resonance from an international art stage while their works present both the purity of artistic body and the mystery of Oriental charm. Although the two are not completely disconnected, an ink artist's value orientation has a consequential impact on his artistic direction. Whether it is looking in or looking out, innovation of art always encompasses a lineage of heritage and reconstruction. The former triggers a leap of the Chinese art history, whereas the latter integrates with contemporary art history. Most importantly, the artists are always sticklers of their own ideas and never become ‘the others' (losing themselves). We can see traces of appropriation and reference in the works of contemporary art masters, but they are not indeed ‘captured' by those elements they looked into. In mid-1980s, New York minimalist master Brice Marden's style suddenly turned in favor of abstract expression. He created the piece<Han Shan Research 1-35> (1988-1990) based on his study of the Chinese Tang Dynasty poet monk Hanshan's work. In this piece Brice Marden uses calligraphic strokes at liberty in regard of the cursive script.

New York – This March, Christie’s will present the Collection of Earl and Camilla McGrath. Married for 44- years, Earl was the former head of Rolling Stone Records and a bicoastal gallerist, and Camilla was an Italian countess and an exceptional photographer. The McGraths were a social power couple who counted many of the leading artists and intellectuals amongst their friends, and their collection reflects a remarkable life spent alongside the greatest creative forces of the 20th century. Comprising over 135 examples of Post-War and Contemporary art, the collection will be offered in both a dedicated eponymous auction on March 3, and within the various owner Prints and Multiples sale on March 1. Highlights from the exhibition will be on view in Los Angeles February 9–11 at the De Re Gallery. “Earl is the Gertrude Stein of our era,” artist Ron Cooper once noted. “He had a salon like Stein. I met Andy Warhol through him and Jack Nicholson and Dennis Hopper and Michelle Phillips and Michael Crichton and Joan [Didion] and John [Dunne] and… just an amazing roster of people.” The couple’s residences in New York and Los Angeles were gathering places for the world’s most influential social figures, including artists such as Andy Warhol, Cy Twombly, Larry Rivers, Brice Marden, Bruce Nauman and Robert Graham.

    The FLAG Art Foundation Pre sents New Exhibition: “Attention to Detail” The FLAG Art Foundation is pleased to announce its inaugural ex hibition, "Attention to Detail." Curated by renowned contemporary artist Chuck Close, the show includes work from a wide range of both established and emerging artists: Louise Bourgeois Brice Marden Delia Brown Tony Matelli Glenn Brown Ron Mueck Maurizio Cattelan Richard Patterson Vija Celmins Richard Pettibone Jennifer Dalton Elizabeth Peyton Thomas Demand Richard Phillips Tara Donovan Marc Quinn Olafur Eliasson Alessandro Raho Dan Fischer Gerhard Richter Tom Friedman Aaron Romine Ellen Gallagher Ed Ruscha Tim Gardner Cindy Sherman Franz Gertsch James Siena Ewan Gibbs Ken Solomon Robert Gober Thomas Struth Andreas Gursky Tomoaki Suzuki Damien Hirst Yuken Teruya Jim Hodges Fred Tomaselli Naoto Kawahara Jim Torok Ellsworth Kelly Mark Wagner Cary Kwok Rachel Whiteread Robert Lazzarini Fred Wilson Graham Little Steve Wolfe Christian Marclay Lisa Yuskavage Whether it is through conceptual or technical precision, the deceptively lifelik e nature of a hand-crafted image, a playful interpretation or distortion of a familiar object or the detailed appropriation of another artist's work, an acute focus on the minute connects these works and these artists’ approaches. These artists demonstrate a labor-intensive and exacting artistic passion in their respective processes. As Chuck Close fittingly reflects with respect to his own work, "I am going for a level of perfection that is only mine...Most of the pleas ure is in getting the last little piece perfect."

Credits: Produced and directed by Marion Cajori. Directors of photography: Mead Hunt, Ken Kobland, David Leitner. Edited by Cajori, Kobland. Music by Philip Glass, performed b Bruce Levingston. An Art Kaleidoscope Foundation production. Through the famous portrait artist’s subjects, filmmaker Marion Cajori crafts a clever biographical documentary of Chuck Close. Marion Cajori died before completing Chuck Close, her documentary portrait of an artist known for his unique portraits and self-portraits. In what could only have been a conscious nod to her subject, Cajori’s cinematic construct cleverly imitates Close’s signature hieroglyphic boxes, which he paints and superimposes upon a photograph. Abstract artist Brice Marden says in the documentary that with Close’s portraits “you add up all the details and you get the soul,” and the same can be said for Cajori’s film—through a series of vignettes, interviews with Close’s friends and family, the filmmaker reveals the soul of the portraitist. Cajori pursues Close and his work in the same way that someone might approach one of his portraits, which are large canvases of his subject’s heads. She leans in to show Close bringing the brush to the paint, and Close painting an uneven line or a protozoa-like shape on the canvas. Then she steps back to show completed portraits, and the actual faces of Close’s subjects, and sometimes a long shot in the studio where Close, in a wheelchair, is the focal point of the shot.
