The man who liberated S&M Leather into international glamor... The man Jesse Helms hates... The man whose epic movie-biography only Ken Russell could re-create...” Photographer Mapplethorpe: The Whitney, the NEA and censorship, Schwarzenegger, Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon, Paloma Picasso, Hockney, Warhol, Patti Smith, Scavullo, sex, drugs, rock ’n’ roll, S&M, flowers, black leather, fists, Allen Ginsberg, and, once-upon-a-time, me... The pre-AIDS past of the 1970s has become a strange country. We lived life differently a dozen years ago. The High Time was in full upswing. Liberation was in the air, and so were we, performing nightly our high-wire sex acts in a circus without nets. If we fell, we fell with splendor in the grass. That carnival, ended now, has no more memory than the remembrance we give it, and we give remembrance here. In 1977, Robert Mapplethorpe arrived unexpectedly in my life. I was editor of the San Francisco—based international leather magazine, Drummer, and Robert was a New York shock-and-fetish photographer on the way up. Drummer wanted good photos. Robert, already infamous for his leather S&M portraits, always seeking new models with outrageous trips, wanted more specific exposure within the leather community. Our mutual, professional want ignited almost instantly into mutual, personal passion.

  • Cardi Gallery Louise Nevelson
    CARDI GALLERY Louise Nevelson, Untitled, 1964, Painted wood, 241 x 216 x 49.5 cm (94 7/8 x 85 1/8 x 19 1/2 in) LOUISE NEVELSON 55-70 October 7-December 20, 2014 Corso di Porta Nuova 38, Milan Cardi Gallery is pleased to present Louise Nevelson: 55-70, an exhibition of over thirty important collages and sculptures created between 1955 and 1970 that reveal the formalist achievements of Louise Nevelson (1899-1988), an icon of the Feminist art movement and one of the most significant American sculptors of the 20th century. Louise Nevelson: 55-70, is on view October 9 – December 20, 2014. Louise Nevelson: 55-70 features works created between 1955 and 1970, a period when the artist’s signature modernist style emerged, with labyrinthine wooden assemblages and monochrome surfaces, and evolved, as Nevelson incorporated industrial materials such as Plexiglas, aluminum and steel in the 1960s and 1970s. The exhibition at Cardi Gallery presents more than twenty-five collages and ten sculptures from private collections around the world, including large-scale monochrome reliefs, freestanding large-scale sculptures, and mixed media collages on paper and board, incorporating newsprint, paint, vinyl, metal, and other found objects. “I go to the sculpture, and my eye tells me what is right for me,” explained Nevelson. “When I compose, I don’t have anything but the material, myself, and an assistant. I compose right there while the assistant hammers. Sometimes it’s the material that takes over; sometimes it’s me that takes over. I permit them to play, like a seesaw.

  • The Museum of Modern Art
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release May 1995 ARTIST'S CHOICE: ELIZABETH MURRAY June 20 - August 22, 1995 An exhibition conceived and installed by American artist Elizabeth Murray is the fifth in The Museum of Modern Art's series of ARTIST'S CHOICE exhibitions. On view from June 20 to August 22, 1995, ARTIST'S CHOICE: ELIZABETH MURRAY presents more than 100 drawings, paintings, prints, and sculptures by approximately seventy women artists. The exhibition involves works created between 1914 and 1973, including those ranging from early modernists Frida Kahlo and Liubov Popova to contemporary artists Nancy Graves and Dorothea Rockburne. Murray focuses particular attention on artists who made their reputations during the 1950s and 1960s, such as Lee Bontecou, Agnes Martin, Joan Mitchell, when Murray herself was studying and forming her style. This exhibition and the accompanying video and panel discussion are made possible by a generous grant from The Charles A. Dana Foundation. Organized in collaboration with Kirk Varnedoe, Chief Curator, Department of Painting and Sculpture, the ARTIST'S CHOICE series invites artists to create an exhibition from the Museum's collection according to a personally chosen theme or principle. "I wanted, for myself, to explore what being a woman in the art world has meant," Murray writes in the exhibition brochure. "I wanted to weave together a sense of the genuine and profound contribution women's work has made to the art of our time." - more - 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019-5498 Tel: 212-708-9400 Fax: 212-708-9889 2 Installed in the Museum's third-floor contemporary painting and sculpture galleries, the exhibition is arranged in thematic groupings.

Spanning four centuries and occupying 7,000 square feet on MAG’s first floor, the new installation brings together some of the finest works in the collection as it constitutes what chief curator Marjorie Searl calls “a journey in space and time.” The 114 works range from the Colonial era, exemplified by John Singleton Copley’s unfinished portrait (ca. 1762) of Boston silversmith Nathaniel Hurd, to politically charged mixed-media pieces by contemporary artists Jaune Quick-to- See Smith, Christian Boltanski and Binh Danh. In between are works by such masters as Thomas Cole, Winslow Homer, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Thomas Eakins, John Sloan, George Bellows, Helen Frankenthaler, Jackson Pollock, Jacob Lawrence and Dale Chihuly. (A com- plete checklist is attached.) Of particular interest, Georgia O’Keeffe’s Jawbone and Fungus (1937) is displayed for the first time in a plexiglas case that allows visitors to see the brightly colored, unfinished abstract painting on the reverse—a painting that dates to the 1920s and that the artist abandoned for reasons unknown. Three galleries are grouped chronologically—“Art of a Young Nation” (Colonial era–1900); “Controversy and Change” (1900–1950); and “Art and Ideas” (1950–the present).

  • Louise Nevelson & Pablo Atchugarry
    Louise Nevelson & Pablo Atchugarry: Dialogue in Black and White Essay by: Bruno Corà Atchugarry and Nevelson: longing for unitary tension December 01 2019 – March 30 2020 | Miami Opening reception: Sunday, December 01, 6–9 PM Open to public The Fundación Pablo Atchugarry presents Dialogue in Black and White, a dual exhibition of work by Post War artist Louise Nevelson andthe sculptor Pablo Atchugarry. The artists contrasting their sculptural works from the 20th century and share a discourse of form, free of color. Louise Nevelson was an American sculptor known for her monumental, monochromatic abstract sculptures. Born in what is now present-day Ukraine, Nevelson emigrated with her family to the United States in the early 20th century. Inspired by the abstracted figures of Cubism and the experimental freedom of Surrealism, Nevelson created her signature modernist style. Her monochromatic approach, attributed to her studies under Hans Hofmann, was a mode of “self- discipline.” Pablo Atchugarry is an Uruguayan artist known for his abstract sculptural art. Atchugarry spent part of his life in Europe, where he studied and experimented a range of materials before taking up the marble. This new era of using marble opened up Atchugarry’s career towards the monumental abstracts sculptures that he is known for today. Atchugarry engages in a shared fondness for a restrained color palette. This method, used by both Nevelson and Atchugarry, gives way to sculptures that are entirely focused on form – creating a heightened sensitivity to form in viewers, and in hand, increased awareness of how a viewer’s body relates to the sculptures and the space they inhabit.

Er wächst in bescheidenen Verhältnissen auf dem kleinen Bauerndorf nahe Lörrach auf. 1900 bis 1905 Seine Mutter stirbt im Jahre 1900.
