He’s the man who treated Campbell’s cans and Brillo boxes as art, who partied hard at Max’s Kansas City and Studio 54. But there was also, always, a more serious side to the artist, and it helps confirm his greatness. In the 1980s, Warhol the party animal painted guns and crosses and skulls, and also himself as a death’s-head. In the 1960s, in the moment that came between his cans and his Andy Warhol, Little Electric Chair, 1964-1965 Collection of The Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh boxes, he made a major series of works that came to be © The Andy Warhol Foundation for The Visual Arts, Inc. called the Death and Disaster paintings. One shows an electric chair, last deployed in the state of New York the same year Warhol portrayed it. Another depicts a bunch of white cops siccing dogs on black civil rights marchers. Two ambulances crash in a third. Suicides and food poisonings flesh out the series. The curator Henry Geldzahler was a friend and fan of Warhol’s, and he liked to take credit for the artist’s turn from Pop light to the shadows: “It’s enough life. It’s time for a little death,” he told Warhol once his soup cans were done. But in fact Warhol had always engaged with turmoil in the world around him. Already in 1948, as a college student in Pittsburgh, he’d signed a petition pitching the presidency of Henry Wallace, a left-leaning New Dealer who was that moment’s Bernie Sanders. The petition got him and his fellow signers branded as Commies by the local press. Warhol moved to New York the next year, and the images he made there often had an equally serious side. Almost at once, he was chosen as the perfect artist to help sell a documentary about the drug trade. His award-winning ad was a chilling image of an addict with a needle up his arm. For the rest of the decade, when he made the drawings that he counted as his “art,” they were often based on the most sober photojournalism. And even when his art went more flippant and fey—which was a lot of the time—there was a serious undercurrent: By camping it up, he was expressing, even celebrating, a queer identity that was despised at the time. So the Death and Disaster paintings don’t come out of nowhere. They also don’t lead to nothing. Warhol stayed politically engaged, in his own quiet way, for the rest of his life. In the 1972 presidential election, he won the hatred of Richard Nixon by depicting him as a kind of Wicked Witch of the West, in a poster supporting Nixon’s lefty rival George McGovern. The vast trove of papers that Warhol stored up for the rest of his life—something like 500,000 pages of documents—overflow with thank-yous from progressive causes. Their fundraisers could usually count on having a fresh Warhol or two to auction off. Warhol’s Death and Disaster paintings help prove his greatness as an artist. They also present him as an engaged and thoughtful citizen. Blake Gopnik’s Daily Pic appears at BlakeGopnik.com and ArtnetNews.com, where he is critic at large.

Their making usually reflects a determination on the part of the director or star to see the artist as an alter-ego. Many of them were adaptations of successful literary works, which tempted financial backers by having a ready-made audience based on a pre-established reputation. The sub-genre’s development is explored via the grouping of films with associated themes and the use of case studies.

  • 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. 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.

    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.
