Giacometti sculpture set to fetch $100m at NY auction bronze sculpture by Swiss artist Alberto Giacometti valued at more than $100 million and 20 works by Apop art icon Andy Warhol headline New York’s fall art auction season next week. Art worth at least $1.7 billion from impressionist and modern; post-war and contemporary go under the ham- mer at Christie’s and Sotheby’s at combined evening and day sales from November 4 to 12. The most expensive lot under the hammer is Giacometti’s 1950 “Chariot,” the highlight of Sotheby’s impressionist sale on Tuesday. The auction house calls it one of the seminal achievements of modern art and val- ues it at more than $100 million. “The market is rediscov- ering sculpture and they are now among the most desir- able works of art,” said Simon Shaw, co-head of impres- sionist and modern art at Sotheby’s. “This is really what collectors from Brazil, Asia, Russia are dreaming of.” It is incredibly rare. Of Giacometti’s six chariots, four are in museums and the fifth is with a pri- vate owner who has no intention of selling. The Sotheby’s “Chariot,” which depicts a goddess frozen in motion and considered a beacon of hope for the post-World War gen- eration, has been in the same private collection for four decades. “Given the $104.3 million achieved at Sotheby’s by Giacometti’s ‘Homme qui marche I’ in 2010, we believe that ‘Chariot’ could sell for in excess of $100 million,” said Shaw. Sotheby’s also offers Amedeo Modigliani’s “Tete,” which like “Chariot” is coming up for auction for the first Dressed as Mr. Halloween, Rolando Vega takes part in the Village Halloween Parade in New York Friday Oct. 31, 2014. time.

  • The Charismatic Leadership and Cultural Legacy of Stan Lee
    REINVENTING THE AMERICAN SUPERHERO: THE CHARISMATIC LEADERSHIP AND CULTURAL LEGACY OF STAN LEE Hazel Homer-Wambeam Junior Individual Documentary Process Paper: 499 Words !1 “A different house of worship A different color skin A piece of land that’s coveted And the drums of war begin.” -Stan Lee, 1970 THESIS As the comic book industry was collapsing during the 1950s and 60s, Stan Lee utilized his charismatic leadership style to reinvent and revive the superhero phenomenon. By leading the industry into the “Marvel Age,” Lee has left a multilayered legacy. Examples of this include raising awareness of social issues, shaping contemporary pop-culture, teaching literacy, giving people hope and self-confidence in the face of adversity, and leaving behind a multibillion dollar industry that employs thousands of people. TOPIC I was inspired to learn about Stan Lee after watching my first Marvel movie last spring. I was never interested in superheroes before this project, but now I have become an expert on the history of Marvel and have a new found love for the genre. Stan Lee’s entire personal collection is archived at the University of Wyoming American Heritage Center in my hometown. It contains 196 boxes of interviews, correspondence, original manuscripts, photos and comics from the 1920s to today. This was an amazing opportunity to obtain primary resources. !2 RESEARCH My most important primary resource was the phone interview I conducted with Stan Lee himself, now 92 years old. It was a rare opportunity that few people have had, and quite an honor! I use clips of Lee’s answers in my documentary.

As lecturers, tutors and teachers, our aim is to set in motion the conditions necessary for students to begin to gather together critical writing, features, essays and interviews, which map and explore the ecosystem that makes for contemporary art and its varied practices and positions. We offer advice and supervision, but mainly the opportunity to take ownership of the endeavour and shape the experience and outcome as theirs. Before you is the product of those efforts in C#15. The cohort of students that comprise the class of 2014–15 are now, as I write, finishing up their course work and preparing the transition to forging their own professional practices and positions in the art world. We take pride that they may already appreciate such a shift as akin a move into the grand theatre of objects variously arranged in space and time relative to perceiving subjects that is the lebenswelt, or lifeworld. This is ultimately the dynamic horizon against which they will continue to learn and live, laugh, love and labour. We wish them well and thank them for being excellent representatives of Christie’s Education.

  • Pop Art and Popular Music
    Pop Art and Popular Music This book offers an innovative and interdisciplinary approach to Pop art scholarship through a recuperation of popular music into art historical understandings of the movement. Jukebox modernism is a procedure by which Pop artists used popular music within their works to disrupt decorous modernism during the 1960s. Artists, including Peter Blake, Pauline Boty, James Rosenquist, and Andy Warhol, respond to popular music for reasons such as its emotional connectivity, issues of fandom and identity, and the pleasures and problems of looking and listening to an artwork. When we both look at and listen to Pop art, essential aspects of Pop’s history that have been neglected—its sounds, its women, its queerness, and its black subjects— come into focus. Melissa L. Mednicov is Assistant Professor of Art History at Sam Houston State University. Cover Image: Pauline Boty, My Colouring Book (1963), oil on canvas, 152.4 x 121.9 cm.
