  • Ar204 Art and Interpretation
    AR204 ART AND INTERPRETATION Art and Aesthetics Module: Art Objects and Experience Fall 2019 Seminar Leader: Geoff Lehman Course Times: Wednesday, 9:00- 10:30 and Friday, 10:45-12:15 (9:00-12:15 for museum visits) Email: [email protected] Office Hours: Tuesdays, 14:00-16:00 Course Description Describing a painting, the art historian Leo Steinberg wrote: “The picture conducts itself the way a vital presence behaves. It creates an encounter.” In this course, we will encounter works of art to explore the specific dialogue each creates with a viewer and the range of interpretive possibilities it offers. More specifically, the course will examine various interpretive approaches to art, including formal analysis, iconography, social and historical contextualism, aestheticism, phenomenology, and psychoanalysis. Most importantly, we will engage interpretation in ways that are significant both within art historical discourse and in addressing larger questions of human experience and (self- )knowledge, considering the dialogue with the artwork in its affective (emotional) as well as its intellectual aspects. The course will be guided throughout by sustained discussion of a small number of individual artworks, with a focus on pictorial representation (painting, drawing, photography), although sculpture and installation art will also be considered. We will look at works from a range of different cultural traditions, and among the artists we will focus on are Xia Gui, Giorgione, Bruegel, Mirza Ali, Velázquez, Hokusai, Manet, Picasso, Man Ray, Martin, and Sherman. Readings will focus on texts in art history and theory but also include philosophical and psychoanalytic texts (Pater, Wölfflin, Freud, Merleau-Ponty, Barthes, Clark, and Krauss, among others).

Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Gyongy Laky, dated October 21, 1999.

  • For Immediate Release George Condo
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE GEORGE CONDO: NEW WORKS OPENING RECEPTION: APRIL 27, 6-8PM 20 East 79th Street, New York Skarstedt is pleased to present George Condo: New Works, an exhibition of new sculptures and paintings on view from April 27 – June 24, 2017 at Skarstedt Upper East Side, 20 East 79th Street, New York, NY 10075. In December 2014 Condo began working on Origin, a small wood sculpture he hand-painted, cut, and glued together. Origin soon became the subject of three larger-scaled variations in bronze. These variations represent a return to methods of sculpting that the artist first took up with his earliest three-dimensional works in the late 1980s—using wood, clay, plaster, paint, fabric, and found objects to create bronze sculptures that incorporate both figurative and abstract elements. Here we see Condo’s concept of the “simulated found object,” which he explored in his earliest exhibited paintings in the 1980s, combined with the use of real found objects from his studio into entirely new figurative forms in bronze. Condo cuts, screws, and hinges together flat surfaces of plywood into angular figurative representations then applies layers of plaster, clay and paint squeezed directly from the tube, “knowing that once cast in bronze all of my markings will remain present and be reinvigorated in the patinated surfaces,” the artist says. Writing in 2015 on the subject of what he referred to as Condo’s “unedited human disasters,” Simon Baker described his sculptures as having: “the barest suggestion of anatomical specificity barely distinguishable from the raw materials from which they were produced, but as with Condo’s work in every medium, openly manifesting a dramatic and irrepressible joy in the process of production.” (Simon Baker, Painting Reconfigured, pg.

  • Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum Für Gegenwart Receives 166 Contemporary Artworks, Donated by Friedrich Christian Flick
    STIFTUNG DER PRÄSIDENT PREUSSISCHER KULTURBESITZ Referat Presse- und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit Berlin, 19 th February 2008 Press release: Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart receives 166 contemporary artworks, donated by Friedrich Christian Flick The art collector Friedrich Christian Flick and the President of the Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz (Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation), Klaus-Dieter Lehmann, today signed a contract in Berlin on the gift to the Hamburger Bahnhof of 166 important works by 44 contemporary artists. This is the result of a period of constructive and successful collaboration between the Hamburger Bahnhof - Museum für Gegenwart and the collector, a period that began in September 2004 with the first large-scale exhibition, broad in compass, of Friedrich Christian Flick's art collection and has since continued with a succession of thematic and monographic displays. The Friedrich Christian Flick Collection is indisputably one of the best and largest collections of contemporary art in the world today. There are no particular conditions attached to the private collector's gift, whose sheer size and quality render it unique amongst post-war art donations. Most of the oeuvres are already familiar to the museum-going public from the Hamburger Bahnhof displays comprising works from the Collection. With 250,000 visitors last year the Museum is one of the best-frequented museums for contemporary art. Friedrich Christian Flick explains: "We selected the works for their importance as museum pieces, most of them key works in the careers of their respective artists. Whenever I've developed an interest in a particular artist and decided that I like his or her art I've always tried to collect the artist's work in depth and put together blocks of works.
