  • Richard-Hambleton-Catalog-1.Pdf
    REFLECTIONS Now the sine qua non of mega-collectors and elite auction houses around the world, the once subversive “Street Art” that originated in New York City in the 1980s with such artists as Keith Haring and Jean Michel Basquiat has redefined where and how we look at art. Today, in the streets and in contemporary galleries, names such as Banksy, Stik and Shepard Fairey are familiar to hip, younger collectors. With fairs and festivals from New York to the Greek Islands and beyond, “Street Art” has become a global phenomenon. The wave of creativity that began to be noticed thirty-five years ago in New York’s East Village and brought renown to such ‘tags’ as “Samo,” “Crash,” “Daze” and “Lady Pink” was a fertile, drug fueled period of spray and splatter. Julian Schnabel had begun to make headlines for the upstart Mary Boone Gallery as Ronald Reagan became President and scientists raced to contain the spread of a mysterious and deadly new virus (HIV Aids). It was into this environment that Canadian artist Richard Hambleton arrived. Hambleton’s first stop in America was the west coast of the United States. He used funds from a grant to visit cities like Seattle and San Francisco, where he caused an uproar with his controversial “Mass Murder” series. The artist peppered the sidewalks with white chalk outlines of bodies – like those a police coroner sketches around the victim of a crime – the bloodier looking the better. The authorities were not amused. He was told also, that he was ineligible for future grant money by his donors.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract The rise of neo-conservatism defined the critical context of many appraisals of artistic work produced in downtown New York in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Although initial reviews of the scene were largely enthusiastic, subsequent assessments of artistic work from this period have been largely negative. Artists like Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Kenny Scharf have been assessed primarily in terms of gentrification, commodification, and political commitment relying upon various theoretical assumptions about social processes. The conclusions reached have primarily centred upon the lack of resistance by these artists to post­ industrial capitalism in its various manifestations.

  • Doyle Auction House, “Richard Hambleton”
    by Angelo Madrigale NEW YORK, NY -- His early years in New York brought about his To call artist Richard Hambleton famed Shadowman series, which became his best- mercurial would be a grand known work. Akin to the Image Mass Murder series, Hambleton’s Shadowmen were life-sized understatement. inky black abstract figures, placed strategically throughout downtown New York. Photographer Having passed away at age 65 just this past October, Hank O’ Neal deftly described them as “silhouettes Hambleton leaves behind a legacy of important of a nuclear blast,” the figures were imposing and work that would come to set the foundation for often frightening, lurking in alleyways, and even what we now call Street Art, though his personal confusing cabbies on the Bowery, mistakenly life was sadly marred with addiction and disease. thinking their splattered outstretched arms might Hailing from Vancouver, Hambleton made a stop be hailing a ride. Many coming out of CBGBs and in San Francisco before finally settling into the other late-night haunts found themselves victims of Lower East Side in 1979.

  • Richard Hambleton Preface
    A selection of my most recent writing for Munich’s Museum of Urban and Contemporary Art: Preface of our Richard Hambleton retrospective. Richard Hambleton is a foundational urban artist in more than one sense. The mysterious ferocity of this pioneering vandal’s interventions has set the tone for street art’s brazen approach since. His preference for anonymity in the appropriation of public space consciously marginalised his own identity as an artist; much of his elusive life was spent, quite literally, in the shadows. Both his themes and methods move along outer boundaries and reflect a figure well-acquainted with urban abyss. The liminal imagery of Hambleton’s mischievous street art conjures the very real darkness underlying mass spectacle; it generated feedback with a paranoia that, to this day, echoes across the public landscape. The warmth and enthusiasm with which collectors overseas contributed to our curation has enabled us to retrace the artist’s creative phases through a life that drifted between rockstardom and the void. Our retrospective encompasses the full range of Hambleton’s oeuvre, from 1983 to his death in 2017. His earliest public interventions, pretend crime scenes, spun into a performance that teased the limits of law, with Hambleton hanging up wanted posters that blurred into a murderous detective chasing himself. The victim outlines soon morphed from pavements onto city walls in his I Only Have Eyes for You series, ghost-like paste works that French street artist JR credits as an inspiration for his own renowned projects. The paper on which Hambleton printed his life-size likeness faded, leaving behind a pale trace – a white shadow.

  • Projecting an Endearing Combination of Self
    MAY 2009 Jean-Michel Basquiat, untitled, 1981, ink, crayon, and acrylic on paper, from a set of fourteen drawings, 30 x 22” each. Projecting an endearing combination of self-effacement and plantation cynicism, Shaquille O’Neal, the #1 NBA draft pick, said in a recent TV profile, “I’ve got three different smiles: the $1 million smile, the $2 million smile, and the $3 million smile.” It went beyond playing the game: with a $40 million contract and limitless prospects for endorsement, O’Neal was a winner. His situation seemed to shed light on the art world’s own black- player-of-the-moment. For there is no doubt that the most bizarre aspect of the recent Jean-Michel Basquiat retrospective at New York’s Whitney Museum of American Art was its aura of sport. Analysis of the work was put on hold, pending results of two different horse races. First: could Basquiat’s prices hold with this much exposure? Answer: yes. The match race between Basquiat and Julian Schnabel continues. At the big New York and London auctions following the opening, Schnabel’s best was $165,000; a Basquiat made $228,000. His prices are at 50 or 60 percent of the earlier bull market and steadily rising. His work has become more, rather than less, financially interesting now that its obsessions with colonialism, creolism, and history can be plugged into the market’s three-year-old concern with multiculturalism. Second: Would jamming one hundred pieces together help or hurt his critical reputation? Answer: maybe; the air hasn’t cleared.
