  • Jeffrey Steele

    Jeffrey Steele

    Jeffrey Steele RCM Galerie Jeffrey Steele La structure et le rythme La structure et le rythme : sur l’art de Jeffrey Steele Le peintre britannique Jeffrey Steele a été l’une des figures artistiques les plus en vue au sein de ce grand mouvement qui a animé les années 1960, l’art cinétique. Grâce à un seul tableau, peint en 1964, immédiatement devenu l’archétype de ce qu’un journaliste de Time Magazine désigna sous l’abréviation d’ Op Art pour Optical Art, en prenant bien le soin d’annoncer dans le titre de l’article sa teneur : « Pictures that attack the Eye ». Pour l’Amé- rique, le ton était donné. L’oeuvre intitulée Baroque Experiment - Fred Maddox devint tout de suite emblématique de la grande exposition internationale The Responsive Eye, qui fut organisée l’année suivante au Museum of Modern Art à New York par William C. Seitz et qui connut malgré les réserves d’une partie du public et de la presse en général un grand retentissement. Baroque Experiment - Fred Maddox, le tableau de Jeffrey Steele aujourd’hui chez un col- lectionneur brésilien, est en effet exemplaire de son art : abstrait, géométrique, bi-dimen- sionnel, fortement structuré par un ensemble de rectangles concentriques partant du centre et augmentant vers la périphérie, en même temps déstabilisé par le basculement de ses élé- ments dans un sens et dans l’autre. Les espaces ainsi créés se trouvent entièrement occupés d’une même forme en demi - lune répétée dont la hauteur est proportionnelle à la largeur des espaces. Le noyau central quant à lui est tapissé de cercles pleins.

    Studio International Magazine: Tales from Peter Townsend’S Editorial Papers 1965-1975

    Studio International magazine: Tales from Peter Townsend’s editorial papers 1965-1975 Joanna Melvin 49015858 2013 Declaration of authorship I, Joanna Melvin certify that the worK presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this is indicated in the thesis. i Tales from Studio International Magazine: Peter Townsend’s editorial papers, 1965-1975 When Peter Townsend was appointed editor of Studio International in November 1965 it was the longest running British art magazine, founded 1893 as The Studio by Charles Holme with editor Gleeson White. Townsend’s predecessor, GS Whittet adopted the additional International in 1964, devised to stimulate advertising. The change facilitated Townsend’s reinvention of the radical policies of its founder as a magazine for artists with an international outlooK. His decision to appoint an International Advisory Committee as well as a London based Advisory Board show this commitment. Townsend’s editorial in January 1966 declares the magazine’s aim, ‘not to ape’ its ancestor, but ‘rediscover its liveliness.’ He emphasised magazine’s geographical position, poised between Europe and the US, susceptible to the influences of both and wholly committed to neither, it would be alert to what the artists themselves wanted. Townsend’s policy pioneered the magazine’s presentation of new experimental practices and art-for-the-page as well as the magazine as an alternative exhibition site and specially designed artist’s covers. The thesis gives centre stage to a British perspective on international and transatlantic dialogues from 1965-1975, presenting case studies to show the importance of the magazine’s influence achieved through Townsend’s policy of devolving responsibility to artists and Key assistant editors, Charles Harrison, John McEwen, and contributing editor Barbara Reise.
  • Charles Saatchi's 'Newspeak'

    Charles Saatchi's 'Newspeak'

    Charles Saatchi’s ‘Newspeak’ By Jackie Wullschlager Published: June 4 2010 22:15 | Last updated: June 4 2010 22:15 Is Charles Saatchi having fun? On the plus side, he is the biggest private collector in Britain. His Chelsea gallery is among the most beautiful and well-appointed in the world. It is relaxed, impious, free, and full, which matters because, as Saatchi often admits, “I primarily buy art to show it off.” He buys whatever he likes, often on a whim: “the key is to have very wobbly taste.” Yet for all the flamboyance with which he presents his purchases, it is not clear that he is convinced by them. “By and large talent is in such short supply mediocrity can be taken for brilliance rather more than genius can go undiscovered,” he says, adding that when history edits the late 20th century, “every artist other than Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol, Donald Judd and Damien Hirst will be a footnote.” These quotations come from a question-and-answer volume, My Name is Charles Saatchi and I am an Artoholic, published last autumn, and their tone of breezy disenchantment, combined with the insouciance with which his new show, Newspeak, is selected and curated, suggests that at 67 Saatchi is downgrading his game. After recent exhibitions concentrated on China, the Middle East, America and India, Newspeak It Happened In The Corner’ (2007) by Glasgow-based duo littlewhitehead returns to the territory with which he made his name as a collector in Sensation in 1997: young British artists. But whereas Sensation, tightly selected around curator Norman Rosenthal’s theme of a “new and radical attitude to realism” by artists including Hirst, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Rachel Whiteread, Marc Quinn, had a precise, powerful theme, Newspeak has a scatter-gun, unfocused approach.

    Georg Baselitz: Raw Views of a Painful Past

    The New York Times February 26, 2014 GAGOSIAN GALLERY Georg Baselitz: Raw Views of a Painful Past Farah Nayeri Georg Baselitz in his studio. Credit Martin Müller/Gagosian Gallery LONDON — In the autumn of 1958, an East German art student ventured into an exhibition of American paintings and was staggered by what he saw. Hanging on wall after wall of a West Berlin academy were works by Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning and other Abstract Expressionists. “I found those pictures so overwhelming, so totally unexpected, so different from the experience of my own world at the time that I felt totally desperate, because I thought I’d never stand a chance of doing well compared to those painters,” Georg Baselitz recalled in an interview at the Gagosian Gallery here. “The dimensions, to us, were just huge: an expression of freedom,” Mr. Baselitz said, speaking through a translator. “Our canvases felt pathetic, tiny.” More than a half-century later, Mr. Baselitz carries that experience with him. Now 76, he is being honored with three London exhibitions: “Farewell Bill,” a tribute to De Kooning is at Gagosian through March 29; “Germany Divided: Baselitz and His Generation,” through Aug. 31 at the British Museum, features more than 40 of Mr. Baselitz’s works on paper; and he has lent some 16th-century prints to the Royal Academy of Arts’s “Renaissance Impressions: Chiaroscuro Woodcuts From the Collections of Georg Baselitz and the Albertina, Vienna,” which runs from March 15 through June 8. For much of his life, Mr. Baselitz has created work around one central theme: the pain of growing up in the ruins of Nazi Germany.

    From 199C to 199D Liam Gillick

    FROM 199C TO 199D LIAM GILLICK MAGASIN / Centre National d’Art Contemporain École du MAGASIN June 6 - September 7, 2014 For more than twenty years Liam Gillick (born 1964, U.K.) has questioned the exhibition as a phenomenon and isolated the possible markers that could define it. These include the occupation of time, the role of the institu- tion and varied forms of collaboration. In the 1990s the most prominent of his interests questioned the dynamic relationship between artists, curators and institutions. Twenty years later he is working with curatorial students to reanimate early works from the 1990s. The first version of this process was From 199A to 199B at the CCS Bard Hessel Museum in New York in 2012. The exhibition From 199C to 199D is a completely new development that expands upon the original exhibition. Liam Gillick has worked closely alongside the students of the École du MAGASIN - Claire Astier, Neringa Bum- bliené, Paola Bonino, Giulia Bortoluzzi, Selma Boskailo and Anna Tomczak – and MAGASIN Director Yves Aupetitallot for nine months towards the reanimation of a selection of key works from the 1990s. Particular focus is upon works that articulate changes and continuities in cultural, political and social discourse over the last twenty years. The exhibition at MAGASIN expands in different way through a forthcoming publication and the official website of Session 23. A book will be published by JRP/Ringier that includes a survey of the Bard and MAGASIN exhibitions and includes essays by Paul O’Neill and Jorn Schaffaf.

  • Sculptors' Jewellery Offers an Experience of Sculpture at Quite the Opposite End of the Scale

    Sculptors' Jewellery Offers an Experience of Sculpture at Quite the Opposite End of the Scale

    SCULPTORS’ JEWELLERY PANGOLIN LONDON FOREWORD The gift of a piece of jewellery seems to have taken a special role in human ritual since Man’s earliest existence. In the most ancient of tombs, archaeologists invariably excavate metal or stone objects which seem to have been designed to be worn on the body. Despite the tiny scale of these precious objects, their ubiquity in all cultures would indicate that jewellery has always held great significance.Gold, silver, bronze, precious stone, ceramic and natural objects have been fashioned for millennia to decorate, embellish and adorn the human body. Jewellery has been worn as a signifier of prowess, status and wealth as well as a symbol of belonging or allegiance. Perhaps its most enduring function is as a token of love and it is mostly in this vein that a sculptor’s jewellery is made: a symbol of affection for a spouse, loved one or close friend. Over a period of several years, through trying my own hand at making rings, I have become aware of and fascinated by the jewellery of sculptors. This in turn has opened my eyes to the huge diversity of what are in effect, wearable, miniature sculptures. The materials used are generally precious in nature and the intimacy of being worn on the body marries well with the miniaturisation of form. For this exhibition Pangolin London has been fortunate in being able to collate a very special selection of works, ranging from the historical to the contemporary. To complement this, we have also actively commissioned a series of exciting new pieces from a broad spectrum of artists working today.
