  • Order Reconstruction by Ping Jie
    Order Reconstruction By Ping Jie Innovators of ink often have two orientations of value: look inward and look outward. People who look inward pay attention to traditional subversion and innovation, while people who look outward pay attention to the connection and achievements within the history of contemporary art. Inward looking artists disregard Western art, and their works exhibit an oriental aesthetic mood that the literati is fond of. Outward looking artists, on the other hand, try to seek consensus and resonance from an international art stage while their works present both the purity of artistic body and the mystery of Oriental charm. Although the two are not completely disconnected, an ink artist's value orientation has a consequential impact on his artistic direction. Whether it is looking in or looking out, innovation of art always encompasses a lineage of heritage and reconstruction. The former triggers a leap of the Chinese art history, whereas the latter integrates with contemporary art history. Most importantly, the artists are always sticklers of their own ideas and never become ‘the others' (losing themselves). We can see traces of appropriation and reference in the works of contemporary art masters, but they are not indeed ‘captured' by those elements they looked into. In mid-1980s, New York minimalist master Brice Marden's style suddenly turned in favor of abstract expression. He created the piece<Han Shan Research 1-35> (1988-1990) based on his study of the Chinese Tang Dynasty poet monk Hanshan's work. In this piece Brice Marden uses calligraphic strokes at liberty in regard of the cursive script.

New York – This March, Christie’s will present the Collection of Earl and Camilla McGrath. Married for 44- years, Earl was the former head of Rolling Stone Records and a bicoastal gallerist, and Camilla was an Italian countess and an exceptional photographer. The McGraths were a social power couple who counted many of the leading artists and intellectuals amongst their friends, and their collection reflects a remarkable life spent alongside the greatest creative forces of the 20th century. Comprising over 135 examples of Post-War and Contemporary art, the collection will be offered in both a dedicated eponymous auction on March 3, and within the various owner Prints and Multiples sale on March 1. Highlights from the exhibition will be on view in Los Angeles February 9–11 at the De Re Gallery. “Earl is the Gertrude Stein of our era,” artist Ron Cooper once noted. “He had a salon like Stein. I met Andy Warhol through him and Jack Nicholson and Dennis Hopper and Michelle Phillips and Michael Crichton and Joan [Didion] and John [Dunne] and… just an amazing roster of people.” The couple’s residences in New York and Los Angeles were gathering places for the world’s most influential social figures, including artists such as Andy Warhol, Cy Twombly, Larry Rivers, Brice Marden, Bruce Nauman and Robert Graham.

  • The FLAG Art Foundation Presents New Exhibition: “Attention To
    The FLAG Art Foundation Pre sents New Exhibition: “Attention to Detail” The FLAG Art Foundation is pleased to announce its inaugural ex hibition, "Attention to Detail." Curated by renowned contemporary artist Chuck Close, the show includes work from a wide range of both established and emerging artists: Louise Bourgeois Brice Marden Delia Brown Tony Matelli Glenn Brown Ron Mueck Maurizio Cattelan Richard Patterson Vija Celmins Richard Pettibone Jennifer Dalton Elizabeth Peyton Thomas Demand Richard Phillips Tara Donovan Marc Quinn Olafur Eliasson Alessandro Raho Dan Fischer Gerhard Richter Tom Friedman Aaron Romine Ellen Gallagher Ed Ruscha Tim Gardner Cindy Sherman Franz Gertsch James Siena Ewan Gibbs Ken Solomon Robert Gober Thomas Struth Andreas Gursky Tomoaki Suzuki Damien Hirst Yuken Teruya Jim Hodges Fred Tomaselli Naoto Kawahara Jim Torok Ellsworth Kelly Mark Wagner Cary Kwok Rachel Whiteread Robert Lazzarini Fred Wilson Graham Little Steve Wolfe Christian Marclay Lisa Yuskavage Whether it is through conceptual or technical precision, the deceptively lifelik e nature of a hand-crafted image, a playful interpretation or distortion of a familiar object or the detailed appropriation of another artist's work, an acute focus on the minute connects these works and these artists’ approaches. These artists demonstrate a labor-intensive and exacting artistic passion in their respective processes. As Chuck Close fittingly reflects with respect to his own work, "I am going for a level of perfection that is only mine...Most of the pleas ure is in getting the last little piece perfect." Chuck Close (b. 1940, Monroe, WA) received his B.A. from the University of Washington, Seattle before studying at Yale University School of Art and Architecture (B.F.A., 1963; M.F.A.

  • Chuck Close Art Kaleidoscope Foundation
    CHUCK CLOSE ART KALEIDOSCOPE FOUNDATION/Color/???/116 Mins./Not Rated Featuring: Chuck Close, Brice Marden, Robert Storr, Dorothea Rockburne, Lucas Samaras, Robert Rauschenberg, Philip Glass, Arne Glimcher, Kiki Smith, Elizabeth Murray, Alex Katz, Janet Fish, Kirk Varnedoe. Credits: Produced and directed by Marion Cajori. Directors of photography: Mead Hunt, Ken Kobland, David Leitner. Edited by Cajori, Kobland. Music by Philip Glass, performed b Bruce Levingston. An Art Kaleidoscope Foundation production. Through the famous portrait artist’s subjects, filmmaker Marion Cajori crafts a clever biographical documentary of Chuck Close. Marion Cajori died before completing Chuck Close, her documentary portrait of an artist known for his unique portraits and self-portraits. In what could only have been a conscious nod to her subject, Cajori’s cinematic construct cleverly imitates Close’s signature hieroglyphic boxes, which he paints and superimposes upon a photograph. Abstract artist Brice Marden says in the documentary that with Close’s portraits “you add up all the details and you get the soul,” and the same can be said for Cajori’s film—through a series of vignettes, interviews with Close’s friends and family, the filmmaker reveals the soul of the portraitist. Cajori pursues Close and his work in the same way that someone might approach one of his portraits, which are large canvases of his subject’s heads. She leans in to show Close bringing the brush to the paint, and Close painting an uneven line or a protozoa-like shape on the canvas. Then she steps back to show completed portraits, and the actual faces of Close’s subjects, and sometimes a long shot in the studio where Close, in a wheelchair, is the focal point of the shot.

  • Artprice by Art Market: 10 Works That Should Ignite Bidding at New York's
    Artprice by Art Market: 10 works that should ignite bidding at New York’s prestige sales, 11 - 20 November 2019 Works sold over $10 million at auction in New York (2000 - October 2019) [https://imgpublic.artprice.com/img/wp/sites/11/2019/11/new-york-usd-10-million.png] For thierry Ehrmann, founder/CEO of Artmarket.com, “This year’s best auction performances have relied less on the Art Market’s top four ultra-prestigious signatures (Monet, Picasso, Warhol and Basquiat) and more on artists who are gaining momentum. The major auction houses are today working on bringing new artists into the very closed circle of ‘$10 million-plus’ artists”. Rather than waiting for the arrival of a single exceptional work – like the Salvator Mundi or the Women of Algiers – auction houses are concentrating on generating more results above the $10 million threshold. And, as we have seen, when several major collectors are chasing the same piece, prices can fly. This was the case for Past Times (1997) by African-American artist Kerry James Marshall in May 2018, and for La Terrasse (1912) by Pierre Bonnard earlier this year. Artprice has selected the ten works most likely to elicit strong bidding in New York next week: Ed Rusha - Hurting the Word Radio #2 (1964): $30 - 40 million This painting could well exceed the $30.4 million hammered in November 2014 for Smash (1963) and crown an already exceptional year for Ed Ruscha on the secondary market. The first version of Hurting the Word Radio is in Houston’s prestigious Menil Collection.

  • Writing on the Wall: Brice Marden's Chinese Work and Modernism
    臺大歷史學報第 40 其月 B1B LlD l012-8514(2007)40p.201-237 2007 年 12 月，頁 201-237 2007.6.25 收稿， 2007.1 1.1 9 通過刊登 Writing on the Wall: Brice Marden's Chinese Work and Modernism L凹， Chiao-mei Abstract Brice M訂den (b. 1938) began his career in the late 1960s as a “Minimalist" painter, but he soon reacted against the Western post-modernist idea of “the death of painting" and turned to Chinese calligraphy to revitalize the idea of the picture plane mounted on the wall as the most distinctive element of painterly art, an idea referring to the allover flat, non-illusionist pictorial surface which is epitomized by Jackson Pollock's mural-sized paintings (1947-1951) according to the formalist art criticism of Clement Greenberg (1 909-1994), influential in discourses and practice of American art from the 1940s until it is discredited by the late 1960s. Having journeyed from Western classical and modem art through the wall supposedly separating Eastern art, Marden was inspired by Chinese poetry and dancers depicted on the walls of the Tang period and garden rocks of Suzhou. He reinvented the modernist wall metaphor in the sense of pictorial depth and created a vision of material and spiritual transaction between East and West through rediscovery of art history. Vis-a-vis the modernist and post­ modernist dogmas in regard to painting, Marden let the world in again by bringing together different pictorial cultures into the indisputable space of the picture plane. Keywords: Brice Marden, modernism, painting, Twentieth Century .. Assistant Professor, Department of History, National Taiwan University.
