O’Rourke Graduate School of Creative Arts and Media February 2020 Abstract The bases of artistic reputation have been widely debated within the sociology of art and art history. Remarkably, however, little has been said of the role discourse might play in the construction of artistic reputation. An obstacle to addressing this research gap is that discourse analytic approaches have been developed to analyse evaluation and the construction of legitimacy but not the construction of reputation. Attending first to this research gap in discourse analysis, the thesis combines Field Theory and Discourse Analysis to develop a Discursive Field Approach that can analyse the discursive construction of reputation in a cultural field. Using this approach, the thesis attends to the research gap in the literature on artistic reputation by addressing the research question: How is reputation constructed through discourse in the field of online contemporary art magazines? This breaks down into the following sub- questions: How do OCAMs acquire the capacity to discursively construct reputation? How is the discursive construction of reputation by OCAMs regulated? How is reputation linguistically constructed by OCAMs? How do OCAMs propose the value of different symbolic resources within the artworld? And, how do internal and external structures in the field of OCAMs affect OCAMs’ construction of reputation? This thesis proposes that online contemporary art magazines acquire the capacity to construct reputation through the possession of key symbolic resources and their use of communication technologies, that their construction of reputation is regulated by field-specific norms, that they linguistically construct reputation through performative statements and supporting linguistic devices, and that the opposition between cultural and commercial discursive practices in the field of online contemporary art magazines comes to bear on the value of different symbolic resources in the artworld and the artworld’s relationships to legitimating fields.

  • The Museum of Modern Art (Moma)
    QUICK VIEW: Synopsis Since its inception in 1929, the Museum of Modern Art has continually redefined the idea of the museum in contemporary Western culture. Originally conceived by its founders as a place for Modern art to come and go (because what makes up modernism is constantly changing), MoMA, as it is commonly known, established a permanent collection in 1952 and has become the home for some of the greatest works of avant-garde painting, sculpture, film and multi-media art in the world. While MoMA remains true to its roots as a place where new styles of art can circulate, its permanent collection is widely considered the most impressive and diverse assortment of Modern art to ever exist, ranging from late-19th-century van Goghs, Monets and Gauguins to works produced in the present day. The idea of a Museum of Modern Art was once considered by critics to be an oxymoron. Its very existence posed the question: How can there be a museum (a permanent institution housing the heritage of human civilization) for Modern art (which embodies the ideal of always moving forward and constantly changing)? Rather than shy away from this paradox, MoMA has embraced its contradictory nature by appealing to both the history of Modernism and the legacy it continues to leave in the 21st century. Founding principles • The idea for the museum was first developed by a group of philanthropists, educators and museum curators, led by Abby Aldrich Rockefeller (wife of John D. Rockefeller), in 1928. They envisioned a modest-sized location in New York City that could essentially be a stop-over for some of Europe's finest Modern art.

  • FROM IMPRESSIONISM to POP ART Under the High Patronage of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco
    UNDER THE HIGH PATRONAGE OF HIS SERENE HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT II OF MONACO FROM IMPRESSIONISM TO POP ART Under the High Patronage of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco FROM IMPRESSIONISM TO POP ART Après l’immense succès de l’exposition “Picasso” en 2011, Opera Gallery Monaco présente cet été “de l’Impressionnisme au Pop Art”. Une exposition prestigieuse qui, à travers plus de 50 tableaux et dessins de grands Maîtres, nous permet de suivre la période de l’Histoire de l’Art qui va de la Révolution impressionniste au choc du Pop Art. Les tubes d’étain ont été inventés vers 1840, ils ont permis aux peintres impressionnistes de sortir de leur atelier pour aller peindre des paysages “sur le motif”, c’est-à-dire dans la nature. De la même manière, la peinture acrylique diluable à l’eau est créée en 1963, elle est immédiatement adoptée par les peintres Pop Art. Andy Warhol, est le premier utilisateur de cette peinture industrielle qui accompagne de manière pertinente son discours sur la société de consommation. Entre ces deux écoles illustrées par des tableaux de Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir d’un coté et Andy Warhol de l’autre, nous découvrons des œuvres de Fernand Léger, Marc Chagall mais aussi Joan Miró avec le splendide tableau Untitled, 1960 ou encore Fernando Botero. Enfin, nous n’avons pas résisté au plaisir de mettre en page de couverture du catalogue la gouache et aquarelle Les Grâces naturelles de René Magritte, un hommage au Maître du Surréalisme dans sa période influencée par Renoir, tout un symbole pour cette exposi- tion qui retrace la période de l’Histoire de l’Art aujourd’hui la plus prisée par les collectionneurs avertis et la plus recherchée par les amateurs de “valeurs refuges”.

  • Dennis Hopper, Photographs 1961–1967, Edited by Dennis Hopper and Tony Shafrazi
    Dennis Hopper, Photographs 1961–1967, edited by Dennis Hopper and Tony Shafrazi. Taschen, 2018 (484 pages). Joanna Elena Batsakis For fans of the prolific Hollywood artist Dennis Hopper, the re-release of Dennis Hopper, Photographs 1961–1967 is a sensational addition to the growing Hopper canon within Western film scholarship. Originally, the book was published as a limited-edition collector’s item in 2011, with a small run of 1,500 copies. Each copy was signed by Hopper himself, and there was an alternative option to purchase its even more prestigious version entitled Photographs 1961–1967 Art Edition, which included a gelatine print of Hopper’s infamous photograph Biker Couple (1961). In collaboration between The Hopper Art Trust, gallerist Tony Shafrazi, and Dennis Hopper, this original volume was massive in size: with 544 pages, its hardcover measured 30 centimetres in height by 33 centimetres in length and weighed 5.5 kilograms. The volume displayed dozens of black-and-white photographs Hopper had taken between 1961 and 1967, all on his Nikon Tri-X camera which was gifted to him by his first wife Brooke Hayward. The book also included introductory essays by Hopper’s long-time friends, such as Shafrazi and West Coast art pioneer Walter Hopps, as well as an extensive photographic biography authored by filmmaker and journalist Jessica Hundley. In 2018, Taschen and The Hopper Art Trust have co-operated to release a slightly smaller, unlimited trade edition of the same book, which is the subject of this review. Even though this year’s edition of has now been reduced to 484 pages and weighs 3.5 kilograms, the book is still an extremely ambitious project and integral to the Dennis Hopper canon.

  • WEEKEND UPDATE by Walter Robinson
    WEEKEND UPDATE by Walter Robinson If things feel a little droopy in New York, it ain’t just the heat -- it’s the Surrealists! The Guggenheim Museum is filled with symbolic phalluses, all castrated, deflated ​ ​ or stacked on skewers by Louise Bourgeois. Never has the spiral concrete womb so ​ ​ resembled a vast beehive, with queen Louise in its center. Down at the Museum of Modern Art are Salvador Dali’s famous melting clocks ​ ​ ​ ​ and oystery self-portraits, well-known emblems of his own impotency, in "Dali: Painting and Film." It’s a great show, with the galleries converted into a series of spacious theater spaces for Dali’s movies: Un Chien andalou (1929), L’Âge ​ ​ ​ d’or(1930), the dream-sequence clip from Alfred Hitchcock’s Spellbound (1944), ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Andy Warhol’s 1966 screen test. ​ Especially bizarre is the cartoon Destino (1946), a seven-minute-long Disney-Dali ​ ​ mashup that Dali did some fabulous drawings for, but that was only finished by the cartoon giant in 2003. Imagine Snow White dancing around a Dali landscape to an ​ ​ atonal symphony, and you pretty much got it. (As for press stills, there are none; no doubt Disney, famous for suing kindergartens for painting Mickey Mouse on their ​ ​ walls without permission, has some corporate policy against it.) Best of all is Dali’s Chaos and Creation (1960), a 17-minute-long black-and-white ​ ​ video made withPhilippe Halsman as a televised greeting to an avant-garde ​ ​ conference. Like a demented Ed Sullivan, Dali presents an easel holding a Piet ​ ​ ​ Mondrian painting, which dissolves into an actual pigsty, with real pigs in one ​ square, a model in an evening gown in another and a motorcycle in a third.

  • When Artworks Collide
    ART REVIEW When Artworks Collide Nicole Bengiveno/The New York Times At the Tony Shafrazi Gallery, this show contains two shows (one on wallpaper). By ROBERTA SMITH Published: May 16, 2008 “Who’s Afraid of Jasper Johns?,” a group show at the Tony Shafrazi Gallery in Chelsea, is the latest proof that you don’t have to be a museum to shake things up. It was organized by Gavin Brown, who has a downtown gallery of his own, and Urs Fischer, a Swiss artist he represents. Demonically aerobic for brain and eye, the show conflates two exhibitions and several different times, styles, art markets and notions of transgression. Highly site specific, it may also be one of the last words in appropriation art, institutional critique and artistic intervention, not to mention postmodern photography and, especially, wallpaper. Nicole Bengiveno/The New York Times An installation view shows Malcolm Morley’s “Age of Catastrophe” on top of a Keith Haring, left, and a Picabia over a Donald Baechler. The histories entwined here begin with Mr. Shafrazi, an infamous one-hit-wonder graffiti artist and longtime graffiti art dealer. In 1974 he spray-painted, in red, the words “Kill Lies All” on Picasso’s “Guernica,” then at the Museum of Modern Art (he meant to write “All Lies Kill”). By 1982 he had a SoHo gallery known for showing graffiti-related artists like Keith Haring, Kenny Scharf, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Donald Baechler. In 2004 Mr. Shafrazi relocated to an austere second-floor gallery in Chelsea, putting up long-running shows and concentrating mostly on the resale market: not only the graffitists but also blue-chip works by Picasso, Picabia and Francis Bacon.

A special thank you to our UMPI arts alumna, JANE CAULFIELD, owner of Morning Star Art & Framing of Presque Isle. The University of Maine at Presque Isle is grateful for their support. COVER IMAGE : “Shoe, (Women’s Single) 1980” Polaroid Unless otherwise noted, all images © Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc. Catalogue by Linda Zillman, M.A., History of Photography; Design & Layout: Dick Harrison The Warhol Photographs The Owl Undated 5” x 7” black and white print It is sheer luck that we received this photo, UMPI’s owl mascot, from the Warhol Foundation. We have made the pairing of The Owl and The Pussycat in honor of Edward Lear’s poem and with the thought that it is just the kind of association Warhol would have made. In 1978 Martha Graham created a dance entitled The Owl and the Pussycat using the words from Lear’s famous poem. Rudolph Nureyev danced and Liza Minnelli was the narrator. The Owl and the Pussycat played at Covent Garden and in New York City. ( Diaries, p. 229-230) Andy was present at the Covent Garden opening on July 23, 1979. ( Diaries, p. 230) Both The Owl and The Pussycat share the same white background as well as interesting shadows in the photographs. Not exactly dancing “by the light of the moon,” as Lear wrote, but use your imagination! The Warhol Photographs The Pussycat Undated 5” x 7” black and white print In 1976, Andy Warhol did an acrylic and silkscreen ink on canvas portrait of a cat.

Most often I have been asked, "Why call what seems to Acknowledgment 'obviously' be an abstract painting exhibition, The City Influence?" A more fulfilling answer to this question will be discovered in acareful reading of the following texts. But for now I will respond simply that the title describes the artists as urban dwellers and makes reference to the content of their art. Asecond frequent question has been, "Why do the show here and now?" The here part is easy: Wright State's exhibition program has always been concerned with investigating changing ideas concerning aesthetics, and this show surely fits that mode.
