  • George Condo: 'I Was Delirious. Nearly Died' He Worked for Warhol, Jammed with Basquiat – and Now Designs Albums for Kanye West and Handbags for Kim Kardashian
    The Guardian S. Jeffries, ‘George Condo: ‘I was delirious. Nearly died’ 10 February 2014 George Condo: 'I was delirious. Nearly died' He worked for Warhol, jammed with Basquiat – and now designs albums for Kanye West and handbags for Kim Kardashian. But has a recent near-death experience made George Condo's work even weirder BY Stuart Jeffries 'I describe what I do as psychological cubism' … George Condo at the Simon Lee Gallery in London. Photograph: Sarah Lee for the Guardian Last May, George Condo had a near-death experience. The American artist was visiting Berlin after finishing a suite of ink drawings. "I guess my immune system was down and I was in a weird state of mind." "Weirder than usual?" I ask, as we look at those drawings at the Skarstedt Gallery, one of two London venues showing his work this month. "Much weirder," he says. He points to the silhouette of a head dominating the foreground of a work called The Prisoner. Behind the silhouette are iron bars, and behind those is a prisoner facing us, whose head seems to have been flayed to reveal the throbbing orange cranium beneath. "That's where my mind was at." The ink drawings were to be the final portraits of a weird menagerie of archetypal figures – among them banker, butler, alcoholic, and an odd French guy called Jean Louis, who cropped up in various improbable guises including that of a French maid – that Condo had culled from his imagination and worked on for a quarter of a century. "It's the last hurrah of the pods," he says.

  • George Condo Artist George Condo Maps His Return
    Artist George Condo Maps His Return to Health in a New Show Of his new show at Skarstedt Gallery this month: “As an artist you’re able to take negatives and turn them into positives.” By Lane Florsheim | Nov. 26 2019 In late July, the artist George Condo went to the hospital with terrible chest pains. He was told he needed heart surgery immediately. “They said, ‘If you didn’t come in today, you would have been dead tonight,’” he says. After his surgery, Condo’s surgeon showed him black-and-white images of what his artery looked like before and after. “I said, ‘Oh wow, it was really bad,’” he remembers. “He said, ‘Yeah, you would have had a heart attack.’” Condo took the scans home. For his recovery in August, he went to the Hamptons, where he watched TV, played Scrabble with his two daughters and worked on a series of drawings. His larger-scale paintings, which require a ladder, were out of the question. “Then, eventually, I kind of felt perfectly fine,” he says. The drawings he completed during that period of rest are on view in a new exhibit of his work this month in Manhattan. Though the show is titled simply George Condo: Paintings & Works on Paper, it tells the story of a complex year for the artist. Condo, 61, made all of the 25 works in the new show while also working on a 13-foot tall sculpture covered in 24-karat gold leaf, currently on view at Lincoln Center Plaza. When he got back to New York City in September, Condo didn’t have enough new work to fill a show.

In the early 1980’s the artist moved to New York where he collaborated with members of Andy Warhol’s Factory, such as Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring, and leaders of the Beat Generation, including William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg. His work, primarily paintings and some sculptural pieces, is housed in permanent collections of major museums worldwide including the Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim. Condo was honored as one of the United States’ premier contemporary artists with an Academy Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1999 and the Francis J. Greenberger Award in 2005. Condo was even the subject of a documentary released in 2000, “Condo Painting” directed by John McNaughton. George Condo is a self-proclaimed member of “Kitsch Art,” a sect of postmodernism that blurred the distinction between kitsch and high art in the 1980’s. Yet his work also seems scratch the surface of surrealism and Dadaism, allowing room for varied interpretations and conceptual connotations.
