  • Play and No Work? a 'Ludistory' of the Curatorial As Transitional Object at the Early
    All Play and No Work? A ‘Ludistory’ of the Curatorial as Transitional Object at the Early ICA Ben Cranfield Tate Papers no.22 Using the idea of play to animate fragments from the archive of the Institute of Contemporary Arts, this paper draws upon notions of ‘ludistory’ and the ‘transitional object’ to argue that play is not just the opposite of adult work, but may instead be understood as a radical act of contemporary and contingent searching. It is impossible to examine changes in culture and its meaning in the post-war period without encountering the idea of play as an ideal mode and level of experience. From the publication in English of historian Johan Huizinga’s Homo Ludens in 1949 to the appearance of writer Richard Neville’s Play Power in 1970, play was used to signify an enduring and repressed part of human life that had the power to unite and oppose, nurture and destroy in equal measure.1 Play, as related by Huizinga to freedom, non- instrumentality and irrationality, resonated with the surrealist roots of the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) in London and its attendant interest in the pre-conscious and unconscious.2 Although Huizinga and Neville did not believe play to be the exclusive preserve of childhood, a concern for child development and for the role of play in childhood grew in the post-war period. As historian Roy Kozlovsky has argued, the idea of play as an intrinsic and vital part of child development and as something that could be enhanced through policy making was enshrined within the 1959 Declaration of the

  • LAWRENCE ALLOWAY Pedagogy, Practice, and the Recognition of Audience, 1948-1959
    LAWRENCE ALLOWAY Pedagogy, Practice, and the Recognition of Audience, 1948-1959 In the annals of art history, and within canonical accounts of the Independent Group (IG), Lawrence Alloway's importance as a writer and art critic is generally attributed to two achievements: his role in identifying the emergence of pop art and his conceptualization of and advocacy for cultural pluralism under the banner of a "popular-art-fine-art continuum:' While the phrase "cultural continuum" first appeared in print in 1955 in an article by Alloway's close friend and collaborator the artist John McHale, Alloway himself had introduced it the year before during a lecture called "The Human Image" in one of the IG's sessions titled ''.Aesthetic Problems of Contemporary Art:' 1 Using Francis Bacon's synthesis of imagery from both fine art and pop art (by which Alloway meant popular culture) sources as evidence that a "fine art-popular art continuum now eXists;' Alloway continued to develop and refine his thinking about the nature and condition of this continuum in three subsequent teXts: "The Arts and the Mass Media" (1958), "The Long Front of Culture" (1959), and "Notes on Abstract Art and the Mass Media" (1960). In 1957, in a professionally early and strikingly confident account of his own aesthetic interests and motivations, Alloway highlighted two particular factors that led to the overlapping of his "consumption of popular art (industrialized, mass produced)" with his "consumption of fine art (unique, luXurious):' 3 First, for people of his generation who grew up interested in the visual arts, popular forms of mass media (newspapers, magazines, cinema, television) were part of everyday living rather than something eXceptional.

  • The Most Important Works of Art of the Twentieth Century
    This PDF is a selection from a published volume from the National Bureau of Economic Research Volume Title: Conceptual Revolutions in Twentieth-Century Art Volume Author/Editor: David W. Galenson Volume Publisher: Cambridge University Press Volume ISBN: 978-0-521-11232-1 Volume URL: http://www.nber.org/books/gale08-1 Publication Date: October 2009 Title: The Most Important Works of Art of the Twentieth Century Author: David W. Galenson URL: http://www.nber.org/chapters/c5786 Chapter 3: The Most Important Works of Art of the Twentieth Century Introduction Quality in art is not just a matter of private experience. There is a consensus of taste. Clement Greenberg1 Important works of art embody important innovations. The most important works of art are those that announce very important innovations. There is considerable interest in identifying the most important artists, and their most important works, not only among those who study art professionally, but also among a wider public. The distinguished art historian Meyer Schapiro recognized that this is due in large part to the market value of works of art: “The great interest in painting and sculpture (versus poetry) arises precisely from its unique character as art that produces expensive, rare, and speculative commodities.”2 Schapiro’s insight suggests one means of identifying the most important artists, through analysis of prices at public sales.3 This strategy is less useful in identifying the most important individual works of art, however, for these rarely, if ever, come to market. An alternative is to survey the judgments of art experts. One way to do this is by analyzing textbooks.

  • Gagosian and Deitch Team up to Explore Pop and Minimalism— and Surprise, Surprise, It’S Still a Bunch of White Guys
    Art World (https://news.artnet.com/art-world) Gagosian and Deitch Team Up to Explore Pop and Minimalism— and Surprise, Surprise, It’s Still a Bunch of White Guys "Pop Minimalism Minimalist Pop" at the Moore Building is a disappointment. Sarah Cascone (https://news.artnet.com/about/sarah-cascone-25), December 6, 2018 "Pop Minimalism Minimalist Pop" at the Moore Building (2018), installation view. Photo ©artists and estates, by Emily Hodes, courtesy of Gagosian. It has become an annual tradition for super-dealers Larry Gagosian and Jeffrey Deitch to join forces during Art Basel Miami Beach, hosting an exhibition in the Design District’s Moore Building. This year, the duo’s effort is “Pop Minimalism Minimalist Pop (https://gagosian.com/news/2018/11/15/pop-minimalism-exhibition-deitch-moore-building-miami/),” a reexamination of those two powerful American art currents that could have been timely, given that re-explorations of forgotten sides of the 1960s and ’70s have become a museum and market (https://news.artnet.com/market/abmb-market-report-rediscoveries-1173188) phenomenon of late. Yet it became almost immediately apparent upon walking into the Moore Building that this year’s show was not some kind of radical rethinking of history. It is just the contrary, as evidenced by the fact that this show is dominated by the expected club of canonical men, almost all of them white: Damien Hirst (http://www.artnet.com/artists/damien-hirst/), Donald Judd (http://www.artnet.com/artists/donald-judd/), Jeff Koons (http://www.artnet.com/artists/jeff-koons/), Roy Lichtenstein (http://www.artnet.com/artists/roy-lichtenstein/), Andy Warhol (http://www.artnet.com/artists/andy-warhol/), and Richard Prince (http://www.artnet.com/artists/richard-prince/), to name just a few.

  • Cecil Beaton, Richard Hamilton and the Queer, Transatlantic Origins of Pop Art
    Beaton and Hamilton, p. 1 JVC resubmission: Cecil Beaton, Richard Hamilton and the Queer, Transatlantic origins of Pop Art Abstract Significant aspects of American pop art are now understood as participating in the queer visual culture of New York in the 1960s. This article suggests something similar can be said of the British origins of pop art not only at the time of but also prior to the work of the Independent Group in post-war London. The interwar practices of collage of the celebrity photographer Cecil Beaton prefigured those of Richard Hamilton in that they displayed a distinctively British interpretation of male muscularity and female glamour in the United States. (Homo)eroticism in products of American popular culture such as advertising fascinated not simply Beaton but also a number of members of the Independent Group including Hamilton. The origins of pop art should, therefore, be situated in relation not only to American consumer culture but also to the ways in which that culture appeared, from certain British viewpoints, to be queerly intriguing.

In the past, the major commissioners were the Church, State, and wealthy individuals. Today, a variety of entities act as commissioners, including art museums, private or public art organizations, foundations, corporations, commercial galleries, and private individuals. These groups have increasingly formed partnerships with each other, collaborating on raising funds for realizing a diverse range of new works. The term, commissioning, also includes this transformation of the nature of the commissioning models, encompassing the process of commissioning within the term. Among many commissioning models, this research focuses on examining the commissioning practiced by Tate and Artangel in London, in an aim to discover the reason behind London's reputation today as one of the major cities of contemporary art throughout the world.

  • Department of Art History Annual Newsletter
    DEPARTMENT OF ART HISTORY ANNUAL NEWSLETTER FEBRUARY 2019 Cover image: Roy Lichtenstein Sandwich and Soda, 1964 Screenprint Permanent Collection, Zimmerli Art Museum Rutgers University–New Brunswick Before he became celebrated as a Pop Art painter, printmaker, and sculptor, Roy Lichtenstein taught art and design from 1960 to 1962 at Douglass College, (at the time, the women’s college at Rutgers). After his first solo exhibition at New York’s Leo Castelli Gallery in 1962, Lichtenstein gave up teaching to concentrate on creating art. Screenprinted in patriotic red and blue on a clear plastic sheet (which permits the white backing to show through), Sandwich and Soda features an ordinary American lunch. In this print, Lichtenstein used the stylistic elements of flat, stenciled signage and generic advertising design. This work is now regarded a landmark of early Pop Art printmaking. It was Lichtenstein’s innovative prints, exemplified by Sandwich and Soda, that helped to promote the fusion of high and low art forms to an international audience of art viewers and collectors.
