» Top 10 Shows (Someone other than me) Didn't See in New York
I can’t really relate because I didn’t see any shows in New York this year, but some of these are definitely on my list of things I was extra jealous of. Martin Kippenberger, not so much. Manzoni, very much.
Keith Haring installation at Tate Modern
Pop Life: Art in a Material World proposes a re-reading of one of the major legacies of Pop Art. The exhibition takes Andy Warhol’s notorious provocation that ‘good business is the best art’ as a starting point in reconsidering the legacy of Pop Art and the influence of the movement’s chief protagonist. Pop Life: Art in a Material World looks ahead to the various ways that artists since the 1980s have engaged with mass media and cultivated artistic personas creating their own signature ‘brands’. Among the artists represented are Tracey Emin, Keith Haring, Damien Hirst, Martin Kippenberger, Jeff Koons, Takashi Murakami and Richard Prince.
If you happen to be in London* it opens today. I would take a gander if I were in the neighborhood. But that’s just me.
*Lucky bastard.
The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum today announced with event partner Calvin Klein Collection a new art event premiering in 2009: Rob Pruitt’s The First Annual Art Awards at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in Association with White Columns, to be held on Thursday, October 29, 2009.
Artist Rob Pruitt, whose conceptual practice is rooted in a pop sensibility and a playful critique of art world structures, has conceived the event as a performance-based artwork which follows the format of a Hollywood awards ceremony. The Art Awards will be an annual celebration of select individuals, exhibitions, and projects that have made a significant impact on the field of contemporary art during the previous year, specifically, for this year’s ceremony, from January 2008 to June 2009.

» Saatchi to Sell in China and at Christie’s
LONDON—Charles Saatchi certainly knows how to read the fine print. Despite a widely publicized partnership that he forged with Phillips de Pury & Co. last year in which he agreed to sell predominantly through the auction house, the super-collector has now stated that he will sell some of his Chinese contemporary art in China and unload a handful of other works at Christie’s in London.
A spokesperson for Saatchi defended the moves, explaining that there are no Western auction houses competing in China and that the sales at Christie’s are designed to fulfill “obligations we already had.” Martin Kippenberger’s Paris Bar Berlin (1993) will be among the works to hit the block in London.
I’m a little sick of all this Martin Kippenberger hoopla.
Martin Kippenberger, drawings he would compose on hotel stationary while traveling.
I saw the Kippenberger retrospective at MOCA they had that, while I wasn’t blown away, I still think everyone should go and pay for admission at MOCA, because they need your money.
Well, MoMA is having the “first major U.S.” Kippenberg retrospective and unfortunately, I hear it’s a little too much bang for your buck. I didn’t say it*, but Charlie Finch did:
The ideal show from Kippy would consist of nothing but self-portraits, and these are included in a needlessly exhaustive retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art. These kind of comprehensive trunk shows, vomiting forth every piece and expert on a particular artist, have become a regular irritant at the new MoMA, bludgeoning the public with too much information. via…
As per usual, I agree with Mr. Finch on how some of these retrospectives can be a little bit of an overindulgence on the curator’s part. I can understand why a curator would feel compelled to show everyone pieces they haven’t seen and exposing them to new phases of the artist’s work that might not be as well known, but sometimes it’s better to pare down. Especially after the artist’s death, it almost would be better, and I feel more effective to be more selective about the important pieces. Also, when the audience aren’t over inundated with art and they can take away more from the experience and show. But that’s just me.
*I couldn’t say it, because I don’t live in NY and haven’t seen the show.
Art crush of the day: Martin Kippenberger Self-Portrait 1988
I saw this at MOCA the other day when I was at jury duty and while I didn’t like EVERY piece, this one really spoke to me. Before the show is over (1/5/09) you should definitely go and see it. Especially because MOCA needs your money right now. Poor kids. I wonder what Paul Schimmel is going to do? Where will he go? I mean, one would think that MOCA was on top of the world, what with the Murakami show and the Louise Bourgeois show now…That goes to show what I know about accounting. I guess LACMA isn’t the only one having a bad year.
So yesterday turned out pretty awesome. I kind of love jury duty. It starts out and I have to park here, which makes the morning just lovely b/c who doesn’t appreciate some nice architecture right away? I know I do. I assemble with my fellow jurors and get a nice seat in the corner. I proceed to read two books and on my lunchbreak, with my juror badge, I get to go to MOCA for free, see the Louise Bourgeois retrospective along with the Martin Kippenberger show. They never call my name and I get to go home at 4:15pm. Good day.
