Podcast appearances and mentions of Cecily Brown

It's MIAMI art fair week - we are ready for Art Basel, Untitled, NADA and more! We meet legendary art collecting family THE RUBELL'S!!!! Mera, Don and Jason!!!Don and Mera Rubell started collecting in 1965 while living in New York, acquiring their first work after a studio visit and paying on a modest weekly installment plan. The Rubells grew their collection by looking at art, talking with artists, and trusting their instincts. Their son, Jason Rubell, joined them in 1982 in building the collection, extending the multigenerational family passion for discovering, engaging, and supporting many of today's most compelling artists. The Rubells moved to Miami in 1992, and together with Jason and their daughter, Jennifer, began developing hotels and an art foundation and museum to house and publicly exhibit their expanding art collection.Since the Rubells' first acquisition, they've amassed one of the most significant and far-ranging collections of contemporary art in the world, encompassing over 7,700 works by more than 1,000 artists—and still growing. The collection is further distinguished by the diversity and geographic distribution of artists represented within it, and the depth of its holdings of works by seminal artists.The Rubells are drawn to emerging and underrecognized artists. They were among the first to acquire work by now-renowned contemporary artists, including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Cecily Brown, Keith Haring, Rashid Johnson, Hayv Kahraman, Jeff Koons, William Kentridge, Yoshitomo Nara, Cindy Sherman, Yayoi Kusama, Kara Walker, Purvis Young, and Mickalene Thomas, among many others. They continue to vigorously collect by visiting studios, art spaces, fairs, galleries, biennials, and museums, and by talking with artists, curators, and gallerists. If the work grabs them, they dig deeper—conducting intensive research before they welcome it into their collection.Jason Rubell started collecting contemporary art in 1983 at the age of 14, acquiring the painting Immigrants from then-emerging George Condo via Pat Hearn Gallery. At first supporting his collecting habit by stringing tennis rackets, Jason's early support of artists grew into a life-defining passion. Jason's studies at Duke and experience with organizing and touring the exhibition of his collection were instrumental in the Rubell family's decision to open their collection to the public, ensuring it would serve as a broader resource for audiences to encounter contemporary art and the ideas it explores. In 1993, the Rubells' passion became their mission when they opened the Rubell Family Collection/Contemporary Art Foundation in Miami's Wynwood neighborhood. The establishment of the RFC pioneered a new model for sharing private collections with the public and spurred the development of Wynwood as one of the leading art and design districts in the U.S. After nearly 30 years, the collection relocated to the Allapattah neighborhood in December 2019 and was renamed the Rubell Museum to emphasize its public mission and expanded access for audiences. The opening of the Rubell Museum DC in October 2022 further deepened the family's commitment to sharing their collection as a public resource, providing opportunities for residents and visitors of the nation's capital to engage with today's most compelling artists.Follow: @RubellMuseum on Instagram.Vanessa Raw: This is How the Light Gets In, the Rubell's Artist in Residence for 2024 opens on December 2nd.Visit: http://rubellmuseum.org/ Hosted on Acast.

A conversation with the iconic Jeffrey Deitch regarding an exciting 2022 exhibition at Deitch's Los Angeles gallery that has been synthesized into a new book titled "Luncheons on the Grass," available now from Rizzoli Electa. The innovative exhibition revisited and reimagined Édouard Manet's seminal work, Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe, a painting that shocked the 1863 Parisian art scene and is often heralded as the first modern painting. Our conversation explores how Deitch convinced over thirty of today's most acclaimed painters (including Cecily Brown, Jeff Koons and Christina Quarles) to respond to Manet's painting by creating works that dialogue with this historic piece, each bringing contemporary perspectives to themes of modernism, realism, and societal depiction. The result not only reconsiders Manet's impact on modern art but also examines the intersections of historical reverence and contemporary creativity. Jeffrey and I are also joined for the conversation by Viola Angiolini, Director of Research and Curatorial Projects at Jeffrey Deitch Gallery.https://www.rizzoliusa.com/book/9780847899876/https://deitch.com/los-angeles/exhibitions/luncheon-on-the-grass

Today Chad is joined by Buzz Patterson, retired Air Force lieutenant colonel and best-selling author, to get his take on some of the week's top stories and his thoughts on the current state of the country. Detailing some of his early work in the Clinton White House, Buzz discusses what it was like carrying the nuclear football and shares some insight into Bill and Hillary Clinton. Chad and Buzz talk about the White House cocaine-gate scandal, and he gives his opinion of who the baggie belonged to. Hint: it was Hunter's. Buzz talks about the danger of America potentially sending missile systems to Ukraine and assesses the seemingly active attempt to destroy the nation by the Biden administration. As a former Air Force vet, Buzz breaks down the missing F-35 story and explains what likely happened. Was the plane actually hacked by an outside entity? Buzz explains why that would be a major problem for American security. Speaking of the American empire, Buzz and Chad talk about what can be done to save the country. Buzz's answer may surprise you.

English artist Lindsay Mullen spends her time either in her studio on the island of Menorca or in Washington, DC. A lifelong artist, Lindsay was born in Hertfordshire and graduated with a B.A. from West Surrey College of Art and Design. An opportunity in her teens led her to the Spanish island of Menorca where she worked diligently and in relative isolation to establish herself as an artist. Painting on hemp sacks and surviving on a diet of chicken wings were just some of the sacrifices she made in those early days. This clearly paid off and before long she was exhibiting around the island and enjoying her first commissions. Her career took off and she has not looked back as her work has garnered international awards with showings in solo and collective exhibitions around the world. She says: ‘I focus on creating work that both captures my eye and enters my soul, so that a palpable inspiration has no choice but to emerge and be shared with others.' Lindsay's next exhibition is in Ca n'Oliver, Menorca entitled "Menorca and the light of the North” from Hartung-Bergman” curated by Carles Jiménez, opening April 22 through September 24.What does Lindsay listen to when she's painting?"Music - Keith Jarrett, London Grammar, 80's Radio - BBC Sounds, radio plays.

Annemieke Bosman praat met  Stefan van Raaij, directeur van het Cobra Museum in Amstelveen, over de tentoonstelling Grenzeloos en vrij die daar te zien is.  Met de tentoonstelling Grenzeloos en vrij. Van Appel tot Van Gogh brengt het Cobra Museum voor Moderne Kunst Amstelveen 120 kunstwerken van bekende en minder bekende kunstenaars samen in verrassende combinaties. Aanleiding is de 75e verjaardag van de internationale Cobra-beweging (1948 – 1951). Met een parade aan namen wordt in Grenzeloos en vrij de Cobra kunst in relatie tot (tussen) voorlopers, tijdgenoten en hedendaagse kunstenaars getoond. Door de kunstwerken naast of dichtbij elkaar te plaatsen ontstaan nieuwe dwarsverbanden en perspectieven op de betekenis van Cobra kunst. Cobra kunstenaars zoals Appel, Constant, Alechinsky, Corneille, Jorn, Götz, Van der Gaag, worden samen getoond met voorlopers zoals Van Gogh, Picasso, Beckmann, Schwitters, Klee, Miró, Munch. Daarnaast zijn werken te zien van tijdgenoten zoals Pollock, Katzuo Shiraga, Dubuffet en Willem de Kooning en meer recente kunstenaars zoals Baselitz, A.R. Penck, Martha Jungwirth, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Tal R, Cecily Brown en Eva Räder. 

The new definition of painterly success just might be having Elisabeth Condon describe your painting. It's truly that satisfying. Elisabeth is back on the pod to describe a painting, and it's a fascinating one: "Untitled" 1968-69 from the Edge Painting series by Sam Francis. Come along as Elisabeth takes us not only through the painting itself, but also through Sam Francis' life and influences: namely that of his beloved Japan. The concept of "ma" or the potential of emptiness, Asian ink painting, and Francis' unique anti-New York gentle lyricism all factor in to make this talk a riveting deep dive into this Californian-born, second-generation Abstract Expressionist artist.

Episode 50 is a conversation with artist Audrey Phillips. We learn more about Audrey and her beautiful acrylic paintings and her incredible journey through life that included both dark and light, tragedy and triumph. Audrey received her Bachelor of Fine Art from the University of Florida. Audrey has exhibited in solo and group shows in Florida, where she currently lives, Georgia, North Carolina, Minnesota, Michigan, California, Texas, New Mexico and New York. Her work is can be found in corporate and private collection in the United States and internationally. In 2019, 54 of her paintings were acquired by the University of Tampa for permanent installation in their newly renovated Southard Family Building. Audrey states, "My art practice started quite by accident—a collision of tragedy and creative healing. In 2000, I started painting faces that were somewhat representational but mostly raw, darkly expressive and strangely abstracted. This work sprang forth from a deep loss. In my search to heal, my newly formed art practice became a visual healing process. After this ten-year journey, I started painting abstractly. This abstract work allowed me to tap into the internal energy I had learned to access through my yoga and meditation practice that also started in the year 2000," in an interview for Arts on Douglas. Audrey's paintings are expressive, bold and large, with beautiful colors and gestural mark making. Nature is her primary springboard and she often works in diptychs or two panels that symbolize the duality of life, the yin and yang, the light and dark. Her influences of artists are Joan Mitchell, Cecily Brown, and Willem de Kooning. Audrey teaches week-long workshops throughout the country. Her teaching style includes sharing her lifestyle with students. This includes the practice of meditation combined with full sessions of painting. The students work large in spacious studios in venues that have those types of facilities. This year she is teaching at Beverly Todd's Santa Fe Artist Getaway (you can hear more about this venue in our episode 46 with Beverly) and Paint Space NOLA in New Orleans. She accepts students after doing a portfolio review to make sure it is a good fit for intermediate to advanced painters. Check out the show notes for information on enrolling. Many thanks to Audrey for sharing her story with us. This episode is a powerful testament to the power of art in regards to healing and uplifting your life. Here are links with more information on Audrey.

Cecily Brown has been a prominent painter for more than a quarter century. But starting in the last 5 years, her importance in the art market has grown substantially. With the opening of Death and the Maid at New York's Metropolitan Museum, it seemed like a good time to discuss her market. The Met show is one of only a handful of museum shows that Brown has participated in including Boston's MFA in 2006 and the Louisiana Museum in 2018. To get a better sense of how collectors view and value her work, I spoke to Hugo Nathan, one of the principles of art advisory Beaumont Nathan. As an art dealer and collector himself, Hugo has worked on a broad range of art from the Renaissance to Contemporary. His firm have advised a number of clients on the market for Cecily Brown's work. We spoke early on the morning that the Met show opened

Sara Friedlander, a deputy Chairman at Christie's who styles herself and “art merchant,” joins LiveArt's George O'Dell to discuss the first New York sales of 2023. The auction calendar is anchored by the May & November sales in New York but the rest of the year is a free-for-all of sales. On a year-over-year basis, the New York Contemporary art sales were up in dollar volume due to presence of two single-owner sales but down only slightly on a like-for-like basis. Sara points out that she has never seen the primary market so strong which makes her wonder who are the new names that auctioneers should be bringing to market. Meanwhile, on the secondary market, sales are heavily dependent upon estimates. Bidders are reacting to perceived value. George and Sara talk about the market for Cecily Brown, Albert Oehlen, Shara Hughes, Leon Polk Smith, Bob Thompson and together they plot a Richard Estes show to spearhead the return of Photorealism to market favor.

In questo audio il prezioso incontro con Danilo Eccher storico curatore ed Elisabetta Erba geologa. L'intervista è in Contemporaneamente di Mariantonietta Firmani, il podcast pensato per Artribune.In Contemporaneamente podcast trovate incontri tematici con autorevoli interpreti del contemporaneo tra arte e scienza, letteratura, storia, filosofia, architettura, cinema e molto altro. Per approfondire questioni auliche ma anche cogenti e futuribili. Dialoghi straniati per accedere a nuove letture e possibili consapevolezze dei meccanismi correnti: tra locale e globale, tra individuo e società, tra pensiero maschile e pensiero femminile, per costruire una visione ampia, profonda ed oggettiva della realtà. Danilo Eccer ed Elisabetta Erba ci parlano di arte e terra, musei e geologia, tra storia e futuro, di passione per il mare che nasce dalle montagne. I musei contemporanei sono grandi fabbriche di cultura. Il pianeta ha già registrato eccessi di CO2 nell'atmosfera, nelle ere precedenti con surriscaldamenti di oltre 5°C gradi (15°C al Polo Nord. Con l'aumento dell'interazione tra arte e altre discipline la curatela diventa fondamentale per la messa in scena dell'opera. Gli oceani ricoprono il 70% del pianeta, dall'inizio della rivoluzione industriale hanno assorbito il 40% della CO2; prima dell'uomo erano i vulcani che introducevano CO2 nell'atmosfera.

For the fifteenth episode of "Reading the Art World," host Megan Fox Kelly speaks with Courtney J. Martin, co-author of “Cecily Brown," published by Phaidon. This 2020 book is the first major monograph about Cecily Brown, one of the most influential painters of our time. In it, Courtney offers an insightful interview with the artist, and co-authors Jason Rosenfeld and Francine Prose provide illuminating essays. Courtney J. Martin is the Paul Mellon Director of the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven. Previously, she was the Deputy Director and Chief Curator at the Dia Art Foundation, she taught at Brown University and the University of California, Berkeley and worked at the Ford Foundation. She received a doctorate from Yale University.  Courtney sits on the boards of the Chinati Foundation, the Center for Curatorial Leadership, Hauser & Wirth Institute and the Henry Moore Foundation. Cecily Brown is a British-born, New York-based artist who rose to prominence in the late 1990s. She established her unique voice within the art sphere by investigating the sensual qualities of oil paint and challenging the conventions of abstraction and figuration. Through a range of references to old master paintings, Abstract Expressionism, and popular culture, Brown's symbolic language, exuberant brushwork, rich palette, intense energy, and embrace of the erotic have redefined some of painting's historical canons."Reading the Art World" is a live interview and podcast series with leading art world authors hosted by art advisor Megan Fox Kelly. The conversations explore timely subjects in the world of art, design, architecture, artists and the art market, and are an opportunity to engage further with the minds behind these insightful new publications.

Hi, I'm Bianca Vinther, the creator of The Pointless Artist. This is a conversation I had with Lindsay McCulloch, American artist and professor of visual arts based in Maryland, USA on Saturday, 28 May 2022. Lindsay comes from a family of artists, where creativity was part of everyday life. In 2005, she received her Master of Fine Arts in painting from Boston University. Nine years later she became Associate Professor of Visual Arts at the Anne Arundel Community College in Maryland. In this podcast episode, Lidsay explains the meaning of change, the tension between being a mother and an artist, her artistic development, and the stages of her creative process. She also talks about the female artists who influenced her art, like Elizabeth Murray and Cecily Brown, her sources of inspiration and creativity, and how she deals with artist block. Lindsay's art, as well as her work as a teacher and, more recently, as a protester for women's rights, is a powerful example to emulate – an example of empathy, patience, and strength, of resilience and faith in the power of good and togetherness. Listen to this podcast episode with Lindsay McCulloch and get lots of hope, light, and inspiration for your art! Via The Pointless Artist Blog, I support the creative energy of life and the artists who contribute to transforming this world into a freer, kinder, more inclusive, caring, transparent, and compassionate place to live. I firmly believe in the passion for art, the importance of sharing knowledge and experiences, and the power of personal stories to bring us together. www.thepointlessartist.com

What you'll learn in this episode: The difference between art jewelry and jewelry by artists Why more collectors and jewelry enthusiasts are starting to appreciate artist jewelry How Elisabetta helps visual artists bring their first pieces of jewelry to life Why artist jewelry is a smart investment About Elisabetta Cipriani Elisabetta Cipriani invites world leading contemporary artists to create aesthetically innovative and socially relevant wearable art projects. Since the opening of her namesake gallery in 2009, Elisabetta's pioneering vision has redefined the boundaries between jewelry and fine art, capturing the imaginations of artists and collectors across the globe. The gallery has collaborated with over 50 critically acclaimed painters and sculptors, including Ai Weiwei, Chiharu Shiota, Giulio Paolini, Ilya & Emilia Kabakov, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Enrico Castellani, Erwin Wurm, Giorgio Vigna, Jannis Kounellis, Rebecca Horn, and Pedro Cabrita Reis, to name a few. The gallery's projects can be found in museums and private collections across the globe, including Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris; Museum of Art and Design, New York; World Jewelry Museum, Seoul; and The State Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg. A number of Elisabetta Cipriani's jewelry collaborations are featured in From Picasso to Koons: The Artist as Jeweler, the international touring exhibition of artist jewelry curated by Diane Venet. Elisabetta Cipriani participates in leading art and design fairs, including Design Miami and Design Basel, TEFAF Maastricht, Artissima Turin, MiArt Milan, PAD London, and PAD Monaco. Additional Resources: Instagram Website Photos: Available on TheJewelryJourney.com Transcript: For a long time, jewelry created by visual artists was considered lesser than artwork made in the medium the artist was known for (compare the price of Man Ray jewelry to the price of Man Ray photographs, for example). But in recent years, both jewelry and art collectors have realized the significance of artist jewelry, due in no small part to Elisabetta Cipriani. Through her gallery, Elisabetta Cipriani Wearable Art, Elisabetta collaborates with leading visual artists to create limited edition artist-made jewels. She joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about what inspired her to combine fine art and jewelry; the process she uses to work with artists; and why jewels by artists should be a part of any jewelry lover's collection. Read the episode transcript here.    Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. Here at the Jewelry Journey, we're about all things jewelry. With that in mind, I wanted to let you know about an upcoming jewelry conference, which is “Beyond Boundaries: Jewelry of the Americas.” It's sponsored by the Association for the Study of Jewelry and Related Arts, or, as it's otherwise known, ASJRA. The conference takes place virtually on Saturday and Sunday May 21 and May 22, which is around the corner. For details on the program and the speakers, go to www.jewelryconference.com. Non-members are welcome. I have to say that I attended this conference in person for several years, and it's one of my favorite conferences. It's a real treat to be able to sit in your pajamas or in comfies in your living room and listen to some extraordinary speakers. So, check it out. Register at www.jewelryconference.com. See you there.   This is a two-part Jewelry Journey podcast. Please make sure you subscribe so you can hear part two as soon as it comes out later this week. Today, my guest is Elisabetta Cipriani, founder and owner of the gallery Elisabetta Cipriani Wearable Art, a gallery of limited-edition jewels created by artists. The gallery has collaborated with more than 50 well-known painters and sculptors since its opening in 2009. We'll hear more about Elisabetta's jewelry journey today. Elisabetta, welcome to the program.    Elisabetta: Hello, Sharon. Thank you for having me.   Sharon: So glad to have you. Tell us about your jewelry journey. Did you study jewelry as a young girl? Did you like glittery things? Tell us about that.   Elisabetta: Basically, I didn't study jewelry when I was in university. I never studied jewelry; I only had a big passion for traditional jewelry. I'm Italian. I come from Rome, and there is this Italian tradition of having beautiful jewelry. Especially in the 80s, women were going out with parures, with the necklaces and bracelets. They were taken out from the safe for special occasions. I have memories of me as a young girl on my mother's bed with her jewelry on the bed, dressing up for various events and weddings. I was touching them and looking at them from the back and the front, and I was trying them on and asking her all the time, “Please, can I have this when I'm older?” I was playing with them while she was selecting the right piece for the right event. For me, when she went out, it was the best moment. It wasn't like playing with a doll. It was like, “Oh my god, beautiful jewelry. I can have a look at them again.” I've always had this passion.    I have a background in jewelry in terms of how to make a jewel. I didn't study the history of jewelry. Of course, now I know about it because I read and studied a little bit. I'm not an expert; I know what I'm talking about, but I never had the occasion to study in depth in university, for example. When I finished school, I wanted to study jewelry, to create jewelry, and my father said, “There's no way you can do that. You need to do a proper degree.” I took a gap year, and I remember that I did an evening course on pearls and diamonds. It was really advanced, and I didn't understand much of it, but I ended up doing history of arts, which is now all connected.   After university, I worked in a museum of contemporary art in Rome called MACRO. It's a state museum for contemporary art in Rome. I worked there for three years as co-curator. I had the best experience of my life because I met the most important artists the museum was inviting to have their exhibitions there. How old was I? I was 23 years old, and for me, it was natural to talk to a famous visual artist like Tom Wesselmann, who passed away, or Cecily Brown, Vik Muniz, Tony Cragg. For me, it was natural to have a conversation with them and go to their artists' studio with the director of the museum to select the artworks for the exhibition. I learned how to move in the world of art with the artists. I was really comfortable being with them, but deep in my heart, I always had this love for jewelry. I was wearing jewelry from my mother and grandmother that they were giving to me as gifts. I always kept it as a passion.   I moved to London in 2005, and I worked for an art gallery. I left Rome because I wanted to grow and be independent and learn the art market, how you sell an art piece, rather than being a curator. Then I learned about jewelry by Picasso and Man Ray, and I thought it was an interesting topic to follow and learn about. Then there was Louisa Guinness. I used to work for the husband of Louisa Guinness, Ben Brown. At that time, I think it was two years since she had started her business, and she had one kid after another. She asked me to bring the cabinet of jewelry to the art fairs, so I was bringing this cabinet with Picasso jewelry and Kapoor jewelry. It was 17 years ago. I remember there was an interest in artist jewelry, but not as much as today. I was selling the pieces. People were seeing them more as jewelry back then, sculptures by artists. It's weird how things have changed. The perception is that what you are buying or owning is not a jewel, but it's an art piece you can wear by a visual artist.    I worked for Ben Brown for three years, and then I got married. When I was pregnant, I said, “That's it. I'm not going to continue working for the gallery. I want to work independently. I'm going to open my own business.” I started an artist jewelry gallery. I invited the artists I met at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Rome and asked them to work with me. At the beginning, they were very supportive. Most of them said yes. One didn't say yes, but I'm still in touch and asking him if he would like to do a project with me. I've been waiting 12 years and he hasn't come back to me yet. He didn't say no. They say they are busy with their art works, with their museum shows. An artist needs to be free mentally and needs the time to sit down and work small. You might think it's straightforward for an artist to do a wearable art piece, but it's not something they typically do. My first collaboration was with Tatsuo Miyajima, a Japanese artist. He works with LED. He's a very established sculptor from Japan.   Sharon: What is his name? I'm not familiar with him.    Elisabetta: Tatsuo Miyajima. If you want, I can send you his email.   Sharon: That would be great. So, he's very established. What was his reaction when you talked with him?   Elisabetta: This was in 2009. He was surprised at the time that someone would propose something so unusual. He had never done a jewel, so it was also a challenge for him, and he agreed. He sent me an LED from Japan. Basically, it's a digit with numbers that count from one to nine or nine to one. I have it here. It represents the continuation of life in Buddhism. It's never zero. This LED has been mounted inside a ring with three colors: rose gold, white gold and yellow gold. It's a very complicated ring to put together. When you close the ring, the ring turns on and you see this LED that counts from one to nine. Whoever buys the ring can choose the counting speed, from one second to five minutes, because you decide how long you want your life to move on.    Actually, a museum purchased this piece for the museum collection. The museum is called the Slager Museum in Hertogenbosch. They did a beautiful exhibit called “Private Passion” many, many years ago, and they bought the Miyajima ring and a few other pieces. It was my first museum purchase.   Sharon: How exciting.   Elisabetta: It was very exciting. My first project was with Tatsuo Miyajima, then Atelier Van Lieshout, then Tom Sachs. I only had three pieces, and the museum contacted me to go to Holland and bring this jewelry, these small pieces to show them. I was very pleased with it.   Sharon: Wow! You're just starting your own business.   Elisabetta: When I look back to how I started and with the resources I had, it's incredible what I've done in the past 12 years. I should say to myself more often that I should be proud of myself. Normally I don't say those things. I always move forward, and I never stop and say, “Well done, Elisabetta.” Sometimes I need to stop and say it.   I'm inside my husband's gallery, Sprovieri. We are in Mayfair. When I started in 2009, my husband only had a piece of the gallery. Ten years ago, he expanded and got another space which is linked to this one. When I started, he gave me a shelf from his library. So, I had this shelf and then he said, “O.K., you can take this space.” It was a shelf like this. I think it was light blue or grey blue; I don't remember which color. I put my three little jewels on it. So, I had this shelf with these three jewels, and I remember Diane Venet, the most important artist jewelry collector in the world, coming to visit me to see my new projects. I was young; everything was new. She bought the Miyajima ring and the Atelier Van Lieshout piece. That's how I started from my little shelf.    Then I took a small space from the gallery. In 2019, when I celebrated the 10-year anniversary of my business, I took this space here, which is very nice. It's always inside my husband's gallery, where he sells art. It's very nice, because when people come to see the exhibition of an artist, then they come here and discover the most intimate aspect of an artist, which is a jewel.   Sharon: How did Diane Venet know that you even existed there? Were you advertising? How did she find out about you if you only had three pieces?   Elisabetta: When I was working from Ben Brown and bringing this jewelry to the fairs, I spoke to her a few times. I went to see her exhibitions because I was starting to become passionate about artist jewelry. That's how I learned about artist jewelry. So, I went to her. I think her first exhibition was in—I don't remember the city in France where she first showed her collection, but she brought this exhibition to the MAD in New York. I kept in touch with her, and she came to visit me. After a few years, when she opened her exhibition at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York, she invited me to talk with her and Didier and Marc Vendome in this huge stadium about my projects.    In any case, I continued inviting artists to work exclusively for me worldwide. I had a very successful project with Giuseppe Pennone; he's an artist from the arte povera movement. He created this beautiful necklace called “Feuille,” which means leaf, made in bronze and pure gold. The necklace is basically bronze where it's rolled into a leaf, and the artist's hand is imprinted on the leaf because his work is about the connection between nature and the person and the human. It was a very successful piece, and I brought it to my first fair in Paris.    The fair was in 2011 or 2012. It was my first fair. At the fairs, there's always a prize for the best piece in the fair or the best designer. At that fair, there was a prize for the best piece. I was not even thinking about the prize. For me, I was like, “Oh my god, it's my first fair. How do I do this?” I was panicking. Then all of a sudden, the director of the fair came to my booth and said, “Congratulations, you've won the prize.” I'm like, “Which prize?” I won the prize for the best piece in the fair with the Feuille necklace. The prize was basically that the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris would purchase the best object of the fair and put it in the collection of the museum.   Sharon: That's a high bar to pass. You surpassed it.    Elisabetta: Exactly. There were dealers there who had 40 years of experience. I had just arrived in their world. That piece sold out in less than six months, which is quite unusual for an artist jewel, especially back then. Now, things are quicker. I remember when I started, I had an inquiry once a month. Now, I've got 10 inquiries a day for prices from people all around the world. I don't know how they know about me because I'm so niche in field. I think this is the power of the virtual world, that people browse online and discover. Maybe it's actually thanks to Diane Venet, because she's bringing her collection around the world and people are even more knowledgeable about the subject matter. They might see pieces that come from me, so maybe it's because they've seen it in Diane's exhibition.

Cecily Brown, eine zeitgenössische Malerin (geb. 1969 in London), hat die Ölmalerei mit kontrolliert unkontrollierter Unruhe und Farbigkeit neu belebt. Bei ihr steht man oft riesigen Formaten gegenüber, in denen unzählige kleine Geschichten zu entdecken sind. Aus der Ferne betrachtet spielt sich etwas anderes ab als in direkter Leinwandnähe. Diese Offenheit, Rätselhaftigkeit, aber auch der explosive Malstil (offiziell: neuer Expressionismus) machen die Attraktivität der Bilder aus. Die Meinungen darüber sind durchaus zwiespältig. „Leere Ästhetik ohne Inhalt“ - so kann man es sehen, wenn das Glas halb leer ist. Es gibt einige Beispiele erotischer Darstellungen in der Kunstgeschichte. Courbet hat sich bei mir diesbezüglich am deutlichsten eingeprägt. Cecily Brown wird jedoch unterstellt, ihre teilweise sehr gewagten Bilder seien ein Element ihrer Marketingstrategie. Welche Rolle spielt das? Ihr Werk ist so vielfältig wie jedes einzelne Bild. Vielleicht zieht Dich die unbeschreibliche Lebendigkeit ihrer Malerei genauso in den Bann wie mich. Achtung, es wird laut. „Roody Hooster“ - dazu konnte ich keine sinnvolle deutsche Übersetzung ergoogeln. Womöglich verbirgt sich dahinter etwas Unanständiges. So what!

Kutteln & Zitronen so heißt ein Werk von Cecily Brown das uns Nathalie Neubauer in der Albertina in Wien vorstellt. Dabei beleuchtet auch das Schaffen und die Arbeitsweise der britischen Künstlern. https://www.albertina.at/en/exhibitions/andy-warhol-to-cecily-brown/ Besucht uns auf Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/immuseum.podcast

Emily: Okay. Cecily's on the other side and I was like, where is she? We're standing in front of Cecily Brown's piece on the second floor in stairwell B. Emmanuel: I refer it to like, as a mess, but like in a really good way, like it's a really nice mess on this wall in stair B. Emily: The more you spend with it, the more little details you see I'm going to want to use, I always use the word orgy. Am I allowed to use that word on this? Emmanuel: Massive orgy of naked bodies, like a literal orgy. Emily: You'll notice different bodies kind of intertwined and inter tangled in each other. Predominantly these male bodies, nude, kind of interacting at interesting angles and some not the most flattering. Emmanuel: Whenever I talk about that piece after the Torah has had its Gables. I talk about John Berger's the Ways of Seeing. He's a big art critic, and one of the things he speaks about is the difference between nudity and nakedness. The difference between nudity and nakedness is that nakedness is like a sort of like unawareness that people are observing you while you're without clothing. And nudity is the sort of this choice of wanting to be without clothes. So like, I like to imagine that honestly, Cecily Brown was going for that sort of nudity. The figures that she's painting, they are acknowledging that they're nude, they're enjoying their nakedness. They're enjoying being observed, essentially. Emily: She's really interested in previous art movements like abstract expressionism and kind of the idea that those are always such male centered practices and kind of movements within the art history canon. And so she's really kind of interested in taking that kind of male gaze and that aggression that's in them and kind of flipping it on its head. So it's kind of her opportunity to take a chance to say to these abstract expressionists artists that anything they can do, she can do better and kind of using them and their bodies themselves as the stepping stone to do that. Kind of using them as her own subject matter and treating them how they've treated women in the past.

Als Berlin noch geteilt war, pilgerten Kunstsammler von nah und fern ins Rheinland, genauer gesagt nach Köln. Dann fiel die Mauer, immer mehr Kunstschaffende zogen in die alte, neue Hauptstadt. Und die beiden Rheinländer Bruno Brunnet und Nicole Hackert eröffneten eine Galerie, die in den Folgejahren die erblühende Berliner Kunstszene entscheidend mitprägen sollte: Contemporary Fine Arts – oder auch kurz CFA – präsentierte die wildesten Künstler und schmiss die legendärsten Parties der Stadt. Heute, fast dreißig Jahre später, ist die Galerie eine feste Berliner Institution, die Weltstars wie Cecily Brown, Raymond Pettibon, Georg Baselitz oder Sarah Lucas vertritt. In unserer Folge 28 wollen wir deshalb mit Nicole Hackert sprechen, bevor wir uns in eine vierwöchige Sommerpause verabschieden. In der Sie und wir endlich wieder Kunst in Museen oder Galerien anschauen können, und das, so häufig (und beinahe schon wieder: so normal ) wie wir wollen. Wie sagen deshalb ein besonders fröhliches: Herzlich Willkommen, liebe Nicole Hackert!

Jeffrey Deitch is that rare type of creative who has a keen understanding of business: he holds an undergraduate degree in art history from Wesleyan University, and an MBA from Harvard Business School. Further blurring boundaries, he launched his career with a lethal one-two punch working at an art gallery before joining Citibank, where he co-managed the art advisory division. Before long, he rose to prominence as an art advisor and private dealer, while honing his own interests in street art and punk rock bands. Widely considered to be the first person who bought a work by Jean-Michel Basquiat (he was also the first to write about him in a 1980 essay for Art in America), Deitch continued to evidence prescience in identifying burgeoning talent, as he helped mint the careers of Jeff Koons, Kehinde Wiley, and Cecily Brown in his eponymous gallery space in New York. After conquering the East Coast art world, Deitch decamped for California, serving (an admittedly rocky term) as the director of MOCA in Los Angeles before returning to New York to run his own gallery, where he remains today. On the penultimate episode of The Art Angle for 2020, Deitch talks everything from punk rock to pandemic struggles.

In episode 45 of The Great Women Artists Podcast, Katy Hessel interviews one of the greatest painters to ever live, the inimitable CECILY BROWN!!!!!   [This episode is brought to you by Alighieri jewellery: www.alighieri.co.uk | use the code TGWA at checkout for 10% off!] I am SO EXCITED to release this episode which chronicles the UK-born, US-based Brown's incredible painterly career from the 1990s–present day! With her work steeped in art history, referencing the likes of Rubens, to Goya to Bacon and de Kooning, Cecily Brown is known for her all-encompassing, small-to-colossal scale paintings that portray the medium in a continual state of flux, constantly blurring the lines between abstraction and figuration, truth and fiction, liquid and solid.   Always ALIVE with erotic energy, witnessing a Cecily Brown in the flesh is like seeing four-hundred years worth of painting unfold before your eyes. Every corner and inch of the canvas is activated, frenzied and fractured so intensely that you can’t help but project ideas around desire, life, and death, with the painting’s momentous fleshy and battle-like strokes and tones.  Born in the UK in the late 1960s, Cecily Brown was granted a garage to paint by the esteemed British painter (and former GWA Podcast guest) Maggi Hambling, before going on to study at London’s Slade School of Fine Art. And in 1994, after a stint in America two years before, she relocated to New York City, where she has lived ever since, continuing the legacy of the renowned New York School artists.  The subject of solo exhibitions at major institutions around the world, including the MFA Boston, Hirshhorn in Washington, Modern Art Oxford, and my favourite Louisiana Museum in Denmark, as well as countless shows at galleries including Thomas Dane and Paula Cooper, where I have been lucky enough to witness her work, Cecily is considered one of the most influential painters alive right now.  And NOW she has recently opened a staggeringly brilliant exhibition at Blenheim Palace here in England, where she has conceived an entirely new body of work that responds to the Palace’s history, through hunting and battle scenes, as well as a brilliant commentary on the state of Britain right now and the romanticised but complex nature of British society.  FURTHER LINKS! https://www.blenheimpalace.com/whats-on/events/cecily-brown-art-exhibition/ All the Nightmares Came Today, 2012: https://www.artspace.com/cecily_brown/all-the-nightmares-came-today Current exhibition at Paula Cooper Gallery: https://www.paulacoopergallery.com/exhibitions/cecily-brown-2020-10-15/selected-works Louisiana show: https://louisiana.master.re-cph.dk/en/exhibition/cecily-brown https://channel.louisiana.dk/video/cecily-brown-totally-unaware Follow us: Katy Hessel: @thegreatwomenartists / @katy.hessel Sound editing by Amber Miller (@amber_m.iller) Artwork by @thisisaliceskinner Music by Ben Wetherfield https://www.thegreatwomenartists.com/

Artfully is BACK after a hiatus and despite a summer dominated by Covid-19, there are still some juicy art world controversies to feast upon. We take on the controversial job losses at the Tate galleries, the drama at the Musee d'Orsay after they refused entry to a woman in a low-cut dress, and the new Mayfair gallery opened by Charles Saatchi's daughter, Phoebe Saatchi Yates. We also share some good news from Christie's, who held an auction of works by Black artists where collectors had to pledge not to flip the works. Finally, from the sublime to the ridiculous: is Art Attack's Neil Buchanan actually Banksy? Elsewhere we select our top tips for exhibitions this Autumn including Edmund de Waal at the British Museum and a girl power gang round-up of Cecily Brown, Chantal Joffe, Katherine Bernhardt, Jadé Fadojutimi and Flora Yukhnovich. Our Artist Focus this episode is British artist Sarah Lucas. Born out of a boozy, party-hard YBA art scene, her profile has continued to rise to meteoric heights. She represented her country at the Venice Biennale in 2015, and nabbed her first American museum retrospective in 2018. We discuss sex, body parts, and those famous fried eggs.

I absolutely love the work of artist Carly Glovinski. From her use of color to her exploration of pattern, Carly's work plays with the idea of the decorative and utilitarian. Her work investigates patterns and organizing systems found in everyday life with reverence for the history and behaviors contained in objects and places.   In this episode, we discuss living an authentic life and following our passions, from our work in the studio to DIY projects and restoring old homes.   Carly received her BFA in painting from Boston University in 2003 and her work is represented by Morgan Lehman Gallery, NYC. Recent solo exhibitions include Currents 8: Carly Glovinski at the Colby Museum of Art, Waterville, Maine, How to Build a Fire at Morgan Lehman Gallery, NYC, Tread Lightly at iMOCA, Indianapolis, and Scout Land at Carroll and Sons, Boston, MA.   Her work has been exhibited at numerous institutions including the deCordova Museum and Sculpture Park, Lincoln, MA, Center for Maine Contemporary Art, Rockland, Portland Museum of Art, Portland, ME, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Jacksonville,FL, The Visual Art Center of New Jersey, the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art, and Boston Center for the Arts. She was the 2016 recipient of the Piscataqua Region Artist Advancement Grant from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, and an Artist's Resource Trust (A.R.T.) grant from the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation and has recently completed residencies at the Studios at MASS MoCA, North Adams, MA and Teton ArtLab in Jackson, Wyoming. Carly lives and works in seacoast New Hampshire.   LINKS New York Times Article -Can a Woman Who is an Artist Ever Just Be an Artist: The Lives of Two Painters, Celia Pual and Cecily Brown tell very different stories about what it takes to thrive in a medium historically dominated by men https://nyti.ms/33qQWtE   http://www.carlyglovinski.com/ http://sachikoakiyama.com/ https://www.sunlighttax.com/moneybootcamp https://www.ilikeyourworkpodcast.com/submitwork

There's a scene in the new remake of A Star is Born that's been rattling around in my head since I saw the film. It's the scene where Bradley Cooper's character Jackson is talking to Lady Gaga's character Ally about self-expression and finding her voice. Jackson says, “Look, talent comes everywhere, but having something to say and a way to say it so that people listen to it, that's a whole other bag. And unless you get out there and you try to do it, you'll never know. That's just the truth. And if there's one reason that we're supposed to be here it's to say something so that people want to hear it. So you gotta grab it. And you don't apologize or worry about why they're listening or how long they're gonna be listening for. You just tell them what you want to say.”Subscribe: iTunes | Pocket Casts | Overcast | RSS8 Artists on Painting is a terrific video which features interviews with artists including Michael Simpson, Cecily Brown, and David Hockney talking about painting and making art, whatever that means.Painter David Salle talks about joining abstraction and figuration and language and not really knowing where a painting will end up when he begins.Photographer Troy Colby explores the idea of what a father should be in his long term photo essay, The Fragility of FatherhoodMusic in this episode: The Wrong Way (Jahzzar) / CC BY-SA 4.0

In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, we speak with Robert Diament, director of Counter Editions, who produces prints and multiples by leading contemporary artists, including John Baldessari, Katherine Bernhardt, Cecily Brown, Peter Doig, Tracey Emin, Laura Owens, Christopher Wool, Jonas Wood and many others. First, Robert reveals that most artists create prints in order to make their art accessible to their admirers at an affordable price point. Given the increased demand for prints, Robert tells us if it has become more competitive for printmakers to persuade artists to make prints with them. Also, he touches on the emergence of flippers in the prints market and how Counter Editions tries to sell artworks to genuine collectors. Further, Robert takes us behind the curtain and explains how they collaborate with artists on deciding every aspect of a print, such as the subject matter, medium, size and edition size. Lastly, Robert shares why he thinks prints are a great way for new collectors to start building their collections.

Printed Matter Live Benefit Auction Event: March 9, 6-8:30 pm Robert Rauschenberg Project Space 455 West 19th St, New York www.paddle8.com/auctions/printedmatter Printed Matter, Inc, the New York-based non-profit organization committed to the dissemination and appreciation of publications made by artists, will host a Benefit Auction and Selling Exhibition at the Rauschenberg Foundation Project Space to help mitigate damage caused by Hurricane Sandy. As a result of the storm, Printed Matter experienced six feet of flooding to its basement storage and lost upwards of 9,000 books, hundreds of artworks and equipment. Printed Matter's Archive, which has been collected since the organization's founding in 1976 and serves as an important record of its history and the field of artists books as a whole, was also severely damaged. Moreover, the damage sustained by Sandy has made it clear that Printed Matter needs to undertake an urgent capacity-building effort to establish a durable foundation for its mission and services into the future. This is the first fundraising initiative of this scale to be undertaken by the organization in many years, and will feature more than 120 works generously donated from artists and supporters of Printed Matter. The Sandy Relief Benefit for Printed Matter will be held at the Rauschenberg Project Space in Chelsea and will run from February 28 through March 9th. The Benefit has two components: a selling exhibition of rare historical publications and other donated works and an Auction of donated artworks. A special preview and reception will be held February 28th, 6-8 pm, to mark the unveiling of all 120 works and to thank the participating artists and donors. The opening will feature a solo performance by cellist Julia Kent (Antony and the Johnsons), followed by a shared DJ set from Lizzi Bougatsos (Gang Gang Dance) & Kyp Malone (TV on the Radio). The event is free and open to the public. All works will then be available for viewing at the Rauschenberg Project Space March 1 – March 9, gallery hours. All Selling Exhibition works may be purchased during this period and Auction works will be available for bidding online. Bids can be made at www.paddle8.com/auctions/printedmatter. A live Benefit Auction Event will take place March 9, 6-8:30 pm with approximately 20 selected works to be auctioned in a live format. Bidding on these works will commence at 7pm sharp, while silent bids can be made on all other Auction works. Note, highest online bids will be transferred to the room. For absentee bidding of works, please contact Keith Gray (Printed Matter) at 212 925 0325 or keith@printedmatter.org. The evening will feature a performance by Alex Waterman on solo cello with electronics. Admission is $150 and tickets may be pre-purchased here. There will be only limited capacity. Highlighted auction works include an oversize ektacolor photograph from Richard Prince, a woven canvas piece from Tauba Auerbach, an acrylic and newsprint work from Rirkrit Tiravanija, a large-scale Canopy painting from Fredrik Værslev, a rare dye transfer print from Zoe Leonard, a light box by Alfredo Jaar, a book painting by Paul Chan, a carbon on paper work from Frances Stark, a seven-panel plexi-work with spraypainted newsprint from Kerstin Brätsch, a C-print from Hans Haacke, a firefly drawing from Philippe Parreno, a mixed-media NASA wall-piece from Tom Sachs, a unique print from Rachel Harrison, a vintage xerox poem from Carl Andre, an encyclopedia set of hand-made books from Josh Smith, a photograph from Klara Liden, a table-top sculpture from Carol Bove, Ed Ruscha’s Rooftops Portfolio, as well as original works on canvas and linen by Cecily Brown, Cheyney Thompson, Dan Colen, Adam McEwen, RH Quaytman, and many others. These Auction works can be previewed at: www.paddle8.com/auctions/printedmatter In addition to auction works, a vitrine-based exhibition of rare books, artworks and ephemera are available for viewing and purchase.

Among the works available are books and artworks from Marcel Duchamp, Willem de Kooning, Alfred Steiglitz, Joseph Beuys, Brigid Berlin (Polk), as well as a Claes Oldenburg sculpture, a rare William Burroughs manuscript, and the Anthology Film Archive Portfolio (1982). Additional artists’ books have been generously donated by the Sol LeWitt Estate.

British-born painter Cecily Brown talks to Nicholas Penny, Director of the National Gallery, London

Paint Made Flesh examines the ways in which European and American painters have used oil paint and the human body to convey enduring human vulnerabilities, among them anxieties about desire, appearance, illness, aging, war, and death. In the tradition of great figure painting stretching back to Rembrandt and Titian, the 34 artists in the exhibition, working in the years since World War II, exploit oil paint's visual and tactile properties to mirror those of the body, while exploring the body's capacity to reflect the soul. Drawn from private and public collections and arranged by chronology and nationality, the 43 paintings in the exhibition reflect a wide range of styles. Strong colors and vigorous brushwork associated with German expressionism give crude life to figures by artists ranging from the San Francisco Bay area painters to a younger generation, including Markus Lüpertz and Susan Rothenberg. Candid depictions of flesh by British painters Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud suggest psychological pain at the margins of society, while paint as skin betrays the inner feelings of Jenny Saville's swollen females. Other artists represented include Karel Appel, Cecily Brown, Francesco Clemente, John Currin, Eric Fischl, Willem de Kooning Leon Kossoff, David Park, Julian Schnabel, and Pablo Picasso. Paint Made Flesh is organized by the Frist Center for the Visual Arts in Nashville, Tennessee. This exhibition is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and Humanities.
