In particular, we delve into his support of a current exhibition at The Getty titled "First Came a Friendship: Sidney B. Felsen and the Artists at Gemini G.E.L."For over five decades, Gemini G.E.L Co-Founder Sidney B. Felsen has documented the vibrant life and creative processes at Gemini through his love of photography. This has resulted in an unmatched historical record of some of the most influential artists of the last sixty years, including Robert Rauschenberg, Claes Oldenburg, Ellsworth Kelly, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Frank Gehry and Julie Mehretu. Felsen's intimate photographs which capture the collaborations and friendships that have shaped Gemini's legacy, are on view at The Getty through July 7.https://www.getty.edu/research/exhibitions_events/exhibitions/sidney_b_felsen/index.htmlhttps://www.jordanschnitzer.org/https://schnitzercare.org/https://www.geminigel.com/

Over the past 3 years, ‘notions of cycle' have played an increased role in the development of my paintings; and I'm curious how the avant-garde succeeds and fails within popular culture. Currently, I'm interested in how the landscape has been depicted throughout American culture. Whether it's Thomas Cole and Albert Bierstadt of the Hudson River School, Georgia O'Keeffe's monumental work at the Art Institute of Chicago, or an Instagram post of a sunset—each conveys a romanticized view of our world. The most recent paintings are an amalgamation of experiences that I've had within the American landscape; with each painting flowing freely between representation and abstraction."

Prudence Peiffer's first book, The Slip, is the never-before-told story of an obscure little street at the lower tip of Manhattan and the remarkable artists who got their start there. For just over a decade, from 1956 to 1967, a cluster of dilapidated former sail-making warehouses became the quiet epicenter of the art world. Coenties Slip, a dead-end street near the water, was home to a circle of wildly talented artists that included Robert Indiana, Ellsworth Kelly, Agnes Martin, James Rosenquist, Lenore Tawney, Delphine Seyrig, and Jack Youngerman. As friends and inspirations to one another, they created a unique community of unbridled creative expression and experimentation, and the works they made at the Slip would go on to change the course of American art. Peiffer pays homage to these artists and the impact their work had on the direction of late 20th-century art and film. This remarkable biography questions the very concept of a “group” or “movement,” as it spotlights the Slip's eclectic mix of gender and sexual orientation, abstraction and Pop, experimental film, painting, and sculpture, assemblage and textile works. Despite Coenties Slip's obscurity, the entire history of Manhattan was inscribed into its cobblestones—it was one of the first streets and central markets of the new colony, built by enslaved people, with revolutionary meetings at the tavern just down Pearl Street; named by Herman Melville in Moby Dick and site of the boom and bust of the city's maritime industry; and, in the artists' own time, a development battleground for people like Jane Jacobs and Robert Moses. I caught up with Peiffer, in the Fall of 2023 where she unpacked this group portrait, one of my favorite books of the year. Listen to hear Prudence Peiffer discuss the history of Coenties Slip.

There's barely an oilcloth, mug or ironing board cover that hasn't been embellished with a nostalgic floral print from Cath Kidston. Because of the brand's ubiquity, it's easy to forget quite how influential it was when it appeared in the 1990s.What I love about Cath is that she's living proof you can be a wildly successful entrepreneur whilst also being a kind, gentle soul. Although her name's still above the door, she hasn't been involved with the Cath Kidston business for many years, so I was intrigued to find out what that feels like. She's now set up a bodycare brand called C. Atherley, which makes all of its products using scented geraniums. Despite her love of flowers, life hasn't always been a bed of David Austin roses for Cath and she talks very honestly about the personal grief she's suffered through her life. She has a great eye for interiors and we had this conversation at her kitchen table in London, with a surprisingly modern backdrop of Danish wood flooring and an Ellsworth Kelly artwork. Cath was very generous with her time and emotions and I'm really happy with how this episode has turned out. I hope you enjoy it.This episode was recorded in person at Cath Kidston's West London home.For more: Visit The Modern House website to see images of the spaces discussed in this episodeCheck out Cath Kidston's latest venture, C.AtherleyProduction: Hannah PhillipsEditing: Oscar CrawfordGraphic Design: Tom YoungMusic: FatherThis episode was sponsored by Vitsoe.

Interviews by Brainard Carey

Mark Yang's colorful, incongruous arrays of anonymous limbs entangled together investigate the nuances of human interaction through a critical lens of art history. Morphing and distorting idealized figures into conglomerates of body parts, Yang's forms exhibit a sculptural quality, the result of the artist's thoughtful rendering of plane, dimension, and space. Reducing, dismantling, and reassembling their limbs almost to the point of abstraction with a variety of painterly techniques, Yang creates characteristically mysterious compositions that are not immediately forthcoming with their narrative plot. With a comprehensive set of art historical references, from the Baroque compositions of Peter Paul Rubens to the postwar abstractions of Ellsworth Kelly, Yang's anatomical abstractions have been praised for their complication of gender norms. Yang's ambiguous bodily arrangements rarely depict his figures' faces, prioritizing their bodies over their identities. Resisting homogenizing classifications, Yang calls attention to shifting cultural conceptions of masculinity between South Korea, where Yang was born, and the United States, where he was raised.

In the summer of 1944, a handpicked group of young GIs—including such future luminaries such as Bill Blass, Ellsworth Kelly, Arthur Singer, Victor Dowd, Art Kane, and Jack Masey—landed in France to conduct a secret mission. From Normandy to the Rhine, the 1,100 men of the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops, known as the Ghost Army, conjured up phony convoys, phantom divisions, and make-believe headquarters to fool the enemy about the strength and location of American units. Every move they made was top secret and their story was hushed up for decades after the war's end.The unit's official US Army history noted that “its complement was more theatri¬cal than military,” and “It was like a traveling road show that went up and down the front lines imperson¬ating the real fighting outfits.” They pulled off twenty-one differ¬ent deceptions and are credited with saving thousands of lives through stagecraft and sleight of hand. They threw themselves into their impersonations, sometimes setting up phony command posts and masquerading as generals. They frequently put themselves in danger, suffering casualties as a consequence. After holding Patton's line along the Moselle, they barely escaped capture by the Germans in the Battle of the Bulge, and in March 1945 they performed their most dazzling deception, misleading the Germans about where two American divi¬sions would cross the Rhine River.To explore the story of this forgotten subterfuge is today's guest, Rick Beyer, author of “The Ghost Army of World War II: How One Top-Secret Unit Deceived the Enemy with Inflatable Tanks, Sound Effects, and Other Audacious Fakery.” We look at how a traveling road show of artists wielding imagination, paint, and bravado saved thousands of American lives.

We meet artist Alexandria Tarver to discuss her current solo exhibition at Deli Gallery, New York. Tarver recontextualizes the traditional floral motif into a space between memory, idealization, and presence.Her process begins on a ritualistic evening walk around New York City. For Tarver, the night is a dynamic time oscillating between rest, dreams, and frenzy, often unleashing subconscious desires restrained during the day. It's a period when trouble happens, stars become visible, and the city, never at rest, mirrors the cycle akin to death. The variability of the city's nighttime sky, influenced by observation points, weather, and proximity to building lights, becomes a rich palette of colors, each night unique.On these walks the artist identifies potential subjects, often floral clusters, in an action akin to foraging. Tarver photographs the subject and then creates a preliminary composition in pencil on paper. The subject is finally rendered in oil on panel, employing techniques from various historical movements including post-impressionism, New England mid-century representationalism, and gestural abstraction. The primary layer, accompanied by lapis and cerulean blue ground, captures the electric color of twilight. The timeline varies, with some paintings taking weeks or even months. The vibrant blue of twilight oscillates against the flesh-tones of the central flower form—this blue sometimes deepening, sometimes shifting into an evening haze, sometimes sinking into purple-black depth, a depth halted by the ever-present electric glow of the skyline.Tarver finds profound meaning in the repetition and variations on a theme. As she explores the possibilities of painting, she grapples with the act of painting and its evolution over time and practice. The disciplined dedication to a subject or landscape, evident in artists like Maureen Gallace, Vija Celmins, and Jim Dine, is mirrored in Tarver's formal repetition, which becomes a grounding force that reflects the rhythm of day-to-day existence.In the paintings, flowers and markings are situated as acting figures within the particular, ever-variable, and intensely observed color field of the night sky as viewed from the concrete grounds of the city. Much like Ellsworth Kelly's plant drawings served as a device for him, the plant in Tarver's works acts as a stand-in, offering a guiding framework for her hand and a pathway to reflect on the long nights she has experienced. During a vulnerable period around 2013 and 2014, marked by the sickness and imminent mortality of Tarver's father, the practice of looking at flowers and creating paintings became a place of solace. This loyalty endures, providing a grounding force and a way to navigate through fear, pain, and sorrow.Alexandria Tarver (b. 1989) received a BFA from New York University in 2011. Recently her work has been included in group exhibitions at GRIMM Gallery, London (2023), Marinaro Gallery, NY (2023), Public Gallery, London (2022), UncleBrother, NY (2021), Arsenal Gallery, NY (2019), Et. Al. etc., San Francisco (2017), Danziger Gallery, NY (2016). Tarver also organized group shows Sentimental at Fitness Center for the Arts & Tactics in Brooklyn (2013) and #1 at The Hose in Brooklyn (2013). Tarver had her first solo exhibition with Deli Gallery in 2015.

Armed with truckloads of inflatable tanks, a massive collection of sound-effects records, and more than a few tricks up their sleeves, their job was to create a traveling road show of deception on the battlefields of Europe. The Ghost Army of World War II describes a perfect example of a little-known, highly imaginative, and daring maneuver that helped open the way for the final drive to Nazi Germany.

Episode No. 624 features curator Leigh Arnold and artist Sarah Crowner. Arnold is the curator of "Groundswell: Women of Land Art," a survey of artists who have worked in the land that revises ossified male-centric histories at the Nasher Sculpture Center, Dallas. The exhibition provides a broad overview of themes, interests, and artworks that women created beginning in the 'usual' land art era, the 1960s and 1970s, and updates our understanding of land art to include not only work made in the most rural reaches of North America, but also work made and installed in and around urban and suburban centers. The exhibition is on view through January 7, 2024. An excellent catalogue was published by the Nasher and DelMonico Books. Bookshop and Amazon offer it for about $55.

In the 1950s and 60s, Coenties Slip—an obscure street on the lower tip of Manhattan overlooking the East River—was home to some of the most iconic artists in history, and who would define American Art during their time there: Robert Indiana, Ellsworth Kelly, Agnes Martin, James Rosenquist, Delphine Seyrig, Lenore Tawney, and Jack Youngerman. As friends and inspirations to one another, these artists created a unique community for unbridled creative expression and experimentation. Prudence Peiffer is the kind of art historian who understands the importance of context and place, and her book, “The Slip: The New York City Street that Changed American Art Forever” provides the kind of rich context and human detail that textbooks could only dream of. She joined me to discuss the history of these artists, why we have such a hard time seeing artists as people, the friction between accessible artists and their inaccessible art, why watching Robert Indiana eat a mushroom for 39 minutes is actually totally beautiful, and what it means to authentically nudge art history towards inclusion. Prudence Peiffer is an art historian, writer, and editor, specializing in modern and contemporary art. She is Director of Content at MoMA, New York. She was a Senior Editor at Artforum magazine from 2012-2017, and Digital Content Director at David Zwirner in 2018.

The book is a group biography of a collection of luminous American artists including Agnes Martin, Ellsworth Kelly, Robert Indiana, James Rosenquist and Jack Youngerman, as well as his wife, the French actress and filmmaker, Delphine Seyrig. From the late 1950s to the middle of the 1960s, all of them happened to live in the same place: a collection of former sail-making warehouses on Coenties Slip, a dead end street in one of the oldest sections of Manhattan, right next to the river.

The book, out this week from Harper, is a group biography of seven artists -- Robert Indiana, Ellsworth Kelly, Agnes Martin, James Rosenquist, Delphine Seyrig, Lenore Tawney, and Jack Youngerman -- who worked on Coenties Slip in the 1950s and '60s. Coenties Slip was a street that overlooked the East River in lower Manhattan.

We meet Arthur Lambert from the Estate of artist LARRY STANTON (1947-1984).Larry Stanton was a Manhattan-based portrait artist whose work was championed by David Hockney, Henry Geldzahler, Ellsworth Kelly and others. He was a gay man who lived in Greenwich Village in New York City. Stanton produced a significant body of work—mostly drawings and paintings—in the four years leading up to his death from AIDS-related complications. Stanton drew portraits of the young men he slept with, as well as his friends and family. Many of Stanton's subjects were other gay men who died in the 80s from AIDS, and his brightly colored faces sketched quickly in crayon and colored pencil stand as an archive of lives lost. Lambert inherited all of Stanton's work after he died.We discuss the new book, edited by Italian theatre director Fabio Cherstich and Stanton's lover Arthur Lambert titled Larry Stanton: Think of Me When It Thunders. A tribute to yet another artist that died before they could leave their mark and is the definitive publication on Stanton's art and life to date. It includes 139 artworks, many of them portraits of the boys he met on nightly outings, as well as friends and family and a large collection of self- portraits, plus previously unpublished archive imagery of Stanton's circle. With texts by Cherstich, Lambert, Hockney, Geldzahler, and more, it's part artbook, part personal history, a round-up of the faces and names that formed Stanton's world.Since meeting Cherstich, the two have founded the Estate of Larry Stanton to bring renewed attention to Stanton's art. A collection was recently on display at Daniel Cooney Gallery, while Acne Studios has presented an exhibition of works and objects featuring Stanton's drawings in Milan, Seoul, Tokyo and New York in Feb 2023.‘The portraitist is an observer of people; his attitudes and feelings will be reflected in his observations, and usually the interest in personality makes one study faces. Other aspects of personality show in the body—posture, ways of moving, etc.—but most is revealed in the face. People make their own faces, and Larry knew this instinctively'.—David Hockney'Larry Stanton lived and painted in Manhattan until he died of AIDS at the age of 37. In Greenwich Village, he was a familiar sight, starting his practice every day in the early afternoon, drinking coffee at the same spot while balancing his sketchbook and drawing someone who caught his eye. His studio developed into a gathering place for artists and writers and they became subjects for his portraits.In the late '70s and early '80s, NYC was a magnet for boys who were escaping from homes and places where being gay was not accepted. Many of these boys became models for Larry. His work provides a telling picture of faces from a segment of NYC life which shortly disappeared with the advent of AIDS, an epidemic that annihilated so many of these faces, including Larry's own.'

Interviews by Brainard Carey

Eric Aho is an American artist whose paintings are equally concerned with the physical immensity and intimacy of the natural world as much as with an ever-evolving process of extract-ing spiritual experiences discovered within it. His energetic, gestural painting process uses lively marks and swaths of color to create richly applied paint that morphs between abstract expanses and the contours of nature. Aho's work develops primarily from his own experience and memories of the landscape. He references broadly and freely from the history of art—responding to a wide range of works from Poussin to Constable, and from Winslow Homer to Ellsworth Kelly to inform his compositions. Aho lives and works in Saxtons River, Vermont. Ice Out (Allagash), Oil on linen, 90x80, Photography © Rachel Portesi.

Twee grote, scherp gesneden vlakken, eentje blauw, de ander geel. Een soort rechtopstaand, gevouwen schilderij. Het is het beeld Yellow Blue van Ellsworth Kelly, deze zomer voor het eerst in Nederland te zien in de tuin van het Rijksmuseum. Wat maakt het zo fascinerend? Mag je een beeld als Yellow Blue zo maar overschilderen? En welke band had Amerikaan Kelly met Europa en Nederland in het bijzonder? Experts Carel Blotkamp en Ludo van Halem praten erover met Janine Abbring.Ellsworth Kelly (1923-2015) was een schilder, tekenaar en beeldhouwer uit de Verenigde Staten. In deze tuintentoonstelling staan zijn beelden centraal, die in nauw verband staan met zijn teken- en schilderwerk. Vaak gebruikte hij dezelfde vormen, op hetzelfde formaat, in zowel zijn schilderijen als zijn beelden.Kelly bestudeerde concrete voorwerpen en architectonische details in zijn directe omgeving. Hij ontleende omtrekken en vormen aan de werkelijkheid, die hij uitwerkte tot zuivere abstractie. Net als zijn schilderijen zijn de geschilderde oppervlakken van zijn beelden altijd neutraal, zonder een spoor van handmatige bewerking.Niet alleen Amerikaanse, ook Europese kunst beïnvloedde Kelly. Toen hij van 1948 tot 1954 in Frankrijk woonde, bezocht hij veel musea en ontmoette hij kunstenaars als Jean Arp en Constantin Brancusi. Door zijn liefdesrelatie met Geertjan Visser, broer van beeldhouwer Carel Visser, bezocht hij in die jaren ook Nederland waar hij kennismaakte met het werk van onder anderen Piet Mondriaan en Gerrit Rietveld.Ellsworth Kelly in de RijksmuseumtuinenDe tentoonstelling is samengesteld door gastconservator Alfred Pacquement in samenwerking met de Ellsworth Kelly Studio, Spencertown, New York.

“Martin Barré” au Centre Pompidou, Parisdu 14 octobre 2020 au 4 janvier 2021Extrait du communiqué de presse :Commissaire ;Michel Gauthier, conservateur au Musée national d'art moderne, collections contemporainesassisté de Rita Cusimano, attachée de conservation au Musée national d'art moderne.Considéré comme l'un des peintres abstraits les plus importants de la seconde moitié du 20e siècle, Martin Barré (1924-1993) fait l'objet d'une rétrospective-événement au Centre Pompidou. Cette exposition fait suite à celles consacrées aux artistes abstraits Pierre Soulages, Simon Hantaï, Jesus Rafaël Soto, François Morellet ou, dernièrement, Ellsworth Kelly.L'oeuvre de Martin Barré, radicale, est l'une des plus ambitieuses de son temps. La dernière grande exposition parisienne consacrée au peintre (1924-1993) fut celle du Jeu de Paume en 1993, essentiellement orientée sur sa production des années 1980. Elle faisait suite aux expositions des musées de Nantes, sa ville natale, en 1989, et du Musée d'art moderne de la ville de Paris en 1979.L'exposition — qui rassemble 66 peintures allant de 1955 à 1992, dont douze sur la vingtaine de toiles figurant dans la collection du Centre Pompidou — présente les grandes séquences de l'oeuvre et leur logique propre.Parallèlement, l'oeuvre L'Indissociable (1977-78), constituée de quatorze toiles, est montrée dans les espaces des collections, au niveau 4 du Musée.Elle n'a été exposée qu'une seule fois, en 1979, lors de l'exposition au Musée d'artmoderne de la ville de Paris.À partir du milieu des années 1950, Martin Barré inaugure la voie d'une abstraction singulière qui n'est ni informelle, ni géométrique. Sa peinture est vite remarquée comme l'une des plus ambitieuses du moment en cherchant davantage à révéler l'espace qu'à produire des formes. Dès 1958, le Guggenheim Museum le fait entrer dans sa collection. À cette fin, dès 1960, il fait de la ligne l'élément central de son langage. Tout d'abord tracée directement au tube sur la toile, puis à la bombe aérosol à partir de 1963 et jusqu'en 1967, la ligne possède une double vertu. Bien mieux qu'une forme, elle renvoie au geste qui l'a produite, qu'il s'agisse du mouvement de l'artiste ou de la force plus ou moins grande avec laquelle la peinture sort du tube ou de la bombe. À la différence d'une forme, la ligne n'occupe pas la surface du tableau, mais la transforme en espace sous l'effet de la trajectoire qu'elle y dessine.Après une interruption de quatre ans, occupée par un « épisode photo-conceptuel », Martin Barré reprend la peinture en 1972. Jusqu'en 1977, il réalise cinq séries avec lesquelles s'inverse la veine réductionniste des années 1960.Dans les années 1980, la figure, qu'avait éliminée la prédominance de la ligne durant les années 1960 et qui n'était qu'un effet collatéral du système dans les séries des années 1970, revient au premier plan. Avec la figure, c'est aussi la couleur qui s'affirme, et tout d'abord dans la série 80-81 aux subtiles couleurs pompéiennes, puis dans les ultimes séries, où sur des blancs très légèrement colorés, la figure et la couleur s'identifient l'une à l'autre. Durant cette période, la peinture de Martin Barré emprunte les voies de l'abstraction géométrique et réinstaure le traditionnel rapport figure/fond, qu'elle s'était efforcée de déjouer depuis toujours, sans toutefois engendrer une illusion de profondeur du champ pictural. Ces peintures s'offrent à une saisie immédiate et proposent une pure expérience de la beauté.Le catalogue de l'exposition est réalisé en partenariat avec le Mamco de Genève qui, en octobre 2019, a organisé une importante rétrospective Martin Barré.

In an age where we are inundated by a seemingly endless scroll of images and living within an economy that demands an inordinate amount of our attention, it feels necessary to ask what is the value of doing nothing? It is much more evident now than ever before that social media platforms are another tool for advertisers and corporations to learn our desires through likes and clicks encouraging us to stay glued to our screens and monitors. In 2017, Bay Area-based artist Jenny Odell gave a talk at the annual EYEO festival titled “How to do Nothing,” which resulted in a book of the same name. I have been following Odell’s artistic practice and writing since she was in graduate student pursuing her MFA at the San Francisco Art Institute. With a background in literature and having taught Internet Art at Stanford University for several years, her wealth of knowledge related to networked culture to free things advertised on Instagram that aren’t actually free, she has an uncanny ability to craft a stories emblematic of our digital age. In this episode, The Value of Doing Nothing, I spoke with Odell about exercises in attention, space for refusal, bonding over our experience of an Ellsworth Kelly painting at the SF MOMA, and much more. The irony of Odell’s call to action, being that of doing nothing, leads us to the multitude of ways that stepping back from time to time enables and affords us the opportunity to learn how to observe the world around us, actively listen, and fastidiously mind the details we might normally overlook. -- Subscribe to Art Practical on iTunes to catch PRNT SCRN as soon as it publishes!

Yve-Alain Bois, Professor of Art History, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton UniversitySat, October 13, 2018As a young enlisted soldier in World War II, Ellsworth Kelly spent a brief spell in Paris. After the war, following two frustrating years at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, he returned to the French capital for a longer period. Postwar Paris offered Kelly the chance to quickly master the pictorial language of modernism, and by age 26, he had already painted his first mature works. In June 1954, he moved back to the United States, embarking on a new stylistic mode involving curvaceous planes of solid color. During a 1964 trip to Paris for an exhibition of his recent works at the Galerie Maeght, Kelly realized the two suites of lithographs displayed in Line & Color: The Nature of Ellsworth Kelly. In this lecture, Bois explores how Kelly, enjoying this third visit to France, reconnected with aesthetic ideas from his long stay years earlier. Back in America, Kelly mined his sketchbooks from 1949–54 to momentarily say farewell to curves and return to polyptychs.Presented in conjunction with Line & Color: The Nature of Ellsworth Kelly.
