“All of the great artists are there for a reason: because they rebelled in some way. They created a visual vocabulary that felt fresh and new, which excited people. So, the great artists are not built on sort of anthills of sand. They're built on things of substance and of meaning. Though this is not a sufficient condition to become an icon, it's a necessary but not sufficient condition. I think you have to have an interesting and vivid personality or personal narrative that makes you interesting for people to talk about and want to learn about. I think you also have to have a support network of galleries, curators, and collectors who are excited about your work and want to push it forward, not wanting it to be forgotten. Basquiat's visual vocabulary is distinctive and stands out relative to what was being done in the 1980s. That's the sort of strong hill on which his reputation is built. Basquiat benefited from being the first black artist of note who got pushed forward. As in many things, the first benefits.”Today, we're joined by someone uniquely positioned to unpack the art world's inner workings and to help us understand one of its most mythic figures — Jean-Michel Basquiat. Doug Woodham is the author of the new biography, Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Making of an Icon, the first major life study of Basquiat in over twenty-five years. Drawing on more than a hundred interviews — from family and friends to collectors and curators — Doug traces the rise, fall, and resurrection of an artist who redefined what it means to be a cultural icon. Before turning to writing, Doug served as President of the Americas for Christie's, one of the world's leading auction houses. That role gave him an insider's perspective on how value is created — and mythologized — in the modern art market. In this conversation, we'll explore not just the man behind the legend, but the powerful machinery that turned Jean-Michel Basquiat into one of the most recognized and commercially successful artists in the world.Episode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcast

“People today are so used to Basquiat's prices being extraordinarily high and rising that it's almost hard for people to understand that wasn't always the case. In the year he died, 1988, a terrific painting by Basquiat might have sold for $30,000. Relative to his other artistic peers, like a great Julian Schnabel painting that cost $800,000. After Basquiat died, some speculative capital entered his market, and his prices did pop, but in the early 1990s, his prices fell apart, and for much of the first half of the 1990s, his work was selling for 80% off what it had been selling before. Auction houses didn't want to include him in their auctions. There was a really good chance he was going to be remembered, but certainly not become a great star. Three key figures believed in him and proceeded to buy almost every available Basquiat in the first half of the 1990s. They were also just passionate believers in his work. But for those three people, it would have taken much longer for Basquiat to achieve acclaim, if ever.”Today, we're joined by someone uniquely positioned to unpack the art world's inner workings and to help us understand one of its most mythic figures — Jean-Michel Basquiat.

Stories about legacy often reveal more than the moments that made someone known.  In this episode of Celebrity Estates, author and advisor Doug Woodham joins the show to explore how Jean-Michel Basquiat's unexpected passing set off a chain of estate challenges tied to illiquid assets, sudden value changes and family decisions. Doug explains how the … Read More Read More

THE 27 CLUB The 27 Club is a popular culture phenomenon and urban legend referring to the unusual number of influential musicians, artists, and actors who have died at the age of 27, often due to drug or alcohol abuse, suicide, or accidents.  While scientific studies have debunked the idea of a statistical spike in musician deaths at this specific age, the perceived coincidence continues to capture public fascination. The myth gained prominence in the early 1970s with the deaths of several rock icons in a short period, and the narrative was reinforced after Kurt Cobain's death in 1994 and Amy Winehouse's in 2011.  Notable Members The most prominent figures associated with the 27 Club include: Robert Johnson (d. 1938): A pioneering Delta blues musician, he is considered the "first" member of the club and is part of the legend that he sold his soul to the devil for musical prowess. Brian Jones (d. 1969): The founding member and original leader of The Rolling Stones, he drowned in his swimming pool after consuming alcohol and drugs. Jimi Hendrix (d. 1970): The innovative and highly influential rock guitarist who died of a drug overdose involving barbiturates. Janis Joplin (d. 1970): A powerful blues and rock singer, she died of a heroin overdose in her hotel room. Jim Morrison (d. 1971): The enigmatic lead singer of The Doors, whose cause of death in Paris was officially ruled as heart failure, though drug use was suspected. Kurt Cobain (d. 1994): The frontman of the grunge band Nirvana, he died by a self-inflicted gunshot wound, with a high concentration of heroin in his system. Amy Winehouse (d. 2011): The British singer-songwriter known for her soulful voice, she died of accidental alcohol poisoning.  Other artists and actors sometimes included in the broader list are artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, Grateful Dead keyboardist Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, and actor Anton Yelchin.  Cultural Impact vs. Statistical Reality The enduring nature of the 27 Club is less about a true statistical anomaly and more about the power of storytelling and media reinforcement. The concentration of several highly famous deaths at the same age within a short timeframe (1969-1971) created a powerful narrative that stuck in the public consciousness.  While one study published in the British Medical Journal in 2011 found that young adult musicians have a higher death rate overall than the general population, it concluded there was no specific increased risk at age 27 compared to other young ages. However, the myth itself has led to increased visibility and cultural prominence for those who die at that age, perpetuating the idea.

Kim Baker has lived an iconic life. From her first photoshoot at 13 years old to being managed by Bethann Hardisson, she divided her time between breaking down barriers and partying with fashion legends. In this episode, Kim walks us through the beginning of her fashion career and how her mother instilled unshakeable confidence in her by detailing the beauty of Black history. Kim offers us a peek into the highs and lows of the modeling industry in the 1980s, namely, early sexual harassment and stringent expectations about her body and weight. Kim doesn't hold back when it comes to sharing her experiences with other iconic cultural figures, including meeting Jean Michel Basquiat and going into labor at Grace Jones' birthday party at Studio 54. Kim doesn't hold back when it comes to other difficult experiences, like how a whirlwind romance led to her facing a 65-year prison sentence. But Kim is no stranger to reinvention. She pioneered plus-size modeling in the 1990s, stepped behind the camera and became a makeup artist, and worked with Bobbi Brown for 14 years as one of her earliest employees. Kim's career leveled up again when she accepted an opportunity to do glam for Tom Cruise and Laurence Fishburne. She realized a prediction she made at the age of nine and launched her own makeup line, Glamazon Beauty, in 2016. Kim's transparency about her career, motherhood, and her faith illuminates why she has remained a staple in the beauty and fashion scene.

Hello Listeners!In this episode, we had the opportunity to have a conversation with KabeaushéKabeaushé (Kabochi Gitau) creates a captivating vortex of musical styles, merging influences from Nairobi to Berlin, from French Baroque music to hip-hop, from blaxploitation films to the artwork of Jean-Michel Basquiat. As a singer, rapper, and producer, he has been making rap and electronic music since 2015, collaborating with the Ugandan creative collective Nyege Nyege, and releasing the album The Coming Of Gaze on the Hakuna Kulala label (2023).

In this episode of LEGENDS: Podcast by All Day Vinyl, host Scott Dudelson sits down with multifaceted artist Lee Jaffe — close friend & former member of Bob Marley & The Wailers, producer of Peter Tosh's groundbreaking album "Legalize It" and renowned visual artist. Lee Jaffe takes us from his roots growing up in New York and the path that led him to a close friendship and working relationship with Bob Marley. Our chat dives into this incredible journey  — attending the premiere of Jimmy Cliff's "Harder They Come" with Chris Blackwell, traveling the USA and Jamaica with The Wailers, recording harmonica on Bob Marley's Natty Dread album, taking iconic photos of the reggae legends of the 1970's and witnessing firsthand the creative magic and global rise of Reggae. He shares rare, behind-the-scenes stories from the studio, on the stage and unforgettable moments on the road with Bob Marley & The Wailers.  Lee Jaffe also reveals how his close friendship with Marley and Tosh led to his role producing and taking the cover photo for Peter Tosh's legendary Legalize It album— and the unbelievable marijuana smuggling operation that helped fund the album's creation. Beyond reggae, he reflects on working with visionary artist Jean-Michel Basquiat and his latest book, Hit Me With Music: Roots, Rock, and Reggae, which captures these legendary moments through art and photography. Lee Jaffee is an incredible storyteller with incredible stories and I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it.

Christopher Wool talks to Ben Luke about his influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped their lives and work. Wool, who was born in Chicago in 1955, and lives between New York and Marfa, Texas, today, is a sophisticated and dextrous explorer of the act of making paintings and other forms of art. He emerged in a period in which painting's validity was being questioned amid the supremacy of conceptual and photographic practices in the avant-garde scene of New York in the late 1970s. And he has made light of that doubt in a cerebral practice in which he probes paint's capacity to reflect diverse material properties, processes and effects, its openness to chance events and slippages, and its ability to contain or convey meaning through words and image. Working in often overlapping series embodied by particular methods or tools, propositions and actions, his practice has been one of relentless curiosity, where his own output is consistently reevaluated and recast through the literal repurposing of existing imagery as the foundation of new works. Though best known for his paintings, Christopher has made photographs from the start of his career, and since the mid-2010s has developed a fertile seam of sculpture. His work across all these media is similarly agile, with the different strands in a seemingly endless evolving conversation on pictorial, material and spatial concerns. He discusses the seismic effect of experiencing the Art Ensemble of Chicago and an installation by Dan Flavin as a young person, seeing Jean-Michel Basquiat's first New York solo show with Dieter Roth, how Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye influenced one of his untitled text paintings, and eventually the title of his recent acclaimed New York and Marfa show, See Stop Run, and how jazz has been a consistent source of inspiration. He gives insight into his life in the studio and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate, “What is art for?”Christopher Wool, Gagosian, Grosvenor Hill, London, until 19 December; See Stop Run West Texas, Brite Building, Marfa, Texas, until at least May 2027.

On a tous en nous une image de New York, la nuit, qui nous marquée : les lumières de Manhattan qui se reflètent sur un East River tellement vaste qu'on ne sait plus si c'est encore un fleuve ou déjà la mer. Et le plus fascinant dans cette histoire, c'est que cette ville est tellement peuplée qu'elle ne dort jamais, qu'il s'y passe des choses folles, autant le jour que la nuit. Regardez cette jeune femme, très belle d'ailleurs, qui entre dans un immeuble du West Side à la fin du jour. Elle n'y habite pas, non, elle vient juste dire bonjour au concierge avec qui elle a sympathisé. Oh, elle a une idée en tête, oui, elle rêve d'y vivre. Il faut dire qu'avec son compagnon, elle déménage en moyenne une fois par an mais en cet automne 1978, même si Debbie Harry est loin d'être riche, son couple ne tire plus le diable par la queue comme cela a été le cas pendant des années. Dix ans qu'elle s'est installée à New York avec un petit boulot de secrétaire mais là, le troisième album de son groupe Blondie est bien parti pour être celui qui va faire d'eux des stars du rock. Et Debbie a eu raison de lui laisser régulièrement un pourboire pour l'avertir au cas où, elle va l'avoir son appart au dernier étage, qui était au départ, d'après le concierge, la buanderie de l'immeuble. La peinture des murs est out, il y a des fuites et des courants d'air, un toit en goudron qui va les faire cuire en été mais il y a une terrasse sur trois côtés et pour Debbie, ça veut dire tout. Imaginez la vue, de jour, comme de nuit.Enfin, la nuit, je veux dire, très tard, le point du jour quand ils rentrent de leur émission de télé. Car oui, Chris et Debbie font de la télé. Avec des artistes qui ont décidé de faire une émission barge et expérimentale tous les jeudis soirs. L'émission s'appelle TV Party et est dirigée par un réalisateur indépendant que Debbie et Chris connaissent bien, Amos Poe, sur une chaîne de télé locale qui loue son antenne à l'heure, à tous ceux qui veulent faire passer un message.Dans l'équipe, un artiste bien barré, qui compose des morceaux à l'image de ses graffitis, un certain Jean-Michel Basquiat. Jean-Michel est SDF, en galère, alors il demande à Debbie qui vient de présenter une séquence dans laquelle elle montre comment pogoter avec une béquille, de lui acheter un tableau. Et comme dans un film de Woody Allen, Chris et elle, viennent voir son œuvre monumentale et effrayante et la lui achètent pour 300 dollars. Une vraie fortune pour lui ! Le jeudi suivant, il dira aux autres de l'émission qu'il les a arnaqués. Oui, le Basquiat dont certaines toiles quittent aujourd'hui les salles de vente pour 100 millions de dollars. Quand on pense que le patron de la chaîne a refusé qu'il tague un mur du studio.Quant au type derrière la caméra, Freddy, dit Fab Five Freddy, c'est aussi un artiste hip hop. C'est quoi le Hip Hop ? Freddy emmène Debbie et Chris à leur premier concert de rap, on n'a pas encore entendu le Rapper's Delight des Sugarhill Gang que les deux artistes punks sont sous le charme, voilà pourquoi Debbie lui adressera un clin d'oeil dans le single qui fera d'elle la première rappeuse blanche.

Jean-Michel Basquiat is one of the most important artists of the 20th century and one of the top-selling artists in today's market, but his career and market trajectory weren't nearly as smooth as they might seem today. In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green speaks with Doug Woodham, author of Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Making of an Icon (out October 14, available now for pre-order). They discuss Basquiat's rise, the dramatic collapse of his market in the 1990s, and the extraordinary comeback that followed, including the crucial role played by a small group of influential collectors. Doug also shares insights on how curators reframed Basquiat's legacy, the unique way his estate has been managed, the impact of the auction houses, and the most misunderstood aspects of Basquiat's life, art, and market.

Ian and Jeff travel back to the vibrant art scene of early-80s New York City with a look at two related but very different films, Make Me Famous and Basquiat!The former is Brian Vincent's 2021 documentary about obscure expressionist portraitist Edward Brezinski, who lived in a crumbling 3rd Street slum; he spent his days painting and his nights hitting up gallery openings trying to drum up interest in his work (as well as scrounging for food and drink). He orbited the likes of Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, but never caught on to the "It" factor that carried many of his contemporaries to super-stardom and wealth.Julian Schnabel's 1996 drama, Basquiat, stars Jeffrey Wright as the titular, troubled painter of graffiti and challenging art pieces. The disjointed film chronicles his ascent to fame as a protege of Andy Warhol (David Bowie), and his descent into a drug-fueled early demise at the age of 27.As alums of Chicago's American Academy of Art, your enthusiastic hosts dive right into what makes both films essential viewing--despite flaws both minor and nigh insurmountable. Ian and Jeff talk about their affinity for films about artists; the thematic threads that weave through two works that differ in form but unite in defining a vivid time, place, and people; and lament the commoditization of creativity presaged in both Basquiat and Brezinski's stories.Support Kicking the Seat on Patreon, subscribe to us on YouTube, and follow us at:XLetterboxdInstagramFacebookBlueSkyShow LinksWatch the Make Me Famous (2021) trailer.Watch the Basquiat (1996) trailer.Follow all things Make Me Famous at the film's official website.Order the new 4K UHD of Basquiat from The Criterion Collection.And read Roger Durling's essay about the controversial restoration here.Keep up with Jeff York's criticism and caricatures at The Establishing Shot and Pipeline Artists.

Transmettre l'art contemporain aux enfants, offrir aux artistes la possibilité de créer sur le continent africain, c'est l'histoire pionnière incarnée par Marie-Cécile Zinsou et toute l'équipe de la Fondation devenue Musée à Ouidah au Bénin. L'amazone de l'art a été la première à exposer Romuald Hazoumé ou Cyprien Tokoudagba inconnus dans leur propre pays, la première aussi à montrer les œuvres d'artistes internationaux comme Jean-Michel Basquiat ou Joël Andrianomearisoa. (Rediffusion) Et c'est justement avec Joël Andrianomearisoa, son complice de toujours, que l'exposition Promesse célèbre 20 ans d'engagement et de restitution. Restitution des trésors royaux du Dahomey mais surtout restitution de l'histoire et de l'identité des Béninois, sans faire abstraction de leurs émotions. Esprit libre, Marie-Cécile Zinsou reste fidèle à la promesse faite à son grand-oncle le Président Zinsou : Changer le monde !   À découvrir : - Le site de la Fondation - L'histoire de la Fondation - L'exposition Promesse pour les 20 ans de la Fondation - Les publications de la Fondation - Le Studio Joël Andrianomearisoa   Album de famille de la Fondation (Diaporama) Du fond du cœur, je remercie toutes les équipes de la Fondation Zinsou : Marie-Cécile Zinsou, présidente ; Halima Moumouni-Jeanjean, directrice générale ; Choubine Houngbo, responsable production ; Josué Agbo, adjoint technique ; Laura Fagbohoun, manager cafétéria-boutique et Claude Akotome, responsable site Ouidah sans oublier toute l'équipe des guides culturels du Lab de Cotonou et du Musée de Ouidah. Je tiens également à remercier l'artiste Joël Andrianomearisoa pour avoir accepté ma présence pendant l'accrochage de son exposition, et toute son équipe du studio Joël Andrianomearisoa. Spéciale dédicace à Sophie Douay, directrice de l'association Contemporary A, responsable de la médiation culturelle, commissariat, éditions, gestion de la collection de la Fondation Zinsou. Sans oublier tous les artistes rencontrés sans lesquels je n'aurais pu réaliser ce documentaire : Ishola Akpo Jérémy Demester ou l'oeuvre de Cyprien Tokoudagba.   Pour aller plus loin, le podcast. Le podcast « Le mystère du 27è trésor », signé Pierre Firtion, revient sur le trésor qui manque à l'appel quand la France restitue au Bénin le 10 Novembre 2021, 26 œuvres pillées dans les palais royaux d'Abomey par le colonel Dodds en 1892. La mémoire de cet objet manquant, un tabouret sacré qu'on appelle « kataklé », s'est en fait perdue au fil des années. L'historienne de l'art Marie-Cécile Zinsou est à l'origine de cette découverte.

Mathias Modica arbeitete schon früh für sein damaliges Musik-Label Gomma mit Mirko Borsche und Thomas Kartsolis zusammen, ebenso wie mit dem legendären New Yorker Künstler Rammellzee, der sich wiederum, wenn ich mich nicht irre, eine Wohnung mit dem jungen Jean-Michel Basquiat teilte. Das ist also die Liga, in der Mathias sich gerne rumtreibt. Heute betreibt er die Label Toy Tonics und Kryptox. Außerdem gestaltet er, beitreibt gerne noch die ein oder andere Bar und jettet wirklich ständig durch die Welt für Auftritte in Rom, New York, Copenhagen und andere kleine verschlafene Städtchen.

Ce sont deux monuments. Deux artistes incontournables des années 80. Et leur liaison n'est pourtant pas si connue que cela. Pourtant, Madonna et Jean-Michel Basquiat ont vécu une idylle passionnée. Courte, mais intense. Et quand on y réfléchit, c'est vrai qu'ils vont plutôt bien ensemble. Première diffusion : 16 avril 2021 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The White House’s immigration crackdown, the protests, the mobilization of the National Guard and Marines have all reignited the personal feud between President Trump and Gov. Gavin Newsom, and the White House versus California. LAUSD officials are deploying school police to create "perimeters of safety” around graduation ceremonies and campuses where federal immigration agents have been detected.  ICE is looking to spend as much as $45 billion on private prisons and related infrastructure over the next two years. Border czar Tom Homan says he wants 100,000 detention beds. Kenny Scharf has painted mischievous-looking cartoons on about 300 cars, most of them in LA. He talks about making art accessible, plus his relationships with Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Andy Warhol.

Jean-Michel Basquiat's graffiti in Lower Manhattan was mistaken for a CIA operation. He was the toast of the New York art world while sleeping on floors in squalid apartments. He sold his first painting to Blondie's Debbie Harry for $200. Less than a year later, his paintings were going for more than $20,000. And decades later, the debate over what is and what is not a real Basquiat rages on. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including a depiction of police brutality. This episode was originally published on April 25, 2024. Basquiat excelled at both visual art and music. What other musicians excelled in a second skill, art form, or sport?

On August 12, 1988, Jean-Michel Basquiat—the visionary painter whose explosive talent redefined the possibilities of contemporary art—died of a heroin overdose in his New York City studio at the age of 27. Basquiat's meteoric rise from a graffiti tagger in the Lower East Side to a global art-world phenomenon was nothing short of revolutionary. Widely hailed as the greatest contemporary artist of his generation, Basquiat's canvases pulsed with urgency, intellect, and emotion—breaking down barriers of race, class, and tradition in the art establishment. His untimely death cemented his legend, leaving behind a body of work that continues to challenge, inspire, and command reverence, a lasting reminder of genius gone far too soon.

From Jan 2024. Dive into the provocative world of artistic "theft" as Ty and Nathan explore how creative innovation truly emerges from our influences. This conversation challenges the myth of pure originality, arguing instead that the greatest artists throughout history have been masterful collectors and transformers of ideas.Beginning with Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto's transformative quote—"Start copying what you love... at the end of the copy you will find yourself"—the duo examines how creative development flourishes through strategic borrowing. From Quentin Tarantino's open acknowledgment of film references to David Bowie's musical influences, the most distinctive voices often emerge from those who've absorbed the most diverse inspirations.They unpack wisdom from creative legends including Jim Jarmusch, Paul Schrader, and Jean-Luc Godard, who all emphasize that true originality lies not in where you take ideas from, but where you take them to. Art movements throughout history—from Impressionism to Abstract Expressionism—evolved through artists stealing ideas from each other while working side by side, proving that innovation rarely emerges in isolation.What distinguishes mere imitation from transformative theft? When does copying become finding your voice? The conversation offers practical advice for artists at every stage: diversify your influences, document what moves you and why, maintain an "omnivorous" approach to inspiration, and create systems to capture ideas when they strike. Ultimately, the episode makes a compelling case that the most authentic artistic expression comes not from avoiding influence, but from embracing it wholeheartedly.Follow us on Instagram @ty_nathan_clark and @nathanturborg to continue exploring how creative influences shape artistic development.Send us a message - we would love to hear from you!Make sure to follow us on Instagram here:@justmakeartpodcast @tynathanclark @nathanterborg

In his memoir Sonic Life (Faber), Thurston Moore recounts a life that has been defined by music. Following a childhood rock 'n' roll epiphany in the early 1960s, his infatuation with the subversive world of 1970s punk and no wave led him to move to New York City, where he immersed himself in the underground music and art scenes. In 1981 he co-founded the band Sonic Youth, who changed the sound of modern rock music in a thirty-year career of constant experimentation. Throughout the book we encounter a constellation of musicians and artists who inspired him, including The Velvet Underground, The Stooges, Patti Smith, Television, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring.Moore talks with poet Jack Underwood (A Year in the New Life, Happiness). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

There's a direct line from the Transit Police beating Michael Stewart to death in front of horrified art students to Eric Adams being elected mayor — one that intersects with Madonna, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Spike Lee and Tucker Carlson. Journalist Elon Green, the author of The Man Nobody Killed: Life, Death, and Art in Michael Stewart's New York, the first book-length account of a crime that captivated the city and that no one was held responsible for as Mayor Ed Koch flatly called police brutality “a phony issue” rejoins the podcast to discusses all that, and much more, with Rachel Holiday Smith and Harry Siegel.

Chapter 1 What's No Wave by Thurston Moore"No Wave" by Thurston Moore is a profound exploration of an avant-garde music movement that emerged in New York City during the late 1970s. Characterized by its experimentalism, No Wave rejected the conventions of traditional rock and punk, opting instead for dissonance, noise, and a radical approach to sound. The genre was notably influenced by the harsh urban environment of New York, corresponding with the socio-political turmoil of the time. Artists associated with No Wave, such as Sonic Youth, Swans, and James Chance, embraced elements of free jazz, minimalism, and punk, creating an abrasive and confrontational experience.Throughout the text, Moore illustrates how No Wave was more than just a musical genre; it was also a cultural movement that intertwined visual art, film, and performance. He brings attention to key venues like CBGB and The Kitchen where No Wave artists showcased their work, and mentions the collaborative spirit among musicians, which was essential for the movement's evolution. The book maintains that No Wave's legacy continues to influence contemporary music and art, illustrating its lasting impact on the creative landscape.Chapter 2 No Wave by Thurston Moore Summary"No Wave" is a musical movement and artistic style that emerged in the late 1970s in New York City, characterized by its avant-garde approach to punk rock. It sought to break away from the conventional structures and sounds of typical rock music by incorporating dissonance, noise, and unorthodox performance styles. In his exploration of No Wave, Thurston Moore, the guitarist and vocalist of the iconic band Sonic Youth, reflects on the genre's influence on music and art. Moore emphasizes the genre's raw, experimental nature and its rejection of traditional melodies and harmonies. Bands associated with No Wave, such as Swans, DNA, and Mars, utilized feedback, atonality, and unconventional song structures to challenge listeners and redefine what music could be.The movement was not merely musical; it also encompassed visual art and performance, bringing together artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat and performance artist Laurie Anderson. Moore discusses how No Wave represented a response to both the commercialization of the music industry and the cultural dynamics of New York City during that era, highlighted by tensions around race and politics. In summary, Moore's insights reflect a deep appreciation for the No Wave movement as a pivotal point in the evolution of experimental music, underscoring its legacy as a profound influence on future genres and artists who continue to push the boundaries of sound.Chapter 3 No Wave AuthorThurston Moore is an American musician, songwriter, and author, best known as the guitarist and co-founder of the influential alternative rock band Sonic Youth. He is a prominent figure in the underground music scene and has played a significant role in the development of the No Wave movement, which emerged in downtown New York City in the late 1970s.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 17, 2024 is: lexical • LEK-sih-kul • adjective To describe something as lexical is to say that it is related to words or vocabulary. // A dictionary provides lexical information—it tells you what the word "cat" means, not all there is to know about cats. See the entry > Examples: "From his [artist Jean-Michel Basquiat's] lyrical brushstrokes to his lexical compositions, music is imbued even when the reference is subtle or ambiguous. There are obvious portraits of jazz greats and song titles in many works, while others force a more discerning gaze." — Natasha Gural, Forbes, 24 Jan. 2023 Did you know? The word lexical and its relatives have a special place in our hearts (and in our dictionaries). In addition to referring to one's personal vocabulary, lexicon can be used as a synonym of dictionary, and the word lexicography refers to the practice of making dictionaries. Both of these words, as well as lexical, come from the Greek word lexis, meaning "word" or "speech." So, if you're considering a lexical—that is, word-related—career as a wordsmith or, say, a lexicographer, you may want to add these terms to your lexicon.

With his themes of repetition and appropriation, Andy Warhol's work can seem mass produced. He was prone to say that his assistants did his work for him and often invented different narratives in interviews. In fact, weaving tall tales and shaping his own mythology was another important aspect of his art: he was creating the ultimate persona of an artist every bit as Pop as his paintings, one who specialized in glacial coolness and glib detachment. Although the paintings might look like they came off of a conveyor belt, that was by design, and Warhol maintained close involvement with his work. In fact, before silkscreen printing became his trademark, Warhol hand-painted the 32 canvasses that make up the iconic 1962 work Campbell's Soup Cans. Warhol gained fame in the 1960s as part of the Pop boom, but this was actually the second phase of his career. He spent the 1950s in New York as a successful commercial illustrator, doing advertisements, book and record covers. All the while he made personal work and had a smattering of shows in small galleries, most of which were ignored or poorly received. But the seeds of his subversive repertoire were being slyly developed in his intimate drawings to which Warhol would return in his later life. For this week's episode, Artnet editor William Van Meter is joined by the journalist, critic, and author of the 2020 biography Warhol, Blake Gopnik. What more could be said about the artist that the heap of other biographies hadn't covered? It turns out, plenty. Gopnik spent eight years researching and writing Warhol, and at almost 1,000 pages it is filled with wonderful details and newly discovered data. On this episode we discuss Warhol by-hand, his pre-Pop era as well as some of his later, less mechanized moments such as his collaboration with Jean-Michel Basquiat, and how he managed to leave his mark on every aspect of his work, handmade and beyond.

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.
