Born and raised in Pennsylvania, the 97-year-old Pittsburgh-based artist and sculptor Thaddeus Mosley has a deep and enduring obsession with wood. In his late 20s, he began to use the material for art, carving sculptures in his basement studio, and with his sculpture-making now spanning 70 years, his enduring dedication to his craft is practically unparalleled. Represented by Karma gallery since 2019, Mosley has only now, in the past decade or so, begun to receive the international recognition and attention he has long deserved. In his hands, wood sings; he shapes and carves trees into striking abstract forms that often appear as if they're levitating while honoring and preserving their organic, natural character. As with the work of his two main influences, Constantin Brâncuși and Isamu Noguchi, Mosley, too, strives to make sculptures that, in his words, beyond today, “will be interesting in a hundred tomorrows.”On the episode, he talks about the language that poetry, music, and sculpture all share; his early years as a sports writer for a local newspaper; and his life-transforming relationship with the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh.Special thanks to our Season 9 presenting sponsor, L'École, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Thaddeus Mosley[4:13] Sam Gilliam[17:24] Carnegie Museum[21:08] Carnegie International[21:08] Leon Arkus[21:08] “Thaddeus Mosley: Forest”[21:08] “Inheritance”[24:20] Isamu Noguchi[27:53] Constantin Brâncuși[28:28] University of Pittsburgh[28:28] Martha Graham[46:15] Floyd Bennett Field[46:23] Ebony magazine[46:23] Sepia magazine[46:23] Jet magazine[46:23] Pittsburgh Courier[54:34] John Coltrane[51:37] Li Bo[51:37] Dylan Thomas[56:21] Bernard Leach[57:45] Langston Hughes[57:45] Countee Cullen[57:45] Harriet Tubman[57:45] Fannie Lou Hamer[57:45] “The Long-Legged Bait”[57:45] “Air Step - for Fayard and Harold Nicholas”[57:45] The Nicholas Brothers
Heralded by many as one of the most innovative contemporary abstract painters, Sam Gilliam created art over decades and decades that challenges the parameters of painting and sculpture, encouraging his viewers to reexamine their relationship to space and object. Join our hosts as they talk about this celebrated artist from their signature different perspectives.
Sam Gilliam tells a story called "Mary, Mother of Jesus."

In this episode I had the honor to sit down with artist Jeffrey Gibson joined by curator and co-editor of An Indigenous Present, Jenelle Porter. We were given space at SITE Santa Fe in Director Louis Grachos office to have a long and generative conversation while we celebrated the book's launch over Indian Market weekend. We talk about Jeff's practice and his journey to this moment and the Artist shares the vulnerable, complicated, difficult and joyous path of choosing to be an Artist, offering reflection from what he has learned along the way, understanding how the practice and studio has evolved in the 20 some years of being a working Artist. We then dive in with both Jeff and Jenelle to speak on Jeff's thought process behind An Indigenous Present, learning about the years of care and intention behind the project, which is, as Jeff reflects, an “Artist book about Artists”. We round out our 2 plus hour chat with the excitement and work that has come with Jeffrey being named the artist to represent the U.S. at the 60th Venice Biennale. As we end our chat, both Jeff and Jenelle share important and practical insight on how to navigate the art worlds and art markets and Jeffrey reminds us all that “Artists do have the power to set precedence in institutions”. Featured song: SMOKE RINGS SHIMMERS ENDLESS BLUR by Laura Ortman, 2023 Broken Boxes introduction song by India Sky More about the publication An Indigenous Present: https://www.artbook.com/9781636811024.html More about the Artist Jeffrey Gibson Jeffrey Gibson's work fuses his Choctaw-Cherokee heritage and experience of living in Europe, Asia and the USA with references that span club culture, queer theory, fashion, politics, literature and art history. The artist's multi-faceted practice incorporates painting, performance, sculpture, textiles and video, characterised by vibrant colour and pattern. Gibson was born in 1972, Colorado, USA and he currently lives and works in Hudson Valley, New York. The artist combines intricate indigenous artisanal handcraft – such as beadwork, leatherwork and quilting – with narratives of contemporary resistance in protest slogans and song lyrics. This “blend of confrontation and pageantry” is reinforced by what Felicia Feaster describes as a “sense of movement and performance as if these objects ... are costumes waiting for a dancer to inhabit them.” The artist harnesses the power of such materials and techniques to activate overlooked narratives, while embracing the presence of historically marginalised identities. Gibson explains: “I am drawn to these materials because they acknowledge the global world. Historically, beads often came from Italy, the Czech Republic or Poland, and contemporary beads can also come from India, China and Japan. Jingles originated as the lids of tobacco and snuff tins, turned and used to adorn dresses, but now they are commercially made in places such as Taiwan. Metal studs also have trade references and originally may have come from the Spanish, but also have modern references to punk and DIY culture. It's a continual mash-up.” Acknowledging music as a key element in his experience of life as an artist, pop music became one of the primary points of reference in Gibson's practice: musicians became his elders and lyrics became his mantras. Recent paintings synthesise geometric patterns inspired by indigenous American artefacts with the lyrics and psychedelic palette of disco music. Solo exhibitions include ‘THE SPIRITS ARE LAUGHING', Aspen Art Museum, Colorado (2022); ‘This Burning World', Institute of Contemporary Art, San Francisco, California (2022); ‘The Body Electric', SITE Santa Fe, New Mexico (2022) and Frist Art Museum, Nashville (2023); ‘INFINITE INDIGENOUS QUEER LOVE', deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, Lincoln, Massachusetts (2021); ‘To Feel Myself Beloved on the Earth', Benenson Center, Art Omi, Ghent, New York (2021); ‘When Fire is Applied to a Stone It Cracks', Brooklyn Art Museum, Brooklyn, New York (2020); ‘The Anthropophagic Effect', New Museum, New York City, New York (2019); ‘Like a Hammer', Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, Madison, Wisconsin (2019); Seattle Art Museum, Seattle, Washington (2019); Mississippi Museum of Art, Jackson, Mississippi (2019); Denver Art Museum, Denver, Colorado (2018); ‘This Is the Day', Blanton Museum of Art, Austin, Texas (2019); Ruth and Elmer Wellin Museum of Art, Clinton, New York (2018) and ‘Love Song', Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, Massachusetts (2013).

The Postman is here! We got the esteemed collector Kerry Davis joining the Studio Noize fam. Kerry built his legendary collection while working 30 years as a postman at USPS. How impressive is his collection? Well, it's in the middle of a 5-year national museum tour, and he could have a whole other show from work currently up in his home. The collection includes the biggest names in Black art, from Charles White to Radcliff Bailey, Mo Brooker to Louis Delsarte. The collection alone is enough to discuss, but we go deeper than that. Kerry tells us about the relationships with those names on the wall. Mildred Thomas was his real friend; those personal stories are so great to hear. We talk about how he started touring his collection, got so much incredible work, and all the artists he met and got to know on his journey. Another great episode with that good art talk for you.

Ashley is committed to building her art collection, and we discuss how she does it. It's a little bit of budgeting, a little bit of research, and a whole lot of passion for the work that she loves. We break down things like budgeting and framing, getting to know artists, and how the pieces make her feel. Ashley tells us about her favorite artists, her dream pieces, and the importance of telling everyone how they can build a great collection without being rich.

Although she acquired her first open edition print by notable artist Gilbert Young in 2005 as part of a leadership program with her alma mater Spelman College, she became a serious Black art collector in 2018 when she acquired the "Obama No Drama" linocut by David C. Driskell to commemorate her experience as a 2012 Democratic National Convention Obama Delegate. Over the years, she has collected scores of works including works from established artists such as Kerry James Marshall, Sam Gilliam, Faith Ringgold, Elizabeth Catlett, and Samella Lewis. Ashley collects Black art exclusively because in the words of Faith Ringgold "art is a form of experience of the person, the place, the history of the people, and as Black people, we are different." While she has acquired amazing pieces thus far, her art collecting journey is in full swing as she continues to purchase pieces that resonate with her and represent different aspects of her soul.See more: The AML Collection website + The AML Collection IG @theamlcollection Presented by: Black Art In AmericaFollow us:StudioNoizePodcast.comIG: @studionoizepodcastJamaal Barber: @JBarberStudioSupport the podcast www.patreon.com/studionoizepodcast
This is LiveArt's Hot List for the second quarter of 2022. Using our comprehensive data, we looked at the sales in April, May and June in London, New York and Hong Kong. We tried to identify the artists with high hammer ratios across multiple sales. Hammer ratio is the hammer price over low estimate. We narrowed that list to a few dozen artists, excluding, for example, the names from the Winter Hot List. Then we boiled it down further to 16 artists whose markets we think are worth paying some attention to right now. We covered 9 artists in the first episode. In this one, George O'Dell discusses the markets for Sam Gilliam, A.R. Penck, with side tangent on Georg Baselitz and other European artists, Yuichi Hirako, Susumu Kamijo, Louis Fratino, Ross Bleckner along with some other re-discovered artists from the 1980s, Danielle Orchard and finally George's take on the market conditions going into the Fall.a If you want to follow along as we discuss the sales, go to analytics.liveart.io.

African American artists and artists of the African diaspora have been getting a great deal of attention from the art world for the last five years. But Nigel Freeman built the African American art market one sale at a time at Swann Auction Galleries. For 15 years, Freeman developed collectors and courted consignors. He was instrumental in igniting the market for Barkley Hendricks and helped refocus market attention on a broad group of artists like Charles White, Hale Woodruff, Sam Gilliam, Elizabeth Catlett, Hughie Lee-Smith and Kenneth Victor Young. In this podcast, Freeman talks about how this market developed out of the spotlight and what has happened since these artists have gotten the recognition they deserve.
A partner at Mnuchin Gallery since 2013, Sukanya Rajaratnam has played an important role in connecting some of the world's most respected collectors with artists whose work has been previously overlooked or undervalued. Trained in finance but finding her way into the art world, Rajaratnam explains that although she is self-taught in art history and deal-making, her experience looking for value in the financial world has been instrumental in her role as an art dealer. In this podcast, she talks about the exhibitions Mnuchin Gallery has put on for artists like Ed Clark, Sam Gilliam, Lynda Benglis, Mary Lovelace O'Neal and more.
This week, Rev. Josh talks with Sam Gilliam about how she has experienced generosity at Reconciliation.

Episode Forty features Peg Alston. For nearly four decades since establishing Peg Alston Fine Arts, she has emerged as this country’s foremost private dealer specializing in works by African American artists and other artists of African descent, as well as select pieces of traditional African sculpture. In addition to handling art created by gifted emerging and mid-career artists, Peg Alston has sold works by some of the most renowned 20th Century Black masters, including Aaron Douglas, William H. Johnson, Laura Wheeler Waring, William T. Williams, Horace Pippen, Charles White, and Elizabeth Catlett. She has also sold works by some of the leading names on the contemporary scene, among them: Sam Gilliam, Richard Yarde, Betye Saar, Howardena Pindell, Frank Bowling, Ronald Burns, Edward Clark, David Driskell, Al Loving, Lubaina Himid, Oliver Johnson, Faith Ringgold, and Raymond Saunders. Peg Alston emerged on the New York art scene in 1972, a time when art by African Americans was limited. Early giants such as Romare Bearden and Norman Lewis generously served as informal mentors during the beginning stages of her career. Thanks to her keen eye and tastes, commitment to her specialty, and dedication to educating the public through lectures and activism, she has played a pivotal role in cultivating an interest all around the country for investing in African American fine art, and formed close associations with many of today’s most important African American artists. Long active with theStudio Museum in Harlem and many other major New York City cultural institutions, Peg Alston organized some of the first seminars on collecting, appraising and cataloguing African American art. Today, Peg Alston is a member of the Private Dealer’s Association (PADA) and ArtTable, and recently had the honor of being interviewed by History Makers for their visual and oral archival collection. http://www.pegalstonfinearts.com/ https://www.thehistorymakers.org/biography/peg-alston-41 https://www.instagram.com/pegalston/?hl=en
I found that what Lanecia shared about choosing life, moving through grief, being honest and claiming art for herself was exactly what I needed to hear in this moment. I’m in love with the depth of thought behind her work (which you’ll get to hear!) as well as her perspective on the ways art makes us better humans in the world. We talked about… -- How Lancia creates with patience and mindfulness, and let’s her work “become” in it’s own timing (and the practicality of working with deadlines within this process) -- What led to her transition from minister to artist, and how her background plays out in her vocation now -- How Lanecia moved through the grief of losing her daughter, both on and off the canvas, as well as advice for others working through grief. -- How both creating art and engaging with art makes us better humans -- How Lancia has fiercely directed her own art education and her favorite resources for doing so -- much more! And! Be sure to check out the show notes on this one. Lancia shared a WEALTH of educational and inspirational resources, and I linked them all up for you. _______________________________________________________ Links and Mentions: -- Creative Process by James Baldwin -- On Joy and Sorrow by Kahlil Gibran -- Living With Art by Mark Getlein -- Menil Collection in Houston -- Art Institute in Chicago -- Romare Bearden, Sam Gilliam, Ed Clark, Toni Morrison, Audre Lorde, Frank Bowling, Elma Thomas Additional resources from Lanecia: MOMA Online classes (they are FREE!)

In this episode we speak to Bobbie Jo about her latest feelings about the case as it progresses.
Art expert and critic Elaine A. King found her way to the Podcast studio, mask and all. This was filmed during the coronavirus pandemic with social distancing, shortly after Arizona governor Ducey issued a stay at home order. Elaine's story as a professor, historian, critic, and curator was enlighting. King was a tenured Professor at Carnegie-Mellon University in Art History & Theory and has curated over 50 art exhibitions. We had a lively discussion on the nuances of what it means to be an art critic and curator; a field I didn't really understand fully until our podcast. It was freeing to discuss art in such a trying time as a lockdown pandemic as art holds importance in our culture, listeners and in my own life. This art podcast was a deep dive into contemporary art, and I hope you' find it as interesting as I did.
At UNTITLED, ART San Francisco, Leigh Raiford, Associate Professor of African American Studies at the University of California, Berkeley, conversed with gallerist Michael Rosenfeld to discuss Michael Rosenfeld Gallery's curated presentation of artists exhibited in "Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power 1963–1983." The gallery's booth presentation at UNTITLED, ART San Francisco will included works by such seminal artists as Frank Bowling, Ed Clark, Sam Gilliam, Jacob Lawrence, Norman Lewis, Betye Saar, and William T. Williams, among others.

James Voorhies, Chair, Graduate Program in Curatorial Practice, California College of the Arts, moderated the conversation.

Bloomberg art market reporter James Tarmy spent the better part of a week swimming in the aisles of Art Basel in Switzerland, the world's premier art fair where many of the top galleries not only make important sales but set the tone for their client base and communicate their view of the art market and its opportunities. Basel isn't only about sales, as Tarmy explains. The city's museums put on influential shows like the Sam Gilliam retrospective or the Beyeler Foundation's Francis Bacon-Alberto Giacometti show. Then, of course, there are the dinners.
In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, Katya Kazakina, art market report for Bloomberg News, joins us to discuss the important correction happening in the art world in which collectors and museums are increasingly focusing on collecting Black artists. First, Katya pinpoints how and when this correction began. Then, she discusses how important it has become for prominent museums to acquire Black artists for their collections and how successful they have been at this given the recent increase in prices for these artworks. After, Katya identifies some of the key Black artists being targeted by museums, including Mark Bradford, Sam Gilliam, David Hammons, Barkley Hendricks, Chris Ofili and others. Also, Katya talks about how this trend is translating at art galleries, where they are beginning to show and represent more younger black artists. Lastly, Katya speculates if this trend will be more long-lasting than others in the art market and she also highlights some Black artists who will be up for auction in next month's May auctions.
Sirius XM produced this interview between artist Sam Gilliam and Jonathan Binstock, the director of Rochester's Memorial Art Gallery and a Gilliam scholar. On the occasion of Gilliam's return to the Venice Biennale 45 years after he represented the United States, this far-ranging conversation covers the artist's entire career. Born in Louisville, Kentucky where Cassius Clay, Sr. (Muhammed Ali's father) was a prominent painter, Gilliam encountered a European refugee Ulfert Wilke at the Louisville and became his studio assistant. He also eventually encountered the Gutai artists in Japan, Bob Thompson and moved eventually to Washington, DC where Kenneth Noland was at the center of the Color Field movement and the city was "a town of connection." Throughout this conversation Gilliam talks of the lifelong struggle to make art and make a life as an artist. His career followed no clear trajectory but has been punctuated by encounters with an endless cast of 20th Century artistic influences culminating in his most recent turn in the center stage.
Video interview with the artist Sam Gilliam produced for the Luce Foundation Center in the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
