Chuck Close Prints: Process and Collaboration
January 13, 2004–April 18, 2004
The Helen and Milton A. Kimmelman Gallery, Lila Acheson Wallace Wing, Modern Art, 1st floor
The subjects of the prints by renowned contemporary artist Chuck Close, like those of his large paintings, are the faces of relatives and fellow artists, as well as self-portraits. This retrospective presents more than 100 images, ranging from Close's first print, Keith, a mezzotint made in 1972, to the 120-color Japanese-style ukiyo-e woodcut Emma, completed in 2002. Also displayed are other intaglios and woodcuts, lithographs, silk-screen prints, linoleum cuts, and selected print matrixes, such as woodblocks and etching plates. The exhibition includes a number of progressive proofs and state proofs of certain images to illuminate Close's working methods.
Accompanied by a publication.
The exhibition was organized by Blaffer Gallery, the Art Museum of the University of Houston. The exhibition and publication have been generously underwritten by the Neuberger Berman Foundation. Additional support was made possible by the Lannan Foundation, Jon and Mary Shirley, The Eleanor and Frank Freed Foundation and Houston Endowment Inc., Jonathan and Marita Fairbanks, Dorene and Frank Herzog, Andrew and Gretchen McFarland, Carey Shuart, The Wortham Foundation, Inc., Karen and Eric Pulaski, Suzanne Slesin and Michael Steinberg, and Texas Commission on the Arts.
In New York, the exhibition is made possible in part by Jane and Robert Carroll. |

^^that picture hurts my head. You should watch the film Un Chien Andalou if you like Dali. Its a surrealist film that he directed(or wrote or whatever, he was directly involved) Its extremely fascinating even though its a silent film. A must see for film fanatics, for film history's sake.
one of my favorite pieces of art is this one. I find that I am more into the Dadaist style of artwork from a creation aspect.

Rejected from an exhibition that was to be open to all works of art sponsored by the Society for Independent Artists in New York, the porcelain urinal was to become the most important and notorious of the "ready-mades," which revolutionized the possibilities for artmaking through their direct use of manufactured consumer products.

Its basically a big fuck you to the system, and I admire that.
I tried to do an homage to it in college. I ripped the back of a chair in our classroom/studio off and wrote "the urinal" on it. Professor got pissed that i broke the chair, but loved the idea. LOL art school. wish i had a picture of it for you guys.

the artist: Wren Panzella
| QUOTE |
| Wren Panzella is an artist who incorporates the fusion and in-motion culture of the United States with her work based on jazz and baseball themes. Seemingly disparate topics, Panzella has found the link that binds in the fast- paced movement associated with both. Her work, though abstract, is also figurative, allowing the subjects to jump off the canvas or paper to interact with the viewer. Her sketchbooks are filled with on-site studies-at Justin's Restaurant in Albany on jazz nights, at Yankee Stadium, at the Saratoga Jazz Festival, etc. Her paintings, lithographs and prints do not intend to capture a single moment, a single note, a single strike, but rather capture the spectrum of action that can never be associated with a single second in time. However, the viewer feels the universal moment that evokes the entire game, the entire set, the entire evening in a genuine jazz cafe. |

Picasso painting sells for record 104 million dollars
Thu May 6, 5:43 AM ET
NEW YORK (AFP) - A 1905 masterpiece by Pablo Picasso, "Garcon a la Pipe" became the most expensive painting in history, selling at Sotheby's in New York for 104,168,000 dollars to smash the world record for an auctioned art work.
The sale beat the 82.5 million dollars paid for Vincent Van Gogh's "Portrait of Dr. Gachet" at a Christie's auction in New York in 1990.
The chairman of Sotheby's North America, Warren Weitman, made the final bid on the floor of the auction on behalf of an anonymous purchaser.
"We're not going to say one thing about the buyer," said David Norman, co-chairman of Sotheby's Impressionism and Modern Art Worldwide, who refused even to hint at a nationality.
Offers faltered at the 70 million and 80 million dollar levels but each time a new bidder came in to boost the competition.
"I was thrilled to be the one that held the gavel for the most expensive picture in the world," said auctioneer Tobias Meyer, who said he gave bidders more time than usual to decide whether to raise their offers.
"You have to be patient. A million dollar increment is an enormous thing to do as an auctioneer and it's an enormous thing to pay for," Meyer told reporters after the event.
Another highlight of the evening, Edouard Manet's "Courses au Bois de Boulogne," an 1872 composition of a sunny day at the races, sold for 26.3 million dollars, just short of the record 29.04 million dollars for the artist.
Norman attributed the record-setting price of the Picasso to the extreme rarity of seeing such an important painting, in such good condition, go under the auctioneer's hammer.
"There is always tremendous demand when great quality work like this comes up," Norman said. "The painting itself is extraordinary. It's haunting and poetic and drew in everyone that looked at it."
Picasso painted "Garcon a la Pipe" when he was 24, shortly after settling in Paris.
It depicts a Parisian working boy holding a pipe in his left hand. The subject gazes absently into space, a mysterious presence crowned with a garland of roses and framed with two large bouquets on the wall behind him.
The painting was bought for 30,000 dollars in 1950 by John Whitney, a former US ambassador to Britain. It was being sold by the Greentree Foundation, a philanthropic body created in 1982 by Whitney's wife, Betsey, following the death of her husband.
When Betsey Whitney died in 1998, she left more than 300 million dollars' worth of art to four US museums.
In a statement after the auction, Greentree Foundation president Richard Schaffer said he was "delighted" at the result.
"It is a great tribute to Mr. and Mrs. Whitney, who represented collecting at its very best," he said.
In all, 34 paintings from the foundation were sold Wednesday evening, fetching a total of almost 190 million dollars.
"The Whitneys were a phenomenon," said Norman. "They had an extraordinary eye and hit the mark over and over again."
The previous most expensive Picasso sold at auction, "Woman with Crossed Arms" (1901-02), from the artist's Blue period, went for 55 million dollars in November 2000 in New York.
Picasso now has four of the top 10 most expensive paintings sold at auction. He is ahead of Van Gogh with three.
The Greentree auction kicks off the spring season of impressionist and modern-art sales in New York, and both Sotheby's and arch-rival Christie's are hoping the buzz surrounding the Picasso will help boost sales all around. |
