«MUSCLES ARE GREAT: EVERYBODY SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST ONE THAT THEY CAN SHOW OFF»


«IT'S CALLED GOSSIP AND OF COURSE IT'S AN OBSESSION OF MINE»

Keith Haring's artwork is among the most recognizable of the 20th century -- but the authenticity of roughly 80 paintings has been called into question ... and now, a group of art dealers is suing for $40 MILLION, claiming it's being falsely accused of peddling fakes.

The Miami-based dealers are suing the Keith Haring Foundation after it accused them of selling bogus Harings at an exhibit in March last year called "Haring Miami."

ANDY WARHOL AND STEVE JOBS

Warhol took Sean's spot in front of the computer, and Jobs showed him how to maneuver the mouse. Warhol didn't get it; he lifted and waved the mouse as if it were a conductor's baton. Jobs gently explained that th mouse worked when it was pushed along a surface. Warhol kept lifting it until Jobs placed his hand on Warhol's and guided it along the floor. Finally Warhol began drawing, staring at the «pencil» as it drew on the screen

L'AVENIR DE DAMIEN HIRST: LA LEÇON WARHOL

Aujourd'hui Damien Hirst n'est plus la coqueluche du monde de l'art qu'il fut à ses débuts. Mais l'histoire nous apprend que comme tout le reste, cela ne sera que passager. De Warhol on a dit que toute sa production après les années 1960 ne présentait guère d'intérêt. Puis on a redécouvert d'abord  la beauté de ses grands autoportraits sur fond noir. Ensuite ce fut ses portraits des années 1970, puis sa dernière période et ses collaborations avec Haring et Basquiat. Enfin aujourd'hui, c'est son immense production commerciale passée pour des magazines ou des pochettes d'albums que l'on redécouvre avec enthousiasme. Hirst suivra une courbe similaire. Les séries de papillons seront les premiers à être redécouverts pour leur valeur esthétique. Et comme Warhol ce sera ensuite sa création de pochettes d'albums de disque qui relança l'intérêt pour son oeuvre à l'avenir. L'association avec le monde de la musique ne ment jamais.

"With amazing candor and clarity, Eminem has shown the full spectrum of male emotions on his albums, from a cooing tenderness toward children to ranting arias of betrayal and revenge. We see in him the agonizing ambivalence that is one of the principal engines of obsessive art-making from Michelangelo to Picasso."

POST WARHOL PREDICTION: JEWISH MAG: IS THE RETURN OF PAINTERLY PAINTING GOOD FOR THE JEWS?

«GOOD BUSINESS IS THE BEST ART»

Kour Pour, a 26-year-old Los Angeles painter, is such a hot prospect in the art world that his first solo exhibition sold out even before the show opened last month in New York. Buyers snapped up all seven of Pour’s 8-foot-tall canvases, which depict Persian rugs and were priced at $15,000, according to Joel Mesler, co-owner of the Untitled Gallery, where the show runs through Feb. 23. Mesler says he received unsolicited offers from buyers willing to pay significantly more. “There’s a tremendous amount of speculation in the market right now, particularly for emerging artists,” says Todd Levin, director of the New York-based Levin Art Group, who has advised collectors for more than 25 years. “It is more ferocious than it’s ever been.”

«I think the girl who's standing on the street corner should pay the guy who comes up to her, because she's hot, right? The guy's not hot, she's hot, right? She's the prostitute, but she's hot and she should pay the person that wants it. She should be on easy street and pay the person for doing it to her, don't you think. I think it should be that way. She should just have a lot of money from the city to to pay him.»

«Andy had always liked drawing; that was why he went to art school. It was his line that was special. He was very aware that what he had was a talent. Above all, he like making art hat was profitable. He wasn't removed from his art in the nihilistic way that is often ascribed to him.

UN SIGNE QUI NE MENT PAS

On a dit beaucoup de choses au sujet de ce qui fait que Warhol se classe parmi les grands artistes. Or, ce n'est ni le prix de ses toiles, ni sa célébrité, ni son obsession du travail. C'est plutôt que comme tous les vrais artistes , il était prêt à tricher pour la beauté. Portraits de ses clients version chirurgie plastique, perruques argentées pour le look, et cette façon de dire sous forme de boutade qu'il ne savait pas quand l'artificiel commençait et ou le naturel s'arrêtait.
