100 profiles and comparisons of individual styles. Tuesday, 27 May 2008. A selection of works from the early 60s by Roy Lichtenstein (1923 – 97) at Gagosian. NY inspires a post on a pivotal moment in twentieth century painting. Typically, the gallery’s website offers little in the way of reproductions, happily resources at the Lichtenstein Foundation. Lichtenstein’s development throughout the 50s essentially matches standard and familiar subjects against strict and abstract treatments. Coincidentally, An...

100 profiles and comparisons of individual styles. Thursday, 20 September 2007. First published 7th March 2007). Concurrent shows by Hirst at Gagosian, London. Offer attractive, large-scale collages of butterflies on black grounds in intricate symmetry. They take up religious and presentational themes established in previous work; continue the artist’s penchant for killing animals in elaborate commission. Emerges in the work of Jeff Koons from the mid 80s with his stainless steel castings of toys. Tellin...

100 profiles and comparisons of individual styles. Tuesday, 5 August 2008. Polke’s stylistic lineage is obvious and yet puzzling. Like colleague Gerhard Richter. Polke’s career benefits from the success of a younger generation of German painters in the late 70s and early 80s, the Neue Wilden. But in as much as he exerts an influence, it is only on artists like Albert Oehlen. From common sources, usually, but not always photographic. To gradually include stencils. And tracing identified as such. Print sub...

100 profiles and comparisons of individual styles. Tuesday, 13 November 2007. R B KITAJ (1932-2007). Kitaj’s sources are not contemporary advertising or graphics, but an array of historical and literary publications, often obscure. His project is initially a history painting constructed from layers of such reference. In early works such as The Murder of Rosa Luxemburg. And Reflections on Violence - Gedanken über Gewalttätigkeit. For photo-silkscreen prints only emphasise how easily print absorbs collage.

100 profiles and comparisons of individual styles. Tuesday, 24 June 2008. The present show at Regen Projects. LA - Energetic Accumulators and Token Exchanges. Zittel’s work is often comic, exaggerating the reductive functions supposed by domestic design. There is also a strangely alienated, behaviouristic view of life, a need to define activities so concretely, in terms of objects to hand, for lack of any larger – especially interactive or interpersonal – ambit. It is design that fusses o...Alternatively...

100 profiles and comparisons of individual styles. Tuesday, 26 February 2008. The installations of Cosima von Bonin deal in familiar, even orthodox concerns. There are surprising combinations of furniture, fittings and architectural features. Gathered in impressive variety, partitions. Improvised and mobile fixtures. Barricades, hangings and upholstery. Luxury and sporting goods. Sometimes mounted and framed as pictures. 8211; even paintings. The installations display a curious range of standard goods.

100 profiles and comparisons of individual styles. Tuesday, 8 April 2008. An exhibition at the Donald Young Gallery. She provides a good example by which to survey the trend. Trockel began as a Neo-Expressionist. As ‘paintings’. And similar use of printed fabrics. Owes much to Polke’s use of such printing as support to paintings. Paintings or to export from. And performance, events and recordings or documentation to a work are similarly embraced, grant the work further stages and greater integration, as ...

Currentartpics: INTRODUCTION
http://currentartpics.blogspot.com/2010/07/summary.html
100 profiles and comparisons of individual styles. Monday, 19 July 2010. Aim of Currentartpics was to demonstrate a new approach to recent art history and its categories of style, or stylistics. That approach is fully presented at. In spite of the title, it proposes a framework accommodating sculpture, printing - especially photography - and Conceptual work. Currentartpics also allowed me to deal with sculpture, photography and Conceptual works in more depth than was available at. Another important omiss...
