...Hollywood-Kennedy royalty would be expected to inhabit. Their home is a five-bedroom, 11-bathroom, Tudor-style pile. It measures 11,000 sq. ft. on six ocean-view acres in Brentwood. Visitors to their home bring back tales of Arnie's lavish humidors, the enormous ceilings and the Warhol silkscreen of Shriver. It all goes with Arnold's fortune--estimated at several hundred million. That comes largely from movies--he was paid $30 million for Terminator 3--but also from real estate like the Columbus, Ohio, shopping mall he invested...
...genres, like myself, will find a blissful smile uplift their face in the presence of so much "junk." G.I. Joe dolls in action poses, Simpsons dioramas and full-scale sculptures of creatures from the Lord of Rings movies get museum-like attention. And why shouldn't they? Andy Warhol, who you can easily imagine walking around the Con, redefined the meaning of this material over fifty years ago. It's a small leap to New York's Whitney Museum, which currently features Gilles Barbier's life-size installation of geriatric superheroes in a nursing home...
Everyone's big worry this summer: How best to celebrate what would have been Andy Warhol's 75th birthday on Aug. 6? How about this: the Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, Pa., is hosting an exhibition of sculpture and photographs by that blow-dried '70s muse, the poster girl of poster girls, FARRAH FAWCETT, and her collaborator, artist Keith Edmier. The centerpiece of the show is a life-size sculpture of Fawcett's naked form carved in marble by Edmier, and Edmier's cast in bronze by Fawcett. Also on display is a wax seashell containing Fawcett's footprints in sand...
Most of them are well known: Andy Warhol, Robert Ryman. Others are less so: Blinky Palermo, On Kawara. History has by no means decided that all of them are keepers. Minimalism, earthworks, conceptualism, performance art--all have entered our history without always entering our affections. For the artists who came of age in the 1960s and '70s, Dia: Beacon may become the place that secures their reputations once and for all. It could also become the Lourdes of Postmodernism, a place where we converge to share in an illusion about the power and consequence of their work...
...Also, like the example of Warhol and Koons before him, Murakami rarely makes his own stuff anymore. He conceptualizes and sketches every major work and follows up with critiques and color corrections throughout production, but he seldom puts paint on canvas these days. His artworks require layer upon layer of acrylics to produce their flawlessly shiny, signature sheen, and he leaves that tedious task to the 40 apprentices he employs in a factory-style commune 20 kilometers outside Tokyo and another 15 disciples in a Brooklyn, New York City, warehouse...
