Julian Schnabel, I’m Andy Warhol, Who Are You?

Julian Schnabel, who is known for his paintings on unconventional materials like broken crockery and truck tarpaulins, first painted on velvet in 1982. Ranging in its associations from opera-house curtains to kitsch artworks, velvet might be seen as fitting for a portrait of artist Andy Warhol (American, 1928-1987), who wore black velvet jackets and sponsored the 1960s rock band The Velvet Underground. Schnabel’s depiction of the bare-torsoed artist alludes to the portraits of Warhol made by painter Alice Neel and photographer Richard Avedon soon after Warhol was shot and critically wounded in his studio in 1968.

Schnabel gave this portrait to Warhol, who kept it in his collection until his death. In return, Schnabel received several portraits that Warhol had done of him. The two artists admired each other’s work and shared the view that imagery drawn from popular culture can be a source for art.”

Agathe Snow - Three (Cross With Balloons) - Contemporary Art

Three (Cross With Balloons)

2007
Mixed-media sculpture - materials include balloons, found objects, cloth, wood, concrete and wire mesh
320 x 216 x 80 cm
New Yorker Agathe Snow’s approach to art is more a way of life than a studio practice, informed by personal circumstance, travel, current events, counter-culture, and a drive to engage with and stamp her imprint on the world at large. Often using objects she’s found on the street her sculptures reconfigure the detritus of everyday life as deliriously apocalyptic monuments of societal breakdown. In Three (Cross With Balloons), Snow’s crucified effigy towers with effete comic horror. Mounted in mud, wrapped in cling film, and bound with a noose, her suburban victim is adorned, adulated and ridiculed with party hat and balloons, a pair of Converse All- Stars dangling from its death rood like a public notice of crime committed.
