ANDY WARHOL, biographie de l'artiste Andrew Warhola (6 août 1928 au 22 février 1987), connu sous le nom d'Andy Warhol, était un artiste américain et une figure centrale dans le mouvement artistique du Pop art. Après une carrière réussie en tant qu'illustrateur commercial, Warhol est devenu célèbre dans le monde entier pour son travail en tant que peintre, réalisateur de films avant-gardistes, producteur de musique et auteur. Warhol a été le sujet de nombreuses expositions rétrospectives, de livres et de documentaires depuis sa mort en 1987. La première exposition Pop art solo d'Andy Warhol a été accueillie à la galerie Eleanor Ward's Stable de New York, du 6 au 24 novembre 1962. C'est au cours des années 1960 que Warhol a commencé à faire des peintures iconiques de produits américains tels que Campbell's Soup Cans de la Campbell Soup Company et les bouteilles Coca-Cola, ainsi que des tableaux de célébrités telles que Marilyn Monroe, Troy Donahue, et Elizabeth Taylor.
The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts - Andy Warhol Biography More than twenty years after his death, Andy Warhol remains one of the most influential figures in contemporary art and culture. Warhol’s life and work inspires creative thinkers worldwide thanks to his enduring imagery, his artfully cultivated celebrity, and the ongoing research of dedicated scholars. His impact as an artist is far deeper and greater than his one prescient observation that “everyone will be world famous for fifteen minutes.” His omnivorous curiosity resulted in an enormous body of work that spanned every available medium and most importantly contributed to the collapse of boundaries between high and low culture. A skilled (analog) social networker, Warhol parlayed his fame, one connection at a time, to the status of a globally recognized brand. Decades before widespread reliance on portable media devices, he documented his daily activities and interactions on his traveling audio tape recorder and beloved Minox 35EL camera.
Andy Warhol’s Art of Self-Promotion | A Piece of Work I’m standing in front of Andy Warhol's, Campbell's Soup Cans, and it's a series of, it's eight by four, so there's eight of the same ... they're not the same, now that I'm looking. They're all different types of soup, which I'm so relieved by. I've got to say, I walked in here and I actually thought that they were just prints? Are they? Let me walk over to the thing. Abbi: More than 50 years ago, in 1962, Andy Warhol debuted Campbell's Soup Cans in his first solo exhibition at the Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles. Visitor: When I was young, I was living in Antibes and we ate Campbell’s Soup at that time, in the 50s so I wouldn’t thought ever that this would be a multi-million piece of art in the MoMA in NY but there it is. Visitor: Marketing is different, it’s another kind. Visitor: I mean since a lot of people have said this is art, most people think it is art but it’s not. I’m Abbi Jacobson and this is A Piece of Work. The line between art and … and stuff, is fascinating to me. Abbi: Oh yeah.
Peut-on réduire le théâtre à un échange de paroles ? [Amorce] « Je ne fais pas de littérature. Je fais une chose tout à fait différente ; je fais du théâtre », dit Ionesco dans Notes et contre-notes. On sent là son mépris pour une valeur pourtant reconnue : le texte. La parole dans la parole. [Transition] La prépondérance de la parole au théâtre est évidente, soulignée parfois par des mises en scène minimalistes (scène vierge de tout décor). Antonin Artaud attire l’attention sur le danger d’un théâtre qui oublierait le rôle de la représentation.
Andy Warhol 1928–1987 Andy Warhol (; born Andrew Warhola; August 6, 1928 – February 22, 1987) was an American artist, director and producer who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity culture, and advertising that flourished by the 1960s, and span a variety of media, including painting, silkscreening, photography, film, and sculpture. Some of his best known works include the silkscreen paintings Campbell's Soup Cans (1962) and Marilyn Diptych (1962), the experimental film Chelsea Girls (1966), and the multimedia events known as the Exploding Plastic Inevitable (1966–67). Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Warhol initially pursued a successful career as a commercial illustrator. Warhol has been the subject of numerous retrospective exhibitions, books, and feature and documentary films.
Why Is Andy Warhol Still So Famous? Then a friend suggested that he paint an everyday object, such as a can of soup. Within a year, he’d settled upon his signature technique of reproducing a photograph as a silk-screen stencil, and turning a stolen image into a kind of painting. The results were infinitely repeatable, and when the screen clotted with paint, imperfect duplication made for variations. “You get the same image, slightly different each time. It was all so simple—quick and chancy,” Warhol later wrote. In her essay for the catalog, Donna De Salvo, the curator of the Whitney exhibition, proposes that understanding the shift means appreciating that his 1950s period was “foundational.” Up to 1962, when a show at the Stable Gallery made Warhol famous, his is a Cinderella story (I say this without irony) and quite moving. Warhol ramped up his output, thanks to more liberal use of assistants.

Take a Look at These Rarely Seen Andy Warhol Photos Andy Warhol brought his camera with him everywhere he went — first a Polaroid, and then his treasured 35-millimeter compact Minox. “Having a few rolls of film to develop gives me a good reason to get up in the morning,” he said. In his lifetime, he produced nearly 130,000 images with the Minox alone, only 17 percent of which had been printed at the time of his death. Like other major artists of the 1960s, including Warhol’s contemporary, Robert Rauschenberg, he was creating a new visual language from a photographic vocabulary, long before the art world understood the significance of the medium. Warhol’s preoccupation with photography is a meaty subject for a show. That show is “Andy Warhol Photography: 1967-1987,” which highlights the artist’s photographic output with a range of gelatin silver prints that record the most ordinary moments in his random daily activities, as well as his Polaroid portraits, still-lifes and nudes, filling both of Jack Shainman gallery’s Chelsea locations.
Duane Hanson : un sculpteur hyperréaliste | Histoire de l'art collective Duane Hanson with Football Player, 1984 Duane Hanson, sculpteur américain affilié au courant hyperréaliste naît en 1925 à Alexandria dans la Minnesota. Dès son plus jeune âge, Hanson entretient un rapport de fascination à la matière. Très tôt il réalise des sculptures à l’aide de divers matériaux – tels que le bois, le polyester ou encore le bronze – qu’il délaisse progressivement au profit de la résine de polyester et de la fibre de verre qu’il utilise ensuite jusqu’à la fin de sa vie. Mort en 1996 des suites d’un cancer provoqué par l’usage de ces matériaux nocifs, Hanson remporte au cours de sa carrière un grand succès couronné de nombreux prix. Il a par ailleurs eu une importante influence sur toute une génération de sculpteurs hyperréalistes tel que Ron Mueck. Le life casting : prélever le réel ?

There’s Still No Escaping Andy Warhol The show hits the most famous points—the Marilyns and the Elvises, the Jackies and the Maos, the Brillo boxes and the “Cow Wallpaper”—and some that are lesser known, such as precocious drawings from Warhol’s youth in his home town of Pittsburgh, of a mortal career that ended with his death, at the age of fifty-eight, in 1987, from complications of gall-bladder surgery. The hundreds of items can provide only a sample of a prodigious output of paintings, drawings, sculptures, prints, posters, advertising illustrations, photographs, films, videos, audios, writings, publications, and deathless ephemera. (Warhol made more than six hundred boxed time capsules of whatever had accumulated in the Factory, his studio that was housed first on East Forty-seventh Street, then on Union Square West, and, finally, just up the street at 860 Broadway. The one that has been disgorged at the Whitney, from 1974, as good as broadcasts the heat and noise of a frenetic communal enterprise.)
