Self - Art Critic and Writer
Шедевр эпохи Возрождения или самая немыслимая афера арт-сообщества? Фильм рассказывает поразительную историю картины «Спаситель мира». Цена произведения искусства взлетает до рекордных 450 миллионов долларов после известия о том, что работа может принадлежать кисти Леонардо да Винчи.
Jackson Pollock said, “he makes the rest of us look academic,” Mark Rothko acknowledged him as a “myth-maker” and Clement Greenberg called him “a highly influential maverick and an independent genius.” Clyfford Still, one of the strongest, most original contributors to abstract expressionism, walked away from the commercial art world at the height of his career. Extremely disciplined, principled, and prolific, Still left behind a treasure trove of works like no other major artist in history. With a wonderful mosaic of archival material, found footage and audio recorded by the artist himself, Lifeline paints a picture of a modern icon, his uncompromising creative journey and the price of independence.
Петляя по лабиринтам современного арт-мира, фильм «Всему есть цена» исследует роль искусства и подлинного артистизма в обществе потребления. Среди героев - коллекционеры, дилеры, организаторы аукционов и широкий спектр художников, от видных фигур нынешнего рынка, таких как Джефф Кунс, Герхард Рихтер и Нджидика Акуниили Кросби, до бывшей звезды арт-небосклона Ларри Пунса. Картина вскрывает глубокие противоречия современного общества и исследует законы, формирующие цены на бесценное.
Unlike any art movie you've ever seen, Making it in Manhattan is informed 'entertainment' about the people who make contemporary art. Artists, collectors, and dealers bring to life the art capital of the world, New York, as it plunges into the 21st Century. Presenting a cross-section of artists, the film discusses inspiration, aesthetics, and the meaning of success. With Louise Bourgeois, Brice Marden, Chuck Close, Neil Jenney, Elizabeth Murray, Ashley Bickerton, Gary Simmons, Ursula von Rydingsvard, Rirkrit Tiravanija, St. Clair Cemin, Ivan Karp, Jay Gorney, Matthew Marks, Jerry Saltz, Herb & Dorothy Vogel, and others. From abstraction to figuration, from installation to conceptual art, from the privacy of the doctor's office to the posh gallery opening, Making it in Manhattan captures the reality of a special world. Music by Tom Waits, Don Braden Ryuichi Sakamoto, George van Eps, Piero Umiliani with Chet Baker.
