Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Few living persons have served the Metropolitan Museum of Art-indeed, the entire world of art and art museums-longer, or with more distinction, than Roy Neuberger. A man of taste, passion, persistence, and generosity, he has shared much of his great private collection with the public, and for generations has supported activities that bring people to museums, and motivate them to return again and again. Now, this giant of a man has recorded eighty years of his life-and the result is entertaining, illuminating, and, like the tireless gentleman himself, inspiring." -Philippe de Montebello, Director, The Metropolitan Museum of Art Equal to his passion for investing is Roy Neuberger's love for art-which he has collected and encouraged for eight decades. In The Passionate Collector: Eighty Years in the World of Art, you'll follow this fascinating financial figure and great patron of the arts from the streets of 1920s Paris to the museums of New York as he develops the eye of a connoisseur and begins to collect great contemporary art. Vivid detail puts you in the center of the action as Neuberger collects the brilliant artists of his time-Milton Avery, Jackson Pollock, Ben Shahn, Edward Hopper; works with legendary art dealers Paul Rosenberg, Betty Parsons, Sidney Janis, and Leo Castelli; and befriends avid collectors, including the incomparable Duncan Phillips. You'll follow Neuberger as he strives to further the cause of contemporary American artists by exhibiting, lending, and donating from his growing collection, and becoming an activist for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Whitney. You'll also see how the Neuberger Museum of Art was created at the urging of Governor Nelson Rockefeller, and how it continues to fascinate art enthusiasts today. Part personal memoir, part history of art, The Passionate Collector offers a unique view of twentieth-century American art from a man who has lived it.
Download or read book When Modern Was Contemporary written by Tracy Fitzpatrick and published by . This book was released on 2014-06-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roy R. Neuberger (1903-2010) was one of the twentieth century's most important collectors of contemporary art in the United States. When Modern Was Contemporary: The Roy R. Neuberger Collection chronicles his work as collector, donor, and arts advocate, providing new information on a remarkable moment in the history of the development of modern art in the United States. The majority of Neuberger's acquisitions were made from the 1940s through the 1960s, and purchased within a month to a year or two of their execution, reflecting his commitment to support living artists working in the United States, particularly during the formative stages of their careers. Neuberger was not only at the forefront of purchasing works by soon-to-be-canonical artists--including Milton Avery, Alexander Calder, Helen Frankenthaler, Edward Hopper, Georgia O'Keeffe, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Charles Sheeler--but also by Romare Bearden, Forrest Bess, Kenzo Okada, Hedda Sterne, Rufino Tamayo, and others who were less well-known or socially marginalized in their lifetimes and whose work has only been given the attention it deserves in relatively recent scholarship. The collection reflects the diversity of Neuberger's discerning eye and his interest in artists and styles that extended beyond what was commercially popular during the era of their creation, but that have subsequently proved invaluable to our understanding of this period of art and history. When Modern Was Contemporary: The Roy R. Neuberger Collection includes an introduction by Dr. Tracy Fitzpatrick, Chief Curator at the Neuberger Museum of Art and Associate Professor of Art History, Purchase College, SUNY, as well as short essays by additional scholars and researchers on fifty of the most important works in the Roy R. Neuberger Collection, now the cornerstone of the Neuberger Museum, located on the campus of Purchase College, State University of New York. The 276-page hardcover book is fully illustrated in color.
Download or read book Leandro Erlich written by Patrice Giasson and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monographic catalogue accompanies the exhibition Leandro Erlich: Port of Reflections, presented at the Neuberger Museum of Art from February 5 to July 30, 2017. Fully illustrated, the book includes essays by prominent scholars and traces the artist's trajectory through some of his most important projects. Argentine artist Leandro Erlich blends reality and fantasy, the playful and the profound to build architecturally-scaled installations that exceed the bounds of logic, creating uncanny spaces in which multiple realities may coexist. In his dreamlike installation, Port of Reflections, Erlich depicts a serene nighttime harbor in which five colorfully painted rowboats appear to float, gently rocking, as their reflections seemingly shimmer in the dark waters below. His work sparks a sense of wonder as he transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. Erlich is the recipient of the 2017 Roy R. Neuberger Exhibition Prize given to an exceptional artist for an early-career and monographic catalogue.

Book excerpt: KEYNOTE: Offering the first comprehensive look at one of the most exciting young artist working today, this book presents a decade-long survey of Dana Schutz's work. Dana Schutz plumbs the depths of humour and horror, fantasy and reality in her colourful, expressive paintings. This exhibition catalogue features paintings and drawings created by Schutz since 2001. Each of her wildly inventive series is represented, beginning with Frank as a Proboscis Monkey, which wittily depicts the last man on earth, to her current Verb paintings, in which a woman attempts to perform three incongruous activities at once. Schutz's commentary on twenty-first-century politics, celebrity, religion and mores is both absurdist and prescient. Her works are splashed with vibrant colour and enriched with tactile brushwork. Schutz combines traditional technique with innovative content to create ambitious idiosyncratic paintings for our anxious age. Schutz is the recipient of the 2011 Roy R. Neuberger Prize awarded every two years to an artist for an early career survey and monograph. This volume also features an essay by art historian Cary Levine and an interview with the artist by exhibition curator Helaine Posner. AUTHOR: Helaine Posner is Chief Curator and Deputy Director for Curatorial Affairs at the Neuberger Museum of Art in Purchase, New York. She is a co-author of After the Revolution: Women Who Transformed Contemporary Art and The Deconstructive Impulse: Women Artists Reconfigure the Signs of Power (both from Prestel).

Download or read book Pier Paolo Pasolini written by Patrice Giasson and published by . This book was released on 2020-02 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This illustrated book accompanies the exhibition Pier Paolo Pasolini : Subversive Prophet (Neuberger Museum of Art, February 12 to May 31, 2020). Pier Paolo Pasolini (Italian, 1922-1975) is widely known in Europe for his prolific work as a poet, writer, and film director. A true humanist, his interests encompassed literature, art, history, classic tragedy, psychoanalysis, and politics. For Susan Sontag, Pasolini was "indisputably the most remarkable figure to have emerged in Italian arts and letters since the Second World War. Whatever he did once he did it, had the quality of seeming necessary." Outspoken and subversive, Pasolini made no concessions and at times deliberately provoked his contemporaries, either through challenging political articles or through his films. Violently murdered in 1975 under enigmatic circumstances that shocked Italy and intellectual circles worldwide, Pasolini left three decades of artistic production full of complex and rich themes that are as relevant today as they were then: the universal homogenization of society; the dangers of capitalism; excessive consumption; growing inequality between poor and rich; the relegation of the underprivileged to the outskirts of the city; hypocrisy and repression in the social and political spheres.The exhibition opens with artistic homages to Pasolini by two Latin American artists: the Chilean, New York-based artist Alfredo Jaar, and the late Uruguayan artist Antonio Frasconi (a former Purchase College professor). Both artists pay tribute to Pasolini's outstanding work and denounce his assassination in 1975. This first section also explores the reception of Pasolini in the Americas: in Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, and the United States-including his first visit to New York, in 1966. A second and larger gallery is devoted to the powerful creativity of Pasolini, featuring his poetry, novels, paintings, and drawings as well as an introduction to his most important films. The exhibition also showcases original film costumes designed in Rome by Farani, including the one used by Pasolini in The Canterbury Tales, in which he plays the role of Geoffrey Chaucer, the author of the original book by the same title.

Book excerpt: Between 1952 and about 1963 Romare Bearden created a large body of abstract watercolors, oil painting, and collages. Some titled, some not, they range in height from over seven feet to just under three inches. Exhibited with success at the time of their execution, these artworks are little know today, yet they directly inform the collages for which he is now best known and that he begain creating in the mid-1960's, such as Melon Season. This essay is not intended to be biographically comprehensive but rather to establish a chronology for the period during which Bearden produced the abstractions, to fill in missing factual information, and to bookend this decade of his production, front and back. Romare Bearden : Abstraction tells the story of a historically neglected but extraordinary and critically important period of time and body of work. -- from author.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ron Muhlenkamp began investing in the stock market in 1968, just as the bull market of the 1960s was about to run headlong into the bear market of 1973?74 and the stagflation of the 1970s. Decades worth of investment knowledge and conventional wisdom came crashing down, and everything that people thought they knew about stocks and investing quit working. So he began his career by starting from scratch. He studied academic theory and conventional wisdom, but also started asking some fundamental questions. How do you figure out what a company is worth, and how do you know what to pay for it in the stock market? When it comes to investing in stocks and bonds, what works and why? The answers are in Harvesting Profits for Wall Street.

Download or read book Milton Avery s Vermont written by Jamie Franklin and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Milton Avery's Vermont accompanies a summer, 2016 exhibition at the Bennington Museum which takes the first focused look at the work this prominent American modernist created based on six summers of intense activity in southern Vermont between 1935 and 1943. Avery regularly spent his summers traveling with his family in search of new material, and may have been drawn to Vermont by his friend Meyer Schapiro, one of the foremost art historians of the twentieth century. Noted for his simultaneous commitment to exploring the formal, abstract qualities of art and creating representational images drawn from his daily encounters with people and places, Avery captured his family's summer activities and his personal response to the Vermont landscape in works characterized by bold, gestural marks and bright, non-associative colors. Milton Avery's Vermont examines Avery's artistic process through pencil sketches executed en plein air, fresh watercolors based on his sketches, and major oil paintings.
