Triple Candie is one of few nonprofit spaces in the city or at least in Manhattan to offer a serious alternative to the market-addled art mainstream. It has done so in a series of exhibitions that have had by traditional standards no art at all and that might even be considered a threat to the very idea of art as the market defines it. A few years ago the gallery mounted career retrospectives of the artists David Hammons and Cady Noland. The first show consisted entirely of photocopies of photographs of Mr. Hammons’s work the second of gallery-made approximations of Ms. Noland’s sculptures. Last year there was a survey of a fictional artist Lester Hayes with all the work cooked up (and later destroyed) by Triple Candie’s directors Shelly Bancroft and Peter Nesbett… But the show suggests when it comes to fully understanding an artist’s work they may have the same use. The proof is in the looking. It is evident from this display of photo reproductions that “The Migration of the Negro” — Lawrence’s full original title — is most effective when seen complete. nly then do you get a sense of its wedding of intimacy and grandeur and of its graphic virtuosity played out in changes of perspective and interaction of symbolic forms. An aerial view of the aisle of the northward-bound train early in the series becomes a low-angle view of the tunnel-like staircase of a labor camp later. Close-up images of cotton plants and bomb blasts function like syllabic stresses in poetry controlling momentum and building tension. And only in the complete series can we fully grasp the sinewy moral texture of art that is in the business of neither easy uplift nor single-minded protest.
The cost of culture
The Age – Dec 28, 2007
Thebooming economy prompted a battle of egos on the auction front asworks by Whiteley Brack Possum and Kngwarreye became the statussymbols du jour. The buying frenzy began to rev up in May when Emily KameKngwarreye’s Earth’s Creation (1995) became the first workby an Aboriginal artist to sell for more than $1 million. TimJennings from Alice Springs’ Mbantua Gallery paid $1. 056 millionfor the work at the Lawson-Menzies Aboriginal Art Auction inSydney. Two months later the record was superseded when theNational Gallery of Australia paid $2. 4 million for CliffordPossum Tjapaltjarri’s sprawling work Warlugulong (1977) atSotheby’s in Melbourne. The gaping chasm between the money to be made on the back ofAboriginal cultural endeavour and the reality of life inremote Aboriginal communities would also become achinglyapparent during the year… It pays though to invest in the real thing as floppy-hairedEnglish actor Hugh Grant showed. Six years ago Grant paid $US3. 6million for an Andy Warhol silk-screen image of Elizabeth Taylor. Last month he sold it at a Christie’s auction in New York for morethan $A23 million ($US21 million) – almost six times what he hadpaid for it and roughly equivalent to his yearly income. Atextbook case of the rich getting richer. The year ended as it began with a flurry of invitations beingsent (dress code: strictly ’70s) to a slurry of Don’sParties (BY slabs) on that fateful election night. Artists’suspected left-wing tendencies were confirmed when actor DavidWenham surely the sexiest “ranga” on the planet appeared on thehustings to support the equally appealing Maxine McKew.
