• What Does It Mean That Jeff Koons’ Bunny Just Sold For $91 Million? Anything?

  17-05-2019 23:02 via feedproxy.google.com
  Sebastian Smee: “What the sale of Koons’s “Rabbit” — an auction record for a living artist — is telling us with special force is that the question of valuation is not just about rationality or irrationality. It is, on a deeper level, redundant. It’s redundant because we are in a realm divorced from reality. Intentionally so.” – Washington Post

  “The age of 58 — and whether a member is older or younger — is the generational divide between donors who want more on-demand programs and those who are less likely to know that those programs are even available. It also correlates to how much members are willing to pay and what would inspire them to pay more.” – Current

• What Happens When Site-Specific Art Can’t Be Site-Specific Any More?

  17-05-2019 21:59 via feedproxy.google.com
  “This purist notion of artwork inviolably tied to its context, once a subversive strike against tradition and the marketplace, seems almost quaint now, as artists, dealers, museums and patrons interpret “site-specificity” in ever more elastic ways. The phrase itself has been co-opted as marketing speak in recent years: “site-specific” might even steal the crown from “curated,” the reigning art-world term applied to everything from playlists to pop-up sh

  “I went there a month later, and spent two days trying to access its famed music archives, and mostly just looking around. And at the risk of spoiling any big, revelatory climax, I’ll just tell you: there’s basically nothing in the museum that honestly confronts what went on in Central Africa.” – The Outline

  The UK-Based PledgeMusic owes hundreds of thousands of dollars to artists and labels, many of them independents operating on small margins. An untold number of fans have also been shortchanged, because the projects they invested in remain unfinished, or caught in limbo. “There have been no good outcomes here,” Benji Rogers, a co-founder and former CEO of PledgeMusic, wrote last week in an open letter, “and I cannot bear that something that I created to benefit artists and

• The Guardian view on the Venice Biennale’s migrant boat: pushing the limits of art | Editorial

  17-05-2019 19:25
  Displaying a wreck in which hundreds perished is certainly provocative. But does it really have a place in an exhibition?There is no material so dark that art should not be able to confront it. Art can be beautiful, or serene, or ecstatic; but it can also be disturbing, harsh, or horrifying. Art should alchemise poetry from unexpected ingredients. It should shake our view of the world, and of ourselves. Bad art, by contrast, asks nothing of us.This week, visitors to the newly opened Venice Bienn

Guggenheim Museum in New York, the spurning of Oxy-cash seems to reflect a growing awareness that gifts to the arts and other good causes are not only a way for ultra-wealthy people to scrub their consciences and reputations.

  “Art that cost more than $1 million accounted for 40 percent of the market but just 3 percent of transactions. The disparity is most severe in the contemporary market, where living artists’ work is sold out of art galleries. In 2018, sales from the top 20 living artists accounted for 64 percent of the market. Bigger galleries, the top 5 percent in terms of turnover, accounted for more than 50 percent of sales. Sales at smaller galleries declined over the past few years.” &ndas
