Jean-Michel Basquiat: Post-Punk Prodigy HENI Talks 2023-06-06 | Jean-Michel Basquiat was an artist in the most plural sense. Commonly misunderstood as just a 'graffiti artist', or a painter, Basquiat was also a musician, DJ, actor and performance artist.On the occasion of the Barbican's major Basquiat exhibition, which ran between September 2017 and January 2018, curator Eleanor Nairne exposes how Basquiat's multidisciplinary nature springs from his profound engagement with a broad range of source material, from trashy TV, to philosophy, to media representations of black experience.Nairne unpicks some of the fertile references which feature in canvases by the pioneering prodigy of the 1980s downtown New York art scene. She discusses how Basquiat could have brought these disparate sources together to critique and shed new light on the world around him.Could the webs of references which feature in Basquiat's works parallel our contemporary experience of the digital age?#jeanmichelbasquiat #arthistory #punk #graffiti #basquiat

Hard-edged forms and hot colours typify her canvas Palingenesis (1971), the title aptly coming from the Greek for 'rebirth'. But what stimulated the change in style for Krasner?

1 Minute 1 Work | The Sake-drinking Boy by Hishikawa Moronobu #arthistory HENI Talks 2023-05-19 | In the 17th century, an unseen demand for prints and illustrated books, especially of entertaining character, emerged in Japan. Series like ‘The Sake-drinking Boy’ or ‘Shutendôji’ (ca. 1680) by Hishikawa Moronobu were traded widely and found fervent admirers in the print-hungry audience of the upcoming merchant classes. Today, we still marvel at the accomplished usage of line which artist like Moronobu developed during the early stages of the print movement (Ukiyo-e). Shantell Martin, best known for her characteristic black-and-white drawings, tells us the legend behind ‘The Sake-drinking Boy’ and how the storytelling qualities of Moronobu’s line inspired her own work.#japan #drawing #folklore
1 Minute 1 Work | Annunciation after Titian (1973) by Gerhard Richter #arthistory HENI Talks 2023-05-04 | In 1972, Gerhard Richter represented West Germany at the Venice Biennale, showcasing one of his most esteemed series of paintings: ’48 Portraits’. Whilst in Venice, Richter visited the Scuola Grande di San Rocco where he saw Titian’s scintillating ‘Annunciation’, c. 1539. So entranced by the work, he bought a postcard for keepsake. The following year, Richter began to copy the work, not once, not twice, but five times. With each incarnation, Richter’s soft brushstrokes got hazier, the forms of Titian’s canvas descending into a fuzzy near-monochrome of Venetian red. Learn more about Richter’s ardent commitment to Titian’s canvas — and the impossibility of such a painting for our times — with writer Robert Storr.#artist #titian #richter
1 Minute 1 Work | Beautiful People (1988) by David Wojnarowicz #lgbtq HENI Talks 2023-04-27 | David Wojnarowicz believed that drag queens are ‘true revolutionaries’ who colourfully disrupt the ‘visual codes of gender.’ A provocative figure in the New York City art world of the 1980s, Wojnarowicz was a painter, photographer, writer, filmmaker, performance artist and activist.Curator Vincent Honoré narrates the unfolding of Wojnarowicz’ final film Beautiful People (1988). The film, made in collaboration with Jesse Hultberg, follows Hultberg as he makes himself up, leaves the city and disappears – fully clothed – into a lake, the world erupting into technicolour as he does so. Honoré recognises the beauty and socio-political significance of this work, made ‘at the climax of the aids crisis’.#arthistory #film #performance

Isabel Rawsthorne Rediscovered: The Poetry in Things | HENI Talks HENI Talks 2022-08-09 | “We think of Isabel as … this incredibly glamourous figure … but she challenged that fundamental divide between the model and artist … in a way, when she was the subject of Giacometti, of Bacon, she was also an artist." – Carol JacobiDefying expectations, Isabel Rawsthorne (1912 – 1992) made a place for herself amongst contemporaries in early 20th century visual art, ending up at the centre of the Paris avant-garde. Her ingenuity as an artists' model won her the freedom to paint, a vocation she would pursue for 75 years. A lifelong natural historian, Rawsthorne’s ephemeral images are informed by her observations of the language of gesture and movement, from her poetic depictions of animals to her embattled self-portraits. Guided by curator Carol Jacobi, discover artist Isabel Rawsthorne, “a missing link of 20th century art”.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Award-winning documentaries which reveal the stories of art and art history.

Set in Stone: The Story of The British Museums Pediment | HENI Talks HENI Talks 2022-05-06 | Sir Richard Westmacott (1775-1856) was the leading British sculptor of his day. Already involved with questions of display of works in the British Museum’s collection, Westmacott was tasked with the design for sculptures to sit in the pediment on the imposing façade of the institution. Surmounting the main entrance, Westmacott’s sculptures dedicate the museum to culture and civilisation. British Museum Director, Hartwig Fischer, delves into the story and inspiration behind these fascinating sculptures, ‘The Progress of Civilisation’, and uncovers their layered narratives as a gateway to the museum. Filmed in glorious detail via drone, HENI Talks was privileged enough to film the sculptures up close.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Award-winning documentaries which reveal the stories of art and art history.

How to Enjoy Art: Ben Street | HENI Talks HENI Talks 2022-02-04 | 'Every painting has the potential to have a different meaning depending upon who's looking at it. And that is the joy of looking at art.' — Ben Street Art historian Ben Street takes us on a tour of The National Gallery, London, looking at masterworks in the collection by Carlo Crivelli, Hans Memling and Édouard Manet. Rather than using specialist insight to read and decipher the works, Street focuses on a physical encounter with the paintings — arguing that anyone can find value and enjoyment in art without needing to know an abundance of extra historical information.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SUBSCRIBE - Be the first to know when our latest talk is ready. http://bit.ly/YouTube_HENITalksAward-winning documentaries which reveal the stories of art and art history.

Maurizio Cattelan: Comedian | HENI Talks HENI Talks 2021-06-24 | Curator Francesco Bonami unpacks one of the most illustrious artworks of the 21st century, Maurizio Cattelan’s ‘Comedian’. Consisting of a single banana duct-taped to a wall, ‘Comedian’ is a remarkably simple artwork which created an unprecedented sensation when first debuted at Art Basel Miami Beach in 2019. Although priced at $120,000, Bonami argues that the work’s real value is in the philosophy that it creates around objects, suggesting the work prompts us to think ‘more about what art is and what art is supposed to do in your life. Is art a commodity that people just acquire as anything else? Or is art a container of a message, and it doesn’t matter what the container is, the important thing is what it says, and what is conveyed to the viewer.’---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SUBSCRIBE - Be the first to know when our latest talk is ready. http://bit.ly/YouTube_HENITalksAward-winning documentaries which reveal the stories of art and art history.

Clarke and Foster are longtime friends and fruitful collaborators, working together on notable architectural art commissions for locations around the world, including London's Stansted Airport, the Al-Faisaliyah Complex in Riyadh, a landmark work in the development of modern stained glass, and the Palace of Peace and Reconciliation in Kazakhstan. In Foster's words, Clarke “uses buildings as a canvas" and his spectacular stained-glass artworks "impart a wonderful sense of poetry to a space." The conversation was chaired by art critic, curator, and artist Robert Storr, and was recorded on Nov 13, 2020, to celebrate Clarke’s exhibition at the Museum of Arts and Design, New York.To learn more about Brian Clarke, watch ‘Brian Clarke: The Art of Light’: youtube.com/watch?v=a3b4PFS70CUSUBSCRIBE for our latest videos – http://tinyurl.com/HENITalks -----------------------------------------------------Follow HENI on: Web — heni.com/talksInstagram — instagram.com/heni TikTok — tiktok.com/@heni X — twitter.com/heni -----------------------------------------------------Produced by HENI Talks#BrianClarke #NormanFoster #HENITalks

Lauson also gives insight into the artist’s working methods, exploring how Riley hones the patterns of her compositions to give precise optical effect, for ultimately ‘perception itself is the medium that she’s working through’.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Award-winning documentaries which reveal the stories of art and art history.

Gerhard Richter: Doubt | HENI Talks HENI Talks 2020-07-01 | ‘He disturbed my sense of what art should be.’ — Robert Storr on Gerhard RichterCan we really trust in what we see? Gerhard Richter’s oeuvre makes us cast doubt on the given ‘truth’ before our eyes. The artist has spent much of his sixty-year career confronting the nature of images, questioning their means of representation and their degradation. The result is paintings that do not simply depict the often-charged subject matter at hand — like a painting of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in 2011, or of the crematoria at Birkenau — but paintings that depict the mediated circumstances of the representation of that history.As such, one may feel a sense of unease looking at a work by Richter, but as Robert Storr professes: ‘Doubt is not a negative thing. It's something that pulls the rug out from under certainty. But if certainty is what has brought us any number of ideological and political nightmares, maybe less certainty is a good thing.’---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Award-winning documentaries which reveal the stories of art and art history.
