Gagosian Gallery New York is presenting “Avedon 100” to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Richard Avedon’s (1923-2004) birth, a leading figure in 20th-century American fashion photography.

The exhibition features photographs of Avedon’s six-decade career selected by more than 150 celebrities from various fields- artists, designers, musicians, writers, curators, and fashion industry professionals. Avedon was most influential for his work as a fashion photographer and pioneering photographic aesthetics, but his works include crucial portraits in advertising, politics, and protests. He related with various people, and the selectors of his photographs share their memories about Avedon.

Highlights of the exhibition include a portrait of Marilyn Monroe dancing(1957), an Audrey Hepburn portrait(1967), and a Hillary Clinton portrait(2003). The Metropolitan Museum of Art is also running the Avedon exhibition, on view through coming October.

Turner Prize Winner Helen Cammock’s First Us Exhibition in Los Angeles

헬렌 카목(Helen Cammock, b. 1970)은 2019년 터너 상을 공동 수상한 영국의 예술가로, 영화, 사진, 인쇄물, 시, 노래, 퍼포먼스를 활용해 흑인, 여성, 억압과 저항, 부와 권력, 빈곤과 취약성에 관한 기존의 서술 방식을 문제시한다. 그는 시간과 지역을 넘나들며 여러 목소리를 겹겹이 쌓고 역사의 순환적인 속성을 조사한다.

로스앤젤레스의 비영리 전시 공간 A+P(Art + Practice)는 카목의 미국 첫 전시 “나는 내 영혼을 지킬 것입니다 (I Will Keep My Soul)”를 8월 5일까지 선보인다. 카목은 2022년 1월 뉴올리언스를 방문해 지역의 사회사, 지리, 공동체를 관찰한 것을 바탕으로 이번 전시를 꾸렸다.

특히, 1976년 뉴올리언스의 도시 공공 프로젝트로 루이 암스트롱(Louis Armstrong, 1901-1971) 조각상을 제작한 예술가 엘리자베스 캐틀렛(Elizabeth Catlett, 1915-2012)의 기록을 통해 예술가로서의 고민과 활동가로서의 고민을 병행하는 일에 관해 이야기한다.

Helen Cammock (b. 1970), co-winner of the 2019 Turner Prize, is a British artist who uses film, photography, print, poetry, song, and performance to challenge conventional narratives about blackness, womanhood, oppression and resistance, wealth and power, poverty and vulnerability. She works across time and regions, layering multiple voices and investigating the cyclical nature of history.

Currently, A+P (Art + Practice), a non-profit exhibition space in Los Angeles, is presenting Cammock’s first exhibition in the United States, “I Will Keep My Soul”, on view through August 5. The artist visited New Orleans in January 2022 and has made the exhibitions based on her observations in the city, its social history, geography, and community.

Cammock focuses on the records of New Orleans artist Elizabeth Catlett (1915-2012), who created a sculpture of Louis Armstrong (1901-1971) as a public project in New Orleans in 1976. Through Catlett’s story, Cammock asks how to be an artist and activist—and free.

Sotheby’s Purchased the Breuer Building from Whitney Museum

On June 1, the auction house Sotheby’s announced that it has purchased the Breuer Building on Madison Avenue from the Whitney Museum of American Art and plans to move its headquarters to Madison Avenue, leaving its current location on York Avenue, beginning in 2025.

Sotheby’s counted the proximity to the thriving galleries of Northeast New York and the improved walkability as benefits of the transfer, which will increase opportunities for the public to view expensive works before they go to private collectors. Sotheby’s Chief Executive Officer Charles F. Stewart said Madison Avenue is a better location for the company’s core clientele and emphasized that inheriting the historic building is meaningful.

The Breuer Building was designed by Bauhaus architect Marcel Breuer (1902-1981) for the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1966 and has been leased by the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Frick Bank since the Whitney moved to the Meatpacking District in 2015. Reportedly, the sale’s value was around $100 million.
