Frank GehryGUEST
I mean, some of them, you know, they won't say things about it.
Frank GehryGUEST
If you remember, Ellsworth Kelly said something in Chicago about it.
Frank GehryGUEST
What did he say? Well, I was talking about this issue in one of your shows in Chicago, and I said that the artists won't talk about it because...
Frank GehryGUEST
Their patronage is the museum.
Bobby CapucciHOST
The Black family donated $48 million toward the construction of the Visual Arts Center, which opened in 2012 as a Lebanon Street entrance to the campus and the face of the college's arts district, which now includes multi-million dollar renovations and expansions of the Hood Museum and the Hopkins Center for the Arts.
Bobby CapucciHOST
Black also commissioned and donated Dartmouth panels, a set of five vertical panels by celebrated artist Ellsworth Kelly that hang on the back wall of the Hopkins Center opposite the visual arts building.
Bobby CapucciHOST
Who cares? Great, good for him.
Bobby CapucciHOST
And if he was a decent dude who wasn't a scumbag, awesome.
EricHOST
Barbara Anderson and Kate Fauvell are both very scrappy, but they go about their scrappiness in very different ways.
EricHOST
Barbara is not an artist, but because she's so scrappy and she has this wonderful power of persuasion, she has been able to build a community that really helps New York artists thrive.
EricHOST
And she does that with her organization called Art on the Ave. Kate is an artist, and she's part of Art on the Ave. She's also a born and raised New Yorker, and she walked away from her job to pursue art full-time in New York City.
EricHOST
And that alone is very scrappy.
EricHOST
She's also a full-time mom and has sole custody of her eight-year-old daughter.
EricHOST
Now, the Ghost Army was 1,100 people.
EricHOST
but it was a special group of people.
EricHOST
It was a group of artists, creatives, Sculptors, architects, sound engineers, fashion designers.
Emily WilsonHOST
Gamine talked about noticing how people in the galleries sometimes responded to abstract art.
Gamynne GuillotteGUEST
We love our fantastic Ellsworth Kelly galleries that were hung so minutely and pristinely by Ellsworth before he passed.
Gamynne GuillotteGUEST
But I would watch visitors kind of poke their heads into those galleries, look around a little bit, and then walk right back out again, because there was nothing sort of sticky for them there to hold them in those spaces, including even seating.
Gamynne GuillotteGUEST
And so really thinking like, what do visitors need to find a way in to the work, first and foremost? And then how do we humanize the artists involved? Because so often, I think certainly with this kind of highly conceptual work, it's hard to see the human mind and human hand behind it.
Isaac ButlerGUEST
Do you know what I mean? It's the first kind of...
Isaac ButlerGUEST
Ellsworth Kelly as a photograph, I guess you could say.
Isaac ButlerGUEST
And so, and I'm so happy to be on a podcast where I can make an Ellsworth Kelly reference.
Isaac ButlerGUEST
You sure can.
Isaac ButlerGUEST
Bonus
Anika GuntrumGUEST
You know, a lot of them have traditionally appealed to British collectors.
Josh BaerHOST
But here's something that I've noticed from traveling more and more around the world of being in the Middle East and being in Asia a lot is we have this presumption that Ellsworth Kelly, for instance, means the same thing in Doha than it means in Shanghai, than it means in London, than it means in New York.
Josh BaerHOST
And I think they don't.
Josh BaerHOST
And that, to me, is kind of an interesting thing.
Timothy TaylorGUEST
Do I think that they came—no, I think it was just a kind of perfect meeting of a number of different scenarios.
Josh BaerHOST
But back to last night a little bit, there was a certain amount of more American works that were suddenly in London, like de Kooning and Ellsworth Kelly, as part of this collection.
Josh BaerHOST
They seemed to perform less well.
Josh BaerHOST
Would they have done better in New York? Did it tell a story?
Luke BurbankHOST
His clients often tipped him in cocaine.
Luke BurbankHOST
LAUGHTER And he liked to compare his technique to the works of Picasso and Ellsworth Kelly, big, bold, and brash, as he wrote in his book, Die, a memoir of art, music, faith, family, and hair color.
Elena PassarelloHOST
He should have gone with, are they died yet? That's right,
Sam RobertsGUEST
are they died yet? I like that.
Jack MarshGUEST
I mean, when you have in-- So there's someone called Elsworth Kelly I always talk about 'cause I, I'm in San Francisco a bit as well.
Jack MarshGUEST
Um- There's like a picture of El- one of some of Ellsworth Kelly's pictures, and Ellsworth Kelly is a artist in the 1960s who creates-- He basically takes abstract art of Pollock and others to, like, the craziest Nth degree, eliminates all human aspect to it, and it's literally just a canvas of-
Bruno MarnetteHOST
Mm-hmm
Jack MarshGUEST
... red and blue and green and yellow on the wall.
