    Might you explore and make videos around these two truisms:
    1. Warhol: "Art is what you can get away with."
    2. Picasso said variously that, "Bad" and "lesser artists borrow; great artists' steal..." Similarily, Steve Jobs' version of that statement said "Good artists copy. Great artists steal." Those statements have history and relevance in most creative fields.
    Frankly, there is more truth than we care to admit in these statements regardless of their attribution. And in the reality that a lot of contemporary and modern art (and their artists) become (in)famous by their tacit compliance, hunger for recognition, acceptance, and greed by conspiring with "art critics" and galleries which, then as now, are pulling off immoral frauds.
    Thank you.
    P.S. Indulge me saying that the two self-taught artists utteerly undeserving of inclusion in your list are Yoko Ono and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Their works are shite; their resulting fame due entirely to statement one.

      Hi there, thank you for tuning in. Good question, and rightfully so. For our top lists we use an analytical research tool measuring the pertinence of artists in the art world using objective career facts and ranking them accordingly. As a result, longevity is valued strongly, artists with a long-standing track record, hence favoring the slightly older generation of artists. However, half of the list is still active today. And feel free to watch our videos where we showcase young emerging artists. Stay tuned!

    Apart from the fact that Basquiat has always seemed like a total joke to me, this impression is reinforced when one knows how Basquiat's career began. In the 80s painting was pronounced dead. There was a total lull in the galleries. So the big gallery owners in NY got together and then took a graffiti artist out of the gutter and made him a star with money (investment). That's all. Everyone can read about it and there is nothing ingenious or mystical behind it. Behind it is only financial strategy. So with art, this talentless child painting has absolutely nothing to do.In our modern times, the motto in art is: the more banal, the dumber, the more successful.

    • @contemporaryartissue
      @contemporaryartissue  11 місяців тому

      Dear Achim, painting was indeed proclaimed dead in the 80s, illustrated by the article by Douglas Crimp "The End of Painting" published in 1981. And that is exactly why Basquiat and consort are so popular, today, and back in the day. The Neo-Expressionists reinvigorated painting and at the root of it were not the galleries making stars out of nobodies just to annoy us-it was the people who enjoyed seeing the lust and sensual qualities of paint.

      @@contemporaryartissue Dear CAI, I did not write that they wanted to upset us. You can read that,-I don't remember exactly, but wasn't it Gagossian and other colleagues who went looking? It was not about art or giving color to the world, as you beautifully put it, but only about how to make money. Which makes sense, considering that the galleries were pretty empty at the time, because no one bought paintings. So logically, the childish banal painting is not the background, but it was only to make someone big again, to create a direction to earn money. If that is so honest? Well.
