Modern Art

Nan Goldin at Marian Goodman is worth seeing, if you're into that sort of thing.

the keith haring documentary this week was good, they say he made 10,000+ pieces of art, you could see just how prolific he was during the programme

art for the masses

ah, more matt cartoons for milennials

Nice thread, has moved very slowly since the start which actually made it possible to read (almost) all of it. Is this the place to show off your middle class collection of prints only to be mercilessly scorned by people who really know things about art?

Better you than me.

Don't have the courage just yet. Anyway I thought I might contribute with some Scandi artists. I really like this guy's stuff, Alexander Klingspor:

Slightly different, Hans Arnold:

Simon Stålenhag:

Also, if I ever get really rich I want a copy of 'a map of days' by Grayson Perry. Saw it while waiting for the loo at Balliol college in Oxford a few years ago and completely forgot I needed a piss

These are fun, they make me think of young adult

I have loads of Art Forum/Frieze etc magazines that I want to shift- anyone know if there's a market for selling these easily as a job lot (ideally not eBay) or am I better off just throwing them in the recycling?

Unless you have very early ones, or a complete years / sets it might be hard to sell them for more than a quid or two each. You could ask Marcus Campbell books but I'd be surprised if they offer much or even anything.

Might be nice to ask art colleges / universities if they'd like them for their libraries which would save throwing them in the bin.

Half a decade ago when I graduated, the only work by my peers that interested me was stuff with political agency. Even then it had to be very neutered to avoid offending anyone. There I was asking for more, but finding the majority of peers were rich and boring. Pretty pictures or gtfo.

Now 2020, and major institutions can’t trust that a visitor has half a brain cell.

don't know if this is all one piece but it all works nicely together

I really like Phillip Allen's paintings (particularly this period).
Can anyone recommend some other artist for me to check out that make similar stuff?

Beatriz Milhazes maybe?

Julie Merethu?

Alain Le Yaouanc ...?

Thanks guys, I like Julie Merethu and Alain Le Yaouanc. I'll have a look at them in detail when I get a minute.

Sadly it’s years too late for you, but he was on friendly terms with an antiquarian bookshop owner in Paris (now long gone). Managed to get some signed prints from the bookshop owner but never managed to meet the artist.

Any more recommendations guys? I'm enjoying more painterly stuff right now. Still Allen but also Forrest Bess at the moment.

Possibly the wrong thread but where do people buy paintings or even prints from?

I enjoy (or enjoyed) going out and experiencing art in many of it's different forms, be that galleries or outside stuff or I can't remember the name of the place now but there's a cool old house in Cambridge that an art collector lived in that has been left how it was, all that stuff.

But I'd also like something nice to look at whilst stuck in the house. I obviously can't be buy famous works or anything but surely there must be loads of artists/painters/screen printers/photographers etc... throughout the city churning stuff out - how do you find them or their works?
