	Ike Williams (boxer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Williams, for part of his career, was managed by the nefarious Blinky Palermo.
		Palermo informed him he could resolve his problems with the guild, and Williams agreed to let Palermo manage him.
		Williams testified before the Kefauver Commission that Palermo did not arrange for him to throw any fights, but that he robbed him of his purses.

		Palermo was born in 1943 as Peter Schwarze; then, after being adopted, his surname was changed to Heisterkamp.
		Indeed Palermo's work can be seen as exemplifying an important transition from the Romantic concept of art (as a vessel for transcendent meaning) maintained by his teacher Beuys, to the materialist concept of art (as a response to mundane visual culture) proposed by his fellow students Sigmar Polke and Gerhard Richter.
		For Fenster I (Window I, 1970) Palermo transferred the outline of the mullions in the glass shopfront of a Bremerhaven gallery on to the exhibition wall as a graphic grid, thus combining analytic precision with the wistful gesture of capturing a shadow.

		Blinky Palermo's art - made from scraps of fabric and warped timber - was a mess.
		The Unexpected Death of Blinky Palermo in the Tropics is the title of a typically blustering painting by Julian Schnabel, which fed the Palermo myth (founded on the idea that Palermo was an "artist's artist") and didn't do Schnabel's reputation any harm either.
		Aura, in Palermo's case, might well be seen as a necessary adjunct to his work, which is humorous and devious, but also reticent and spare.

		Palermo left us with four distinct bodies of work, and as different as they may look on the surface, they have in common an abstraction that is always saturated with the marks of its time.
		Palermo offers us an endless play of optical and mental flicker, signs of a painter protesting both the constraints of modernist criticism and the then current "dematerialization of art." The metal pictures are thus resonant of their time.
		Palermo attended many of these events, including one that involved the manipulation of a long copper rod wrapped in felt (that performance was famously interrupted when an audience member punched Beuys in the nose).

		Notably, Palermo applied his acrylic paint to thin aluminum panels rather than to canvas, disqualifying reference to the weave of a fabric support without diminishing the effect of color-bearing paint.
		Palermo's decision to use the same three hues throughout the work as a whole gave him the foundation for a set of combinations with which to set forth a controlled permutational color scheme.
		Instead they participate in the experience of observing unenclosed, resonating hues that—despite a deliberate allusion to the colors of the German flag—"float and breathe in the space of the gallery,"2 having escaped referential responsibility and subjugation to the strictures of formal delineation.

		Palermo's art, surprisingly, turns out to be both monkish and funky.
		One might say Palermo didn't live long enough to sort out the conflicts in his art, though perhaps the conflicted is preferable to the smug, sorted, ironed-out art career - one of the major pains in the butt of our time.
		Palermo went on to make numerous works "in situ", directly on the walls of galleries and other institutions.

	Kultureflash - Headlines from London
		German artist, Blinky Palermo, may be unfamiliar to many, but in artworld circles he has long stood as a mythical figure as elusive as the name he appropriated from an infamous American gangster and boxing promoter.
		Palermo's remarkable body of work, made in only 15 years before his death at 33, has been considered practically problematic due to its extreme fragility, and conceptually ambiguous because of his extraordinary diversity of style and means.
		With his fabric paintings, horizontal bands of coloured material are stitched-together, fusing the impersonal precision of minimalism with the emotional impact of Rothko's colour fields.

		In a short creative period of around 15 years, the artist Palermo (1943-1977) left behind a body of works that has remained current to this day in its presence and intensity.
		During this period, Palermo pursued a concentration of his painting by reducing and minimalizing the means of expression to the element of color.
		In seeking to break down the boundaries of the format and overcome the notion of painting as merely a carrier of an image, Palermo succeeded in integrating and illustrating formal demands and subjective perception in a complex aesthetic process.

		Palermo had switched to Joseph Beuys' class in 1964 and, although he was associated with Richter and Polke during these early years, the work he created was almost impervious to the artistic movements surrounding him.
		Palermo's work of the 1960s is steeped in the 'poetical idea' of Beuys, where the art object is beyond language, and above analysis.
		Palermo experimented with the constructive principles of compositional order, as well as with how color could instill an object with immaterial level of meaning.

		This low-key but illuminating show amounts to a print retrospective of the German artist Blinky Palermo, who died in 1977 at the age of 34.
		The Beuys connection becomes clearest if one remembers that Palermo's graphic images are often distillations of larger paintings he conceived for architectural settings.
		The broken numerals, for example, were once painted directly on the wall, and a step-shaped bar moving across an olive-green field in the screenprint "Treppenhaus" (1970) traced the pattern of a staircase railing.

	Maverick Arts - Charles Giuliano
		There are complex questions as to why Palermo pursued reductive, abstract art, in a Constructivist/ Suprematist manner, in apparent contradiction to the, “social sculpture,” of Beuys, and the complex media and imagery of Richter, Polke and others of the Dusseldorf school.
		In her essay, “Blinky Palermo or the Vitality of Abstraction,” Moure discusses the specifics of the nature of the abstraction of Palermo as not a reduction from more complex forms or a distillation from nature.
		The notion is Palermo as more, “elementary.” He is discussed as the most pliant and docile of the Beuys students, which makes interesting comparisons to Richter and Polke who are less firmly connected to Beuys.

	The ballad of Blinky Palermo: he was a student of Joseph Beuys, an early cohort of Sigmar Polke and Gerhard Richter, ...
		Palermo's ethereal yet robustly painted early-to-mid-'60s canvases (both on and off the stretcher), with their intuitively placed squares, stripes and rectangles, and his eccentrically shaped and color-taped objects leaning against a wall or flying high, salon-style, near a cornice still pack a punch.
		At Dia:Beacon, Palermo's work hangs near that of his teacher, Joseph Beuys, as well as his peers, notably Gerhard Richter and Imi Knoebel, members of an original group that helped form the Dia esthetic as it incubated in the late '60s and early '70s.
		Palermo was one of the original "Beuysritteren," or knights of Beuys (a term used contemporaneously by another Beuys student, Jorg Immendorff, whose unabashedly figurative work is notably not on view at Dia), and something of the exalted mood in and around Beuys's class at the Dusseldorf Kunstakademie still clings to that designation.
