CPANDA: The Case of the Sensation Art Exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, 1999 -- Background of the Controversy In September 1999, the Brooklyn Museum hosted the "Sensation" show, an exhibition of contemporary British art taken from the private collection of advertising mogul Charles Saatchi. This exhibition included the work of a number of young artists, and was previously shown two years earlier at The Royal Academy of Arts in London.

Online NewsHour: The Art of Controversy -- October 8, 1999 After a report on "Sensation," a controversial exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, a museum director and a culture critic debate. Fully titled, "Sensation: Young British Artists from the Saatchi Collection," and carrying a mock health warning, the show features 90 works from the collection of British advertising magnate Charles Saatchi. Today, a federal court in Brooklyn heard the museum's plea for an injunction to block the city's actions against its lease and funding until the entire exhibition issue is resolved. www.pbs.org /newshour/bb/entertainment/july-dec99/art_10-8.html   (1785 words)

A review of the 'Sensation' exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts 'Sensation' was not a collaborative effort, it was a selection from a collection, and therefore one cannot simply generalise or tar everything with the same brush. I have now discussed the worst and the best of 'Sensation' and should make it clear that I think Hirst and Whiteread are not just the best of this show but probably the major artists of this generation. With eight pieces on show Damien Hirst is the best represented artist in 'Sensation' and as he is the central figure in the YBA movement this is fitting. pubs.socialistreviewindex.org.uk /isj79/molyneux.htm   (6709 words)

Salon Arts & Entertainment True "Sensation" By the way, the "Sensation" catalog clearly states that "the exhibition has received no city, state or federal funding." The museum itself "is supported in part by the City of New York" -- the taxpayers, not the mayor -- "for the maintenance, security and staffing of this City-owned building." Once again, had Giuliani gone to see "Sensation," he would have come across another engaging Ofili canvas called "Afrodizzia." With its multi-hued, rhythmic swirls of paint and shiny pins, "Afrodizzia" features lots of little pictures of black men wearing afros. Before offending us all with his own bullshit, Giuliani might have troubled himself to learn about the sacred nature of pachyderms and their dung in other parts of the world. www.salon.com /ent/feature/1999/10/02/dung   (655 words)

Art Journal: The freeze generation and beyond - installation art, various artists, Royal Academy of Arts, London, England In fact, "Sensation" was another installment in what Damien Hirst began ten years ago in 1988, when he staged the tripartite student exhibition "Freeze" (eponymously named after his early cow-and-formaldehyde piece) in the Southeast London Port Authority Building. What the exhibition conveyed best was the reality of the explosion of artistic energy and ambition coming out of Goldsmiths College and other London art schools during the eighties and early nineties. Perhaps the most pertinent discomfort the exhibition provoked was not caused by the works themselves but by the cozy relationship that underlay the whole event. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m0425/is_3_57/ai_53286462   (655 words)

Young British Artists - the free encyclopedia A major exhibition at the Royal Academy of Art in 1997 called Sensation, (containing much of his personal collection, and also shown in Berlin and New York) in some senses brought the initial period of the Young British Artists to an end: they had arrived as part of the establishment. The work of the group was dubbed Britart, the phrase being attributed to a series of exhibitions organised at the Saatchi Gallery in 1990/1. One of the visitors to Freeze was Charles Saatchi, the notorious contemporary art collector and co-founder of Saatchi and Saatchi, the London advertising agency. www.world-knowledge-encyclopedia.com /?t=YBA   (655 words)

[No title] The exhibition, held in a disused building that was currently due for re-development amongst the larger development of Docklands itself, was curated by their fellow student, and later art-superstar and media sensation, Damien Hirst. Freeze had an impact, it seems, because not only were the included artists still students but also because of the very way in which the exhibition itself was packaged. This exhibition was held in place of the usual Aperto at the Venice Biennale which was cancelled in 1995. members.lycos.co.uk /exposuremagazine/yba.html   (655 words)

[[[[[[[- ART CRIME -]]]]]]] The closure of the exhibition also preceeded the axing of the Sensation exhibition which was to be held two years later at the National Gallery of Australia. The closure of the exhibition effectively awarded the attackers a victory in removing the work from public view and caused much debate about censorship and freedom of expression. In a move almost as controversial as the work and the attacks themselves, the director of the gallery, Dr Timothy Potts subsequently closed the exhibition in order, he claimed to protect the saftey of the gallery and its staff. www.renewal.org.au /artcrime/pages/serrano.html   (587 words)

Sex and dung - it's Turner time Mr Saatchi owns work by both her and Mr Ofili and showed them in last year's Sensation exhibition at the Royal Academy.

UT Feature Story -- Mas al Sur: Expansive and eclectic Latin American art collections draw from far south of the border Covarrubias came to the U.S. from Mexico City in 1923 when he was not yet 20 years old, and he was an immediate sensation. The exhibition marks the centennial of Covarrubias’ birth, and it draws attention to Covarrubias not simply as caricaturist, but as a renaissance artist. The exhibition is drawn from the center’s Nickolas Muray Collection of Mexican Art and features more than 90 works by Covarrubias and other artists in Covarrubias’ circle, including Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera and Rufino Tamayo. www.utexas.edu /features/archive/2004/latinart.html   (1556 words)

Flower Power by Douglas Lloyd Jenkins New Zealand Listener An exhibition of work by florist and homemaker Constance Spry has thrown the UK's design community into a flurry of name-calling that seems to threaten the future of London's Design Museum. It is ironic that Terrence Conran should fall out with his own museum over a Constance Spry exhibition. However, when the museum's latest show, the Constance Spry exhibition A Millionaire for a Few Pence, opened in September, some of the museum's founding fathers could see the future of their "boys and toys" museum slipping from their hands. www.listener.co.nz /printable,2969.sm   (1556 words)

Deleuze/Francis Bacon excerpt Francis Bacon: The Logic of Sensation is a remarkable text in which Gilles Deleuze (1925–1995), one of the most original French philosophers of the twentieth century, confronts the work of Francis Bacon (1909–1992), one of the most original painters of that century. Deleuze undoubtedly encountered Bacon’s work at some point at an exhibition in Paris—in a later interview, Deleuze says that he frequently went to art exhibitions and films on weekends, on the lookout for precisely this kind of “encounter.” The book itself attests to the profound resonances Deleuze found between his own work and Bacon’s paintings. It was the Grand Palais exhibition of 1971 in Paris that had cemented Bacon’s international reputation, and the exhibition at the Galerie Claude Bernard in 1977 further solidified his position in the late 1970s. www.upress.umn.edu /excerpts/Deleuze.html   (6028 words)

ART / 4 / 2DAY For Malevich, the guiding principle of Suprematism was “the supremacy of pure sensation in creative art,” best represented by the square, which he considered the most elementary, basic, and thus supreme formal element; but he increasingly combined the square with the circle, other geometric shapes, and even curved lines. The figures have been called a continuation of the genre types Malevich portrayed in his Neo-primitive paintings, their depiction seemingly reliant on Fernand Léger’s work, which Malevich could have known from an exhibition in Moscow in February 1912 or through reproductions. In 1919–20, he was given a solo show at the Sixteenth State Exhibition in Moscow, which focused on Suprematism and other non-objective styles. h42day.0catch.com /art/art4may/art0515.html   (8392 words)

Artists Network of Refuse & Resist! "Yo Mama's Last Supper" has Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani squaring off against the Brooklyn Museum of Art, just as he did in 1999 when he tried unsuccessfully to shut down the "Sensation" exhibition that included a painting of the Virgin Mary decorated with elephant dung. Giuliani, who called for a commission to set decency standards for art on display in public museums after learning about the Brooklyn exhibition, continued to take aim at the photograph yesterday, noting that it was on display in a museum that, like virtually every other museum in New York City, receives money from City Hall The work depicts a revised version of the Last Supper, with Renee, nude, portraying Christ at the center of the table surrounded by her disciples who are portrayed by 12 Black men, many of them noted artists and musicians. www.artistsnetwork.org /news/yomama.html   (8392 words)

The Battle of Brooklyn The chaotic nature of the debate over the "Sensation" exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum of Art must not obscure the two big issues involved. To be sure, many citizens of conscience find parts of the Brooklyn exhibition repugnant, and it is understandable that many Roman Catholics would find Chris Ofili's image of the Virgin Mary offensive. A museum is obliged to challenge the public as well as to placate it, or else the museum becomes a chamber of attractive ghosts, an institution completely disconnected from art in our time. dh.ryoshuu.com /press/19991002_c.html   (506 words)

Art in America: The Battle of Brooklyn Ends, the Controversy Continues - Brooklyn Museum of Art The court fight is over, but the consequences of the crisis provoked by the Brooklyn Museum of Art's recent "Sensation" exhibition are just beginning to take shape. In federal court, the Brooklyn Museum of Art turned "Sensation" into a First Amendment triumph, but the crisis now prompts sharp questions about "standard" museum funding practices. Anytime museums come under the kind of scrutiny that occurred in Brooklyn, it inevitably frays the public trust that museums enjoy. www.findarticles.com /cf_dls/m1248/6_88/62685208/p1/article.jhtml   (1202 words)
