@@jameskalm I think you are right about the alchemy. Maybe that is why they are stored away for so long. The third phase of production. Brave move to storm the Gagosian. Courage be with you!
Dear James thank you very much i enjoyed the art of Schnable and the gagosian gallery booth a lot i always wait and watch your vedios, thank you very much
Excellent! I LOVE your zoom in close ups of the ground (burlap) and paint textures- a real Artist's perspective. So well done. I'd happily follow you thru an exhibit!❤❤❤
And thank you again Kate...feel I should say it every time I come back to look again because I feel grateful for what you do and the way you do it which is like no one else does it which is so useful and meaningful to an artist and the way you talk about art with a truly open mind...I love it...it's like my therapy and my inspiration and real food for thought and reflection.
I just met Mr. Schnabel here in Denver the other day. Just briefly, but he was very nice. He curated the current show at The Clyfford Still Museum here.
Thank you for showing Julian Schnabel exhibition. I am trying to learn as I watch the different techniques. Not getting it, but it is what it is, an expression. - love the music
I find some things interesting, but I don't connect with most of his work. However, I do respect his efforts as an artist and particularly his place in the 1980s Nero-expressionism movement. To be so associated with a period of time and then fight to reinvent yourself and remain current is always difficult, but even more so when you are such a high profile artist. Thanks James and Kate. Also, thank you Gagosian Gallery and Schnabel for being accessible.
I used to think Julian Schnabels paintings were amazing when I was younger and at art school I still think some of his work has the same energy, I liked the large red ones but when you're as successful as he is he can do literally anything he wants and it will be bought whether it fits in your house or not, I just find some of it pretentious nowadays and I don't know why they have to be so ridiculously big, I think he could create the same effect on the same scale as most other artists . I just get the feeling he can do whatever he likes so he doesn't have to worry about what anyone thinks. I do love some of his work but I also hate some of it, I think he's just got it too easy and he's never had to worry about where he's art materials are going to come from he's a multimillionaire so he's not worried about selling them, I'll always like the ones I like but I think it's a bit elitist to have to exhibit in aircraft hangers !
thanks for the close up shots of the paintings. I've seen these paintings in magazines but this is the first time I've seen them really close up. I had no idea that the details of the surfaces would have such a profound effect on how I view them now. even though I find the works charismatic it is only because there are echoes of Tapies, Twombly, Polke...I struggle I don't however think the tarpaulin should ever sag. all stretched canvas should be taut, it is pretty ugly when it sags and the eye strays from the path of painting...
A bit late , but: Ozymandius is a poem by Shelley. Ozymandias is first and foremost a metaphor for the ephemeral nature of political power, and in that sense the poem is Shelley's most outstanding political sonnet, trading the specific rage of a poem like “England in 1819” for the crushing impersonal metaphor of the statue.
man, i really appreciate your work - we'd never see these things if it weren't for you, but please, slow down the camera - we're getting seasick! lol. and one more thing: before you start next time, consider sitting down and taking a breath--you sound like you're running a marathon! bottom line, the visual content and the audio content are stellar!! thanks again mate!
Yes Matthew, I've always contended that paintings have to be engaged with movement, kinda like a dance. To really see a painting it takes movement and time...
absolutely. moving close and moving away etc. the handheld camera can come much closer to replicating the physical viewer experience, i realise. thanks.
I get the undercover vibe, but this is the second video where the security officials ok photography. You might consider some post production time and reconstruct the "photography approved" shows with narration and still photography. Then, return to the undercover trope when in higher security showings. Regardless, keep up the good work! I value your "cultural" takes.
schnabel does a lot of things right. however, for a lot of painters, including me, theres a lot of creedence to what jasper johns said about " do something, do something to that...now do something else." paraphrasing there, but thats the gist. anyway, i think what mr schnabel lacks sometimes is that third part. it works with the plates. it works with his films. but sometimes with his abstract works, you're left waiting for that third part to unravel. maybe it does in time. often it doesn't. for me, Ozymandias is three acts. and the pieces w the white on brown tarpaulin and resin have that too. but half the show is waiting for the auteur to do ONE more thing to them. i still feel his work more than a lot of other painters though. you can feel the searching. a lot of people want the artist to know exactly what they want, to make work from conception, born full on the canvas. why? reding work that was made with an architectural plan so to speak can be rewarding for the first view, but may grow tiresome after further views. i think julian is trying to live in that middle area. he's often successful. he's often not. thats exciting. thats something to learn from.
They are just like ironic comments about nothing. He just shut down logic and paint. Sometines it work. He done that from start - recreates the Humpy Dumpy. An american version of Sigmar Polke. Who win?
I think if he sells that piece that has the old rags on it the money should be donated to an unknown artist so they may get the opportunity not to worry
Thank you SO SO much James Kalm for your FABULOUS videos. They are 1000% perfect! I hope you won't be influenced by the few wide off the mark negative comments here. Please DON'T change anything because your filming is just wonderful! moving over the canvas, close ups etc etc. We are very lucky viewers! a BIG THANK YOU again !!!
always enjoy your videos James......this show was dissapointing. Schnabel not for everyone but these works are weak in my opinion. The best part of the video was the music.....City of the Sun
You know there is cameras real small cheap that they work great for videos and you can hide now I know you like the narrative part but you can do that on a editor real easy
I Simply don’t like these works. Maybe I’m not ready or it’s just the moment but everything seems intentionally “strange” and non-sense. And I can’t understand what’s the point in making them so big except for granting viewers at least one reason of surprise..
AND THEY PUT A GUY LIKE THIS OVER JEAN BASQUIAT WHO WAS A REAL TALENTED ARTIST. THEY NEVER WANT HIS WORK TO BE ACCEPTED IN THE TOP MUSEUMS BECAUSE IT WOULD SHOW UP THE CRAP MOST OF THESE GUYS WAS PRODUCING .
No you're not, I used to do think some of his work was great , i like a lot of his stuff from 2000 but when I look at him these days I just find it overindulgent and pretentious
There is a raw ugliness to some of the Artwork. Not in a bad way. It looks like Dada Art on a large scale. I can't understand why people would buy this art for a million dollars.
Yes this guy is good but not that good :) i seen better or better i seen this work being in the work of others artists. I would never watch his work second time :) i find it boring.
Schnabel emphasized “junky” and minimized genius in his Basquiat movie. But the real insult in the movie was using Schnabel paintings as Basquiafs in said movie, What a clown. PS. Big does not mean sophisticated.
You have to be kidding me. No one, including the artist, understands these splashes of paint on a flat surface. Unless it has some humanitarian interest it is not art. You are being taken for a ride by the so called art critics and the greedy promoters.
i think artwork like this is just hard for some people to understand. when i look at this work i feel nostalgic, and i feel empathetic with the artist.
Schnabel is joke. These works are what you expect to see from an inexperienced kid applying to The Art Institutes. Caught a recent showing of his at PACE---even larger paintings with even less worth. There is no beauty for any eye to behold; only surface, feeble allusion of something authentic, a poor counterfeit.

Thanks for showing work all of us artists can no longer afford to see . Your view is pretty damn good !
Love your videos.....look forward to all of them ❤ 😊
Just felt like saying THANK YOU for your exceptional work!!
You're welcome @Elke Reis ...

I like Julians work a lot !!
Great commentary 👍, overblown , definitely yes.
WE MISS YA JAMES !! STAY HEALTHY!
Thanks @T D. No one wants to get back out to the New York galleries, more than I do...
@@jameskalm We have your wonderful reports to revisit!!! Truly just the best. Thank you.

he obviously likes Antoni Tapies work, big influence to this show i imagine.
Good point!

Beware of shoulds.
Schnabel paintings will go for outrageous amounts just like Basquiat's paintings have when he passes away.
Beautiful
How do you spell charlatan?

Nice sh opportunity
Like your work.

Maybe abstract. m😆

interesting. a video view of paintings is more enlightening than the still photo.

absolutely. moving close and moving away etc. the handheld camera can come much closer to replicating the physical viewer experience, i realise. thanks.
Can I recommend you to view a show in Brooklyn??
if I had thousands of disposable income, I'd buy one,
He is no doubt the real deal , His work has always spoke to me.
me too. Love JS. Thanks James!
Yeah! Gagosian Godard style! So cool! So cool! 😂
Does Julian Schnabel use Drop cloth canvas?
I think Julian has use lots of things to paint on like: theater backdrops, truck tarps, David Salle paintings....
@@jameskalm David Salle paintings are kind of like theater backdrops.
Use to love reading about him in the Warhol diaries.
Who are the musicians of the street?
Schnabel plays in everyone's sandbox.
I get the undercover vibe, but this is the second video where the security officials ok photography. You might consider some post production time and reconstruct the "photography approved" shows with narration and still photography.

Well said.
and so you've shared the anxiety of the artist. Does he owe you more?
They are just like ironic comments about nothing. He just shut down logic and paint. Sometines it work. He done that from start -
recreates the Humpy Dumpy. An american version of Sigmar Polke. Who win?
4:17 "sublime abject"
Cool
All artists are real. All parents are real. All brothers are real. All fakes are real. Julian Schnabel fan.
Not bad. I love art.
Schnabel's strength is his fearlessness.
This looks like someone who has left his old dirty underware on the canvas. Watcha ma call it?? Art!!
Julian is deff the real deal
I think if he sells that piece that has the old rags on it the money should be donated to an unknown artist so they may get the opportunity not to worry

I think there will be some serious conservation issues with these works in the near future...
Minute 2:27, Cy's flowers... come on.
My favorite is the one at 6:36.
Much ado about nothing. Robert Hughes got it right 40 years ago.
He ain't no Basquiat dats fo sho. This is what art looks good when they say, "I can do that with my eyes closed "
Of course he's the real deal, you don't ask that of Salle, Fischil or Chia do you?
As much as you are appreciating , I believe you have missed the whole point.
راءع .
Much better director imo
If you like and understand basquiat, definitely you will like this
always enjoy your videos James......this show was dissapointing. Schnabel not for everyone but these works are weak in my opinion. The best part of the video was the music.....City of the Sun
Yes- he is the real deal. What's the problem?
You know there is cameras real small cheap that they work great for videos and you can hide now I know you like the narrative part but you can do that on a editor real easy
ozymandios is a masterpiece.
I Simply don’t like these works. Maybe I’m not ready or it’s just the moment but everything seems intentionally “strange” and non-sense. And I can’t understand what’s the point in making them so big except for granting viewers at least one reason of surprise..
Nothing to be ready for. Your first impression is correct here.

Let the camera rest FFS

I enjoy these vids but consistently find Julian Schnabel's work highly overrated. Am I the only one??
yes.
No you're not, I used to do think some of his work was great , i like a lot of his stuff from 2000 but when I look at him these days I just find it overindulgent and pretentious
Is this a hoax? Is this art? 🤔

There'll always be someone better
or more boring
Schnabel emphasized “junky” and minimized genius in his Basquiat movie. But the real insult in the movie was using Schnabel paintings as Basquiafs in said movie, What a clown. PS. Big does not mean sophisticated.
He had to Basquiat's estate denied him use of the real ones. He apologized about that in the review interview, and doesn't claim they were much.
You have to be kidding me. No one, including the artist, understands these splashes of paint on a flat surface. Unless it has some humanitarian interest it is not art. You are being taken for a ride by the so called art critics and the greedy promoters.
all art is fraud...that's the beauty part...and then we get into a fool and his money....
All art is an offering from one who created and shared, to one or more that haven't
@@vpost1x1 fantastic response
Ugh.
Overrated "Artist". Another slave of Notart.
Give us the whole picture of a painting and do not go into the details that are meaningless for the perception of art work.
One of the more dismal things I've seen in a while. Perhaps you should see a Dr. Instead of Schnabel.
I might be charged with practicing art observation without a licence...
i think artwork like this is just hard for some people to understand. when i look at this work i feel nostalgic, and i feel empathetic with the artist.
You need an intervention Captain!
Pure crap
Schnabel is joke. These works are what you expect to see from an inexperienced kid applying to The Art Institutes. Caught a recent showing of his at PACE---even larger paintings with even less worth. There is no beauty for any eye to behold; only surface, feeble allusion of something authentic, a poor counterfeit.
