When poet Cleo Wade and Oscar- and Emmy-nominated writer-producer-director Simon Kinberg (The Martian, X-Men: First Class, The 355, Invasion) got engaged in 2019, the evening was enveloped in art.
A few days before Kinberg proposed — at a get-together at their home — their friend, civil rights activist DeRay Mckesson, sent a photo of the couple to artist Brandon Breaux. The artist in turn created a multicolored drawing based on the photo showing the couple in outline. On the night of the engagement, Mckesson also gave postcard-size prints of the work to guests. “They wrote little things on the back and drew on [them]. It was so sweet,” recalls Wade. “It was a cool way of having art be alive.”
The night was a snapshot of the way the pair approach art collecting, with a focus on works that express freedom and joyfulness. “We both really respond to something that looks really free,” says Wade,...

Francesco Clemente: Inspired by India The Rubin Museum of Art Through February 2, 2015 Two Tents Mary Boone Gallery Through December 20, 2014
The original impulse in my life as an artist was to write and to break from writing into image.... Art is the last oral tradition alive in the West. - Francesco Clemente
Francesco Clemente, the nomadic Neo-Expressionist painter and sculptor, continues to pursue his travels and artistic investigations, and, fortunately for New Yorkers this Fall, has brought back the resulting documents to two concurrent shows: Francesco Clemente: Inspired by India, at the Rubin Museum and Two Tents at Mary Boone. Clemente follows somewhat in the traditions set by writers such as Paul Bowles and Christopher Isherwood, or musicians like The Beatles and David Bowie -- artists who used travel both as a metaphor and a seemingly endless reserve of creative energies from which to renew interest in their pursuits.

A few weeks ago, Lisa Dennison, the head of Sotheby’s in North and South America, told me that she owned a truly significant work of art — a portrait by Francesco Clemente. Early one morning last week, I went to visit her at home, to find out what it was like for her to sit for it. We sat down in her living room as she told me the story.I did a retrospective at the Guggenheim of Clemente, and one of the icons of the show was this portrait that he did of his wife, Alba, in this exact format — eight feet long and four feet high. The colors, the expression, really, while it was perfectly Alba, it also embodied all the ideas that he plays with in his art. The idea of distortion, of these huge eyes being the window into the soul, and also a love of...

Lipstick Traces René Ricard, Massachussets-born poet, painter, art critic and Warhol superstar, died February 1 after a battle with cancer, and the Botticellian angels quarrel, seeking revery as trumpets blare in heavenly jubilee for a luminous child.

Scarlett Johansson may be regarded as one of the most beautiful stars in the world, but she's also an actress who continues to surprise us.
Johansson has juggled various genres, from teen comedies like "The Perfect Score," to quirky indies like "Ghost World," to superhero blockbusters like "Iron Man 2." But this weekend we get the Jersey-fied Johansson in "Don Jon." Scarjo plays Barbara, the new girlfriend of Joseph Gordon-Levitt's porn-addicted title character.
We've seen Johansson on screen since she was just a kid, but there are still tons of facts that you probably never knew about the blonde bombshell, such as her rejection from Nyu's Tisch school or her near-casting in the upcoming "Gravity." Find out more little-known tidbits about the star below.
1. Even though 1998's "The Horse Whisperer" was Johansson's seventh feature film, she was given an "Introducing" credit in it.

Dean Tavoularis was the production designer on the one and only film I worked on, Farewell My Lovely. Aside from Dean, the entire crew from The Godfather was on this film, produced by Elliott Kastner (stepfather of Cassian Elwes and his illustrious brothers), associate produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, with a cameo of the new upcoming heartthrob Sylvester Stallone, and starring truly stellar actors Charlotte Rampling and Robert Mitchum. It's hard to believe that 1975 was 37 years ago!
And now, the 40th Telluride Film Festival (August 29 – September 2, 2013), presented by National Film Preserve Ltd., proudly announces Oscar-winning production designer Dean Tavoularis as its 2013 poster artist. Tavoularis will attend the 40th Telluride Film Festival over Labor Day weekend to present his poster design to the public and hold a poster signing for festival guests.
As a student, Dean Tavoularis studied painting and architecture at different art schools and went on to work at Disney Studios as an in-betweener in the animation department where he worked on the 1955 film Lady and the Tramp. He then transitioned to the live-action department where he worked on the 1954 film 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. His career as a production designer began in 1967 when filmmaker Arthur Penn asked him to lead the artistic direction for Bonny And Clyde. Three years later, he and Penn teamed up again on Little Big Man. He began working with Francis Ford Coppola in 1972 on The Godfather, which was the beginning of much collaboration including the latter two films in The Godfather trilogy and Apocalypse Now.
Tavoularis has spent the last ten years focusing on his work as a painter. His return to film came in 2012 when he was the production designer on Roman Polanski’s Carnage. He has worked on over thirty films spanning four decades, landing five Academy-Award nominations and one win for The Godfather Part II. Tavoularis lives in Paris and Los Angeles with his wife, actress Aurore Clément.
“We are thrilled Dean agreed to do the poster art for the 40th anniversary,” said Executive Director Julie Huntsinger. “The 40th edition will be a remarkable celebration of Tff’s past and present, and Dean’s work with Telluride is a wonderful parallel. He was a part of Telluride in its very early years when he designed a poster for a Tff celebration called the ‘Spirit of Zoetrope.’ We are excited to have him back and to present his vision for this special year. ”
Tavoularis remarks, “When I was asked by Tom Luddy and Julie Huntsinger if I would design the poster for the 40th Telluride Film Festival, I was first flattered and then thoughtful of being part of the Telluride film history. In my own way I pondered Telluride’s past and in fact all film festivals. Like the word implies, a festival is a fair; people gathering to show their films. It just as well could be their tomatoes. It’s an exchange. I wanted a poster that was simple and joyful, that looked homemade with pure colors in shapes that symbolize a 1:85 screen and an audience. One cannot exist without the other. I am very happy to be a small part of Telluride’s history.”
Dean Tavoularis joins a prestigious list of artists who have shared their talents with Telluride Film Festival. Past poster artists include Ed Ruscha, John Mansfield, Julian Schnabel, Dottie Attie, Doug and Mike Starn, David Lance Goines, Chuck Jones, David Salle, Alexis Smith, Jim Dine, Seymour Chwast, Frederic Amat, Francesco Clemente, Dave McKean, Gary Larson, Chip Kidd, John Canemaker, Mark Stock, Laurie Anderson, William Wegman, Ralph Eggleston, Maira Kalman and Dave Eggers.

Francesco Clemente: A Private Geography
Mary Boone Gallery, NY
Through December 18, 2010
Francesco Clemente has always traversed various boundaries in his work: the geographical, personal, and sexual have all been routed through his various explorations in a multitude of media. His exhibit A Private Geography at Mary Boone uptown, his best in many years, proves no exception to this rule. It may be misleading to say that his work is all about the breaking down of perimeters. Instead, he renders them porous through his work and peripatetic lifestyle: He lives and works in New York, Italy, and India through various parts of the year, and works in painting, sculpture, prints, and most successfully pastel, drawing, and watercolor.

Top row from left: Lisa Anastos, Sharon Stone, Fern Mallis, and Alec Baldwin and Claire Evans. Bottom row from left: Zani Gugelmann, Fabiola Beracasa, and assorted performers. From PatrickMcMullan.com. On Saturday night, stepping into Paradiso, Robert Wilson’s 17th annual Watermill Summer benefit, was truly like stepping into another world. The air was thick with woody smoke from nearby torches as guests found themselves in a heady environment of mysterious beauty, surrounded by performers and otherworldly sounds that seemed to echo from every direction. Walking toward the Watermill Center, benefit chair Lisa Anastos and Patrick McMullan encountered white gorillas performing glacially paced movements and handing out leaves doused in Loc Dong’s heady Paradiso perfume. As children looked on, a performer suspended herself just below the canopy of trees outside the center, balancing on yards of white silk as she folded herself into graceful arabesques. One of the most...

A still from Tamra Davis's Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child. The movie had considerable hype coming out of the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, but that buzz escalated to a fever pitch at a recent New York City screening of the film. Collective effervescence is the idea that an extraordinary perceived energy can emerge in a group setting. Think 100,000 football fans gathering in the Big House on a Saturday afternoon. Think 400,000 hippies dancing around in the mud at Woodstock. Similarly, on Tuesday night, in the hallowed halls of New York City’s Museum of Modern Art, a transcendent force could be felt as a crowd including singer Alicia Keys, V.F. photographer Annie Leibovitz, comedian Chris Rock, fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger, musician Fab 5 Freddy, and pretty much every heavy hitter from the art world—Julian Schnabel, Cindy Sherman, Francesco Clemente, Jeffrey Deitch, and Peter Brant among them—gathered for a...

Actor/director Vincent Gallo is auctioning off a portrait of himself sketched by American artist and filmmaker Julian Schnabel - with bids starting at $25,000 (GBP15,625).
The artist drew portraits of Gallo and co-star Gary Oldman for one restaurant scene in his 1996 directorial debut, Basquiat, in which Gallo portrayed painter Francesco Clemente.
Schnabel gave both drawings to Gallo as a gift.
Now the actor is selling them on auction website eBay.com.
He tells the New York Post, "I'm building a new house in downtown L.A. (Los Angeles). I want everything to fit... I'm going through things. I don't want it, and it's too valuable to give away. I'd rather buy shoes."...

Artist/actor/director Vincent Gallo is selling a portrait of himself by Julian Schnabel. When Gallo portrayed painter Francesco Clemente in Schnabel's directorial debut, "Basquiat" (1996), his scene was a re-creation of a dinner at Mr. Chow where Schnabel drew Clemente's portrait in a guest book facing the page where he drew Schnabel's portrait. Since Gary Oldman played Schnabel in "Basquiat," Clemente drew Oldman's face opposite Schnabel's likeness of Gallo. Schnabel gave both...

Kate Moss stripped down and showed off a healthy looking body for the Spring Fashion Issue of New York Magazine. The interview included Sir Philip Green and confirms the NY Topshop store opening in early April but the timing of the issue also perfectly lines up with even more pregnancy rumors, which she clears up in the interview. In addition, Kate gets candid about loving clothes and her new body, and dishes on how excited she is to host the Met Costume Institute Gala this year. Here are highlights: On being a designer: "I love clothes. I know how clothes should fit and feel. When I would go to shoots, stylists would say to me, 'You really should do something. You should take it another step.' But it never felt right until I met Philip and the whole atmosphere of Topshop." On her upcoming lingerie line: "I’ve got...

It doesn't hurt, of course, that the director, Chiara Clemente, is long accustomed to the rarefied air of the city's art world - her father is celebrity artist Francesco Clemente, and her boyfriend is boldface, globe-trotting jewelry designer Waris Ahluwalia.
