ArtReview: Multiple 06
FOREWORD
A
rtReview is one of the worlds leading international contemporary
art magazines. Founded in 1949, it is dedicated to expanding
contemporary arts audience and reach. We believe that art plays
a vital role in inspiring a richer, more profound understanding of
human experience, culture and society today. As part of that commitment,
we are publishing Multiple, a guide to art thats designed to be widely
disseminated rather than limited to a single, unique object tucked away in
a museum or in a supercollectors private holdings. At the same time,
Multiple seeks to showcase the variety and range of art made in series from
prints and photography, to sculpture, design objects and bookworks and
to demonstrate that you really dont need to be a millionaire to enjoy some
of the most interesting art around. Intelligent, eye-popping, quirky or
provocative, this is art in concentrated form.
Pictured left is Used Cars (2011), a recent project by the British artist
Jonathan Monk. Its a series of identical (in all but colour) neon signs spelling
out the title of the work. Each sign is priced according to particular cars
advertised for sale in a Danish newspaper: for example, a green neon is
subtitled Mercedes C180 1993, DKK 87.000; a blue one, Fiat 500 L 1967,
DKK 69.000. So while they all look the same, each one is dierent in price.
The work points out that, for most people, buying art is about the decision
to purchase aesthetic fullment (or at least, in this case, an object that
makes you laugh) rather than something purely practical. The real point,
however, is that a work of art is only ever what you make of it.
Published monthly and featuring reports on the latest artistic trends and
developments, ArtReview is essential reading for artists, collectors, gallerists,
curators, students and anyone with an interest in contemporary art. Each issue
is packed with a mix of criticism, interviews, columns, proles, exhibition reviews,
essays, photography, city art tours, comic strips and original artist projects. For
more information, visit www.artreview.com.

COLLECTING ART
BY GRAYSON PERRY
W
hen someone collects your work for their private collection you
tend to think about that person who they are, what you know
about them because your work tends to be framed by the other
things they own. It can be lovely to see the unexpected ways in
which a private collector will hang things I always enjoy it if my work is
close to an artist that I like, such as Frank Auerbach or Peter Doig. I dont
even want to think of collectors picking things because they match the curtains
and that kind of thing.
Personally, I have a big collection of dresses. I hang on to them because
most of my dresses are made for me. The chances of getting the kind of dress
that I want and that will t me are slim. Ive also bought some pieces of prison
art through the work that I do with the Koestler Trust, because every year,
along with a bunch of others, I do a day of selecting prisoners work for prizes.
Ive become a bit choosier over the years, but I still usually buy one. When I
rst started looking at prison art I thought, This is amazing. But after a few
years of looking at hundreds, you see that its often the same type of
amazingness.
Dierent things that I make have dierent audiences. The rst items
that I made after I broke out of ceramics were prints, and one of the rst,
Map of an Englishman (2004), sold out very quickly and was really popular.
I found that lots of people who had been enthusiastic about my ceramics for
a while but hadnt thought about collecting them found it easier to imagine
owning a print.
For the past two years Ive been working with the British Museum
collection to create an exhibition there titled The Tomb of the Unknown
Craftsman. In it Ive selected works from the collection and displayed them
alongside a selection of my own work to create some alternative narrative
strands. For The Tomb of the Unknown Craftsman Ive made a ag multiple
called Hold Your Beliefs Lightly, which is my response to the collection of
Fante Asafo ags from West Africa in the British Museum. Im always
interested in the conversations between dierent cultures. These ags
originated from the early period of trade between West Africa and Europe
(dating from at least the early eighteenth century). In trading towns and
villages, bands of soldiers were encouraged to take up European military
practices, such as marching and waving banners, but they slowly modied
and adapted these banners to suit their personal interests. They are far more
colourful than those of their European counterparts, and they are funny and
lively objects that have images symbolising things like Dont get your head
bitten o by a crocodile. The text is usually a proverb or something to taunt
rivals with. I thought that I would do a ag to tease rival religions a bit. People
who believe too hard get beliefs muddled up with facts. They hold on to their
beliefs so hard their knuckles go white. But its just a belief, after all. I like
religion and ritual, but Im encouraging something more like a delicate poem
than a dogma.
The British Museum itself springs from the private collection of physician,
naturalist and collector Sir Hans Sloane (16601753) and its expanded over
the years as a series of smaller private collections have been added to it.
Indeed you can still identify this in the museum stores: as I searched through
them I started to see certain names cropping up over and over again, most
notably Sir Augustus Wollaston Franks (182697), who donated his collection
after having worked at the museum for over 40 years. Theres also a recently
opened room devoted to a collector of Chinese porcelain, Sir Percival David,
featuring objects that he donated to the University of London in 1950.
If you consider the way in which artists t within the museums collection
as I had to do when constructing this show its clear that it is conceived in
a very dierent way to an art collection: its primarily about history, not
aesthetics. The museum hasnt collected the majority of these objects because
they are beautiful, but because they are historically signicant in terms of
understanding a very specic period. The dating is crucial: a int tool, say,
is almost worthless unless one can date where and when it was made.
That said, aesthetics does play a part too, especially when it comes to
selecting what is put on display, and sometimes the object itself overpowers
the historical importance. If you have an earring that has a bit of ear still on
it, for example, you cant get away from the fact that this object has a more
intense presence than the ones that dont.
But what became clear to me during my research was that the British
Museum has no idea who made a lot of the craft objects they hold, whereas
we know who made nearly everything in Tate Modern, for example. So theres
a kind of opposite dynamic at play than the one that we get in art museums,
in that some scrap of paper with a doodle on it can become very important
and valuable if a famous artist made it.
While we have so many artists that are very good, since Marcel Duchamp
there has been a conception that artists can just point at things to bestow
signicance on them, and this has become pretty tired, I think. After all, its
nearly a hundred years since Duchamp exhibited Fountain (1917). I hope that
artists and institutions will start to think dierently about this kind of found
object work.

Museum, London, through 19 February

Irish-born and raised in London, Sean Scully has twice been nominated
for the Turner Prize (in 1989 and 1993). The eight prints in the portfolio
above are each constructed from a 24 x 18-inch plate, into which two 6 x
10-inch plates have been inset. His chequerboard aesthetic has its roots
in his childhood: I remember growing up in Ireland, the artist said in
2006, and everything being chequered, even the elds and the people.

The artists usual technique
is to carefully excise angular
segments of a photo with a
scalpel, leaving voids in the
original image. This print,
however, sees the process
reversed: a vinyl mask is
added to an image to create
a geometric and
architectural jumble. It was
created as a precursor to
2010s Viewing Station, an
installation for New Yorks
High Line, in which a screen
masked out elements of the
city view as seen from the
elevated park. Edition of 20.

The American artist has not
only made the aesthetic of
the drive-by photograph
pretty much his own, but has
also, via his depictions of
roadside fast-food joints,
garages and motels, come to
dene the aesthetic of the
West Coast. In these eight
colour photographs of the
titular SoCal city, the focus is
pulled away from the
photographic subject matter
to blots of acrylic paint that
take centre stage.

Whereas this Irish painter
was once inspired by a
microscopic investigation
into the abstraction of
biological forms, the artists
residency at the University
of Cambridges Institute of
Astronomy, where he spent
quite a lot of time in the
library looking at diagrams
of planetary systems, has
resulted in a switch from
micro to macro and the
inspiration of the geometry
of the stars.

Cow Dung, 1990
-
Some 20 years ago the Swiss
artist was travelling in a rural
part of Nepal when a man
approached him and told
him that his son had been
badly burned by boiling milk
and that the family could not
aord the treatment. Vital
helped them out. It was this
experience that led him to
cast this series of bronzes.
Each edition is unique, and
was originally sold to fund a
hospital in Kathmandu.
Edition of 1,000.

When it came to creating his Cow Dung series, Not Vital was attracted to
the idea of turning manure, which had a value in Nepal (where it is used
as a fuel) but was worthless in Switzerland, into something valuable in
Switzerland but worthless in Nepal by casting it in bronze. Since 1990
the Swiss artist has raised 300,000 for a new hospital in Kathmandu.

David Blandys artwork Duel and Dualities: Battle of the Soul (2011) is a
two-player arcade game. Squaring up to each other in a volley of high
kicks and hand chops are the Barefoot Lone Pilgrim (from which the
action gure seen above derives) and an avatar of the artist himself. The
game seeks to foreground the ways in which we construct ourselves
through pop-cultural representations.

In 1994, shortly before he rose to prominence, Tom Sachs worked on
the Christmas displays at Barneys New York. His nativity scene featured
a McDonalds sign on the manger, a Hello Kitty Mary and three Bart
Simpsons as the kings. While his sculptures focused on nonfunctional
mashups of fashion and violence Herms Hand Grenade and Tiany
Glock (both 1995) he also produced a series of functioning guns,
which Sachs sold to the city of New York for up to $300 apiece under
its gun-buyback scheme.

The New York-based dealer
and collector W.M. Hunt
specialises in photographs
and has built up a large
collection of portraits in
which the subjects eyes are
obscured. Collected in the
book The Unseen Eye,
published by Thames &
Hudson earlier this year, the
images are a mix of works by
some of the worlds most
inuential photographers
Brassa, Weegee, Lee
Friedlander, Diane Arbus
and Robert Mapplethorpe
and lesser-known
documentary photographs
discovered in archives. As a
collection, it veers from the
enigmatic to the deeply
threatening. Hunt himself
says, I have never really
sorted out why I was initially
drawn to collecting, to
something so particular, or
what fuelled and sustained
this passion, though he
adds that these are all
portraits of me.
The Museum of Jurassic
Technology, in LAs Culver
City, is an artist-initiated
collection of objects and
ephemera dedicated to the
advancement of knowledge
and the public appreciation
of the Lower Jurassic. Thats
not exactly true (though then
again, what is?): subtly
sticking to the authoritative
style of museum presentation
in wall labels and display, the
collection on show is one that
tackles skew-whi angles on
knowledge, truth, cultural
mythology and museology.
The display Tell the Bees
explores ve very specic
areas of belief, collecting
evidence as one would in a
scientic investigation to
prove, for example, that one
of the bridegrooms shoes
should be left untied during
the marriage ceremony to
prevent on the bridal night
his being deprived of the
power of loosening the virgin
zone. Meanwhile the
museums Letters to Mt
Wilson Observatory (191535)
collection is a strangely
moving set of epistolary
wonderings and theories
about the universe by writers
who felt that they had found
the answers and needed to
share them with scientists at
an observatory in the nearby
San Gabriel Mountains.
Artist Bill Burns regularly
shows the work he has
created for his Museum of
Safety Gear for Small
Animals, most recently at
Bristols Arnolni as part of
the exhibition Museum Show
Part 1. Burnss is a collection
of tiny hi-vis life jackets,
goggles and life rafts meant
to assist tiny creatures who
have found themselves in
sticky situations and to help
the humans that would
rescue them. Also part of the
collection are various guides
on the same subject,
including How to Help
Animals Escape from
Degraded Habitats. While
Burnss miniature hardhats,
etc are by turns uncanny,
plaintive and pathetically
charming, they also subtly
convey a sense of impending
danger and catastrophe for
humans and animals alike.
By the time we get to
seriously trying to help frogs
escape a trashed
environment by carrying
them in a camera, as one
diagram suggests, what state
will our own habitats be in?
James Brett has one of the
largest collections of what is
often called outsider art,
which he has been
showcasing in London as
the Museum of Everything
for the past two years. The
best-known of these artists
is Henry Darger, whom Brett
showcased in 2009, but the
collector has amassed a huge
range of work by self-taught
individuals working outside
the artworld among them
former prisoners and
servicemen, individuals with
physical and mental
illnesses, and those who
simply create for their own
needs or pleasures.
Long stitch embroidery of
glamour models is collected
alongside the creepy total
worlds created in the
vitrines of the taxidermist
Walter Potter.
The Museum of Bad Art was
founded in 1993, when Scott
Wilson pulled a bad painting
from a pile of trash on a
Boston street. Intrigued by
the thought that resources
and eort were being put
exclusively into the study and
collection of the minority
good stu, Wilson and a
small band of disciples set up
an institution dedicated to
the rest of the art spectrum.
MoBA has now grown into a
600-work permanent
collection installed across
three sites in greater Boston
and staed by a team of
volunteers. While the
ingredients of bad vary
(solid technique but
supercial meaning, and vice
versa), it steers clear of
kitsch. Theres no false
sentiment here, just
misguided sincerity.

Albert Oehlen
Artist
When I was at the
Hochschule r
Bildende Knste,
I bought a large painting
by my fellow student
Michael Deistler for
DM100. He was my idol
and perhaps still is.
As anything else that
Ive bought or traded,
I still have this painting.
James Bre
Founder, Museum
of Everything
I bought a Jesus.
My father thought it
was a rabbi. We were
both right. Jesus was a
brightly painted stump
of wood, with planks for
arms and a beard (like
mine) of dense matted
wool. In each palm was
a tiny person: one black,
one white. A statement
by his feet read: Hes
got you and me in his
hands, brother. Jesus
was created by Ronald
Cooper, a self-taught
carver who was created
by Jesus. His now my
Jesus is thus the
aordable spiritual
embodiment of
postmodernism, and if
you have a spare
moment, you can nd
his brother and sister
carvings all over eBay
for less than a hundred
bucks. Democracy,
enlightenment,
aordability and
transcendence. All in
a stump of wood.
Zaha Hadid
Architect
I started collecting glass
from the 1950s because
it had very interesting
colour and form.
I still have the piece.
Jason Rubell
Collector
I bought my rst piece
of art in 1983 at the age
of fourteen. It was
George Condo,
Immigrants (1983).
I bought it from Pat
Hearn in her New York
gallery. I paid o the
purchase price over
many months,
delivering $25$50 to
Pat every few weeks.
She would sign an index
card listing the amounts
paid as I delivered each
payment. The painting
cost $1,620 an
enormous sum for my
teenage budget! I still
own this painting, and it
was featured in the
exhibition Time Capsule
that took place at the
Rubell Family
Collection in Miami this
past year. The
commitment and
discipline required to be
a partner to art made
me feel a sense of
purpose and meaning.
From that moment on
I knew I wanted to
collect. I miss Pat a lot!
Lily Cole
Actress and model
The rst work I ever
acquired was a painting
by my friend the artist
Lucy Kumara Moore. It
spoke eloquently of the
time and captured a
specic moment for me,
as I knew why Lucy had
painted it as a
response to events that
were personal to me in
fact. It was incredibly
beautiful and moving.
We did an exchange
whereby I paid for
Lucys trip out to visit
me in Canada (we took
a train across the
Rockies) in exchange
for the painting. I still
own it; it hangs on my
library wall surrounded
by several other
paintings, including
others by Lucy.
Dexter Dalwood
Artist
While I was at Saint
Martins as a student in
the 1980s I bought an
eighteenth-century
print, Doublures of
Characters, by James
Gillray, from Portobello
Market. It was the rst
bit of real art I had ever
bought: folded and a
little torn, but once in a
frame I was delighted
with it and still have it.
The connection to the
past and its relationship
to contemporary
painting at the time
really excited me.
Q&A
What was the rst piece of art you collected?
What did it mean to you? Do you still own it?
