East Side Story: Remembering the 1980s East Village Art Scene
By Gracie Mansion
It seemed to be a time of no limitations. Everything was possible; more than that, it was probable....
In the mid-1970s, I worked at a law collective, while attending art school and living in a commune in New Jersey. During that time, I befriended Al Hansen (American, 1927–1995), who was then teaching at Rutgers. On trips to New York, Al introduced me to many artists, including Sur Rodney (Sur), who had curated a show at his brother’s gallery in SoHo. After graduation, I moved to the East Village, where I re-connected with Sur, who was doing pre-production for his video entitled The All-New Sur Rodney (Sur) Show. At the time, I worked at a print gallery in SoHo, and started selling friends’ artwork. Sur also worked there. He and I curated a show in a two–foot access space behind the display windows, hanging artwork from coat hangers.

“This untitled work by Keith Haring (American, 1958–1990) is featured in East Side Story: Art from the ’80s East Village, a special sale celebrating the vibrant 1980s East Village art scene in New York City. Executed in 1981, this work exemplifies Haring’s iconic approach to Street Art and his characteristic cartoon-like imagery. The two figures with interlocked arms, a subject common in the artist’s work, were spray painted on a large piece of plywood that was once part of a construction fence. East Side Story: Art from the ’80s East Village is live on artnet Auctions until Thursday, March 28.”

George Condo vs. S&P 500
George Condo (American, b.1957) is a Contemporary visual artist whose work has been heavily influenced by the East Village art and literary scene in New York City, and figures such as Jean-Michel Basquait, Keith Haring, Andy Warhol, and William S. Burroughs. Condo is also well known for his book and album cover art; he produced the cover art for Jack Kerouac’s Book of Sketches, and more recently, he created the album cover for Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
Condo’s market has seen significant gains in the past 10 years, coinciding with increased exposure resulting from major museum retrospectives held in 2005, 2009, and 2011. Three of Condo’s top five prices achieved at auction occurred in 2011 and 2012, topped by the sale of The Manhattan Strip Club for US$1.3 million this past November.

Since the beginning of her career in Belgrade during the early 1970s, Marina Abramoviç has pioneered the use of performance as a visual art form. The body has always been both her subject and medium. Exploring the physical and mental limits of her being, she has withstood pain, exhaustion, and danger in the quest for emotional and spiritual transformation.
