    Joyce Kozloff deserves to be here. She has literally brought the viewer into the collage. Maps have become not a comment, visual effect or token background but the theme itself. Sexuality and eroticism have been given a workout that should guarantee them a disquieting dissonant place in art history. Faith Ringgold for the collaged narrative. Romare Beardon for lyrical, dramatic compositions.

      Hi Colin, we have mentioned Kurt Schwitters in our recital of honorable mentions as he did not enter the top 20 of the Artfacts algorithm, but it was a very close call. As a result I simply had to mention him as an honorable mention, alongside Hannah Hoch. John Heartfield was ranked much lower sadly so we kept it at five honorable mentions. I completely understand your reasoning however. Maybe it could be more interesting to create a more chronological list of collage artists, from Braque and Picasso to Schwitters, Ray, Ernst, Hoch and Arp, to Rauschenberg, Baldessari, Bratescu, Ferrari, to Kruger, Rosler, Spero, ... Instead of showcasing the currently highest ranked artist, a chronological anthology of the most influential artist could present new insights and understandings of the development of collage.

      Yeah, it's ridiculous. Art facts is laughable--you don't need an some algorithm to tell what is good or not; you have eyes. It's just a database that organizes.....ranking artists?? If Kurt Schwitters is not in the top 5 (probably No. 1), than the list holds is worhtless. This garbage is what has helped lead artists down the road to commodification, exploitation, and irrelevance.

    • @contemporaryartissue
      @contemporaryartissue  Před 2 lety

      I can follow your reasoning. When it comes to collage, Braque was as important as Picasso, however the first is ranked 24th and the latter first. The reason why is because we have presented the highest ranked collage artists overall. Doing so, Motherwell was outranked by the 20 names from this list, hence not being included. Big fan of Motherwell personally, happy to see his name mentioned so frequently here. Thank you for tuning in and for the interesting debate.

I guess you don't see his work as collage. he used ready mades in fact named them. How about the "green box" and Belle Haleine, Eau de Voilette. For me all of these works make him a stand out.

I am a big fan as well of Romare Bearden, so I believe its a bit too late for me not to fall in love with his works. However, with this list (as with almost all our lists), we use an algorithm to rank these artists and sadly Bearden was outranked by the 20(+5) names from this video. But thrilled to see his name here in the comments for sure, thank you for tuning in

      ​@@mikemassenburg5983 The algorithm is able to provide interesting results, but they still need to be interpreted with a critical pair of eyes and mind of course. The main reason why we adore to use the Artfacts algorithm is because it enables us to approach fame/popularity/pertinence in an objective manner. Otherwise, depending on the person who creates the list, it would be entirely different. If I would make them, I would be imposing my personal opinion to you, which I don't feel comfortable with. Instead, with this algorithm, we can create these rankings in a very coherent and consistent manner. It crawls all artists in the world, so every artist is considered, and it can often show a discrepancy between our perception of fame of specific artist versus reality. To conclude, it is a very interesting discussion and yes the algorithm is not perfect as we still need to interpret the results critically. But I strongly believe this is a great tool for art scientific insights, which is exactly what we aim to achieve with these results.

    The principal issue with this video is that the algorithm which "ranks" these artists seems dysfunctional. It's difficult to believe that the results are not fundamentally errant. As the comments demonstrate, many well-known artists whose distinctive contributions to collage are indisputable have been neglected in favor of relative unknowns who are nowhere near "famous," while others seem to have been ranked inordinately. What parameters were used in the development of the algorithm? What "career facts?" How was the algorithm's functional validity evaluated? The use of an algorithm does not produce an appropriate result unless the algorithm provides a satisfactory approximation of real-world decision-making. Most algorithms are initially defective and require significant refinement based on extensive human interaction before they prove useful. While ranking lists are inherently controversial -- and all the ranked artists are worthy of inclusion in the collage conversation -- this algorithmic list does not appear to be either "reasoned" or "objective." Nevertheless, it does bring worthwhile attention to several collagists who deserve broader recognition.

    • @contemporaryartissue
      @contemporaryartissue  Před rokem +1

      The list has been created by an algorithm (by Artfacts) which ranks artists based upon objective data and career facts (such as shows at major institutions, auction results, biennials, collections, et cetera). It is by far perfect, agreed. However I do believe it offers a very interesting and valuable intersection of the art world or artists. I believe it is more valuable than imposing the opinion of one of our writers of myself. However, as you have mentioned, it should go hand in hand with human interaction, in the sense that it needs to be interpreted with a critical mind. Thank you for this comment and thank you for tuning in!

      These are very interesting points. I am also wondering about this ranking system and why Picasso is #1 while Braque only gets an honorable mention, even though they were creating similar innovations at the same time in art history. I'm guessing the algorithm is unfairly weighted in favor of Picasso because his career as a whole has received so much attention, and that it's not only looking at their roles in the history of collage itself.

    I am always annoyed by how collage is brought back to Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso when artists like Mary Delaney and those who created the early chigiri-e works existed long before. The history of paper is long; and for almost as long as it has been created, some form of collage has existed.
