- Fred Hoffman worked closely with Jean-Michel Basquiat from 1982 to 1984, during the artist's residency in Venice, California. During this time, Hoffman produced most of the artist's limited edition silkscreen prints. In 2005-6, Fred Hoffman co-curated the artist's last American retrospective at The Brooklyn Museum; The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; and the Houston Museum of Fine Art. Hoffman served as a member of the Authentication Committee for the estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat for several years. In 2014, he published Jean-Michel Basquiat Drawing in conjunction with the exhibition of the same name at Acquavella Gallery, New York. In 2017, Hoffman published The Art of Jean-Michel Basquiat.
As a gallerist in the 1980s and '90s, Hoffman organized major exhibitions with such artists as Basquiat, Richard Serra, Frank O. Gehry, Chris Burden, John McCracken, Robert Rauschenberg, Tom Wesselmann, George Segal, Alex Katz, Dan Flavian, Cindy Sherman, Jenny Holzer, Sophie Calle, Barbara Kruger, Dennis Hopper, Julian Schnabel, Don Van Vliet and James Lee Byars.
Fred Hoffman (Ph.D. 1976, UCLA) is the author of several publications, including the major monograph/catalogue raissoné on Chris Burden; Keith Haring, The Birth of Wonder; Thoughts on the Return and Artistic Maturation of Dennis Hopper and The Art of Don Van Vliet. Hoffman produced two early artist books with Mike Kelley.

The crown positioned Black men as KINGS... he also used the Halo. Basquiat himself says that. I can not understand why it is so difficult for you all to just say that instead of all the transcendence fluff.
THANK YOU
as sons of ATUM, the creator of the world. Anatomy? A german dissertation: That he uses anatomy to report about racism published Dr. S. Reichling 1999 "[...] but recurs with them to the impact history of Leonardo da Vinci's comparative anatomical and physiognomic studies, in the course of which the black man was constructed as a counter-image of the ideal of the beautiful, the good and the true", p. 151. LEONARDO DA VINCI'S GREATEST ATTACK, would be an apt title I think. Anatomy was a tool, not his passion.

@@blaesse yurp where’s the rest
@@ramgson39 coming on 12- August 2021,
Also, it's used in graffiti. King of your work.
He was smart enough to never explain his work or intentions. He dodged clarity brilliantly,
I don’t think it’s wrong to explain your work.
Hugh Greenart it isn’t, but it can take away from it
poetry loses its magic when you try to explain it
@@trevisrobotie924 agreed sometimes it definitely does
Like Miles Davis he never wanted to talked music he just performed music.
I was a part of the Brooklyn Museum Exhibition in 2005 and showed my work on the back of the Dj dressed in white tuxedo.
Art was even in his Haircut.
No one can explain his work cause he himself said that he can explain his Own Own work of art but today most people come out say this and that about his art work
amazing video thanks for the upload
A very articulate way of describing what someone loaded up on drugs was (or was not) thinking while painting.
I was born the very day he died so I feel somewhat a connection with him.
Love his work
U seriously just said some bs
@@lintontoussaint4895 loving his work & being born the day and year he died…is bs. Oh ok 👌🏽
Diamond video
The lens of point by point analysis of historical influence upon the context of the artist the artwork rolls through imagery of spherical structures
It's bs.
Watched Radiant Child last night. Hoping this will be good. I think its worth working out what he says in his paintings, aa they are loaded with information and powerful messages. It's such a shame so many of his paintings are out of sight in private hands and the idiots in the big museums wouldn't buy his work.
They're buying it now. The last big one I seen was like 15 million if I'm not mistaken at Sotheby's.
Who was Edgar?
Very good. Well said.
"When I first met Samo he was very young and homeless, Lower East Side Artist. I recall smoking joints, followed by a very deep conversations in my parked car and me saying to him, "You are sure to hit it big!" I whispered that into his ear when we hugged at his big show at the Whitney Biennial. At the start, It was obvious to everyone he had the magic. That dude really worked it hard, Constantly Creating Original Art. He was a very possessed, Artist Exploding... When we first met he was painting T-shirts, selling them on the street, then SNAP Whitney show and then a big loft in the heart of SoHo. The last time the two of us hung out togeather was in his BIG loft - LOTS OF ART EVERYWHERE and many Talked for hours about poetry-art-the sounds of letters. The last thing I said to Samo as I was leaving his loft was, "Dude, I lov U He smiled". - Tom Zatar Kay
The microscope of art commentary is exhausting and often incoherent or just plain ridiculous. Ask an artist "why did you put that there?" and the answer 9 times out of 10 will be "It just occurred to me to put it there." No grand scheme, no hyped up mystery. These pseudo-intellectuals like to hear themselves say important things. It's an eminence front. It's a put-on.
I'm listening this just to convince myself most scientific approach to expressive arts is just uppercase BS... :) 1 hour to describe an obviously lesser and doodly works of amazing Basquiat... Trying to hike the price or something?
U can explain his art as much u want as long as u understand that he hated how manupulative the art world is still is to this day esp talks like these trying to.
Longlive SAMO
TRUTH
Which is what they do here
24:17 . Now if that is not Genius I dont know what is.
You are right!
Old JMB would have a hard sell with Dentists I can hear what the Folks would be saying besides not in my house. Don’t get me wrong I love his work I did some like that in my 7-8 year old but learned that’s not art or what you can say about the world. ;)
A arrow is god as a rune
what do you mean by this?
Do what
@@trippplecup1563 what do
It's Art---Beautiful Art!.....Again, Beautiful Art!!!....Stop with this sterile presentation.....there are No words to explain his work....it's a Feeling...Not to be defined by all of this--Talking....
Exactly. And they are wrong about so much of this.
The BRAIN
Puerto Rican Basquait Jean.
It's so rude how some people want to make things out to be something they are not. Why does an artist use certain symbols and arrange things a certain way and use certain contrasts of colours or phrases? Well it's because they like the look of it and obviously other people do too that's why they want to look at the art and purchase the art. He had to be a bit ambiguous though to reach a broader audience and to avoid insulting those that misinterpreted his work by correcting them constantly.
I am he and he is me living in maui now 62 heres a clue.
All my art is made by my Head
Explain that Fred
JMB must have used Fred Hoffman as a mental subject because I observe Fred was picking his teeth when taking questions and maybe he had had a bad case of gas, It seems this is how Mr. Hoffman is and was... But I love how historians think they know and therefore define the meaning of a work of art... some of it was good but a lot of it, even though it sounded good , could be flushed away down the T bowl.
I'd love to debate this guy.
Basquait Jean girlfriend Madonna "Like A Virgin touch for the Very first Time, when ur heart beats next to mine."
someone tell these people the T is silent
Maybe they had/have issues
I didn't watch the documentary but I saw the post.Andy Warhol admitted himself that some of his work in museums and art galleries were fake. In my personal opinion I see some fakes. People in the art world are desperate even some great artists. This is only my personal opinion but I think thatthat the way Ellsworth Kelly and William de kooning lived they may have done a fake here are there for the money. A great piece of artwork is a great piece of artwork.when I look at some of the Jackson Pollock paintings I look at the colors and some of those colors look like Willem de kooning fake them.it doesn't take away that is a great piece of artwork and he may have needed the money right after Jackson Pollock's death since he is work was commanding so much. But if you could prove that Willem de kooning did fake some Jackson Pollock's paintings they may be worth more than what they are as Jackson Pollock's now.so whoever did those Bosque fakes in my opinion you need to get some better artist to do some better work. Who cares great art is great art if you can do a better job go ahead we all get paid
Once I did a fake Pollock. And several times I did fake De Koonings. I'm still waiting for the money!
"Consciousness" Basquiat will said"How do you know what Mr. Basquiat is thinking?" as he inquired the tour at MET lady about Picasso's Guernica.
You're kidding? Right?
He worked with him but he can't pronounce his last name, which is French. In French the T at the end of the word is SILENT!!!!
emrysciaran t was pronounced it wasnt silent
@@subudjj9368......... No, the t is not pronounced. Even in English.
Shut up
not necessarily. it totally depends on the word. especially if it is a proper name.
Yes the T is silent. He's even on film pronouncing his own name and yet still the cretins insist that it either doesn't matter or that it is correct to pronounce the T. These are the same people that say Loren when mentioning Ralph Lauren. Idiots.
kF🌍*
wow, what a pure delusions
Why are so many Art Historians lousy at giving lectures on Art? Seriously. JMB would have walked the fuck out on this one. Really awful.
Maybe ALL he thought was ART
The mouth is screaming, per Warhol.
Basquiat is laughing in his grave.
Awful presentation! Painful to follow! "aw" "uh" "sorry" ahah, uh, heh, head" NEXT!!!
Nope.
Not where he got ideas for his heads. Wrong.
It was just random crap don't have to explain anything.
