星期一 [ 2010/1/11 9:51:03 | watches1013 ]   Nicole Eisenman at Jack Tilton - Brief Article In her first New York exhibition since 1996, Nicole Eisenman added traditionally executed oils on canvas to her signature gesamtkunstwerks. Her freewheeling object- and drawing-based activity was confined to the front gallery, where one encountered dense arrangements of photos, drawings, collages, sketchy paintings and mixed-medium works as well as a thrift-shop installation where everything was for sale. A Coach leather-goods ad featuring Holly Solomon as "SoHo Art's pioneer" and Helen Frankenthaler's ubiquitous endorsement of Rolex watches were among the advertisements for cars, perfumes, jewelry, alcohol, designer clothes and the like intended to underscore the current Panerai Watches inextricability of art, fashion and marketing. Naked people beside televisions and women peeing or squirting breast milk were a few of the audacious images rendered with Eisenman's masterful, graphic touch that commented on sex, gender and media seduction. Self-portraiture continues to be synonymous with Eisenman's art. In this regard, she can be compared to Jack Smith, Cindy Sherman, Hannah Wilke and other performance-oriented artists of the '70s who put themselves into their work. In one instance, Eisenman has inserted herself into a well-known Sherman film still and inscribed on it: "The Worst Road Trip starring Nicole Eisenman as herself and Cindy Sherman as the blond girl." Photos and drawings of Eisenman, along with a rack of T-shirts sporting the "N. Eisenman" logo, also lined the walls of her resale boutique.

The mural recalled The Last Supper, except that the main characters are women in bodysuits, and Jesus Christ is replaced by an apron-clad server dishing up Sloppy Joes. Inspired by Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling, Picasso's bathers and old-master portraiture, Eisenman's new canvases are richer and more fleshed out than the cartoonlike monochromes shown in the past, and her gender-bender humor is more subdued. In both Fishing and Hunting, for example, men are helpless prisoners in icy, crystalline Arctic landscapes, fully at the mercy of their warrior-huntress conquerors whose demeanors are grim and sullen. Eschewing a stable style, Eisenman investigates the many ways of making art and, in the process, engages broader subject matter to reflect on her more immediate concerns.
