Genius, Visionary, Icon: The Culture of Celebrity in the Contemporary Art World

from Notable Lectures and Performances at Colorado College · host Colorado College

Why do some artists become famous, while others labor in obscurity? In this presentation, art historian Erika Doss will trace the construction of art world celebrity from Jackson Pollock's feature spread in Life magazine in 1949 through Andy Warhol's Factory fame, to the present art world infatuation with Matthew Barney. Doss is professor of art history at the University of Colorado, where she specializes in American, modern and contemporary art, visual culture studies, and cultural history. Recorded November 30, 2006.
