Richard Hambleton; Art rebel, Pioneer of Street Art & Creator of the Shadowman?

Ask Steve Anything!  ‘Richard Hambleton is a story that hasn’t been told for many years because he was an art rebel, a true artist’s artist’  This is a podcast about Woodbury House and the Richard Hambleton movement. Woodbury represents several artists but currently, their focus is on Richard because of the surge of interest in his work.  In todays episode, Steven provides answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about the artist and explains his pivotal role as a pioneer of street art; a movement that continues to grow in significance within the art collectors world.  This episode is a great way to find out more about this artist’s artist and his importance in the art history of the world.     KEY TAKEAWAYS  The market that has been booming for the last 2 or 3 years is the street art market.  Many of the big auction houses currently hold auctions for this genre of work monthly because of the interest.  An artist heavily associated with this movement, but very elusive is Banksy and many critics acknowledge the influence of Richard Hamilton in the work of Banksy  Street artwork is derived from pop art and one of its most well-known proponents is Andy Warhol. Pop art evolved from a genre begun by Picasso, The Modern Art Movement.  The important art movement of today is street art.  Street art began as a movement to tell the story of New York, the gangs, the street life, the crime, drugs and violence.  Artists wanted to express what was happening through painting the streets.  Richard Hambleton is Canadian and from Vancouver but made his name as a street artist in New York.  His work can be seen in Paris London Rome and other countries around the world but he pioneered most of his work in New York City.  He is primarily aligned with Keith Haring and  Jean-Michael Basquiat and they created their artwork on the streets of New York.  Shortly before his death, his work was admitted for permanent display at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.  Admittance to this collection acknowledges the importance of the artist as a pioneer of the street art movement.  His work includes landscapes known as the beautiful places but he is particularly known for his ‘Shadowmen’ series.  His market continues to grow with increasing prices across auctions and many believe his market will continue to grow stronger.     BEST MOMENTS  ‘If people could have seen how collectable pop art would become then they  would be holding pieces of considerable value’  ‘Today his market has compounded and amplified’  ‘We’ve done many shows and cool collaborations associated with the work of Richard Hambleton’     VALUABLE RESOURCES  The Steven Sully Study Podcast  Woodbury House Art  Richard Hambleton  Keith Haring  Jean-Michel Basquiat        ABOUT THE HOST  The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn't be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships. As a person who has made a success in life and also made huge cock-ups I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit. My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life. My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful.     CONTACT METHOD  http://www.instagram.com/sulley.steven  This show was brought to you by Progressive Media
