The International Center of Photography (ICP) will present a major retrospective exhibition showcasing the work of William Klein in summer 2022. The first U.S. exhibition devoted to Klein’s work in more than a generation, William Klein: YES; Photographs, Paintings, Films, 1948–2013 will fill ICP’s entire museum space and spans Klein’s career from a studio assistant to Fernand Léger in Paris in 1948 through photographing Brooklyn in 2013. William Klein: YES will be on view at ICP from June 3 through September 12, 2022, and is curated by David Campany, ICP’s Curator-at-Large.

William Klein: YES will feature more than 200 works, including photographs, paintings, films, photobooks, and other media from Klein’s six-decade career. A fully illustrated catalogue, written by David Campany and published by Thames & Hudson, will accompany the exhibition.

William Klein: YES; Photographs, Paintings, Films, 1948–2013

Street photographer. Fashion photographer. Painter. Graphic designer. Abstract artist. Writer. Filmmaker. Book maker. Few have transformed as many fields of art and culture as William Klein. From his wildly inventive photographic studies of New York, Rome, Moscow, and Tokyo to bold and witty fashion photographs; from cameraless abstract photography to iconic celebrity portraits; from documentary films about Muhammad Ali, Little Richard, and the Pan-African Festival of Algiers to fiction films about the beauty industry, imperialism, and consumer culture, Klein has made every form and genre his own. Through it all runs his distinct graphic energy and deep affection for humanity’s struggles through the chaos of modern life.

Born in Manhattan in 1928, Klein visited the city’s art museums as a teenager and longed to get to Europe. By 1948 he was in Paris where he studied at the Sorbonne, worked briefly under artist Fernand Léger, and where he has lived ever since. For decades he juggled commercial assignments around the world with personal projects in photography, film, painting, and publishing. His output was prodigious. There were few exhibitions until the late 1980s, when he began to look back at his achievements. Gaining the admiration of younger generations, he returned to the fashion world and continued to make groundbreaking films and photobooks.

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Hip Hop, In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Hip Hop, and the misogyny that too often was present throughout the movement’s formative years, a mural is being painted in @explorestlouis on Washington Ave across from @wallsoffwashington with 50 artists highlighting 50 female Hip Hop figures. Here’s a taste.
At the same time, @stlartmuseum debuts “The Culture: Hip Hop and Contemporary Art,” a look at the intersection of Hip Hop and contemporary fine art, later this year. I wrote about show when it opened at @baltimoremuseumofart - looks FANTASTIC!

@sothebys will be auctioning this #VanGogh paintin @sothebys will be auctioning this #VanGogh painting, Jardin devant le Mas Debray, on 16 May, during its marquee Modern Art Evening Sale. Estimate: $20 – 30 Million,
The painting was completed by Van Gogh during a short but transformative period spent living with his brother Theo in #Paris between 1886 – 1887. 
Painted on the cusp of his move to the South of France, the influences of Paris would remain with Van Gogh during his “golden years” in Arles where he would create the greatest works of his career. 
Van Gogh’s years in Paris were so significant because he encountered the work of Impressionist painters for the very first time, mixing with likes of Paul Cézanne, Georges Seurat, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Émile Bernard in the cafés and taverns of Montmartre, and rapidly absorbing their ideas. The Parisian avant-garde and styles of Impressionism had a profound effect on the way in which Van Gogh approached his work, and he embarked on a series of still lifes and landscapes of the surrounding areas, abandoning the dark palette which dominated many of his early paintings in Holland, and instead using vibrant colour. 
Inspired by the rural vistas of the city, Jardin devant le Mas Debray embodies this period of radical new direction and experimentation, implementing bright yellow tones to convey the Debray farmhouse in #Montmartre. 
It is extremely rare for works from this time to appear at auction as so few remain in private hands, with the majority held in museum collections around the world. Jardin devant le Mas Debray is the most valuable work by Van Gogh from 1887 ever offered at auction.
Time running out to see @anilaquayyumagha “Fligh Time running out to see @anilaquayyumagha “Flight Patterns” at @cummermuseum @visit_jax. Show closes Sunday, April 30.
