Dynamic Duos: The Art of Working in Pairs

By Andy Grundberg, Nancy Spero, Leon Golub, Alighiero Boetti |The New York Public Library

Artistic duos are iconic fixtures of the modern and contemporary art world. Coming together in temporary or long-term partnerships—as a result of romantic relationships, sibling ties, or friendships—they resist ideas of the singular genius and instead celebrate a sense of the collaborative and collective, often with the aim of effecting societal change or making a political statement.

William Klein, innovative street and fashion photographer, dies at 96

By Andy Grundberg |SFGate Verified

From his earliest years, Mr. Klein said, he was attuned to seeing the world as a perpetual foreigner. He grew up in Depression-era Manhattan, a Jewish boy in a largely Irish neighborhood where he endured poverty and antisemitic bullying. Self-reliance and a quick eye for his surroundings were means to survival - and so was art. At 12, he began spending weekends roaming the Museum of Modern Art, where his own work would one day be displayed.

By Andy Grundberg |The American Scholar Verified

Revenge of the Goldfish by Sandy Skoglund, 1981 (© 1981, Sandy Skoglund) At the midpoint of the 20th century, anyone venturing into a gallery or museum would have been hard-pressed to find any photographs on view among the displays of paintings, drawings, prints, and sculpture.

By Michael Roth, Andy Grundberg |Post Outlook Verified

When Andy Grundberg wanted to take a photography course at Cornell University in the 1960s, he had to go to its agriculture school. It wasn’t long, however, before artists everywhere were exploring photography as a part of their creative practice, and by the 1980s, the medium was at the center of contemporary art and the “aesthetic driver” of the most exciting work to be found in galleries and studios.

Review/Photography - Photos by Peter Hujar, A Mapplethorpe Precursor - NYTimes.com

By Andy Grundberg |The New York Times Verified

Even before his death in 1987, Peter Hujar was known as an overlooked and underappreciated photographer. His mostly underground reputation was based on his portraits of artists and writers and on his frank chronicle of the hip homosexual scene of the 1970's. Because of his subject matter and his preference for square, black-and-white prints, Hujar is viewed by his most ardent admirers as a precursor of Robert Mapplethorpe.
