Prime Minister Gives Obama Street Art As A Gift!

It is hardly a typical gift from one world leader to another – a painting by a graffiti artist with three convictions for criminal damage.

Cameron gives Obama street art present

For Mr Cameron picked a work by a little-known British artist who perfected his skill defacing or beautifying – depending on one’s point of view – the underpasses, bridges and train carriages of his native south London.

Ben Eine’s colourful typographic works might be known to the street art aficionados of Shoreditch and Spitalfields, but his name is hardly in the same league as Banksy, the elusive but publicity-conscious graffiti artist.

Eine’s handmade screen prints sell for as little as £100; his paintings don’t go for more than £7,500.

Graffiti is taking over!

Jean Baptiste Camille Corot’s ‘Portrait of a Girl’ was lost on a drunken night out. James Carl Haggerty is now being sued by one of the owners of “Portrait of a Girl” by the French artist Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot.

I’m sure if this was one of my paintings I’d do the same.

Jean-Michel Basquiat: Radiant Child Trailer

Zeph Farmby — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 21:56:15 +0000

The opening of the film Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child in Los Angeles will be held on Friday, August 20th at the Landmark Nuart.

Centered on a rare interview that director and friend Tamra Davis shot with Basquiat over twenty years ago, this definitive documentary chronicles the meteoric rise and fall of the young artist. In the crime-ridden NYC of the 1970s, he covers the city with the graffiti tag SAMO. In 1981 he puts paint on canvas for the first time, and by 1983 he is an artist with “rock star status.” He achieves critical and commercial success, though he is constantly confronted by racism from his peers. In 1985 he and Andy Warhol become close friends and painting collaborators, but they part ways and Warhol dies suddenly in 1987. Basquiat’s heroin addiction worsens, and he dies of an overdose in 1988 at the age of 27. The artist was 25 years old at the height of his career, and today his canvases sell for more than a million dollars. With compassion and psychological insight, Tamra Davis details the mysteries that surround this charismatic young man, an artist of enormous talent whose fortunes mirrored the rollercoaster quality of the downtown scene he seemed to embody.
