The Cities Collect is safe art
Le repas frugal. Pablo Picasso. 1904
by Clea Felien
The latest show at the Walker is called The Cities Collect. This show highlights the
personal collections of more than 60 local collectors. With almost 200 works of art, this
show provides much to look at.
There are numerous masterpieces of Picasso’s, and paintings by the terribly groovy
90's bad girl artist Elizabeth Peyton. This show ranges from the serious collectors who
own many of the established abstract and expressionist art of the first half of the
century to the brave new collectors who are willing to go out on a limb and purchase
artwork by artists who are still alive. Overall this show is a wonderful example of 20th
century art.
As we enter we first see a beautiful Georgia O'keefe. This piece belongs to the Curtis
collection, arguably one of the richest collections in Minnesota. Strolling through the
collection we see unusual and early paintings by Philip Guston, beautiful pieces by Emil
Nolde, Oscar Kokoshka, Otto Dix and other Expressionist and Fauve painters. The highlight
of this group being a gorgeous drawing by Egon Schile.
Another collector shares his obsession with George Baslitz: an entire room devoted to his
art. Baslitz is a contemporary expressionistic painter who paints upside down. Baslitz's
thick impasto use of paint emotes sensual visceral responses. His sculpture elicits the
same response. Large thick gouges into raw untreated wood that appear clumsy but maintain
an elegance. Slowly these carvings give way to an awkward emotive figure.
The second level appears to be mostly work from the 60s to the present. A very impressive
collection of Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe prints. A complete set of Jasper John's number
series. Some lovely Cy Twombly scribbles. And a wall of interesting portraits by mostly
living artists.
My critique of this show, and even great shows have room for improvement, would be that
there is almost no art by local artists. Having kept a close eye on art by artists right
here in Minneapolis, I have to say I think we have some pretty great artworks. Also, the
collectors shown are the ones with lots of cash. I would like to take this time to
personally thank all the people with very little money who just love art, who buy it
because they can't live without it. It brightens their day, it makes them think. They are
drawn to art for reasons other than the feeling of being more educated, more chic, or more
sophisticated. It is people who save for a piece by an unknown artist that are the real
collectors. The people who buy art before it has the art worlds stamp of approval. These
are the real heroes in the world of art buying. It’s a shame more of this was not in
The Cities Collect show.
Perhaps the Walker could go out on a limb and throw in some not fully established artists,
supported by some not fabulously wealthy collectors. Let’s breathe a little life into
the dusty institution of tried and true, safe, collecting.
Exhibit continues through January 7, 2000. Walker Art Center, Vineland Place, Mpls.,
