The Lipscomb University Art Department will host art historian and critic Thomas Crow in its Presidential Lectureships for Art and Art History, Thursday, April 8, in board room 147 in the Ezell Center. Crow is a Rosalie Solow Professor of Modern Art History at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University, American art historian and art critic who is best known for his influential writing on the role of art in modern society and culture. He is the author of six books, including Painters and Public Life in Eighteenth-Century Paris, Modern Art in the Common Culture, The Rise of the Sixties, and The Intelligence of Art. He has more recently published essays on Robert Smithson, Gordon Matta-Clark, Robert Rauschenberg, Ed Ruscha, Jasper Johns, and the interchanges between Andy Warhol and Bob Dylan. He has taught at Princeton University, Yale University, University of Michigan Ann Arbor. Andy Warhol has been perhaps the most thoroughly exhibited and discussed artist of the later twentieth century—as well as the most frequently cited antecedent for contemporary art practices. For all that, the reasons for his undiminished prominence, unique in his generation, remain elusive. This lecture will try to explain Warhol’s virtual status as a contemporary artist by looking for some deeper and largely unexamined forces within the original body of work, forces that still work on artists and viewers today.
