About the Item

Richard Corman Madonna NYC 83, 2013 Offset lithograph poster on high quality thin card paper (hand signed by the photographer) Hand signed by Richard Corman on the lower left front Published by Milk Gallery, New York and printed by Duggal Provenance: Signed by the artist for the Milk Gallery exhibition Acquired directly from the photographer Print is accompanied by gallery-issued COA 32 × 24 inches Unframed This gorgeous offset lithograph poster was printed by Manhattan's renowned Duggal print shop on the occasion of an elegantly curated 2013 exhibition of Richard Corman's iconic photographs of Madonna from the early 1980s, at the Milk Gallery near Chelsea's High Line. More than 50 images were on display in Milk Gallery New York from November 15 through December 15, 2013. This poster is boldly signed in silver sharpie by the photographer. It was designed by Corman himself, and it features one of his iconic Madonna photographs in Prada pink -- to match the color of the cover of the limited edition book of polaroids Corman took of Madonna in 1983. The letters NYC 83 are also creatively designed to look like the instantly recognizable New York City subway lettering - matching the design of the spine of the monograph "Madonna NYC 83" published by Damiani around the same time. This pink poster is not numbered but according to Corman, not that many were printed, and he hand signed only about a dozen. More information about the exhibition from the Milk Gallery's original promotional materials: Madonna NYC83 is an era-defining collection of images from Richard Corman’s photo shoots with the ‘material girl’ in 1983 as she released her first studio album. Corman shared with Milk Gallery his thoughts on the 1980s New York creative scene, when fashion, art and music collided. “It was original, it was unique and it was on fire,” Corman said. Madonna and the budding photographer first met at her East Village apartment and “for the next several hours, the pair walked the streets of New York City as she turned nursing homes, rooftops and building rubble into her own personal photo studio,” Milk says. Richard Corman Photography and Madonna met for their first photo shoot in New York City in 1983. "Early in May of 1983, I got a call from my mother, Cis Corman. She was casting Scorsese’s new film, The Last Temptation of Christ and said she’d just auditioned a woman I really had to photograph. “She’s an original! I’ve never met anyone like her!” I was just beginning my career, and I was always looking for charismatic subjects, so I agreed. The woman was Madonna, and the part she’d auditioned for was the Virgin Mary." Richard Corman Sadly, Milk Gallery has shuttered, so this poster is now a collector's item. More information on Milk Gallery - before it closed: The Milk Gallery is a contemporary gallery and cultural space specializing in photography as well as publishing, curatorial services, and archival management for collections and estates.

Wonderful retro piece from the early 1980s art scene in lower Manhattan. This will look gorgeous in any room in the home or office - or in a dance studio! Robert Longo Biography Robert Longo was born in 1953 in Brooklyn and grew up in Long Island, New York. He graduated high school in 1970, weeks after the Ohio National Guard massacred several students at Kent State University who were protesting the U.S. invasion of Cambodia. One of those killed was a former classmate of Longo’s, and his body was shown in a Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph that was seen across the world. The event shocked Longo, triggering his interest in political activism and media imagery. In 1972, Longo received a grant to study restoration and art history in Florence. While touring the museums of Europe, he realized he wanted to make, rather than restore art. In 1973, Longo enrolled at Buffalo State College, where he worked for artists Paul Sharits and Hollis Frampton, who introduced him to structuralist filmmaking. Along with Charles Clough, Longo also co-founded Hallwalls (1974–ongoing), an alternative non-profit art exhibition space where he organized shows and talks with artists such as John Baldessari, Lynda Benglis, Robert Irwin, Joan Jonas, Bruce Nauman, and Richard Serra. At Buffalo State, Longo started a friendship–that still exists to this day–with Cindy Sherman, and in 1977 the two moved to New York together, where Longo began working as a studio assistant to Vito Acconci and Dennis Oppenheim. That year he was included in the exhibition Pictures at Artist’s Space, curated by Douglas Crimp, which showcased work by a group of five young artists who were engaged with the politics of image-making, drawing from advertisements, newspapers, film, and television. The “Pictures Generation,” as they became known, included artists such as Cindy Sherman, Richard Prince, Louise Lawler, David Salle, and drew from semiotics and poststructuralist theory to investigate the way meaning is made and circulated in modern society. Their work often critiqued the anaesthetizing power of consumer capitalism and the indoctrinating effects of mass media. At his first solo show at Metro Pictures in 1981, Longo presented his charcoal and graphite Men in the Cities drawings, which instantly became icons of the “Pictures Generation,” and some of the most recognizable artworks of the 1980s. Longo performed in New York rock clubs with the band Menthol Wars with Richard Prince, throughout the 1980s. During that period, he also designed numerous album covers, including Glenn Branca’s The Ascension (1981) and The Replacements’ Tim (1985). In 1986, he directed his first music video for New Order’s chart-topping song Bizarre Love Triangle, and the following year directed The One I Love, a video for R.E.M.’s first hit single. Longo began working with diverse materials at increasingly ambitious scales. His Combines series, first exhibited in 1983, incorporated materials such as paint, graphite, wood, plaster, cast bronze, and steel in works that were part-painting, part-sculptural reliefs. Using Sergei Eisenstein’s theory of montage to juxtapose conflicting imagery and forms, they touched on many of the themes of war, alienation, and consumption that have remained central to Longo’s practice. The Combines were followed in 1990 by Black Flags, a series of cast bronze American Flags...
