About this deal

The foundation of Art-Rite’s work is intended to help collectors approach diverse segments and genres, as well as introducing new collectors to the art market, thanks to sales at various levels of accessibility and investment. Attention focused on lateral ‘rhizomatic’ developments, as the art world became interdisciplinary with a vengeance and engulfed other art forms—dance, video, music, film, architecture, books. The application goes on to describe the magazine’s “close relationship with the art community” and its reflection of “the younger generation’s view. Robinson later noted that while the program is now very competitive, it wasn’t as structured at the time, and hadn’t yet formally included critics: “I think we just ushered ourselves right in, fit in between the art historians and the artists. A lot of readers, I would guess, may snort, “Oh, sure”—but the remark rings true to my sense of Edit’s character.

Art-Rite moved easily through the expansive community it mapped out, paying homage to an emergent generation of artists, including many who were--or would soon become--the defining voices of the era. A few years later the punk magazines came along, and I realized that’s what I’d wanted—I loved those fanzines. We were riding on the absurdity of the situation—that we were three nobodies, had no money, had no fame, and didn’t know anybody in the art world.Art-Rite maintains its unique position between the major and the underground, and has long been admired for its sharp, humorous street coverage and criticism of the art world. Perfectly positioned between the underground and the establishment, the magazine featured artists who became defining voices of the era, including Laurie Anderson, Chris Burden, Genesis P-Orridge, Patti Smith, and Gordon Matta-Clark. Featuring works by Genesis P-Orridge, Patti Smith, and Laurie Anderson, Art-Rite embodied the anarchic free-for-all that was Downtown New York.

Indeed, Art-Rite had a collaborative relationship with the art world (particularly with its own generation) and had a close relationship with the post-minimal and post-conceptual downtown art community that was in the process of moving away from formalism and towards an art of appropriation. A good deal of thought went into images, so that the issue is virtually a compendium of decisions on how to represent a book visually—whether to show the cover, or individual pages, or individual images cropped from their pages, or perhaps the book as an object, held open by somebody’s hands, which in deAk’s case might also hold a cigarette. Given the established links between the banking system and the art market, Art-Rite promotes collaboration with financial institutions and operators as well as the investment in art as an asset class.

After destroying the conventions of Western art, Modernism had nowhere to go, leaving the playing field wide open at the dawn of the 1970s. He extended this invitation to Cohn, Robinson, and finally deAk, whom, however, it puzzled: “I thought, Aestheticism must be in trouble if they want baby blood—I mean, what do we know?

But New Yorkers, living by Plato’s dictum, “Necessity is the mother of invention,” created brand new forms of art and culture—and nobody could stop them. Lesser known than contemporaries such as Aspen and Avalanche - magazines often evoked for their conceptualisation of the mechanics and materialities of publishing as a post-1960s object - Art-Rite in its original form instead utilised the disposable qualities of newsprint, an iconoclastic gesture against the canon of high production values that commented equally on the inherent disposability of arts journalism.

Meanwhile, artist-focused issues gave over the entire space to the work of individuals or collectives such as Demi, Image Bank, Kim MacConnel, Rosemary Mayer, Judy Rifka, Alan Vega (of the band Suicide), and the Vancouver-based group Western Front. is pleased to present From the Margins: The Making of Art-Rite, an exhibition coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the legendary underground arts magazine. In fact Olitski, Andre, and Bochner, who together might be taken as samples of those three approaches, had all taken hits in earlier issues; perhaps these were the “major artists” who had been fair game “because .

Photography by Peter Grass and Yuri, Edit’s cousin, offered compelling, first-hand documentation of the worlds the magazine was a part of.Still in its formative years, the ISP, which would later count Félix González-Torres, Kathryn Bigelow, and Jenny Holzer among its alumni, only offered programs for artists and art historians. Here, a host of independent publishers offer their original and innovative takes on art, most notably Art/Life Magazine, which Joe Cardella published 11 times a year from 1981 through 2006. Primary Information brings back to life one more essential publication: this time, Art-Rite, the legendary New-York based magazine from the 1970s that made the connection between the gallery scene and the underground, punk and artists’ books, art criticism and jokes, “between craziness and clarity. Edit DeAk, Walter “Mike” Robinson, and Joshua Cohn first met in 1972 as senior year students at Columbia University during an art criticism seminar taught by critic Brian O’Doherty.

dated spring 1975, Art-Rite had begun a phase of opening its issues with a list headed “By, with, and about,” or “By, for, about, and thanks to,” reflecting the braided relationship between the editors and their audience. DeAk has had various health- and life-related problems and by her own account has been “out of the picture for years. I wanted the critics to be powerless—wanted to bring the critics to the artists to make it clear [who they were] . A. Bronson, Naomi Spector, Eve Sonneman, Irena von Zahn, Peter Frank,Kickboy Face, Robert Morgan, Jack Smith, John McCracken, Dick Miller, Peter Plagens, Randall Warnier, Richard Armstrong, Laurie Anderson, Clare Spark, and others.

Ingrid Sischy, who had become the magazine’s editor a year or so earlier, had made Edit a regular contributor, and besides writing unorthodox articles—I remember, for example, a spectacular piece about the hip-hop artist Rammellzee, and another on, of all things, those Cabbage Patch dolls—she served as an all-purpose one-person think tank.
