Welcome to the Art Angle, a podcast from Artnet News that delves into the places where the art w orld meets the real world, bringing each week’s biggest story down to earth. Join us every week for an in-depth look at what matters most in museums, the art market, and much more, with input from our own writers and editors, as well as artists, curators, and other top experts in the field.

When you hear the name Roy Lichtenstein, an artistic style immediately comes to mind. In the early 1960s, Lichtenstein’s use of comic books as an inspiration for his brightly-colored Pop Art painting was groundbreaking, and even shocking.

Today, he is one of the most instantly-recognizable and widely known of all painters, and yet a quarter of a century after his death, the subject of Roy Lichtenstein’s source material has unexpectedly become a hot topic once again.

In the 1960s, Lichtenstein’s paintings sold for thousands of dollars; in 1995, just a few years before he died, his painting Nurse sold at auction for $1.7 million, and then in 2015 the same painting hit the auction block once again, this time selling for a staggering $95 million, making it one of the most expensive paintings in the world.

While marketing that sale, Christie’s auction house said that the imagery in Nurse was drawn from what it called a “comic romance novel” of the early 1960s. What the auction house did not mention was the actual person who drew the original panel Lichtenstein used as source material for that painting was the golden age comic Arthur Petty, and in the world of comic art, this lack of respect for Lichtenstein’s sources is a big, big deal.

In museums, the artist’s status may be unquestionable, but crossover into the parallel universe of comic art and Lichtenstein’s status is viewed as a symbol of the disrespect to comics as an art form, and the man himself is seen as a thief who copied hard-working artists without even bothering to credit them by name.

Instead of healing over time, this particular rift seems to have only become more inflamed as Lichtenstein’s stock has soared. Some of the most famous voices in comics from Dave Gibbons, the artist behind the groundbreaking graphic novel Watchmen to Art Spiegelman, the Pulitzer Prize-winning creator of Maus, to Neil Gaiman, writer of the legendary comic series The Sandman have all been outspoken, blasting museums for failing to credit the unique voices of the comic book artists who inspired Roy Lichtenstein.

The story of the many meanings of Roy Lichtenstein is a story of the shifting relations between museum art and comic culture, of money, morality, and the law; and of how meaning in art is always shifting. At least, that’s one takeaway from the new streaming documentary WHAAM! BLAM! Roy Lichtenstein and the Art of Appropriation. This week, national art critic Ben Davis spoke to the film’s director James L. Hussey to discuss the issues it raised.

When Shelby Toole entered the University of Mississippi as an integrated marketing communications major, she never expected to become a potter. She took pottery classes during college and fell in love with the craft.

Now, after expanding into other creative areas, her jewelry is being noticed by others in the spotlight. Erin Napier, of HGTV’s “Hometown,” posted a photo of a pair of her ceramic earrings on Instagram.

After graduating and attending graduate school for her master’s degree in IMC, Toole began teaching pottery at the local community center before starting her own business.

“I started taking pottery classes as a freshmen at Ole Miss, and I just fell in love with it,” she said. “I took it every semester, and it was kind of like of my therapy. In grad school, I started teaching at the community center, but when COVID hit, classes died down.”

Her love for pottery eventually turned from a passion into a business. Toole describes SJ Ceramic Company as: “Functional pottery and personal enjoyment. It isn’t a brand or business. I picture my work as my art…I like taking a piece of pottery, and letting it slow people down, and letting it invite people in to take in the day.”

IMC graduate Shelby Toole with her pottery.

SJ Ceramic Company, (SJ stands for Soul Joy), started in 2019 and has largely been run through online stores and social media platforms like Etsy and Instagram, but she also sets up booths in local and state art festivals. The majority of pieces Toole makes are personalized commissions customers can request.

The company is largely a one-woman business. “It’s just me, but I ask my sister to help me with the miscellaneous work,” she said.

Running a one-person business can be stressful, but Toole sees it as a method of expression. “In the big picture, it’s a business, but at the center (the art) is the heart of it,” she said.

Toole said she sometimes becomes creatively blocked when she is involved in large shows or has large orders. “It’s easy to get in production mode and have to remind myself to do something fun,” she said.

For Toole, the best way to overcome a creative block is to avoid putting pressure on yourself, step away, and do something you enjoy. Some of her biggest inspirations are artists Keith Haring, Adam Trest, and Walter Anderson. She is influenced by their use of movement, abstract shapes, nature scenes and vivid colors.

One of the biggest struggles with running SJ Ceramics Company is monitoring inventory. Though actually making the pieces is exciting, displaying and advertising the finished product can be tedious and tiresome.

“Even though I have a master’s for (marketing)…the online aspect can be heavy because there’s a lot that goes into selling a product and showing it off,” she said.

Everyone wants to do what they love for a living, but that doesn’t mean we love every part of what we do.

“(Glazing) is my least favorite part of the process,” she said. “It can sometimes be the most intimidating because I’m overwhelmed with all the options.”

Once a piece is made, it is the only one in existence, which gives the customer something that truly belongs only to them. The company produces many products, from plates, cups, and pots to earrings and necklaces, all hand-made from porcelain. All earrings are made with a form of 14k gold.

Toole loves to create jewelry, cups, plates. Her life motto, “drink well,” which means to take in life and all that it offers, is part of her art. Her cups and mugs often have this message abstractly carved into them, connecting message, art and functionality.

Though SJ Ceramics Company is primarily run by Toole, her biggest helper and supporter is her sister Kellie Bickes, who helps with marketing, product assembly, and often travels with her to art shows and festivals throughout the state.

“I was very excited for her because she was always very artistic growing up,” Bickes said. “I would describe her art as very organic. Everything’s bright and happy and makes you want to gather with friends and family. They’re always good pieces to have in your home; they’re all very inviting.”

For those who wish to have their own Shelby Toole creation and support SJ Ceramics Company, they can be found on Etsy under SJ Ceramics Company and at the upcoming Double Decker Arts Festival April 28 – 29.

Carolyn Long Banks, first Black woman to serve on Atlanta City Council, civil rights leader dies

Last night, the Atlanta City Council announced the passing of its former councilmember, Carolyn Long Banks. 

Banks, a civil rights activist, made history as the first African American woman to serve on the council in 1980.

“Throughout her life, she had an unwavering commitment toward social and economic justice,” said Council members Michale Julian Bond and Andrea Boone in a joint statement. “Her legacy with the Atlanta Student Movement and the Committee on Appeal for Human Rights will always serve as an inspiration.”

In the 1960′s, she gained experience in the Atlanta Student Movement and participated in the Committee on Appeal for Human Rights. She worked with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the committee to create a manifesto outlining the Black community’s problems. 

In 1962, she was invited to integrate the Magnolia Room and later became one of the first Black women in a management position at Rich’s department store.

Funeral arrangements have yet to be announced by print time.

The supplies will be provided by Scraplanta, a nonprofit that collects materials that would otherwise go to the landfill, selling and reusing the items for arts and crafts. The Scraplanta team’s efforts are multifaceted — with a retail store, creative workshops, partnerships with local schools and a gallery space. Click here to learn more about the organization.

“We are super excited about the ‘Scraps’ bringing the community together and promoting sustainability in a fun and creative way,” L5PBiz President Kelly Stocks wrote in a press release. “We’re thrilled to partner with Scraplanta on this project and to offer monthly recurring events that showcase the artistic talent of our community.”

In the U.S., one in five seniors face hunger. (Photo courtesy of UnitedHealthcare of Georgia, Meals on Wheels Atlanta.)

UnitedHealthcare, Meals on Wheels Atlanta deliver 1,000 meals to local seniors

In Georgia, one in nine seniors are food insecure, meaning they lack reliable access to nutritious food. 

To support local seniors who need healthy food, UnitedHealthcare of Georgia teamed up with Meals on Wheels Atlanta (MOWA) to prepare, package and deliver over 1,000 meals. The teams delivered 210 dinner boxes across the city, each containing five hot meals. 

“People might recognize UnitedHealthcare as an insurance company, but we are a health care company and that means looking at things beyond the measures in a doctor’s office that make up a person’s whole health,” Anna Helmrath, executive director of UnitedHealthcare Medicare & Retirement Plans of Georgia, wrote to SaportaReport. 

“Healthy food is a vital first step to better health overall, and our time at Meals on Wheels Atlanta is one more way our team is working to ensure access to healthy food for some of the most vulnerable community members.”

Founded in 1965, MOWA supports seniors experiencing hunger, food insecurity and social isolation. In Atlanta, 70 percent of MOWA’s recipients depend on these services as their only food source.

SCAD “Paint Our Parks” completes basketball court mural at APS school

Earlier this month, the Savannah College of Art and Design unveiled its latest creation from its “Paint Our Parks” (POP) initiative. 

The school’s SCAD SERVE community program completed a mural on the basketball court at Usher-Collier Elementary School on Atlanta’s Westside. 

POP is focused on serving Atlanta residents through the creativity, expertise and altruism of SCAD’s students, professors and alumni. 

“The SCAD POP public art initiative provides an extraordinary opportunity for our neighbors to enjoy creative spaces designed to be inspiring and joyful backdrops of their lives,” said Alexandria Hall, a SCAD alumn and SCAD SERVE Ambassador who designed the mural. “Experiencing firsthand the positive impact our murals have on the next generation of visual innovators is beyond special.”

Atlanta Public Schools (APS) partnered with SCAD to help them revitalize their recreational spaces throughout the school system. 

“The renovation and beautification of an unused slab of concrete will bring joy and learning opportunities to the students and staff,” said Dr. Sara Womack, Fine and Performing Arts Coordinator for APS. “The vacant space will house basketball games, hopscotch and four-square matches in a colorful and cheerful setting.”

Atlanta Police Department honors anniversary of hiring first eight Black officers

Last week, the Atlanta Police Department (APD) commemorated the 75th anniversary of the first eight African American officers at APD. Members of the force, family and friends of the original eight gathered at the Auburn Research Library to celebrate.

The officers honored were Claude Dixon, Henry Hooks, Johnnie Jones, Ernest Lyons, Robert McKibbens, John Sanders, Willard Strickland and Willie Elkins.

The police officers were hired on March 8, 1948, which was 75 years after APD was established. Atlanta was the second city in Georgia to hire Black police officers, with Savannah as the first. However, the force wasn’t fully integrated until the 1960s.

The Tannery Arts Center is set to host a free public art event on April 22nd, showcasing a series of new public art projects produced by Arts Council Santa Cruz County in partnership with Radius Gallery, First Friday Art Tour, City of Santa Cruz Economic Development, John Stewart Company, and Artspace.

The event will include tours and artist talks, providing the public with an opportunity to learn more about the new sculptures, murals, and community engagement activities featured in the series. These works reflect artists’ responses to movement, community health and connectivity, participatory design, and the environment.

Starting at 2 pm, the free and family-friendly event will take place at the Margaret Salz Lezin Memorial Garden, located at 1070 River Street by Arts Council Santa Cruz County’s office. Each artist will speak about their art practice and process, followed by a chance to chat with the artists and friends over refreshments at Radius Gallery.

Among the projects featured in the series is exTANt, a collaboration between public historian Kathleen Aston and media artist Yulia Gilich. This audio tour will trace historical linkages between communities who lived and worked at the Tannery Arts Center, from Indigenous peoples and former Salz Tannery workers to Tannery Art Center live/work artists.

Another featured project is Stellar Motion, a kinetic steel sculpture by Moto Ohtake, inspired by elements of nature on both a macro and micro level. Wind-driven, the sculpture provides viewers with infinite movements ranging from agitated to tranquil as weather patterns change, reminding us of our connection to the greater universe and heightening awareness of our immediate natural and built surroundings.

Also included in the series is Unlimited Language, a mural by Heejin Lee that reflects the color and substance present at the Tannery Arts Center. Lee connected with passersby and tenants while creating the mural, reflecting and listening to their experiences viewing it. She hopes that people who see the mural will feel a sense of connection and belonging, and enjoy and participate in the diverse forms of art at the Tannery.

For more information about the Public Art Talk & Tour event, visit the Tannery Arts Center website here.

After several years of working primarily with white paper, Kanako Abe has shifted to color. The Seattle-based artist is known for her exquisite Kirie works—a traditional Japanese art form that translates to cut picture—and she’s recently begun to incorporate rich blue and gold sheets tinted with rust, indigo, and various materials foraged from forests. “When I dye the paper, I don’t know how the hue, color, or texture would turn out, but I just go with the flow, trust the process, and embrace the imperfection,” she shares.

This sentiment contrasts the impeccable precision of her compositions, which often feature silhouettes, hands, animals, or household objects encircled by delicate botanical filigree. The idea to pair organic dyes with meticulous cuts was born in the early days of the pandemic, when “in such state of the world, the attitude of trying to have control over something felt very stressful, so I started feeling out of alignment with my art making method,” Abe says. “This new method, which I’m still experimenting and exploring, allows me to meditate on a thought that the world around us is changeable.” The resulting works are as intricate as her earlier pieces, although they place greater emphasis on the limits and possibilities of human touch.

Head to Instagram for more of Abe’s papercuts and to peek into her process.

Besides a stint in California, Amber Guyton is a Southerner through and through. Born and raised in South Carolina and now in Atlanta, she had a fintech and marketing career before listening to her mother and launching Blessed Little Bungalow as first a blog, then a design business.

At the upcoming High Point Market, Guyton will be speaking at several panels (“How to Become a Market Maven” on April 21, “Let’s Get Visible! Courses, Podcasts and Influencers for the Win with Tobi Fairley” on April 22 and “Why You Need a Sales Ecosystem Educational” on April 23) and leading a Suite Spot Tour on April 24. 

Tell us about the bedroom design on our April 2023 cover and the project overall.

“My clients were newlyweds and sought my assistance with their new construction home in Goose Creek, S.C. Zaria was a repeat client as I designed with her bold magenta glam room in a previous apartment, but in their new home, I’d needed to combine their preferred design styles in a gender-neutral way, while still providing a colorful and cultural aesthetic that was welcoming and livable. The teal channeled upholstered bed and patterned wallpaper by Forbes Masters x Mitchell Black instantly made a statement in their primary bedroom. I loved working with this couple and giving their blank canvas build so much personality!”

Besides a stint in California, you’ve always lived in the South somewhere. What about the South appeals to you?

“I was born and raised in South Carolina, and my previous tech and marketing career has taken me across the country and back in Georgia, Texas and California. Nothing feels like home like the South. It’s made me who I am. The people are priceless. The history and charm are timeless. As much as I thirst for the big city and enjoy traveling the world, nothing compares to the Southeast for this little country girl from the Carolinas.”

How did you get to interior design? What were you doing before you made the leap?

“I’ve always been a creative and enjoyed decorating my spaces. When I purchased a home in San Antonio, I moved in the day I closed and decorated the entire house in a week. My family and friends were shocked because they were expecting to help unpack boxes. My mom challenged me with the question, “When are you going to do this for real?” That ah-ha moment led me to create my blog, Blessed Little Bungalow, in 2016. At first, it was just as a creative outlet for me to share my home decor experience, and over the years, I decorated dozens of client homes through my hobby-turned-side hustle. In 2021, I decided to take the leap and leave my marketing and fintech career and devote all of my attention to my growing business.”

What activities or places do you recommend to first-time visitors of Atlanta?

“Being a boomerang Atlantan (lived here 2010-2015 and 2021-present) and a resident within the city limits, I love the people and culture in this melting pot of a metropolis. The best places to walk, eat, shop and people watch include Inman Park, Ponce City Market and the Beltline. Also don’t leave without experiencing some history (e.g. The King Center and National Center for Civil and Human Rights).”

What’s your favorite item or space in your own home and why?

“I don’t watch much TV and only have one in my home, but I love my Samsung Frame TV. I love how it is minimalistic and flush to the wall. When not in use, I have it on Art Mode and display different abstract and landscape artwork or photography on the screen.”

Is there a historical or art period that inspires you? 

“Having lived in many smaller homes, apartments and studios, I love mid-century modern furniture as it’s minimalism takes up less space in a design while still adding warmth and character. There is usually an element of midcentury modern in each of my design projects, whether it be the shape of a chair, use of walnut and brass, or geometrical patterns included.”

Any interior design trends you’re loving right now?

“I will always be a lover of accent and gallery walls. I know folks are sick of them, but they don’t have to put them in their homes. LOL I think it’s a great way to create a focal point or create conversation in a room without a heavy lift in cost or effort.”

What’s your favorite travel destination and why?

“I’ve been to about 30 countries and my favorite stops have been Kenya and Italy. I know they are drastically different, but my heart is so happy in each place surrounded by the culture and people. During my visits, it’s as if time stopped and I felt how small I am in this beautiful world. In the U.S., my favorite cities – besides Atlanta – are New Orleans and San Francisco for the same reasons – history, cultures, architecture and FOOD!”

Vanessa Filley describes a recent body of work as “imagined cosmic map(s),” charts that connect the traditions of fiber arts with the present and the artist’s own questions of finding one’s place in the world. Titled In the Delicate Meshes, the series is comprised of sewn pieces that Filley likens to quilts, with stitches layered into symmetric patchworks of color and texture. “I am interested in the energetic threads that orient and connect us, ground us in place and time, yet tether us to our ancestral past and future—the lines that bring us home,” she says.

Filley references artists like Lenore Tawney, Hilma af Klint, and the women of Gees Bend Quilters, whose practices connect to spirituality, nature, and ancestral histories. Taut threads and twists embody tension and connection between both ends of a stitch, the intricate structures of the works as a whole, and the long tradition of fiber arts. “Each piece in this series is a quilted conversation, a way of taking the disparate questions and feeling of a given moment and mingling them with inspiration from the outside world and the work of those who came before,” the artist says.

In the Delicate Meshes was recently on view at Vivid Art Gallery in Winnetka, and you can find more of the series along with an archive of Filley’s works on her site and Instagram.
