Interview

There's great irony in the fact that Rob Pruitt is the man putting together the Guggenheim’s First Annual Art Awards, a sort of tongue-and-cheek version of the Oscars for contemporary American art. It’s the kind of irony more befitting a Hollywood film script than the New York art scene. On October 29, before an assemblage of heavyweights in the Guggenheim Museum rotunda, faux-champagne-bottle-in-ice-bucket lamp awards will be doled out to the winners of Solo Show of the Year, Group Show of the Year, Curator of the Year, and Artist of the Year, among a myriad of other categories.  ARTICLE PUBLISHED: 10/26/09

Jonathan Horowitz might be the cleverest artist alive. At age 42, he's already New York's master at blending irony, politics, and humor in such surprising and off-putting forms that it's hard to stand in front of one of his brutal pop works and not think, My God, the whole problem and answer is right there and I can almost-but not quite-grasp it. He's done drawings of the electronic dots on a StairMaster console, devoted a video work to the deaf and mute in Hollywood cinema, and split the front graphic of a Pepsi and Coke soda machine right down the middle like a two-party choice. Horowitz is the art world's Jonathan Swift.  ARTICLE PUBLISHED: 11/29/08
