New York critic and curator Carlo McCormick picks the 10 pieces that cemented the radical legacy of a game-changing art scene
New York curator and cultural critic Carlo McCormick is proud and serene as he describes the National Gallery of Victoria’s blockbuster 2020 exhibition, Crossing Lines, as a “celebration”. He’s also quick to note that this is not just a celebration of the men whose names are on the door.
“Keith [Haring] and Jean-Michel [Basquiat] are really ciphers that signify a whole group of artists and community,” says McCormick, who guest curated the show. “Every bit of modernism was actually a gang of friends getting together.” And there’s no arguing that this gang – “a bunch of bratty kids” – defined an era.
