So-called "white paintings" are in museums all across the world and Robert Ryman's all-white painting "Bridge" sold for a record $20.6 million at a Christie's auction in 2015. How are these seemingly plain white paintings considered art and why is it that not anyone can pick up a tube of white paint and make one?
We talk to Elisabeth Sherman, an assistant curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York about why there is much more to these paintings than meets the eye, and while you could have painted on of these priceless pieces of art, you didn't.

If you can see art in a white canvas, you don't need anything to see art then. You can litterally see it anywhere, so why pay this much for such a thing? I painted my wall white, I can see the nuance, but why this isn'T consider art, and that white painting is? Because people wanted to see art in this white painting, but not in my wall paint?

The white painting doesn’t make me angry. The monetary value placed on the painting makes me angry. If my neighbor made a white painting and hung it up in their home, it would actually be a really interesting conversation piece. The complete emptiness of this hobby that is exclusively for rich people is what upsets me. The massive amount of resources that they throw around for something indistinguishable from a wall is frustrating. And if the final argument is I need to bring my own something to make up for what the white painting lacks, which is basically everything, then how is it different from staring at my white apartment wall?

this is exactly my take on this. they keep going on about the idea... like sure, the idea is cool. having a slightly off white square in a canvas might suit a very minimalistic room design, and might be an odd, but cool thing to look at. but its definitely not a $200k idea and it's not worth the praise that it gets.

Exactly. There are contexts in which a minimalist work of art would be beautiful, thought-provoking and emotional. Treating an empty canvas as a luxury product and putting it in an overcrowded museum robs it of any possible resonance it could have had and then some. If there's nothing personal from the artist conveyed into the strokes, then certainly little meaning will be birthed from its purchase by a vapid billionaire at an auction house. That being said, I get the reason why the movement originated. I understand how Duchamp's fountain is super relevant, and will remain so. Modern art =/= bad and people who freak out about this kind of thing are also kind of silly. At the same time, anyone who paints a white sheet in the year of our lord and intends only to sell it and make millions is no different than an NFT peddler.

my favorite piece of art like this is “Take the Money and Run” by Jens Haaning. A museum gave this guy $84k for art and in return he gave them two huge blank canvases. my favorite quote on this is "The work is that I have taken their money.” i love it because it doesn’t even pretend to mean something deep. the meaning is right there. it’s lazy art on purpose. the dude is underpaid, he saw his opportunity, he took the money and ran. i am obsessed.

Art today has been ruined by the "Gatekeepers". They claim to be the art experts, but they really are manipulators who want certain styles to become popular, and other styles to go away. This can be figured out by looking at the price history of various styles of paintings. The art scene is more manipulated than tech stocks.

The thing about modern art is that it highlights how the art industry rigs value and displays of art by their author alone. The concept of "I could do that" goes a bit further than they make it sound. It isn't just the fact that the skill required is pretty simple (all things considered), but that the artist, museums, and contacts create absurd prices and fame to artwork regardless of skill. If I sent in my paintings, either my more complicated pieces or simply pieces, no museum or exhibition would display it, because I'm not famous and I don't know any of the others in the know. The problem isn't the art, it's classism.

Art is not defined by skill or time invested, just as it isn't defined by it's value on the market. What makes art is emotion

Exactly. Van Gogh for example, that man lived and breathed art. It was his passion, his only desire for living, and he was good at it too…. but no one cared about it until he was dead. Davinci? A bit more famous to start, but his most famous painting the Mona Lisa? Only that famous cause it was stolen. What the artist values in its creation, and what the consumer values in its consumptions are highly personal. But what the elites value is monetary, and baseless in nature.

Ok and explain to me why it wouldn't be art. Skill? Art is not defined by skill and can be created by anyone - What makes art is emotion. Also funnily enough, most of modern art is created by very skilled and knowledgable painters, who instead choose to create what we call modern art. It's a experimentation of what we can do. Whether it be in terms of colors, techniques, materials, size, or simply it's effect on the viewer. Price tags? As is that has anything to do with the artist and not with the rich objectifying art to profit of it. Most paintings bought for large amounts of money will never be appreciated as they only sit in a bunker in Switzerland acting as an investment.

​@@pinguinpros6614 Do you thinks like a white-on-white canvas can evoke emotion (thinking about the art not the price tag)? Do you think experimentation matters if audience can not tell effort, like say Scribble by John Casilear in relation to a piece such as The Horse Fair by Rosa Bonheur? Because experimentation can be done by anyone really it just depends on who has connections for this art to be displayed.

@@saveena8035 the white on white canvas DID evoke emotion to the masses: confusion, anger, intrigue. Art isnt about how much effort you put in, its about the idea you want to convey (even minimalism: the idea is that there doesn't need to be a meaning). And, to be fair, most of the non-artists who are angry about the "lack of effort" put into modern works dont understand art enough to even KNOW if there is effort put in, because there is more than just how "real" a painting looks: there is composition, line quality, texture, etc that makes a piece look good. If an art piece gets people riled up and talking, I would say it's pretty successful.

@@fizz1081 Interesting take, thank you for your point of view. How do you think what is defined as art would change based on the setting? For example, if there was a minimalist piece in an art museum people will naturally see it of higher value compared to iff that same piece was a design in a hotel? Lastly, does art still hold any value if the public can not appreciate it? Because without the public, things can become quite esoteric . . .

The real piece of art here is the whole narrative around these white canvases. As a graphic designer, I get that there are different kinds of white, different textures, but those are unique because of entropy, not because of the artist's intuition. Actually, anyone could do it and come up with a unique result with its unique feeling. All the micro shades that come out of the depth of the paint are comparable to noise, and this is something that could easily be done by a machine too.

Partly by challenging most peoples mindset on what should be art and what shouldnt. Youve described that mindset pretty well in your comment.

So I don't know about the white canvas, but when I was learning how to paint, one of the first work was to do a Mondriaan. While it looked easy since it's just blocks of colors separated by thick black lines, I learned that my painting was no where as pleasing as a Mondriaan. Even with the same colors (blue, red, white), the arrangements of them--the placements of these colors, the sizes of them, the shapes of them, they all make a difference to just how aesthetically unsightful mine was compared to a Mondriaan. So there is something to say about minimalist art--the choices an artist makes does make a difference. So at least now when I look at a Mondriaan, I come to appreciate his work. I don't proclaim I understand what it symbolizes, but I just know my color palette or aesthetics is not as good as his and therefore will never be able to produce the works as good as his.

It definitely does take skill and taste to make good modern art. And frankly speaking a certain level of confidence and/or delusion of ego. Whether or not it's worth the kind of price tag it often fetches for is what's debatable imo.
@gclip9883
@gclip9883 4 місяці тому
@@talisa222What people often overlook is that the price tag depends mainly on how famous the artist is. It is simple supply and demand. There are millions of abstract artists right now who can't sell their work for more than a couple hundred dollars, those high ticket sales make up maybe 0.000001% of the entire art market. The material value of the actual piece doesn't really matter, neither does the message or the idea that the piece represents. It is just a question of how many rich people want to own it, and for that to happen, the artist has to be very famous.

I can even go to the point of seeing something interesting in the "white over white" paiting, but beyond that point it is just impossible to defend. They mention texture and shaping as if those two elements were not present in pretty much EVERY painting out there. A white canvas goes beyond minimalism and at least for me it cannot be taken as seriously as any other work of art

Daniel Martineau because acknowledging one of the most famous paintings ever is probably better than a white canvas is pretentious. Personally I’m in the camp that both the Mona Lisa and so-called ‘white paintings’ are works of art in their own right, but what Kendalyn Murdock said wasn’t pretentious.

what i’ve learned studying modern art so far is that it’s really the concept, intention, and process behind the piece and what it’s meant to say. a lot of art obviously isn’t going to say that outright because that’s for you to glean and form your own connections with, but there is a reason behind why the artist made it and chose to display it. The process of creating it can also give some hints to why they could have created it- why did they choose this size of canvas, why this specific color, why this finish of paint/ varnish, brushstrokes (or lack thereof), etc.

White isn't that hard to make. You don't have to try to select one from a range of coloured whites, it would be much easier to pick a very pure version of titanium dioxide and whack it on the canvas. Ok, some skill in finding the right colour. But then what?!
