GEORGE CONDO 2/3 - Artificial Realism

George Condo arrives at his brother's home in Boston and works in a silkscreen factory. He then meets Mark Dagley who offers him to join his punk band. Between concerts on the Harvard campus and alternative clubs in New York where he meets Jean-Michel Basquiat, Condo decides to move permanently in Big Apple, fascinated by its artistic energy.
His literary culture and silkscreen skills leads him to Andy Warhol's studio where he works as an assistant. Very good friend with Basquiat, he frequents the underground milieu and meets the first rappers and graffiti artists. He paints a lot and begins to exhibit; Keith Haring and Warhol buy his paintings.
Wishing to develop his own style and to stand out from the current New York trend led by Schnabel or David Salle, he leaves for Europe. There he discovers the old masters in the Louvre and the Prado and rub shoulders with Paris intellectuals. He then develops the Artificial Realism, a style that will define his work for the next twenty years.
