Paperback. Condition: As New. Hero in Art ? The Vanished Traces of Richard Hambleton (2020) by Istvan Kantor ? Autonomedia ? As New Condition Some artists put their work in galleries. Richard Hambleton put his on walls in dark streets and allowed rain, demolition, other graffiti artists and New York City itself to decide how long it remained there. Which, from an investment point of view, was perhaps not the most efficient approach. In Hero in Art ? The Vanished Traces of Richard Hambleton , artist and writer Istvan Kantor tells the turbulent story of one of the great figures of the early New York street-art underground: a contemporary of the scene that produced Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, but a considerably darker and more elusive presence. Hambleton became famous for his sinister Shadowman figures ? rough black human silhouettes painted suddenly onto walls, alleys and doorways, often positioned so that they appeared to be lurking, falling, fighting or preparing to do something that would probably justify crossing the street. He also created the provocative Image Mass Murder works, placing painted outlines and splashes resembling crime scenes in public spaces. It was street art before street art acquired respectable galleries, auction estimates, branded trainers and people drinking complimentary prosecco while discussing its authenticity. The original works belonged to the city. And the city was not particularly interested in conservation. Walls were demolished. Paint faded. Buildings were renovated. New graffiti went over old graffiti. Hambleton?s figures appeared, frightened or intrigued passers-by, and gradually vanished back into the urban landscape from which they had emerged. Hence the title: The Vanished Traces of Richard Hambleton . Kantor is not observing all this from the comfortable distance of an art historian who arrived decades later with an archive and several footnotes. Also known as Monty Cantsin , Kantor was himself an artist, founder of Neoism and an early friend of Hambleton. His book is described by the publisher as a biographic novel , combining personal recollection with the memories of others to construct a deliberately immediate account of Hambleton?s life, art and surrounding underground culture. Consequently this is not merely the familiar tale of a Great Artist progressing efficiently from youthful promise to gallery representation, international acclaim and tasteful retrospective. Hambleton?s trajectory was considerably messier. There was fame. There was obscurity. There was artistic brilliance. There were drugs. There were dealers, collectors, friends, enemies, admirers and the complicated machinery by which something created partly in opposition to the established art world eventually becomes extremely valuable within the established art world. Capitalism is remarkably patient in these matters. Give it enough time and even anti-establishment graffiti can acquire an auction catalogue. The book captures the strange contradiction at the heart of Hambleton?s career. Here was an artist associated with work deliberately placed in uncontrolled public space, whose images were temporary almost by definition, yet whose reputation continued to grow after many of the physical works had disappeared. The art vanished. The artist became more famous. Which is either wonderfully poetic or extremely inconvenient asset management. Hambleton emerged from the explosive visual culture of New York?s East Village and Lower East Side in the early 1980s , when abandoned buildings, deteriorating neighbourhoods and urban surfaces became part of a new artistic territory. Kantor portrays this world from within rather than treating it as a picturesque historical movement safely preserved behind museum glass. The result is part biography, part memoir, part underground art history and part portrait of a particular New York that has itself largely disappeared. It is also a story about the mythology of the artist. We rather enjoy the romantic image.…
