1 00:00:15,539 --> 00:00:24,259 Speaker 1: Pushkin. Hi, everyone, it's Katie here. You're about to hear 2 00:00:24,419 --> 00:00:28,859 Speaker 1: a bonus episode interview with the artist Audrey Flack, who 3 00:00:28,859 --> 00:00:31,499 Speaker 1: we spoke to at the very beginning of this series 4 00:00:31,899 --> 00:00:35,739 Speaker 1: in episode one. We had such fun recording with her. 5 00:00:36,059 --> 00:00:40,059 Speaker 1: Audrey is a life force. But sadly, a few months 6 00:00:40,099 --> 00:00:43,539 Speaker 1: after we launched Death of an Artist, Audrey's studio manager 7 00:00:43,619 --> 00:00:46,819 Speaker 1: contacted me to tell me that she had passed away 8 00:00:47,299 --> 00:00:51,059 Speaker 1: at the age of ninety three in Southampton, New York. 9 00:00:52,219 --> 00:00:55,979 Speaker 1: Audrey lived an incredible life and I feel so lucky 10 00:00:56,019 --> 00:00:59,099 Speaker 1: to have spent time with her and honored that I 11 00:00:59,099 --> 00:01:01,859 Speaker 1: can share some of her memories from the art scene 12 00:01:01,859 --> 00:01:08,779 Speaker 1: with you today. Okay, so Audrey, please, can you introduce yourself? 13 00:01:09,379 --> 00:01:10,419 Speaker 1: You are and what do you do? 14 00:01:11,179 --> 00:01:13,259 Speaker 2: Well? I don't want to do that. You should do that. 15 00:01:14,259 --> 00:01:16,179 Speaker 1: Okay, let's leave that. 16 00:01:16,459 --> 00:01:19,419 Speaker 2: You know you should say, here's Audrey flat and she's 17 00:01:19,419 --> 00:01:24,059 Speaker 2: blah blah blah, and she's an ancient person. 18 00:01:25,499 --> 00:01:29,619 Speaker 1: This is Audrey Flack, and this bonus episode is a 19 00:01:29,619 --> 00:01:33,259 Speaker 1: conversation we had when my producer, Clem Hitchcock, and I 20 00:01:33,579 --> 00:01:37,659 Speaker 1: went to visit her in New York. Her Upper West 21 00:01:37,659 --> 00:01:41,939 Speaker 1: Side home slash studio was filled with her photorealist paintings 22 00:01:41,979 --> 00:01:46,979 Speaker 1: and sculptures of ancient women, from Madea to Meducer. You've 23 00:01:46,979 --> 00:01:50,379 Speaker 1: been hearing snippets of our conversation throughout the show. It 24 00:01:50,499 --> 00:01:53,579 Speaker 1: was one of my favorite interviews that we did. In fact, 25 00:01:53,739 --> 00:01:56,379 Speaker 1: after we finished, I just wanted to keep hanging out 26 00:01:56,379 --> 00:01:58,859 Speaker 1: with her, and there's so much of her story we 27 00:01:58,979 --> 00:02:02,019 Speaker 1: couldn't fit in. So that's what we're going to do. 28 00:02:02,139 --> 00:02:02,379 Speaker 2: Now. 29 00:02:02,779 --> 00:02:05,739 Speaker 1: Spend a bit more time in the extraordinary world of 30 00:02:05,819 --> 00:02:09,219 Speaker 1: Audrey Flack and the downtown art scene from the mid 31 00:02:09,379 --> 00:02:10,299 Speaker 1: twentieth century. 32 00:02:13,539 --> 00:02:18,059 Speaker 2: What was it like the scene? It was so exciting, 33 00:02:18,259 --> 00:02:21,339 Speaker 2: it was throwing. You knew you were part of something, 34 00:02:21,379 --> 00:02:22,659 Speaker 2: and it was very pure. 35 00:02:23,859 --> 00:02:28,539 Speaker 1: Flack has been an artist for seven decades encounting. She's 36 00:02:28,579 --> 00:02:32,059 Speaker 1: a writer too, and just released her brilliant new memoir 37 00:02:32,379 --> 00:02:36,899 Speaker 1: with Darkness Came Stars. And she's a musician. She plays 38 00:02:36,939 --> 00:02:40,699 Speaker 1: banjo and lead vocals in a band called Audrey Flack 39 00:02:40,739 --> 00:02:43,259 Speaker 1: and the History of Art Band. More on that later, 40 00:02:44,299 --> 00:02:47,979 Speaker 1: but let's start at the beginning. Audrey Flack was born 41 00:02:47,979 --> 00:02:49,579 Speaker 1: in May nineteen thirty one. 42 00:02:50,099 --> 00:02:54,579 Speaker 2: It came from a very bourgeois family, very middle class, 43 00:02:55,499 --> 00:02:57,099 Speaker 2: and we were Jewish. 44 00:02:57,619 --> 00:03:00,659 Speaker 1: In nineteen forty eight, she enrolled in an art school 45 00:03:00,939 --> 00:03:02,219 Speaker 1: called Cooper Union. 46 00:03:03,779 --> 00:03:09,019 Speaker 2: Cooper Union was in the heart of abstract expressionist territory 47 00:03:09,579 --> 00:03:13,499 Speaker 2: Eighth Street and Astro Place, so I was right there, 48 00:03:13,939 --> 00:03:15,299 Speaker 2: heart of this hurricane. 49 00:03:15,819 --> 00:03:20,139 Speaker 1: Abstract Expressionism, or ABBEX for short, is a term loosely 50 00:03:20,179 --> 00:03:23,379 Speaker 1: applied to a group of artists working in New York 51 00:03:23,659 --> 00:03:27,779 Speaker 1: in the nineteen forties and fifties. Lee Krasner, Jackson Pollock, 52 00:03:28,059 --> 00:03:32,739 Speaker 1: Helen Frankenhaler, William Da Kooning, Grace Hartigan, and Audrey was 53 00:03:32,779 --> 00:03:34,699 Speaker 1: one of the young artists on the scene. 54 00:03:35,099 --> 00:03:39,859 Speaker 2: It's interesting realism was frowned upon, it was looked down 55 00:03:39,979 --> 00:03:45,259 Speaker 2: as something lesser. From the moment I hit Cooper, that 56 00:03:45,419 --> 00:03:49,139 Speaker 2: was abex. The whole world was abex, The whole downtown 57 00:03:49,339 --> 00:03:55,099 Speaker 2: was abex. And people were coming over from Europe to 58 00:03:55,139 --> 00:04:00,819 Speaker 2: be around Eighth Street, tenth Street, ninth Street, right where 59 00:04:00,899 --> 00:04:01,579 Speaker 2: Cooper was. 60 00:04:02,139 --> 00:04:05,179 Speaker 1: These artists were part of a community. They put on 61 00:04:05,259 --> 00:04:08,579 Speaker 1: shows together, talked about the future of art, and last 62 00:04:08,619 --> 00:04:10,419 Speaker 1: but not least, they drank together. 63 00:04:10,859 --> 00:04:15,459 Speaker 2: You know, I would have wine, but they were drinking scotch, 64 00:04:15,739 --> 00:04:20,739 Speaker 2: little little shots of scotch with a beer chaser. So 65 00:04:20,779 --> 00:04:24,099 Speaker 2: the Scotch would go down in one gulp, and then 66 00:04:24,299 --> 00:04:26,819 Speaker 2: the beer and then they put a lemon or something 67 00:04:26,859 --> 00:04:30,939 Speaker 2: in it. Sometimes I put on a good show, but 68 00:04:31,139 --> 00:04:32,459 Speaker 2: it wasn't my style. 69 00:04:33,099 --> 00:04:35,859 Speaker 1: Audrey told us that there were two places that the 70 00:04:35,899 --> 00:04:40,859 Speaker 1: abstract expressionists all went to hang out. First, the Waldorf Cafeteria. 71 00:04:41,219 --> 00:04:46,819 Speaker 2: It was the most gloomy, awful decrepit. You know, you 72 00:04:46,939 --> 00:04:49,659 Speaker 2: look like you were embombed if you went in there. 73 00:04:50,339 --> 00:04:54,179 Speaker 2: But we would go there and you could have a 74 00:04:54,219 --> 00:04:56,739 Speaker 2: cup of water and put ketchup in it and that 75 00:04:56,819 --> 00:05:00,699 Speaker 2: was your tomato soup. You could save money. And that 76 00:05:00,899 --> 00:05:02,579 Speaker 2: was a few blocks from the Cedar. 77 00:05:03,219 --> 00:05:06,219 Speaker 1: The Cedar was the hard drinking tavern where the artists 78 00:05:06,219 --> 00:05:09,579 Speaker 1: would have raucous debates about art and where as we 79 00:05:09,659 --> 00:05:12,699 Speaker 1: learned in episode one, Audrey first met Jackson. 80 00:05:13,299 --> 00:05:21,339 Speaker 2: The Seedo was, you know, the place that everybody went smoky, crowded. 81 00:05:22,459 --> 00:05:27,579 Speaker 2: In the front there were cubicles, little seats with where 82 00:05:27,619 --> 00:05:32,099 Speaker 2: people could sit and it was always jammed, and then 83 00:05:32,139 --> 00:05:35,899 Speaker 2: there was a bar with stools along the edge of 84 00:05:36,059 --> 00:05:39,099 Speaker 2: Jackson liked to sit towards the back. 85 00:05:39,939 --> 00:05:44,059 Speaker 1: Everyone was there. Artists tailed for their action like brushstrokes. 86 00:05:44,339 --> 00:05:47,939 Speaker 1: Joan Mitchell William Da Kooning, Franz Klein to name a few, 87 00:05:48,419 --> 00:05:51,459 Speaker 1: plus writers Jack Carrouac and Alan Ginsburg stopped by. 88 00:05:52,059 --> 00:05:56,819 Speaker 2: When Jackson and billdy Cooney and Franz kleinb showed up 89 00:05:56,859 --> 00:05:59,819 Speaker 2: all you know, one at a time, but three of 90 00:05:59,859 --> 00:06:03,779 Speaker 2: them were there. There was like a hush. I mean, 91 00:06:03,819 --> 00:06:07,539 Speaker 2: everybody knew that you were in the presence of greatness. 92 00:06:07,819 --> 00:06:12,179 Speaker 2: It was like a jack It was like, wow, they're here, 93 00:06:12,779 --> 00:06:19,339 Speaker 2: you know, and then arguments would break out. Sometimes people 94 00:06:19,379 --> 00:06:24,379 Speaker 2: would shove and push. It was scary for a girl, 95 00:06:24,859 --> 00:06:30,059 Speaker 2: you know, mind her, I'm like eighteen. It was male dominated, 96 00:06:30,139 --> 00:06:34,699 Speaker 2: there was no doubt about it. It was an old 97 00:06:34,779 --> 00:06:35,579 Speaker 2: boys club. 98 00:06:36,379 --> 00:06:39,979 Speaker 1: I've heard descriptions like this before. Lee Krasner once said 99 00:06:40,099 --> 00:06:43,379 Speaker 1: it was where the women were treated like cattle. Most 100 00:06:43,419 --> 00:06:46,539 Speaker 1: women artists avoided it. But it wasn't just the cedar 101 00:06:46,619 --> 00:06:49,459 Speaker 1: that was like this. The whole art scene was very 102 00:06:49,499 --> 00:06:52,819 Speaker 1: male in its vibe. But of course there were women 103 00:06:52,899 --> 00:06:55,739 Speaker 1: at the heart of it. Audrey knew them all and 104 00:06:55,819 --> 00:06:57,339 Speaker 1: told me some great stories. 105 00:06:57,979 --> 00:07:01,179 Speaker 2: On the scene was John Mitchell, who I thought it 106 00:07:01,259 --> 00:07:04,299 Speaker 2: was some absolutely marvelous artist. 107 00:07:04,379 --> 00:07:08,259 Speaker 1: Born in Chicago a few years before Audrey. Joan Mitchell 108 00:07:08,419 --> 00:07:12,419 Speaker 1: was known for her lossal canvases full of energy, action 109 00:07:12,699 --> 00:07:16,219 Speaker 1: and dynamism. She arrived in New York at the end 110 00:07:16,259 --> 00:07:19,259 Speaker 1: of the nineteen forties, where she remained for a decade 111 00:07:19,339 --> 00:07:24,299 Speaker 1: before settling in France. Unlike many other Abbe's artists, Mitchell 112 00:07:24,419 --> 00:07:27,579 Speaker 1: looked back to the nineteenth century French painters, and her 113 00:07:27,579 --> 00:07:31,179 Speaker 1: spectacular canvases often reflect the palette of the likes of 114 00:07:31,219 --> 00:07:36,539 Speaker 1: Claude Monnet. To me, her greatest strength was transforming oil 115 00:07:36,619 --> 00:07:39,259 Speaker 1: paint into gusts of light and movement. 116 00:07:39,579 --> 00:07:41,699 Speaker 2: I loved her work. I think she's one of the 117 00:07:41,739 --> 00:07:45,059 Speaker 2: best artists, and I thought so. 118 00:07:45,219 --> 00:07:48,539 Speaker 1: Then then there was Grace Hartigan. 119 00:07:48,859 --> 00:07:50,539 Speaker 2: Grace and I became good friends. 120 00:07:50,779 --> 00:07:53,699 Speaker 1: It was her work The Persian Jacket that looked back 121 00:07:53,739 --> 00:07:57,939 Speaker 1: to the Spanish Old Masters. She used cheap industrial brushes 122 00:07:58,179 --> 00:08:00,019 Speaker 1: for her bold, sensuous strokes. 123 00:08:00,419 --> 00:08:05,099 Speaker 2: Elaine dy Kooning, who was absolutely brilliant, smoked like a 124 00:08:05,179 --> 00:08:06,779 Speaker 2: chimney and drank or so. 125 00:08:07,779 --> 00:08:10,499 Speaker 1: Elaine was also one of the first people to write 126 00:08:10,539 --> 00:08:15,139 Speaker 1: about these artists in the publication Arn't News. Although working 127 00:08:15,179 --> 00:08:18,299 Speaker 1: in an abstract vein, she was famed for her portraits, 128 00:08:18,459 --> 00:08:23,059 Speaker 1: notably of sports stars and politicians, including John f Kennedy. 129 00:08:23,299 --> 00:08:27,179 Speaker 2: Oh Helen frank Nzaler, who did not go to the bar. 130 00:08:28,299 --> 00:08:33,099 Speaker 1: Frankenhaler pioneered what is known as color field painting. Instead 131 00:08:33,099 --> 00:08:36,699 Speaker 1: of using action like gestures like the other Abex painters, 132 00:08:36,979 --> 00:08:40,259 Speaker 1: she developed a technique called soak stain. She put the 133 00:08:40,299 --> 00:08:43,339 Speaker 1: canvas on the floor, thin down the paint and let 134 00:08:43,379 --> 00:08:47,059 Speaker 1: it glide over. The results were multi layered pools of 135 00:08:47,139 --> 00:08:48,899 Speaker 1: spontaneous organic forms. 136 00:08:49,699 --> 00:08:54,299 Speaker 2: These women felt that they had to be as tough 137 00:08:54,419 --> 00:08:58,659 Speaker 2: as the men, and tougher than the men to survive, 138 00:08:59,659 --> 00:09:06,179 Speaker 2: and they adopted male behavior. They suffered. Who else whom 139 00:09:06,259 --> 00:09:08,419 Speaker 2: I leaning out? Oh? 140 00:09:08,539 --> 00:09:08,659 Speaker 3: Lee? 141 00:09:09,339 --> 00:09:11,379 Speaker 2: Of course Lee didn't go to the bar. 142 00:09:12,379 --> 00:09:14,779 Speaker 1: So tell us about Lee Krasner. I mean, what do 143 00:09:14,859 --> 00:09:17,339 Speaker 1: people think of her? What was her reputation? What was 144 00:09:17,379 --> 00:09:18,059 Speaker 1: her involvement? 145 00:09:18,699 --> 00:09:23,179 Speaker 2: Well, she was like the Diane. Lee was in love 146 00:09:23,219 --> 00:09:26,979 Speaker 2: with Jackson. One of the things that I was always 147 00:09:27,299 --> 00:09:31,419 Speaker 2: almost shocked by is when they got the house, there 148 00:09:31,499 --> 00:09:34,179 Speaker 2: was a barn on the property and you went into 149 00:09:34,219 --> 00:09:37,539 Speaker 2: it because that was Jackson's studio. Right, did you see 150 00:09:37,579 --> 00:09:43,579 Speaker 2: where Lee painted at first? Weren't you shocked? Yes, you're answering. 151 00:09:43,699 --> 00:09:47,499 Speaker 1: Yes, I visited last year and it was worlds away 152 00:09:47,539 --> 00:09:49,779 Speaker 1: from Jackson's vast studio in the barn. 153 00:09:50,259 --> 00:09:52,699 Speaker 2: I wouldn't have done that. You wouldn't have done that. 154 00:09:53,379 --> 00:09:56,699 Speaker 2: You have to have enough self respect us an artist, 155 00:09:56,739 --> 00:10:00,899 Speaker 2: and she was already an established artist, more so than he, 156 00:10:01,819 --> 00:10:07,979 Speaker 2: And so she paints in this tiny little bedroom upstairs. 157 00:10:09,539 --> 00:10:14,219 Speaker 2: My god, you know it was a place to sleep, 158 00:10:15,299 --> 00:10:18,659 Speaker 2: even with a single bed, not even a king sized 159 00:10:18,699 --> 00:10:19,779 Speaker 2: bed would fit in it. 160 00:10:20,379 --> 00:10:23,899 Speaker 1: Can you talk to us about Jackson's reputation and also 161 00:10:23,979 --> 00:10:26,299 Speaker 1: your encounters with him and what he was like. 162 00:10:27,139 --> 00:10:30,899 Speaker 2: I think about him all the time and I try 163 00:10:30,939 --> 00:10:39,099 Speaker 2: to reevaluate those times why his work was great? Was 164 00:10:39,139 --> 00:10:46,219 Speaker 2: his work great? No, Jackson, when he starts dripping, is 165 00:10:46,259 --> 00:10:50,939 Speaker 2: no longer a painter. He's not painting a painting. He's 166 00:10:50,979 --> 00:10:57,819 Speaker 2: not dealing with space spacial relations in that way. You know, 167 00:10:57,899 --> 00:11:01,539 Speaker 2: he's not dealing with color relationship. He's not painting. He 168 00:11:01,819 --> 00:11:07,819 Speaker 2: becomes somebody who takes on an entire scope of the 169 00:11:07,859 --> 00:11:14,259 Speaker 2: world and makes galaxies. And when you enter a Pollock painting, 170 00:11:14,299 --> 00:11:21,579 Speaker 2: you're entering out of space. You're going through ropes and 171 00:11:21,899 --> 00:11:27,139 Speaker 2: nuts and tangles of galaxies. Something magical. 172 00:11:27,939 --> 00:11:29,899 Speaker 1: Do you talk to us a bit about Ruth Kligman 173 00:11:30,099 --> 00:11:32,899 Speaker 1: and who she was and how she got together with Jackson. 174 00:11:33,579 --> 00:11:38,219 Speaker 2: I'm working for a gallery and I'm curating a show. 175 00:11:39,339 --> 00:11:43,379 Speaker 2: Ruth claps up five floors in her high heeled shoes, 176 00:11:44,339 --> 00:11:51,139 Speaker 2: climply clop, you could hear her, and comes into my apartment. 177 00:11:52,139 --> 00:11:58,339 Speaker 2: And Ruth was unbelievably sexy. It just reeked, it reaked. 178 00:11:58,699 --> 00:12:03,339 Speaker 2: And she was wearing a ray on dress, polka dot dress, 179 00:12:03,419 --> 00:12:11,579 Speaker 2: I think. And she had thick black hair and sunglasses, 180 00:12:11,779 --> 00:12:16,819 Speaker 2: white rimmed sunglasses and red lipstiff. I mean, she was fent. 181 00:12:17,219 --> 00:12:22,819 Speaker 2: She looked like Elizabeth Taylor. She was really knockout. And 182 00:12:22,979 --> 00:12:26,499 Speaker 2: she came in and said she has an opportunity to 183 00:12:26,939 --> 00:12:31,979 Speaker 2: curate a show for this gallery, the Collector's Gallery, and 184 00:12:33,059 --> 00:12:36,139 Speaker 2: wanted to look on my work. And she began talking 185 00:12:36,179 --> 00:12:40,979 Speaker 2: about my work. It was amazing. She really had a 186 00:12:41,019 --> 00:12:47,779 Speaker 2: good eye and an ability to talk that mesmerized you, 187 00:12:48,539 --> 00:12:52,539 Speaker 2: which she must have done to Jackson. She really got 188 00:12:52,619 --> 00:12:56,499 Speaker 2: him and she was good. I would have bought my 189 00:12:56,579 --> 00:12:59,659 Speaker 2: work if I heard her talking. You know, how did 190 00:12:59,699 --> 00:13:05,059 Speaker 2: she meet Jackson? Okay, so then she didn't know much 191 00:13:05,059 --> 00:13:09,139 Speaker 2: about the art world. She was from New Jersey. Thinks 192 00:13:09,419 --> 00:13:12,539 Speaker 2: took one or two art classes. She didn't know very 193 00:13:12,619 --> 00:13:18,779 Speaker 2: much teach me, so I would teach her what's going on. 194 00:13:18,859 --> 00:13:22,579 Speaker 2: I said, well, there's a movement called abstract Expressionist. Who 195 00:13:22,619 --> 00:13:27,379 Speaker 2: are the artists? I told her? She said, in what order? 196 00:13:27,459 --> 00:13:32,819 Speaker 2: Who is the most important? I said, I think, I mean, 197 00:13:32,899 --> 00:13:35,179 Speaker 2: I love Dacooning, but I think I'd have to say 198 00:13:35,259 --> 00:13:41,379 Speaker 2: Jackson first, then Decooning, and then Franz Climb. So then 199 00:13:41,419 --> 00:13:45,539 Speaker 2: she said where do they meet? I said, Licita Bar, 200 00:13:46,659 --> 00:13:51,259 Speaker 2: where is it? Well, it's on Eleventh Street and University. 201 00:13:51,499 --> 00:13:54,539 Speaker 2: So I drew a map. I walked down the stairs 202 00:13:54,579 --> 00:13:58,419 Speaker 2: with her and I watched her, you know, I waved goodbye. 203 00:13:58,579 --> 00:14:05,379 Speaker 2: She wiggled her little cute body and waved goodbye with 204 00:14:05,499 --> 00:14:08,099 Speaker 2: the paper in her hand, and I told her where 205 00:14:08,139 --> 00:14:10,179 Speaker 2: Jackson sat. That was it. 206 00:14:13,219 --> 00:14:16,899 Speaker 1: I found it so incredible how Audrey has such vivid 207 00:14:16,939 --> 00:14:20,059 Speaker 1: memories of all those characters she knew more than half 208 00:14:20,099 --> 00:14:24,139 Speaker 1: a century ago. It really felt like being transported back 209 00:14:24,179 --> 00:14:27,659 Speaker 1: to that nineteen fifties scene in all its creative and 210 00:14:27,859 --> 00:14:32,299 Speaker 1: unhinged glory. She still thinks about their stories today and 211 00:14:32,339 --> 00:14:35,739 Speaker 1: has even written songs about some of them, including one 212 00:14:35,739 --> 00:14:36,539 Speaker 1: about Jackson. 213 00:14:37,019 --> 00:14:39,099 Speaker 2: I have a song you know my band. I wrote 214 00:14:39,099 --> 00:14:42,299 Speaker 2: a song about it. I had a band, History of 215 00:14:42,419 --> 00:14:49,219 Speaker 2: Art band, which was a feminist band, by the way. 216 00:14:50,539 --> 00:14:54,379 Speaker 1: Now to finish it off, here's Audrey Flack and the 217 00:14:54,419 --> 00:14:59,859 Speaker 1: History of Art Band playing their song Action Jackson Jackson power. 218 00:15:00,179 --> 00:15:03,779 Speaker 3: That's my name. Abstract painting brought me fame. I sell 219 00:15:03,899 --> 00:15:06,939 Speaker 3: my paintings one by one, and I get drunk when 220 00:15:06,979 --> 00:15:22,259 Speaker 3: I am done.
