A Chicago (ish) art tumblr by me, Claudine Ise. I'm an art writer who contributes to publications such as the Chicago Tribune, artforum.com, and other stuff. This is a visual notebook of the articles, images, videos and other gunk that's clogging my brain at the moment....some of it fodder for the larger stuff I am, have been, or will be thinking and writing about.

Have been busting my butt working on this two-part audio download about New York City during the time of the Abstract Expressionists. Naturally, I’ve learned all kinds of rad stuff: beer used to be 15 cents, apartments used to go for $17 a month, and when artists said they were starving, they weren’t kidding.

Also, we found all-kinds-of-awesome vintage audio of Peggy Guggenheim (describing herself at the “enfant terrible of the Guggenheim family”) and Robert Motherwell telling a particularly poignant story about Mark Rothko in the early ’50s.

Please check it out!!!

Looking forward to listening to this. Let’s hear it for art on audio!
