John Chamberlain sitting amongst his work in 1962. Chamberlain was an American sculptor, who focused on the genre ‘junk art’. Taking junk parts and twisting them into something more. He was born April 1927 and passed away December 2011. While young, John spent the majority of it in Chicago. When he finished serving the U.S. Navy during WWII, John went to the Art Institute of Chicago (1951–52) and Black Mountain College (1955–56). After this, John moved out to New York, this is where he began creating sculptors using the scrap-metal he found. Here is also where he found his inspiration of the Abstract Expressionists Willem de Kooning and Franz Mine. These artists inspired John to involve the 3D volume while capturing the gesture and uncontrolled nature found in their pieces, and then in Chamberlains too. 

The first two examples I find particularly enticing. I like that you can still see some of the details of what the scraps used to be, as well as the rustic and true to life colours that John has used. John uses discarded car parts, and I feel this is obvious in his pieces, especially the first two. 

I like John’s approach to art, using the old and discarded to create something new and interesting. This is something I think fits well with my theme.

John Giorno, West Bengal, September 1971. “Friends” of Keith Richards had flown him and Allen, along with artist John Chamberlain to the region last minute to report on the refugee situation in Bangladesh that resulted from their civil war with Pakistan. It was the height of monsoon season, and street scenes like this were not uncommon.  Allen’s reflections culminated in his poem song lament “September on Jessore Road” (photo: Allen Ginsberg) • John Giorno’s autobiography Great Demon Kings is due in stores this summer from FSG • #johngiorno #bangladesh #westbengal #septemberonjessoreroad #India #poets #johnchamberlain #allenginsberg #greatdemonkings (at West Bengal) https://www.instagram.com/p/B97a1KYhaKy/?igshid=10zq2un7rj6ka

We’re loving the way that the neon light from Jason Rhodes’s “Three-Wheel Waggon-Wheel” Chandelier reflects in the window behind John Chamberlain’s “Fuccimanooli”. You really can’t beat this view of the East Village at twilight!

An original sofa and chairs by Pierre Chareau set before a table by Mies Van der Rohe float in the gold-leaf sheathed living room of Eva and Michael Chow’s Art Deco-decorated Spanish-Mediterranean-style mansion in Holmby Hills, California. An imposing John Chamberlain sculpture made of curled and compressed car bodies presents itself as a columnar totem in the lofty space, which is crowned by an 18th-century Murano glass chandelier. In the second photo three paintings by Peter Blake hang above a fireplace designed by Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann. * #michaelchow #evachow #pierrechareau #miesvanderrohe #jacquesemileruhlmann #johnchamberlain #peterblake #modernmasters #modernart #frenchmodern #vintagemodern #modernluxe #luxemoderne #holmbyhills #goldleaf #livingwithart #thecollectors #artdeco https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsa971Zlpmx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=q33o1k5z7qao
