Description: Currently on view at Artstübli gallery in Basel is an exhibition that is dedicated to the “Godfather of Street Art”, the Canadian artist Richard Hambleton (1952-2017). The show features photographs by Vera Isler and Thomas Christ that document Hambleton’s works and his live, as well as two original artworks by Richard Hambleton. In this video we take a look at the exhibition and talk to Thomas Christ, who talks about his time in New York, his encounters with Richard Hambleton, Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, and the art historical significance of Urban Art / Street Art. (in Swiss German language, English and German subtitles via player menu). Richard Hambleton gained fame with his rapidly painted shadow figures which appeared overnight on the walls of buildings in New York and various cities in Europe. In a few seconds and life-size with sweeping brushstrokes in urban space. Also known as the Shadowman, Hambleton left behind over 400 in Manhattan alone. In 1984, Hambleton traveled to Europe five times passing through 24 major cities, including Basel, in the shadow of the night, leaving his signature figures everywhere. The reason for the trips was an invitation to participate in the 1984 Venice Biennale. The exhibition is presented by Artstübli – Urban Art & Culture, Balzer Projects and the estate of Vera Isler (Verein Blaue Blume, ART-Nachlassstiftung, Bern). The show runs until June 25, 2022.
