The New York Artist Looks Back at Three Decades of Icon-Making.
“I was one of those guys that got blamed for the 80s,” muses Robert Longo in the latest instalment of director Matt Black’s Reflections series. After the 1977 Pictures show at Artists Space in Manhattan made his Hollywood cinema-inspired enamelled aluminium reliefs famous, Longo went on to become one of the most collected, exhibited and talked about artists of the early 1980s, most widely known for the suit-and-tie wearing charcoal-drawn silhouettes dancing in his “Men in the Cities” series.
