Make Me Famous and Other Things People Want From Art

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:20:57 GMT

In the fascinating art-world documentary Make Me Famous, painter Edward Brezinski finally gets his wish. Although he died — probably — in 2007, Brezinski’s largely unrealized goal in his lifetime was to be a successful artist. Even his mysterious death, in the South of France, didn’t raise his profile or prices — as it has for others and as perhaps he hoped it would do for him. Unclear. But this film succeeds where the artist failed, turning his life and art into the main attraction, with enough conviction to ensure he’ll be more than a footnote in art history.Edward Brezinski and CLICK models for NY TALK Magazine, 1984. Photograph ©Jonathan Postal; from “Make Me Famous”The most press Brezinski ever got was when he ate a resin-coated donut sculpture by Robert Gober, at Paula Cooper Gallery. This made Cooper mad; Gober tried to warn him about the toxic coating but otherwise seemed bemused, if not enthused. It made Brezinski quite ill, of course, and infamous, if temporari...
