Jeweller To The Stars: The Secret Art Collection Of Attilio Codognato | Private View

In Venice we see the jewels of Attilio Codognato, who made pieces for everyone from Elizabeth Taylor to the Duchess of Windsor. But Codognato also collected modern art in the 1960s. He helped to organise the Venice Biennale and befriended American artists who flocked to Italy at that time, among them Andy Warhol, Cy Twombly, Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns. They partied together at his palazzo and he bought their work. Andy Warhol painted Attilio’s portrait using his silk-screen technique: it still hangs in the dining room. Codognato acquired an early painting by Twombly that has never been seen.

    The presenter's desperate attempt to attribute some grand significance to Cy Twombly's pencil scribbles is priceless.

    So this guys only claim to fame is that he inherited a famous jewelry shop and the family fortune, that allowed him to live in a precious bubble of rainbows, unicorns and lollipops, as he collected a God awful mess of stuff that he calls art, (which he is free to do, of course.) That does not mean those of us living in the real world are total idiots and we will just pretend, that the ridiculous stuff on his wall was created by an exceptionally talented artist that was gifted by God. (We can all agree that any 5 year old could create that 'art' in less than 10 minutes.)

    A lot of young new artists' works bought and displayed had to do with wealthy patrons developing personal crushes on them. All that pencil doodling by CY were likely difficult to praise, but his handsome looks weren't. It happens all the time. Pays the bills.

    If you have to be TOLD to feel something-- as the host says when she's standing in front of the cardboard boxes-- this is NOT art. THIS is dictatorship. AND art is NEVER dictatorship. THIS is the way of the artist saying FU to the viewer and to the person who will expend thousands of dollars for literally trash. They've more than likely done a lot of art that's TRULY art and very good and that actually moves the viewer without telling them that they MUST be moved; and NOW they're just having a little fun with the connoisseurs of art --or would be connoisseurs --and making tons of money doing it, but mostly getting off on playing the audience they have accrued through excellent work in time past. THIS cardboard box is their swan song, sad to say.

He's not buying a word she says; nor am I. Perspective, if you're going to use someone else apart from Waldemar, then please at least use someone with some camera presence and cred. Fiona Bruce would have been a much better choice.
