Jerry Saltz and Kehinde Wiley Star in Tiffany's New Ways of Seeing Video Series
Tiffany & Co. commissioned a video series produced by T Brand Studio that examines the origins and current state of art. The first introductory film features critic Jerry Saltz explaining art's evolution from cave drawings through the Renaissance and Dada to the present day. He is joined by three young artists: Kehinde Wiley, Shantell Martin, and Oliver Jeffers. The project, titled New Ways of Seeing, is inspired by John Berger's 1972 BBC series and explores the experience of art in an era of proliferating images. Subsequent episodes include artists Miranda July, Petra Cortright, Cory Arcangel, and Douglas Coupland.
