ROBERT YARBER With Ben Lee Ritchie Handler In Conversation PORTRAIT BY OLIVER MAXWELL KUPPER

34

In the early 1980s, when Ronald Reagan was making America great again for the first time, lower taxes, trickle-down economics, and a surging domestic economy meant those toward the top of the food chain were swimming in it. There was more money than the high rollers could spend at home, so they traveled. Hotels became a frequent escape for the new rich and middle class, a symbol of moneyed freedom.

They were oases for wholesome family fun, but also lawless, libertarian outliers from the shackles of societal norms—places to host one’s extramarital dalliances, blast cocaine, and fly out the window. Robert Yarber was there, capturing surreal visions of these seedy, fantastic moments of late capitalist ennui on canvas in all their backlit, neon glory. His creations were steeped in art history—Titian and Tintoretto are visible references—but very much of the present. People noticed. His work was included in the American Pavilion at the 1984 Venice Biennale, selected for the 1985 Whitney Biennial, and snapped-up by major institutions and collections through the late '90s. Then the world turned, and his initial moment in the cultural spotlight faded.

Flash forward to 2018. A blobular, mutant version of Reagan is making America great again again, an increasingly cynical form of the trickle-down economy ensures that the luxury hotel set is more loaded than ever before, and Robert Yarber is back. His oil and acrylic work feels just as fresh and cutting as ever. Robert Yarber: Return of the Repressed, his first solo exhibition in Los Angeles in more than twenty years, opened at Nicodim Gallery in September.

I spoke with him about his practice, his early life, and his blind eye as he readied his new paintings for the show.

OVERNIGHT PROJECTS is a nomadic, artist-run exhibition initiative whose mission is to expand the contemporary art conversation in Vermont, creating bridges to larger contemporary art communities by inviting artists to develop works that respond to and activate non-traditional spaces. We work with local, national, and international artists to develop ephemeral installations, performances, and socially engaged artworks that activate historically rich places — industrial, institutional, commercial, domestic, religious — in a post-studio era. We aim to facilitate site-responsive works that shift viewers’ assumptions of a site’s function and value. Overnight Projects is a not-for-profit exhibition initiative that is dependent upon donations and financial support for organizational growth and the support of artists. Visit overnightprojects.com
