The Guardian, UKThe contemporary art world had better brace itself - it's set to be lampooned this autumn in
Boogie Woogie,
a new film featuring a top-notch cast. Directed by the documentary
maker Duncan Ward (husband to art curator Mollie Dent-Brocklehurst),
the film takes a wry look at the machinations of a London-based art
dealer and his cohorts, and looks certain to raise eyebrows in Cork
Street and beyond.
Danny Huston, star of
30 Days of Night and
The Kingdom,
is Art Spindle, an art dealer who covets Piet Mondrian's abstract
expressionist painting Broadway Boogie Woogie - owned in the film by
the collector Alfred Rhinegold, played by Christopher Lee. Problems
ensue when Rhinegold, who bought the painting from Mondrian himself,
refuses to sell it. Other famous faces include Joanna Lumley, Charlotte
Rampling, Gillian Anderson, Alan Cumming, Heather Graham, Simon
McBurney and Jaime Winstone.
Due to be released in November*,
Boogie Woogie
is based on the novel of the same name by Danny Moynihan, the writer,
curator and friend of the artist Damien Hirst, who himself created a
limited-edition cover for the book, featuring works by Sarah Lucas,
Marc Quinn and Jeff Koons. Moynihan has written the screenplay and is
also a producer on the film. Such are Moynihan's contemporary art
connections that when the book was published in 2000, even the elusive
dealer Charles Saatchi contributed a jacket comment, saying: "No sleep
for you the night you open it!"
