Typically what . happens is it’s (payment) deferred. .\ lot of times there is some kind of an advance irom the record label.”’ Music Now: Can you give me an example of a horrible deal? Atkins: “I just saw one and it’s fresh in my mind. These are ex- tremes and they turned up on my -desk within six weeks of each other,” “The horrible deal came from ‘a prominent independent British label. The deal was for six retail points (6% of retail sale). Ifa re- - cording sells for $10, the artist gets 60 cents gross. “But there are a whole bunch of discounts that go into that. The “advance to record was for $15,000. There was no advance for anything else. The domestic territory where they paid the full 6% was Britain. Every other ter- ritory inthe world was discounted. The packaging discounts were - enormous, about 25%. That’s 25% , tight off $10 at retail. “The CDs were discounted to the point where they were worth about 15 cents in the U.S. to the artist. That was the deal. There was a tied-in publishing deal (ail rights to the songs), 100% rights to the label and then they had all the merchandising, the T-shirt sales. “The only thing that was left for the artists was touring, but because the domestic market was Britain, it would have cost them more money than they could make on the road. The only thing I could guarantee for this band is that they would be broke until they got out of the deal. “That record label isn’t inter- ested in developing artists. The label is interested in getting a large number of alternative bands sel- ling 10,000 records for each band, never pushing one over the top. But because of the way they struc- tured it, 10,000 sold made them a little bit of money. With a large roster and each band making a lit- tle money, the label makes a lot of money. “Compare that to a major deal where you're talking reasonably large advances to the artist, over and above production (costs). No publishing, no merchandising. The number of records would be one plus four, one or two records firm with an option for the others. ° “The shorter number of op- tions to the artist, the better. What it results in is the artists get to a point where they have a choice to stay with that label and negotiate on relatively even terms or just walk away.”’ nee HEY KIDS!

A concise survey of floral repre- sentation in art since the Baroque period provides an apt introduc- tion to the esthetics and symbol- ism of “the flower study” as it ‘existed prior to the development of photography. An acutely detailed roceco still life by the 18th-century Dutch _master Jan Van Huysum and a rawer but equally. deft study of peonies, dating from 1876, by French painter Henri Fantin-Latour, _ are given precedence in this sec- tion of the exhibit. Earlier botanical studies such as the hand-colored engraving of a narcissus, circa 1617, drawn by Basilius Besler, anticipate an ap- plication of photography in the scientific representation of flowers that curiously failed to materialize with any real force, though numerous noteworthy examples by Karl Blossfeldt prior to 1925 are provided. Works by Henry Fox Talbot (the inventor of the photographic pro- cess as commonly practised) and the Lumiere brothers (who fater pioneered the development of Motion pictures) are all pro- minently featured. Other sections are organized by theme. Under ‘‘Persona,”’ indi- viduals both familiar and anony- mous are portrayed or commented on through the inventive and _ sometimes humorous juxtaposition of personage and a propos flower. In Bert Stern's grainy black and white Adarilyn, 1962, the 20th- century sex goddess enticingly of- fers-us her breasts, cupped beneath two hand-tinted floppy fabric roses. Actor Dennis Hoppers 1963 portrait of Andy Warhol captures the pop-meister himself in black tie and sunglasses, obliviously peering from behind a solitary slender iris. Utilizing X-rays, extreme cluse- ups and a compositionally acute selectivity of focus, photographers as diverse as Edward Steichen, Charles Sheeler and Imogen Cun- ningham, who pioneered the “new esthetic,” to current con- temporaries such as Robert Map- plethorpe and Yasuhiro Ishimoto, who have sustained its practise, emphasize the abstractive interac- tion of light and dark, positive and negative space, texture and mood. On the whole this is a stunning exhibit that will obviously be well received and well attended wherever it tours. Not only does it delineate the history of photography from a uniquely endearing perspective, it also documents the transition from the sentimental pictorialism of the 19th century to the dynamicaily Protean modernism of our own. tt clearly demonstrates that, with all the increasingly complex tech- nological ways and means of cap- turing it at our disposal, we never escape our passionate preoccupa- tion with what is simple and beautiful in nature. “NEWS photo Cindy Goodman - SUBMIT!
