buy photos for very little money in….Chelsea
Alan Klotz. My former professor. A real Photo Maven. And, a guy who just happens to have a photography sale every year, same time, same place. 511 W. 25th Street (his gallery).
This is fine art photography, guys. The stuff you invest in for the long term.
Since times are sooo hard right now, I can only [...]

Rolling homage
This, by Iván Navarro, whose show is coming up December 10 at Paul Kasmin, Chelsea.
This, by way of explanation, from Kasmin’s press release:
“Die” (2009) is the second of Navarro’s sculptures to respond to the American sculptor Tony Smith’s famous six-foot steel cube, “Die” (1962). Smith’s sculpture was designed to match human scale; he claimed that [...]

True Story: ‘How an art critic came to be so disenfranchised with the system that she went back to what’s important: Art and $profit.’
This is the genesis of www.45projects.com.
About 3 years ago, I conceived of a place that doesn’t exist, and named it “the market project.” This ‘project’ would turn the art world on its ear; it would be a new way of doing business. Artists and curators and dealers and collectors would all be part of a [...]

Where is this gallery? Guess right, and I might show you there. For real.
OK, so the f-ing misspelling below practically gives it away. Still, take the poll. Let yourself feel superior for a minute. Then ask yourself if I’m not totally on base here.
Results to come!

Career Note #1 (Dealers with Money)
At the risk of sounding like Cher in Clueless, I’m gonna hold forth here in a tone that’s a little patronizing, a little ditzy…but hopefully helpful. Why? Because if more artists regarded other people with careers in the arts (like dealers and curators and critics) as actual humanoids, they’d get farther in their careers. Vice-versa, [...]
Amanda Church: Get Into Her ‘Pants’ and Support the Arts
Amanda Church wins this week’s award for (sassiest and) smartest artist/entrepreneur. She’s put her boldly graphic paintings on….shorts!
Well, she calls them pants, Mandy Pants, and sells them in boutiques–already. I will do you the favor of NOT modeling them for you here, but only including a happy picture of the painterly image that inspired them, [...]

The Art World in the 21st Century. A blog. My Website.
I'll be keeping track of what matters--and give advice. I'll direct my (and your) gaze to something that's worth looking at/worth thinking about/worth acting on.
This is a sort-of-embarrassing picture of me while they're installing a summer show at Paula Cooper Gallery, on 21st Street in Chelsea.
21st Street. 21st Century.
Apt, yes?
More Artists who are ‘Up There’
Joyce Pensato (this installation shot in Williamsburg, courtesy of–thanks–bloggy) is among my top favorite artists who aren’t 26. She’s on a more beaten (read: artmarket) path. Finally. She deserves the fame.
Another favorite is Rochelle Feinstein, whose recent Art Production Fund show rocked. Feinstein teaches at Yale; yet she isn’t afraid to paint like a young [...]

Gallery Closings: Nothing New
This video from James Kalm says it all.
(Galleries in NYC closing since the Recession!)
An auction house like Phillips; a cool solo dealer like Smith Stewart; stalwarts like Bellwether. NYC isn't quite what it would like to be, epicenter-wise. Powerhouse-wise.
A good press release for a really good painter: Bill Jensen (at Cheim & Read)
