Susan Collis named The Armory Show’s 2010 Commissioned Artist British artist known for meticulous replicas of everyday objects The Armory Show has commissioned British artist Susan Collis to create the visual identity for the 2010 fair. Collis’s artwork, which concentrates on meticulous recreations of everyday objects, will set the aesthetic for the fair’s look, will be featured in all of the fair’s advertising and marketing materials and will be showcased in the catalogue. This will be the ninth year The Armory Show has commissioned an artist to define the image of the fair. Collis is known for painstaking facsimiles of mundane objects, which force viewers to reconsider details they may not have initially paid attention to. In "Made Good" (2007), a typical piece for the artist, what initially looks like a Phillips screw sticking out of the gallery wall is in fact made of gems and precious metals. As part of the installation/performance “SWEAT” (2008), a digital clock seems t

Join us for our Final First Friday Friday, December 4th, 5:30-8:00pm (We're not renewing our lease.) To Our Good Friends and Valued Clients: This Friday, December 4th, will mark our last First Friday...we will be closing the gallery on Christmas Eve for the final time. While we're certainly saddened to close this chapter in our lives, we recognize that, at this point in time, owning a bricks and mortar retail gallery is a difficult proposition at best. When the opportunity came to not renew our lease, we took it. There is, happily, good news to all of this. First, Ironwood Gallery will continue to exist in cyberspace. We will be opening an online store in the next few months which will feature work from some of our existing artists, and some exciting new artists. And, as for the future of the gallery, who knows? We might consider opening another storefront, just in a different (and warmer) location. Finally, for us, the best news of all is our relationship with Brookfield Cra

Exhibition The Great Masters of Lithography: Vintage Posters of Calder, Chagall, Dufy, Léger, Matisse, Miró, Picasso, and Others Friday, November 6–Saturday, December 12, 2009 FIAF Gallery Presented in partnership with Galerie Mourlot New York The FIAF Gallery is pleased to present a collection of original color lithographs of works by great modern artists including Calder, Chagall, Dufy, Léger, Matisse, Miró, and Picasso. During the twentieth century, a group of celebrated artists rediscovered the largely unexplored art form of lithography thanks to the Atelier Mourlot, a Parisian printshop founded in 1852 by the Mourlot family. The Atelier Mourlot originally specialized in the printing of wallpaper, but was transformed when the founder‘s grandson, Fernand Mourlot, invited a number of 20th-century artists to explore the complexities of fine art printing. Fernand encouraged the painters to work directly on lithographic stones in order to create original artworks that could then be ex

New York, NY - Jean Miotte was born in 1926. He came of artistic age in war torn Europe in the decade after World War II, when non-figurative, gestural abstraction was emerging on both sides of the Atlantic as the dominant language in contemporary art. The embrace of abstraction was not simply a formal issue: it was literally a change in the realm of meaning and value. With social and political institutions discredited as enablers of nothing but chaos, the artist as creator and painting, by and in itself, now seemed more potent, more capable of moral meaning than the external realities of landscape, politics and society. On view through 30 December, 2009. Source and for More information http://www.artknowledgenews.com/2009-11-22-22-30-29-the-chesea-art-museum-presents-jean-miotte-spirit-of-defiance.html

Barbara Nessim The Model Project NOVEMBER 11 – DECEMBER 5, 2009 DFN Gallery is pleased to present The Model Project by Barbara Nessim, featuring large-scale digital collages printed on aluminum panels. Since the beginning of her career, Barbara Nessim has been using art to challenge traditional values in society. During the Women’s Movement of the late 60s and early 70s, her art reflected the questions surrounding the accepted roles for women. The Model Project continues her examination of traditional thinking, focusing on the ideas surrounding society’s perception of beauty. This series began in 2008 with a fashion photo shoot and interactions between a model, a photographer, and an artist. The artist and the photographer each perceived the model differently. By deconstructing and reassembling the visual elements of a typical high-end fashion photo shoot, Nessim reexamines current concepts of beauty. Lips, hair, breasts, and legs are recombined with jewelry and clothes in jarring c

The printer, Friedrich Biel, also known as Fadrique de Basilea, was active in Burgos, Spain, from 1485 to 1517. One of his most important surviving books is the earliest known edition of the Comedia de Calisto y Melibea, more commonly called La Celestina. The Hispanic Society’s copy of La Celestina had been in the collection of John Pierpont Morgan who, in 1909, loaned the volume to Archer M. Huntington, founder of the Hispanic Society of America, who wished to publish a facsimile of the work. Upon the publication of the facsimile, Morgan gave the precious incunable as a gift to Huntington. The Burgos edition has been the subject of an intense scholarly debate, much of it focused on the date of printing. Some scholars consider the edition to have been printed in 1499, as the printer’s device states, while others believe the edition to have been printed later, in 1501–1502.

Design Within Reach is the source for smart solutions. Our business started when our founder tried to furnish his apartment with the classics he'd come to appreciate while living in London. What he discovered was that acquiring these clean, simple and well-designed products was neither clean nor simple. There had to be a better way, so in 1999 we bought 20 containers of product, mailed out a catalog and waited for the phone to ring. (It didn't for 24 hours, until we realized the nighttime answering machine had been accidentally left on.) The rest, as they say, is history. By giving customers access to these items, which are brilliantly conceived, simply executed and consistent with the enduring principles of modernism, we made design within reach. Visit any of our DWR Studios or Tools for Living stores and you'll never see a “do not touch” sign. We invite you to linger, bring your dog or kids and join us for design events.

NEW YORK, NY.- Christie’s announced the auction Magnificent Tiffany featuring Property from the Gluck Collection will be held as part of its 20th-Century Decorative Art & Design sales on December 8, 2009. On February 17, 1979, Christie's held the landmark sale Magnificent Tiffany Featuring The Gluck Collection, the first major Tiffany offering at auction. The sale was an unparalleled success. It was the first time a Tiffany lamp commanded more than $100,000, with the "Cob Web" lamp selling for a then-remarkable $150,000. The Gluck Collection set the bar for future sales in the category. More than 30 years later, Christie's will offer ten additional pieces from this legendary collection.

Source NY TIMES The Bauhaus, the German school of art, architecture, and design that was open for a mere fourteen years, closed 76 years ago, introduced the word sleek to our design vocabulary, and changed the way we think about daily-use items from cantilevered chairs (good) to piles of old magazines (bad). The Bauhaus was famously clutter-averse, teaching acolytes to discard the unnecessary, champion the streamlined and the utilitarian, and design always with mass production in mind. Two exhibits opening next week make the school’s continuing impact clear. At the Museum of Modern Art, “Bauhaus 1919–1933: Workshops for Modernity” (opening November 8) is filled with objects and furniture (as well as painting and architecture) as clean, functional, and striking as anything on the market today, by names that still resonate: Walter Gropius, Mies van der Rohe, Marcel Breuer, Josef Albers.

September 30-November 29, 2009 For over two decades, Steve Wolfe (b. 1955) has created objects and drawings of astounding craft and visual presence that investigate the intersections among material culture, intellectual history, and personal and collective memory. Working in the tradition of trompe l’oeil, his pieces often quite literally fool the eye on first inspection: tattered books, worn album covers, and vinyl records appear pristine but these are objects made from modeling paste, screenprints, drawings, and many other media, and they reproduce not just the thing but the individuality an object takes on as it is consumed by one or more individuals. Wolfe's objects are, in real life, ones that must be used and physically manipulated in some detailed way—books have every page turned, records every groove worn. The patina of time is thus inevitable and necessary, and leaves a record of the object’s meaning as it passes from the user's hand to mind. In essence, this is the su

After-School Course Behind the Scenes: Georgia O'Keeffe WHAT: The Whitney is excited to announce an after-school course that focuses on the exhibition Georgia O'Keeffe: Abstraction. Participants will engage in an in-depth exploration of O'Keeffe's paintings, drawings, and more. Inspired by their experience with O'Keeffe's artwork, kids and adults will experiment with painting and drawing techniques, and consider abstraction in their own artworks. WHO: This course is designed for one child (between 6 and 10) and one parent, grandparent, or guardian. We believe that young children can achieve a deeper learning experience when family members are involved and, as such, this program requires that each child be accompanied in class by a parent, grandparent, or guardian. Adult and child will be looking, discussing, creating, and exploring art together. No caregivers will be allowed to accompany children for this course. WHEN: The course will take place after school, fr

When I began this work over 6 months ago, it would be the 4th Adam and Eve that I have done to date. Each time it seems that I have peered through another perspective. The painting provokes the images and symbols of the Biblical tale, and of Darwin's Evolutionary Theory , but was done with a questioning spiritual synopsis, to ponder the relationship between man and woman. In the biblical story the lack of control or limits of egocentricity have run rampant with the female, as she defies God's command. Eve has been visited with accidents and calamity, with snake and red ant bites, plaster casts, her vanity eaten away and with a growing old of the flesh, ( maggots falling from her rotting toes). Her fingers have been broken off trying to climb out of the whole she dug for herself and the human race by disobedience to God, eating of the forbidden fruit. Adam has been corrupted by Eve by eating of the fruit, thus the two bites from the apple. Insects surround them, but

A parade to honor a person or persons, held in New York City, during which people in the tall buildings of Manhattan throw large quantities of paper, confetti, paper ribbons, or the like onto the parading group.

Marcel Duchamp: The Art of Chess” is the first exhibition devoted to exploring the influence of Duchamp’s activities as a chess player on his artistic production. It debuted at the St. Louis University Museum of Art (May 6 – August 16, 2009), and the present gallery exhibition is an expanded version of that show. It will open at Francis M. Naumann Fine Art on September 10, 2009 (and run through October 31, 2009). The exhibition features the magnificent early cubist drawing Study for Portrait of Chess Players (1911), which renders Duchamp’s two brothers—Raymond Duchamp-Villon and Jacques Villon—intently engaged in a game of chess; a large central “X” in the center of the composition represents the precise point where their minds meet, a cerebral focus common to much of Duchamp’s subsequent production. Among the highlights of the show will be an example of the readymade Trébuchet (1917/64), the coat rack that visitors to Duchamp’s studio were expected to trip over (the chess equivalent

Ed Ruscha, "Large Trademark with Eight Spots" (1962) LONDON— The first retrospective to focus exclusively on the iconic canvases of the 72-year-old Los Angeles-based artist, "Ed Ruscha: Fifty Years of Painting," on view at London’s Hayward Gallery from October 14 through January 10, sheds light on his influences, from comics to graphic design to hitchhiking. Reached at his L.A. studio, the multitalented Ruscha, who has made everything from artist’s books and drawings to films and photographs, says that, yes, he does consider himself primarily a painter, but he quickly adds, "A painter can be anybody who wants to do anything. I’m not a traditionalist." In the photo gallery at left, he relates what motivated some of the works in the show, which travels next year to the Haus der Kunst, in Munich, and the Moderna Museet, in Stockholm. "In Retrospect: Ed Ruscha" originally appeared in the October 2009 issue of Art+Auction. For a complete list of arti
