AMERICAN VANGUARDS: GRAHAM, DAVIS, GORKY, DE KOONING,  AND THEIR CIRCLE, 1927–1942     JANUARY 29–APRIL 29, 2012 In the 1920s through 1940s, the enigmatic and charismatic John Graham (1886–1961) and his circle of New York artists, which included Stuart Davis, Arshile Gorky, and Willem de Kooning, helped redefine ideas of what painting and sculpture could be. They, along with others in Graham’s orbit, such as Jackson Pollock and David Smith, played a critical role in developing and defining American modernism.   American Vanguards  showcases more than sixty works of art from this vital period that demonstrate the inter-connections, common sources, and shared stimuli among the members of Graham’s circle.   This exhibition, curated by notable scholars William C. Agee, Irving Sandler, and Karen Wilkin, will be accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue co-published by the Addison and Yale University Press. This critical reconsideration sheds new light on the New York School, Abstract Ex

get ready for the Whitney Biennal

Sculpture, painting, installations, and photography—as well as dance, theater, music, and film—will fill the galleries of the Whitney Museum of American Art in the latest edition of the Whitney Biennial. With a roster of artists at all points in their careers the Biennial provides a look at the current state of contemporary art in America. This is the seventy-sixth in the ongoing series of Biennials and Annuals presented by the Whitney since 1932, two years after the Museum was founded. The 2012 Biennial takes over most of the Whitney from March 1 through May 27, with portions of the exhibition and some programs continuing through June 10. The participating artists were selected by Elisabeth Sussman, Curator/Sondra Gilman Curator of Photography at the Whitney, and Jay Sanders, a freelance curator and writer who has spent the past ten years working both in the gallery world and on independent curatorial projects. Sussman and Sanders co-curated the Biennial’s film program with Thomas Be

In Celebration of Women's History Month March 22,  6:30 -8 pm Gail Levin Noted author and Distinguished Professor of Art History, Gail Levin will conduct a discussion about her new biography of Lee Krasner and the issues relating to the documentation of women artists in history. LEE KRASNER A BIOGRAPHY   Copies of the book are available for short-term loan from the gallery.     Gail Levin's biography of Lee Krasner beautifully evokes a period in American art that laid the groundwork for the women artists of today. Lee, who was my mother's close friend in art school (the National Academy of Design), not only contributed wonderful work but also encouraged a whole new generation of artists. She grew into true generativity. Bless her and her biographer!

Jiang Shuo  was born in 1958, Beijing. She studied sculpture at the Central Academy of Arts and Design, which is now under Tsinghua University. Jiang, as the first female sculptor in China, completed her master degree in 1985 and started her career in teaching sculpture at the Central Academy until 1989. Jiang, with her husband Wu Shao Xiang, emigrated to Austria and worked at their joint studio there. Jiang's works have been widely exhibited around the world, especially in Europe.  The sculpture that you are interested is titled  Great Jump , it is one of her Red Guards Series. The Red Guards work follows in her folk art style but with the injection of a political theme to grab people's attention. The almost faceless guards with their wide-open mouths recall the period of turmoil in China when the spouting of slogans and mindless indoctrination was the path to survival. The sarcasm continues for the materialization that these red guard criticized during the Revolution, hav

Who is Justin LEE, Singapore

About Justin bought Pop art to Singapore. His witty, thoughtful work blends traditional Eastern imagery and techniques with twenty-first-century consumerism and Western icons. Justin had his first solo show in 2003, at the age of 40. Now, seven years on, he has held numerous exhibitions, been commissioned by commercial clients, the Esplanade, the Singapore Art Museum and the National Museum of Singapore among them. He created four works specifically for Give Art. The works capture his playful nature and are inspired by the idea that Give Art works will chosen by people celebrating joyous occasions. His latest series looks back at forgotten technology such as Bakelite phones and examines how our relationships with technology have evolved. See more of his works at the New Majestic Hotel, just around the corner from Give Art's gallery. Sour ce http://www.giveart.net/artist_profile.php?id=16

back in New York City..

New York City.- The Bertrand Delacroix Gallery is pleased to present “Toro Bravo”, an exhibition of recent works by Joseph Adolphe, on view at the gallery from February 9th through March 9th. Echoing the anxiety of an age marked by austerity and personal uncertainty, Adolphe’s subjects vary between the beaten down fighter, the agile and stoic beast, the exposed human and the vulnerable child – each of them leaving their life force in the ring. Strength and individuality are measured by their ability to endure the respective hardships of their personal confrontations with the world. They are brave despite facing a constant barrage of disappointments, setbacks and unfulfilled dreams. Any remaining optimism seems to slip into darkness. While the trajectory of Adolphe’s paintings follows this same course there is nevertheless an illogical optimism reflected in the confident and powerful force of his marks and colors, as if to say that, ‘in spite of the downfall of the proud, we still stand
