Pretty sure that I was luckier when my wife liked the little blue box vs. any size orange bag. Don't get me started about the red box.
This bronzed piece by Jonathan Seliger is pretty cool though. If it's a permanent fixture in my house, do you think my wife will lay off shopping at Hermes?
Need that something special for the backyard? How about a Richard Serra?
Serra’s giant concentric sculptures “Blind Spot” (2002-2003) and “Open Ended” (2007-2008) are now on show in Gagosian Gallery (21st Street), along with a small room full of works on paper.
Acria sale = 20% off (including an awesome Jenny Holzer).
Want. Need. Available at Etsy.
I'm not a Warhol fan, but I do love Polaroids. That's why Danzinger Project's show, Athlete Series is cool. Featuring a little-known trove of Polaroids by Andy Warhol of famous athletes. They were commissioned by one collector in the late 1970s and early ’80s.
Jeanne-Claude, the French artist who was married to and collaborated with Christo on a wide-variety of massive projects that largely involved huge installations, like "The Umbrellas" in Japan and "The Gates" in New York's Central Park, has passed away due to complications from a ruptured brain aneurysm.
The Donald Judd Foundation announced last week the start of the Donald Judd Catalogue Raisonné through the appointment of the Catalogue Raisonné committee and a Catalogue Raisonné Manager, Katy Rogers. Ms. Rogers, who is currently completing the Robert Motherwell Catalogue Raisonné, will manage the Donald Judd Catalogue Raisonné project with the advisement of the committee. The project is supported by a newly designed catalogue raisonné database, which Judd Foundation has developed over two years specifically to document artworks by Donald Judd (1928-1994).
Great idea by the MCA Denver. In an effort to knock down the intimidating walls that art critics and 'know it all's' build (maybe not intentionally, but probably) around the world of art, the Contemporary is offering us regular folk a chance to get in the game. With an emphasis on close observation and easy to grasp principles, this three-part, participatory workshop is designed to give all audiences the ability to appreciate even the most difficult contemporary art!!
While some say that a relationship's kiss of death is when one gets a tattoo of the other (or even worse, they show their 'love' by each dedicating a piece of flesh with a name or picture). I'd like to do a study, though of filthy rich people who commission a piece of art of their significant other and check in on how those relationships are doing. Case in point: Maurizio Cattelan’s ‘Trophy Wife,’ depicting Stephanie Seymour is just one of the pieces currently part of the messy divorce with Peter Brant.
Recent court filings in the divorce of Peter Brant and Stephanie Seymour reveal disputes over nearly 50 works by Andy Warhol, as well as works by Richard Prince, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Cindy Sherman, Jeff Koons, Julian Schnabel, and a bust of Seymour made by Maurizio Cattelan [Vanity Fair]
Damien Hirst and Supreme re-visit their old relationship in the upcoming release of a series of skateboard decks. In addition to the similarly styled decks comes a t-shirt as well with the slogan “Life’s a Bitch Then You DIE” on the back with the theme of the decks seen on the front graphic. The collection releases in-store in the US on November 19th and online on November 23rd. Japan will see a release on November 21st.
Want it. Need it.
