When was the last time you set foot in a gallery and felt comfortable enough to inquire about pricing and potential payment plans for a piece of work you had your eyes on? Read on.

Sofas Come and Go...
..but art stays with you forever. NPR's Edward Goldman makes the case for buying art vs. junk that will come and go. I'm definitely a subsciber to this mantra.

Go See: Lush Life
Lush Life is a multi-part show that takes place at nine Lower East Side (LES) galleries: Collette Blanchard Gallery, Eleven Rivington, Invisible-Exports, Lehmann Maupin, On Stellar Rays, Salon 94 Freemans, Scaramouche, Sue Scott Gallery, and Y Gallery.
Lush Life adopts its title from Richard Price’s eponymous 2008 novel. The novel is set in the contemporary LES, where a murder investigation exposes the dynamically changing community of the neighborhood; which despite its evolution retains a ghostly and vital link to its layered past. The deep and varied history of the LES now includes the LES galleries as new community members, and Price’s novel provides a potent vehicle for the consideration of community as voices compete for, ignore and occasionally share the same physical and conceptual space.The galleries will host concurrent exhibitions with each exhibition reflecting the idea of one of the nine chapters in the book. There will be a collective opening of all participating galleries on Thursday, July 8th from 6 – 9 pm.

Giuseppe Panza
I may be way behind in the Panza game, but I first learned about him two weeks ago at the L.A. MoCA where he donated 5 Rothko's to the museum. He died last week and I'm sorry I didn't know about him earlier. Seemed like an amazing collector.
“I collect art because I love beauty, not to make money,” Count Panza told Sculpture magazine in 2008. “This relationship to art is a necessity for me because everybody wants to be happy, and I found the best way to be happy.”

Who Loves Photography?
I do! That's why it kills me that I won't be able to attend this weekend's AIPAD show (arguably the most important photography show in the world) at the Armory where 70 of the world's leading photography galleries present a wide range of museum-quality work from 19th century photographs to cutting edge contemporary.
