scope Miami<\/strong>I was dubious of Scope earlier this month but after my amazing day at AQUA – I thought – what the fuck lets give it a try. I am glad I did. It looks to be about 70 galleries – 3 from DC (Curators Office, Irvine, and Numark) In all fairness to the DC galleries I will leave them alone and focus on the things that were new to me, that I liked.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lisa Sigal<\/strong> at Frederieke Taylor Gallery – to me easily the best work at SCOPE. These are collage works from her usually site specific work, however they hold the wall so well are are so well defined that it’s clear to me that they would scale with no problem. Lots of transparency, lots of clear strong soft color, I expect to see more of this in the future.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rana Rochat<\/strong> at Fay Gold Gallery – really strong encaustic, really personal feeling abstractions great color and that encaustic feel – I would have paid 10 bucks just to see these today. Two or three of FGG’s artists were using wax – I’m sure this is just coincidence, however I thought it was interesting to note.<\/p>\n

Annette Davidek<\/strong> at Littlejohn Contemporary these are really interesting layered oil on wood, building organic shapes but still painterly. Lots of layers build up to lots to see but the finished work is still on the thin side – I’m not a huge “thin paint” fan but this works for me. go track her down.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Other interesting work at Scope is: Carlos & Jason Sanchez<\/strong> (above) at Christopher Cutts Gallery, Lisa Kereszi<\/strong> at Yancey Richardson, <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One complaint: I’ve bumped into William Betts<\/strong> work 3 or four times now – with the exception that is smaller in scale it continues to seem like Gene Davis’s<\/strong> work – If I’m missing something would someone be so kind as to fill me in? (Gene Davis below)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

ABMB<\/strong>
Remember my complaint yesterday about how all the galleries used the same pool of artists? It sure didn’t feel that way today. Clearly things got sold and new stuff came out – it was like a brand new art mega fair. Here are my highlights:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Eric Doeringer<\/strong> at Flash Art – OK I bought one. A bootleg On kawara (July 1,1974) in my brief conversation with him I asked how the brush with the law last week went – he said it’s the best thing that could ever have happened. I agree in the 15 minutes I had to wait to buy my painting he sold 6 or 7 to the person before me and the gentleman after me wanted to buy 40 of them. Smart move for Flash Art for being so timely. For more info of Eric’s brush with the law follow this link<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Allen Ruppersberg<\/strong> at Christine Burgin. Isnt this really all I need to say? No? OK, I’m a big AR fan and have been since college. He has a problem with some galleries that he doesnt really do the same thing from year to year – I have no problem with that, but I’m sure he’s harder to market that way. CB is showing drawings and sculpture and you should go see them right now.<\/p>\n

Stuart Davis<\/strong> at Salander-O’Reilly. They are showing two paintings both of black lines on a cream field of a couple of his best known works. I didn’t get a chance to talk to the gallery, but I thought the date was after the paintings I knew – I should do some more sleuthing – but I probably wont. Interesting regardless.<\/p>\n

Saw a few really good Robert Ryman’s<\/strong> – I was particularly interested one and just for the hell of it asked the price. “It’s a 12 x 12 paint on fiberglass of some sort and it cost $195,000 dollars” the lovely gallery assistant said. Oh yeah, thats a direct quote.<\/p>\n

Random notes:<\/strong>
Bumped into and spoke with Todd Oldham<\/strong> – A hell of a nice guy barely begins to describe him. What an excellent human being.<\/p>\n

Had a nice although brief conversation with Max Protech<\/strong> – we have two degrees of separation since we both worked with Nancy Drysdale. Short but enjoyable – it’s nice to be invited to sit and just chat – no “I’m too busy, are you buying?”<\/p>\n

Perrier Jouet<\/strong> is the official champagne of ABMB it costs $12 by the glass from the cart ladies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
