Louise Bourgeoise Pieces Shown By Glenn Dranoff At Ink Miami Art Fair

12/7/2012

Ink Miami Art Fair is held at the Dorchester Hotel on Miami Beach. It is free and it is well worth a visit. The entire show will not take up a great deal of time and, especially for lovers of prints, the trip is rewarding.

ONE example are these pieces by Dranoff Fine Art out of New York City. The Louise Bourgeoise piece to the right, Girl With Hair, is ...I run short of adjectives..spectacular?  The piece is archival dye printed on fabric with hand editions.

Below is Caryatid, also by Bourgeoise, and a Robert Motherwell work--Feminine #1 (from 1988). Bring your checkbook if you are looking to buy these works BUT Ink also has a great deal that is affordable. There are pieces by young artists and more.

More from INK shortly--especially on USF's Graphicstudio (an interview). Every room at the exhibit should be visited but especially Dranoff's.

More Art And Murals From Wynwood Walls

5/16/2012

I interviewed some of the artists responsible for these works at Wynwood Walls during Art Basel.

Unfortunately I had my FINGER over the microphone on these interviews so they basically sound like the parents from an old Peanuts cartoons (with some in Spanish)

I apologize for my idiocy but thought I would, finally, post this anyway just for the images.  Wynwood Walls is certainly worth a visit if you are in Miami.

Asymmetrik At Scope Miami 2011 Featuring A Slew Of Wonderful Artists

Asymmetrik are an online gallery that focuses on photography. Owner Jeremy Hu took some time to tell me the details of the artists shown at the Asymmetrik booth at Scope Miami 2011. Of course my notes were illegible. But I did take some pictures. Crappy pictures but pictures. AND you can go to asymmetrikinc.com and see good images! I encourage you to go there in fact.

Corriette Schoenaerts’ piece from her Passion = Violence collection was part of the exhibit. 

“She made it she photographed it--happy pieces--tries to put fantasy into the reality, the scenes of dreams.” says Hu.

My notes didn't say a coherent thing about the wonderful pieces by Sara Carter. Some day I will post a handwriting sample so people can see my dilemma when I do not record interviews.

Matthew McMullen Smith was also featured prominently. His photos of women literally veiled in smoke are striking.

“By looking at the picture you wouldn’t know it but he is a skater boy.” says Hu.

Mark Sobczak's piece barely made it to the exhibit and was unframed. As usual my photo of a photo does not do this justice. It is remarkable work.

Susan Goldman At Ink Miami Art Fair Shown By The Old Print Shop

2/8/2012

0 Comments

 
Picture
These pieces (woodcuts) by Susan Goldman were shown at Ink Miami Art Fair in December 2011. The Old Print Shop, 150 Lexington Avenue at 30th Street in New York, showed these particular prints. They went for $900 each, which seems reasonable.

Goldman is an artist and teacher who, as you can notice in these pieces, explores ancient, traditional images in her work.

As far as process goes Goldman builds the surface of compositions by printing multiple layers of transparent inks onto paper. Then she wipes the plate to create luminous effects. The use of solvents breaks down and builds forms. Her work is in collections including the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian Museum of American Art and the Cincinnati Art Museum (as well as many private collections).

She teaches at George Mason University and runs a print atelier, Lily Press, in Rockville, Maryland.

Hideo Takeda's "The Proposal" --A Favorite From Art Basel Week 2011

1/31/2012

0 Comments

 
Picture
Hideo Takeda's The Proposal is funny but he is a serious artist.  He calls himself a cartoonist. His work was shown at Ink Miami Art Fair during Art Basel Week by Verne Collection Inc.

Takeda, born in 1948 recently had a one man show at the British Museum. When you look through his work you sometimes find muted colors juxtaposed against brilliant color. His absurdist humor will make you smile and sometimes roll your eyes.

He IS a cartoonist but he is also a wonderful artist. The trick is his humor has no words, only the image. It is a tough thing to make people laugh or smile with just an image. A true skill.

Enrique Martinez Celaya's Untitled (Boy With Horse) From John Berggruen Gallery, San Francisco

1/30/2012

0 Comments

 
Picture
__ Enrique Martínez Celaya, a native of Havana, uses a number of media to create his work and examine time, memory, representation and more. His painting, Untitled (Boy With Horse), was another of those that stood out at Art Basel 2011 (and it was AT Art Basel not the satellite fairs). The painting was shown by John Berggruen Gallery, San Francisco.

Celaya’s works, not usually shown in group exhibitions, are often shown as “multi-disciplinary” collections at museums, galleries or even unconventional venues like churches and philharmonics. His work has been shown at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of Marican Art and, lest it seem New York-centric, at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles and the Museum der bildenden Kunste in Leipzig.

Celaya is more than a fine artist. He also has written criticism, two books of poetry and edited other books including poems by Charles Baudelaire.

Celaya was, as noted, born in Cuba but immigrated to Spain and then moved to Puerto Rico where he apprenticed to a painter. He currently works in Miami. Read more on this fascinating artist at his website (linked above).

Tatiana Ginsberg's Paper Bowls Shown By Verne Collections Inc. Of Cleveland

1/30/2012

Picture
Tatiana Ginsbergstudied at the University of Iowa Center for the Book and then went to Japan for several years on a Fulbright Scholarship. Following this she received an MFA from the University of California at Santa Barbara.

And these paper bowls are one of the results of this eclectic education. Small, dainty, beautiful and, presumably functional, the bowls cost around $100. The series was called 100 Days.

Ink is a fair that focuses on the print and on paper. Many of the galleries and companies present use wonderful paper in their art and prints and these pieces are no exception. These pieces were shown by Verne Collections Inc, of Cleveland.

Josh Dorman's "Hackle" At Ink Miami Art Fair Shown My Mary Ryan Gallery, NY

Hackle
Josh Dorman's work, shown by Mary Ryan Gallery, NY, is mixed media using acrylic, ink and old maps to create abstract images on differing themes. The maps seem to turn up a great deal though.

He has had numerous solo and group shows, going back 20 years. His undergraduate degree is from Skidmore and his Masters from Queens College (I almost went there for grad school, seriously, I did but my student loans got screwed up so I went elsewhere..so Dorman and I are like BROTHERS...ok perhaps not...).

Abel Barroso's "Tabaco Con Ideologica" Shown By Graphicstudio At Ink During Art Basel

1/30/2012

Picture
Abel Barroso's piece, Tabaco Con Ideologica, was one of the many interesting small pieces and prints shown by the University of South Florida's Graphicstudio, Institute for Research in Art. The piece was  part of Ink Miami Art Fair at the Dorchester on Miami Beach.

I took photos of some of the other art shown by Graphicstudio but I took shabby notes on the back of someone's bio which I then LOST. What can I tell you this was on Saturday. I hadn't planned on going to Ink and wasn't prepared. But when you read up on Barroso you will find that his works often require you to interact with them.
