by Will Brand on March 6, 2012

The Richard Prince-designed cover to Bill Powers’ new book went on sale at noon today as an edition of 100. Thirty minutes later, it had sold out. We’re suspicious.

Bravo’s Work of Art: A Discussion with Simon de Pury, China Chow, and Bill Powers

by Paddy Johnson on June 9, 2010

Screenshot via: Bravotv.com Although I didn’t mention this in my review of Bravo’s Work of Art last month, based on the first episode alone in my estimation, the reality show’s greatest weakness is it’s permanent cast: the judges and mentor. Even art critic Jerry Saltz sounds a little canned, and he and Phillips auctioneer and […]

At the Museo Jumex, Andrés Jaque / Office For Political Innovation mine the Ray and Charles Eames classic for content to politicize in the exhibition Superpowers of Ten. It is mostly a big stretch.

Monday Links: Text SF MoMA to Receive Images You Don’t Want

This is what the SF MoMA robot thinks clouds look like. The photograph is by Paul Strand

The Art Southampton and Art Hampton fairs won’t be running this summer. Don’t worry though, in their place…other fairs will run. Good grief – can’t art fairs ever take a vacation? In good news, Bill Powers is organizing a fair called “Upstairs” which will be held in a barn in Amagansett. That’s definitely an upgrade on the standard fair experience the other Hampton fairs offered. [artnet News]

Arthur Jafa, an artist represented by Gavin Brown’s Enterprise, created the video for the title track on JAY Z’s new album 4:44. [ARTnews]

Betty Parsons was a great, well known dealer but also an under recognized artist. John Yau reviews her show at Alexander Gray Associates and raves about it. [Hyperallergic]

New York is exploring a type of zoning called “managed retreat” in flood prone parts of Staten Island. These neighborhoods were gravely damaged during Sandy and now the government wants to keep some of those areas empty for safety purposes – hence the experimentation with managed retreat. [Curbed]

Here’s a breath of fresh air – art runs led by Marnie Kunz that aren’t being contextualized as some sort of relational aesthetics bullshit. (Yes, these projects exist and they are across-the-board dumb.) [Runner’s World]

Museums will do anything to demonstrate engagement in their collection. To wit, SF MoMA has a next text message program where you text them “Send me ___” (you fill in the blank) and they send you back a picture from their collection that reflects that. Their robot could use some help. I asked for fluffy clouds and I got a message back telling me they didn’t have any images like that. Then I asked for a picture of “clouds” and got a picture of an oil refinery. Text 572-51 for pictures you didn’t ask for. [Lifehacker]

Alex Da Corte: “Ivanka Trump, please get my work off of your walls. I am embarrassed to be seen with you.”

by Michael Anthony Farley on December 23, 2016

Artists are none too happy with collector/future First Daughter Ivanka Trump. As noted in Bloomberg recently, the socialite has an impressive collection of contemporary art, including works by John Baldessari, Dan Colen, Christopher Wool, and many others. But now that the Trump family’s abhorrent politics have been made glaringly clear, many dealers and artists are facing “seller’s remorse.”

Bathing In The Purple Rain At Sam McKinniss’ “Egyptian Violet”

by Emily Colucci on October 21, 2016

Some exhibitions raise more questions than they answer. Take Sam McKinniss’ current show Egyptian Violet at team (gallery, inc.), which presents a sense of unease and potential for violence in his fan boy paintings of celebrities and movie characters. The subject matter is thoughtfully curated and carefully painted and yet, it is still difficult to pin down McKinniss’ exact critique. Is it a general representation of our anxiety-ridden era in 2016? A statement, à la A.L. Steiner’s 30 Days of Mo:)rning, about how everything is going wrong at once? A critique of the vacuity of pop culture? A death obsession? Or is there no real social critique at all? I left the show with no clear answer.

Work of Art Season 2 Finale: Harmoniously Together

by Ben Macaulay on December 23, 2011

In this week’s finale of Work of Art, Bravo has finally loosened its reins on the show’s three remaining artists: Kymia Nawabi, Sara Jimenez and Young Sun Han. The harsh time constraints that have hindered work in past challenges have been lifted, and the artists are given three months to produce an exhibition from the comfort of their own studios.

The show follows Simon as he scuttles between the artists’ places of residence in at least two Fiat 500’s, two months into the challenge.
