52 CARD PICK-UP

52 VARIABLES at the PACE GALLERY 

In Chelsea is an exciting exhibition featuring painted facsimiles of large playing cards, oil on aluminum, that have been  collected by the artist Keith Tyson and spans a history of 200 years.

It was fascinating to see the large hand made reproductions of actual playing cards used, and seldom noticed by the card players, who are usually concerned with the card game that is taking place.  At the Pace Gallery, they are offering a deck of reproductions of these art cards in the exhibition for the low cost of  $15 for a souvenir.  I doubt if they will have any other value in the art world.. .but who knows? 

Witness Judy Pfaff's 'Five Decades

Photo/Artchick1

Judy Pfaff, an unconventional artist who was a recipient of the prestigious MacArthur Fellowship, has a current exhibition at the Ameringer-McEnery-Yohe Gallery, appropriately titled 'Five Decades.'

Neither a painter nor sculptor, but an inclusive artist who uses materials and processes associated with both. An artist whose work has ranged from temporary site-specific installations to large expansive pieces that are permanently attached to a wall. Instead, she is an artist whose work slips in and out of every category, making such distinctions irrelevant.

It is a joy to discover the range of materials and cohesiveness of this work while perusing this small retrospective. Judy Pfaff's 'Five Decades' closes October 16.

The Ameringer-McEnery-Yohe Gallery is located at 525 West 22nd Street, near 10th Avenue.

MONET- LATE WORKS IN CHELSEA

MONET'S LATE WORK AT GAGOSIAN GALLERY IN CHELSEA


This is the garden (not in full bloom) that Claude Monet  painted over and over again as his muse.  The exhibition of late work has no resemblance to this photograph as he was unfortunately losing his eyesight.
  






Therefore, the late work, not often curated to be seen together, highlights the work that shows an inadvertent transition towards abstract expressionism in many of the late paintings. The echoes of the future are apparent.'

CHELSEA ART GALLERY WALK HIGHLIGHTS

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO MISSED LAST WEEK here are some of the highlights in Chelsea nicely documented in a video by Jerry Saltz, Senior Art Critic at New York Magazine.  We were in the audience while he was filming and took advantage of the Q & A that ensued, which was cut out when this video was edited . I'm not going to list the exhibitions we visited soooooooo...check out the video to know where we were!

It's always so much fun to run into Jerry in Chelsea and get his take on the exhibitions as well!  He pumped the crowd at Gogo's on Murkami's process of making this large painting displayed in the side gallery and then the discussion got really lively!

Check back for highlights from the next gallery walk with the "additional back stories"... Oh Yeah!

AWESOME JAPANESE CROP ART WORK

Another offering from my personal Clip Gallery Art

From ground level, the designs are invisible, and viewers have to climb the mock castle tower of the village office to get a glimpse of the work.

Rice-paddy art was started there in 1993 as a local revitalization project, an idea that grew out of

meetings of the village committee.

Stunning crop art has sprung up across rice fields in Japan. However this is no alien creation - the designs have been cleverly planted. Farmers creating the huge displays use no ink or dye. Instead different colours of rice plants have been precisely and strategicaly arranged and grown in the paddy fields.

As the summer progresses and the plants shoot up, the detailed artwork begins to emerge...

Napolean on horseback can be seen from the skies, created by precision planting and months of planning between villages and farmers in Inkadate A Sengoku warrior on horseback has been created from hundreds of thousands of rice plants, the colours created by using different varieties, in Inakadate in Japan The largest and finest work is grown in the Aomori village of Inakadate, 600 miles north of Toyko, where the tradition began in 1993. The village has now earned a reputation for its agricultural artistry and this year the enormous pictures of Napoleon and a Sengoku-period warrior, both on horseback, are visible in a pair of fields adjacent to the town hall. More than 150,000 vistors come to Inakadate, where just 8,700 people live, every summer to see the extraordinary murals. Each year hundreds of volunteers and villagers plant four different varieties of rice in late May across huge swathes of paddy fields. The different varieties of rice plant grow along side each other to create the masterpieces... In the first nine years, the village office workers and local farmers grew a simple design of Mount Iwaki every year. However, their ideas grew more complicated and attracted more attention. In 2005 agreements between landowners allowed the creation of enormous rice paddy art. A year later, organizers used computers to precisely plot planting of the four differently colored rice varieties that bring the images to life.
