December 1st, 2008 — Art Market, Art fairs, Collecting, Thoughts on art
This Thursday, Art Basel Miami Beach gets under way, as do the vast number of alternate fairs, and the entire design section that has emerged as a compliment to all the art.
It remains to be seen what the effects of the economic downturn will have on the fairs - and the hype. Stay tuned.

‘‘Today I’m standing in a house full of art,” says Alan Roth, 33, publisher of 944 Magazine and president of TAI Entertainment, a party promoting and marketing company. “I can’t believe I have all this work.‘

September 11th, 2008 — Art Market, Art fairs, Collecting, Montreal, Prints
Following the trend of commercial galleries collaborating with the auction houses (lest the auction houses overtake them - see VoCA posts HERE and HERE ), in Montreal, the Contemporary Art Galleries Association (AGAC) is going to be organizing an exhibition between its members and Ritchies Auction House.

Entitled A suivre…, the first exhibit is perfect for new collectors, as it will focus on the relatively affordable medium of works on paper. Handily, it will parallel the art fair PAPIER 08, which will take place in Montreal from October 23 to 26, 2008, and which is also organized by AGAC.

1. How much will the Toronto International Art Fair improve now that Paul Morris is in charge?
Morris, a co-founder of New York’s Armory Show, now oversees six fairs owned by the Chicago-based Merchandise Mart, including Art Chicago, Next: The Invitational Exhibition of Emerging Art in Chicago (Where some of Canada’s best galleries, Birch Libralato, Edward Day, Goodwater, Greener Pastures, Katherine Mulherine, Newzones, the Other Gallery, Pierre Francois Ouellette, Clint Roenisch and Skew are exhibiting this week), Volta fair in New York and Basel, the Armory Show and TIAF.

1. GUSTAV KLIMT AT THE NEUE GALERIE - We were really looking forward to seeing the Klimt painting - Adele Bloch-Bauer I (1907) - that Ronald Lauder bought for $135 million and that is prominently displayed as the centerpiece of the current exhibition of mostly prepatory drawings at the Neue Galerie.

But with all the glitz and sparkle of today’s contemporary art – thanks, Chris Ofili – we were expecting something awesome, like a glittering, sparkling mosaic. By comparison the mannered work in oil on canvas with gold and silver plating and vaguely Egyptian detail was a beautiful work, but it was if the slick production values of much of today’s contemporary art had dulled our senses.

THE ARTIST PROJECT TORONTO
March 6 – 9, 2008
At the Liberty Grand, Toronto
We couldn’t help chuckle as we read that The Artist Project - Toronto’s newly announced Independent art fair - “will include…the “Orange Competition” where exhibiting artists will interpret their feelings about the colour Orange.”
Nonetheless, MMPI, one of the largest trade-show producers in the world, which has done Art Chicago, the Armory Show in New York and Toronto’s Interior Design Show, will bring The Artist Project Toronto to the city this coming March.
The Artist Project Chicago will run in April next year, concurrently with Art Chicago™, featuring independent artists undiscovered by the gallery community.
The Canadian version is billed as “a four day exhibition and sale of contemporary fine art, which will bring together for the first time a carefully juried selection of new and emerging artists under one roof. It will welcome over 100 juried independent artists selected to showcase their work to gallerists, collectors and art enthusiasts in an intimate environment. Approximately 85% of the artists will be from Canada.”
