Press Release

HELEN PASHGIAN: NEW LENSES AND SPHERES

Juy 16 - August 31, 2019
Vito Schnabel Gallery
Via Maistra 37, St. Mortiz

Beginning July 16, 2019, Vito Schnabel Gallery is pleased to present Helen Pashgian: New Lenses and Spheres, the gallery’s first exhibition devoted to the West Coast artist, a pioneer and preeminent figure of the vaunted Light and Space movement that emerged in and around Los Angeles in the late 1960s. This is Pashgian’s first solo exhibition in Switzerland.
The exhibition presents eight new sculptures, extending Pashgian’s exploration of her earliest forms—her signature discs and spheres—and revealing the artist at the height of her technical prowess as a true innovator in the development of the industrial plastic arts. Manifesting a tension between the material and immaterial, illusion and perception, Pashgian creates objects that dissolve their own physicality as they materialize the subtly shifting, luminous, and translucent qualities of light.

The Collector's Vision hosted by HOFA Gallery
Coffee and Conversation on Saturday June 22 at 11am. 
In partnership with LA Design Festival, HOFA Gallery is hosting an informal discussion over coffee and cocktails with Los Angeles based art industry professionals and art collectors. 
We’ll talk about the intersection of artistic practice, interior design, and art advisory to realize

Guest speakers include art advisor and Posner Fine Art principal Wendy Posner and artist Robert Standish.
Wendy Posner--CEO of Posner Fine Art--grew up in the art business in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

An avid traveler, Wendy Posner has journeyed to over 20 countries where she regularly attends art fairs, makes studio visits, and treks to far-flung places.

Robert Standish is a Los Angeles based painter whose organic process reveals the emotive effects of color, shape, and texture. His work can be found in the collections of LACMA, Louis K. Meisel, Patricia Arquette, Lewis Manilow, and the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation among others. 
HOFA Gallery is a contemporary art gallery located in West Hollywood. Its LA gallery is the third of the HOFA family after locations in London and Mykonos. Since having been the first art gallery in the world to make its entire collection available in cryptocurrency last year, it’s become known internationally for supporting artists who work in technologically and conceptually innovative materials and themes. HOFA is committed to presenting investment-grade fine art to collectors at all levels.
The LA Design Festival (June 20-23, 2019) honors Los Angeles' rich design culture and celebrates our status as a global design capital.

Hi All Traveling this summer? In Detroit? Catch !!! From Camelot to Kent State; Pop Art, 1960-1975 @ the Detroit Institute of Arts.

From Camelot to Kent State: Pop Art, 1960-1975

In the 1960s, a new generation of artists became known as Pop artists, based on their use of popular mass media—advertisements, logos, comic strips, and television. Playfully embracing new technologies, and working with master printers and publishers, Pop artists created large editions of fine-art prints.
At the beginning of the decade, many Pop artists celebrated American modern culture, echoing the optimism under the young President John F. Kennedy, a time often called “Camelot.” As the decade unfolded, more artists turned to criticism of the Vietnam War and tragedies such as the shooting at Kent State University in 1970. 
From Camelot to Kent State: Pop Art, 1960-1975, includes seventy-three prints, drawings, multiples, and sculpture primarily from the DIA collection. It highlights artists including Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Marisol, Corita Kent, Claes Oldenburg, Robert Rauschenberg, James Rosenquist, and Andy Warhol.
  From Camelot to Kent State: Pop Art, 1960-1975 is organized by the Detroit Institute of Arts.

Hi All 20th Century & Contemporary Art Sale Up for Sale June 28th! Get your paddles Ready




Phillips Announces Highlights from the London Sales of
20th Century & Contemporary Art

Including Works from the Miles & Shirley Fiterman Collection;
Property from the Collection of Alex Rodriguez;
And Property from the Estate of Ryan Brant

As well as a Historically Important Luc Tuymans Painting

Luc Tuymans, Schwarzheide
Luc Tuymans b. 1958
Schwarzheide, 1986
Estimate: £800,000-1,000,000

LONDON – 14 JUNE 2019 – Phillips’ June sales of 20th Century & Contemporary Art will offer works from a number of private collections, including the Miles & Shirley Fiterman Collection, property from the Estate of Ryan Brant, and property from the collection of American baseball star Alex Rodriguez. The Evening Sale, taking place on 27 June, will present 36 lots of Modern, Post-War, and Contemporary Art, and will be followed by the Day Sale on 28 June, comprising 160 lots.

Luc Tuymans’s Schwarzheide, 1986, leads this season’s Evening Sale with unparalleled conceptual and historical significance. The painting – essentially a landscape depicting a line of sparse pine trees – appears to present an innocuous subject. However, taking its name after a World War II concentration camp, Schwarzheide belongs to a cycle of works that Tuymans commenced in the latter half of the 1980s, touching on themes of loss and violence in the context of the Holocaust. Tuymans has said of the work, “I wanted to make my paintings look old from the start, which is important because they are about memory.”Having resided in the same private collection since its execution, the work has been exhibited extensively over the last three decades, including showings at Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, The Tate Modern in London, the Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery, and at Documenta IX in Kassel in 1992. It has recently been reproduced as an immense marble mosaic at the Palazzo Grassi, Venice, on the occasion of the artist’s solo exhibition La Pelle.

Worth a trip to to see "The Van Gogh and the Sunflowers" at the Van Gogh Museum June 12-September 1 2019! Book your tickets !!!

Zonnebloemen_uitsnede_PB_LR.jpgCreditline: Vincent van Gogh, Sunflowers (detail), 1889. Oil on canvas, 95 × 73 cm. Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam (Vincent van Gogh Foundation). 
If you have already registered for this opening, please find this email as not sent. 

Dear journalist,

We are pleased to invite you to the press preview of Van Gogh and the Sunflowers.

Sunflowers (1889), one of Vincent van Gogh’s best-known paintings, will be the centrepiece of the summer exhibition Van Gogh and the Sunflowers. The presentation will highlight the flower’s significance to the painter and what he hoped to achieve with his Sunflowers. Van Gogh himself thought that this work was among the best things he had done.
A great deal of study has been devoted to the masterpiece from the Van Gogh Museum’s collection in recent years. The exhibition will show what the latest technical research has contributed to our knowledge of Van Gogh’s working methods, the discolouration of certain pigments and the painting’s conservation history and current condition. The public will also have a first opportunity to see the back of the masterpiece, including the wooden strip that Van Gogh himself added to create more space for the sunflowers.

Shoe Box mLet me know Andrea Bersagliere will have a one day exhibit in NYC Truthfully I did not see the date, follow the link

Andrea Bersaglieri finishes her residency at Shoebox Projects with te(r)ra desideratum a one day exhibition of brand new work

660 South Avenue 21 #3, Los Angeles 90031
Sunday, June 16, 2019 3 – 6 PM
Humans have a predetermined aesthetic preference for nature. It is an evolutionary remnant. But the formal, conceptual, emotional relationship between urbanites and nature is fraught with contradictions. These contradictions are the inspiration for Andrea Bersaglieri's Artist-in-residence exhibition, te(r)ra desideratum, at Shoebox Projects, May 27 to June 16.

The trees, the shrubs and grasses, were nearly all planted here by someone in an attempt to simulate the ideal savannah. We know that, but their presence still stirs our ingrained unshakable appreciation of the aesthetic. They have become our “substitute nature”. The context in which we experience nature seems to amplify its importance. The mundane frameworks within which nature manages to exists here concentrates its beauty and power.

Going from tree to plant to weed to soil looking for, looking at, trying to understand. Bersaglieri uses traditional observational drawing methods in an effort to record this evolution and understand it.

Please join us for the closing reception of te(r)ra desideratum on June 16, 3-6pm.
