First Annual Coutts Museum Art Auction

Event date: July 16, 2011

The first annual Coutts Museum Art Auction will be held at the Coutts Museum of Art in El Dorado, KS, this Saturday, July 16, from 6pm to 9pm.  This live auction is also running concurrently online at www.proxibid.com/coutts  Bids may be made online prior to the auction, as well as during the live auction. The auction is in conjunction with PaintAmerica Association, a national nonprofit organization to support artists and the visual arts. Proceeds will be a benefit for the ongoing operations of each of these arts organizations.

“This is a major national art auction, with consigned pieces from many of the top contemporary representative artists in the country,” stated Rod Seel, executive director of the museum. “This is an excellent opportunity to purchase highly collectible works of art at a great price. Every piece in the sale is a high quality work, from a well-known, award-winning artist.”

The auction includes several dozen works of art. Some of the artists featured in the auction include Joseph Orr, Howard Friedland, Susan Blackwood, Jerry Metz, Jay Moore, Eva Van Rijn, Jim Clements, Jack Hetterich, Phil Starke, Neil Patterson, Ralph Oberg and many others. The complete catalog may be viewed online at www.proxibid.com/coutts

"I'm excited about bringing this level of quality work to auction in the Midwest,” said Seel. “Previously, buyers would need to go to Santa Fe, or Scottsdale, or Jackson Hole for this level of auction.  The work is really high quality. And, buyers who come to the live auction will also be able to tour our recently renovated museum, with several walls of fixed price offerings.”

The Coutts Museum of Art, located in downtown El Dorado, Kansas is a regional art museum that houses over 1,500 works of art in a historic 1917 building. The collection includes traditional, contemporary, European, western and local Kansas art.

Robin Antar Featured in Crain's New York

	Robin Antar Featured in Crain's New York The following article featured Robin Antar's work on the Crain's New York website as well as in their print edition. Photo by Buck Ennis. Gotham Gigs: Carving out a niche By Miriam Kreinin Souccar July 10, 2011 5:59 a.m. Brooklyn sculptor Robin Antar has been working for years on turning a gigantic marble slab into a replica of a bag of potato chips. For 10 years, Brooklyn sculptor Robin Antar has risen each morning and headed to her garage, where she's turning a 6,000-pound marble slab into a giant replica of a bag of potato chips. To work on different sides of the sculpture, she has to rent a crane to move it. Now that she's nearly finished, Ms. Antar has been calling chip company execs to see if they want to buy the piece. If someone does, she'll add the appropriate brand. The 53-year-old artist has sculpted a host of consumer products. Her works, priced at $5,000 to $126,000, include a life-size Dr. Martens boot, a York Peppermint Pattie and an 800-pound “bag” of M&M's. An art teacher and abstract sculptor since 1978, Ms. Antar started creating product replicas after Sept. 11. “Everyone was doing things like Twin Towers and flags, and I said: 'What can I do to represent America? What is America?' “ Ms. Antar asked. “It's junk food.” The artist, who raised three boys while frequently staying up all night to sculpt, says that by capturing everyday items in stone, she is creating a record of contemporary culture. “Two thousand years from now, there's not going to be Reese's Peanut Butter Cups,” she said. A version of this article appeared in the July 11, 2011 print issue of Crain's New York Business.

MCA Chicago Plaza Project - Mark Handforth

Mark Handforth MCA Chicago Plaza Project July 9 - October 10, 2011 This summer, the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) Chicago debuts four enormous, whimsically surreal new works on the front plaza by artist Mark Handforth on the front plaza, on view from July 9 to October 10, 2011. This group of dynamic sculptures by Handforth is part of the MCA's commitment to blurring the lines between the inside and outside of the museum; enlivening Chicago with contemporary art beyond the museum walls. Activating the MCA plaza this summer, Handforth's sculptures draw from the visual language of the city -- lampposts, traffic cones, police hats -- while introducing surprising icons into the urban landscape, like an oversized coat hanger and a gargantuan bone and phone handset. Handforth prefers working in outdoor public spaces without barriers, transforming the geometry of the MCA's building with his four playful installations. LamppostSnake takes the material and scale of an urban street lamp and twists it into the form of a coiled snake with the head formed by the lamp. Exuberantly painted with bright colors, it not only contrasts sharply with the MCA façade, but also provides illumination at night. Another work, Blackbird, takes the form of a giant coat hanger made from brass pipe hand-bent by the artist. This twisted shape is a metaphor for the sculptural process itself, as the bending and twisting of hanger wire is often the starting point for sculptors experimenting with new forms. Handforth's penchant for the surreal is displayed in another work, PhoneBone, that pairs a giant bone, similar to an oversized femur, with an equally out of scale bright yellow telephone handset. The handset cradles the bone as if thrown together by a force of nature. The fourth and smallest piece, BeatProp, features a crumpled safety cone topped by an English Bobby hat cast in stainless steel and covered with layer upon layer of colorful paint. Born in 1969 in Hong Kong, and raised in England, Mark Handforth now lives and works in Miami, Florida. Handforth has shown outdoor public sculptures in Central Park in New York City; the Dallas Museum of Art; and Zurich, Switzerland.
