Sandra Benny/Richard Vaux:
 A Working Relationship
  gallery photo  
View the artistic beauty of Sandra Benny and Richard Vaux's homage 
to the natural environment. 
  
These internationally acclaimed local artists, who are husband and wife, share a passion for art and nature.  Her nature-inspired works take colored pencil drawing to a rare level of exactitude, producing works that astonish the eye and the mind.    His works of nature-derived abstractions in blown powdered graphite or charcoal (often with an added veil of airbrushed acrylic), and his works in acrylic and oil are "visual poems" of light and illumination.

RICHARD ARTSCHWAGER BLPS High Line Art and the Whitney Present Series of
Artist's Iconic Blps On and Around the High Line In Conjunction with the Retrospective Richard Artschwager! at the Whitney


October 25, 2012–February 3, 2013
 
Richard Artschwager

NEW YORK, October 5, 2012—In partnership with High Line Art, presented by Friends of the High Line, the Whitney Museum of American Art is mounting a series of blps by Richard Artschwager, in conjunction with the artist’s Whitney retrospective Richard Artschwager!. A group of blps will be installed in various locations on and around the High Line and will be on view in tandem with the Whitney retrospective from Thursday, October 25, 2012, to Sunday, February 3, 2013. Artschwager introduced his blps—a word coined by the artist and pronounced “blips”—in the late 1960s. The blps were first installed at the University of California–Davis, then in Europe, and then throughout New York City, including on subways and building facades, and in galleries. These public interventions consist of black or white lozenge-shaped marks that inspire focused looking, and draw attention to architecture, structures, and surfaces that usually go unnoticed. Artschwager’s blps have transformed art spaces and city streets for decades, creating an opportunity for the “useless looking” the artist has aspired to throughout his career.

As part of the upcoming retrospective at the Whitney, exhibition curator Jennifer Gross, in collaboration with High Line Art, has organized a project working with the artist that will revisit this aspect of his practice. Artschwager will install blps on and around the High Line, near the future downtown home of the Whitney Museum at the southern terminus of the High Line, at Gansevoort and Washington Streets, and the Whitney’s building uptown on Madison Avenue at East 75th Street. There, part of the exhibition reviews the history of the blp, including Artschwager’s 100 Locations, an installation of 100 blps that were placed around the Whitney Museum at the time of Artschwager’s appearance in the 1968 Whitney Annual Exhibition, as well as other blp projects.

Jennifer Gross, the Seymour H. Knox, Jr. Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at Yale University Art Gallery says, “The partnership between High Line Art and the Whitney has enabled Richard Artschwager to blp the neighborhood surrounding the High Line and has provided an essential component of his retrospective. Artschwager’s blps are a natural extension of the High Line’s embrace of its community and will only make even more visible the aesthetic richness of New York.” “I look forward to seeing the High Line dotted by blps,” says Cecilia Alemani, the Donald R. Mullen, Jr. Curator & Director of High Line Art. “The High Line is a natural theater for art, with its lush landscape, innovative design, and breathtaking views of New York City. Like in a connect-the-dots game, Artschwager’s blps will link the High Line’s unique characteristics, creating a three-dimensional painting in the landscape surrounding the park."
This project is made possible by the Whitney Museum of American Art and High Line Art, presented by Friends of the High Line. Richard Artschwager! is organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art in association with the Yale University Art Gallery. Support for the blp project is provided by 32BNY.

ABOUT THE PIANISTS
"A pianist of authority and imagination. Versatile, secure in every respect, a spectacular technique."
~ Los Angeles Times
Gerald Robbins has distinguished himself internationally as a soloist, recitalist, and chamber musician of poetic sensitivity and virtuosic technique. Since capturing a major prize at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 1969, he has performed regularly in the world's major music centers throughout Europe, Japan, and the United States. As a soloist accompanied by an orchestra, he has performed with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Royal Philharmonic, BBC Symphony and its affiliates, and Royal Liverpool Symphony under such conductors as Zubin Mehta, Neville Marriner, Edouard van Remoortel, Okku Kamu, Jorge Mester, and Lawrence Foster. In addition, Robbins' chamber music activities include collaborations with noted violinists Nathan Milstein, Pinchas Zukerman, Kyung-Wha Chung, Glenn Dicterow, and Ruggiero Ricci. Featured on numerous radio and television broadcasts, Robbins performed Rhapsody in Blue on the Emmy-award winning Gershwin TV special starring Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme, and was the featured pianist on the soundtrack for the Academy Award-winning British film, A Shocking Accident. A champion of neglected romantic repertoire, Robbins' artistry on the London-Decca, Orion and Genesis labels include world-premiere recordings of concerti by Litolff and Reinecke. He is co-founder of the Lyric Piano Quartet and is a member of the chamber music faculty of the Manhattan School of Music in New York City.

"... balancing pianistic flair with musical intellingence, Marin's playing of the cadenza was a dazzling showstopper"
~ Crescenta Valley Weekly
"Natasha Marin was impressive ... Under her hands, she nearly pinned the audience to their seats with a fiery rendition of Chopin's scherzo" ~ Boulevard Sentinel
Russian-born Natasha Marin began studying piano at age 6 and was later accepted into the Special Music School for Gifted Children at the St. Petersburg State Conservatory. She earned her B.A. in piano performance from the conservatory's Rimsky-Korsakov Music College, graduating with honors, and later studied with Leonid Sintsev and Igor Lebedev. After moving to California, she attended UCLA where she studied piano with Vitaly Margulis and Professor Antoinette Perry, contemporary music with Grammy Award-winning pianist Gloria Cheng, and worked with acclaimed scholar/media author Robert Winter.
Currently, she performs classical genres (and non-classical repertoire) as a soloist and with piano duos, vocalists, and chamber ensembles. In addition to radio and television appearances, she has recorded and performed live at St. Petersburg Philharmonic Hall in Russia, Comerica Theater in Phoenix, Gable Theater Stage in Coral Gables, Florida, Leo Bing Theater, Colburn School's Zipper Hall, and Thorne Hall in Los Angeles, and other U.S. and international venues.
Premiering June 2008 in Los Angeles, her piano duo "Double Sharp" with Maria Demina won the Grand Prize at a regional competition and appeared live and the radio nationwide. The program features music of Russian romantic and 20th-century composers, incorporating an innovative presentation with custom costumes by designer Vera DeFehr. "Double Sharp" has performed also at charity events like Robert Shapiro's Foundation and Alice Cooper's Solid Rock Foundation.
Together with French soprano Nicol Mecerova, Marin created "Voyage a Paris," program spanning 200 years of the French Art Song, which was presented in the US and Russia. She also performs with her husband actor/comedian Cheech Marin. The couple has appeared at the Hollywood Bowl, Valley Performing Arts Center of the California State University, Northridge, and Bonnaroo Festival in Manchester, Tennessee. She has also worked with Grammy Award-winning producer Peter Asher, playing piano on "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" for the album "Siren" by vocal duo Sasha and Shawna (Manhattan Records, 2007).

Beverly Fishman

In a new series of visually provocative abstractions, Beverly Fishman explores the fast evolving relationship between our bodies and contemporary technology. Her vibrantly colored paintings and sculptures have their genesis in diverse patterns and iconography drawn from scientific imaging systems and pharmaceutical packaging. By manipulating and layering these representational traces of the body into dense, psychedelic compositions, Fishman raises questions about the vulnerability of human identity in an in an increasingly digitized and electronically-mediated world.

Beverly Fishman's paintings are configurations of horizontal panels of polished stainless steel, each containing dense visual fields woven from neural imagery, sound waves, EEG graphs and other technological data. These accumulate into optically dazzling moiré patterns that are interrupted by images of drug capsules and molecular symbols. Painted in enamel on mirrored metal, the dynamic surfaces mingle with the reflections of spectators in the surrounding environment, allowing us to view our own fractured image in the multiple panels. The "Dividose" paintings, so named for multi-tab pills designed for user-controlled dosages, evoke what art historians and imaging theorist Barbara Maria Stafford has called "a frenzied inscape...that captures both the effect and the seduction of such mood-altering substances. These works are what they represent: stimulants."

Fishman's Pill Spill, currently on display at the Detroit Institute of Art is an installation of unique glass capsule forms that take their cue from mood-altering drugs. Like her paintings, each of the hand blown elements juxtapose multiple patterns, surfaces, and hues into an arresting spectacle. In 2011, Pill Spill first took form as an installation of 120 capsules in the Toledo Museum of Art, installed in dialogue with the architecture of the museum's Glass Pavilion. The capsules are configured to underscore the viewer's personal relationship to pharmaceuticals. These tantalizing yet paradoxical medications -- glass capsules that won't dissolve -- remind us that medicine can be both a cure and a poison.

Beverly Fishman  
Beverly Fishman has exhibited internationally and has garnered numerous honors including fellowships from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Last year she received the Hassam, Speicher, Betts, and Symons Purchase Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Her work is in many public collections including the Columbus Museum of Art, Detroit Art Institute of Arts, Miami Art Museum, Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, and Toledo Museum of Art.
