The Curator's Eye - Dealer In Focus & Sales Highlights: Michael Pashby
Armory Focus: USA to be Curated by Eric Shiner, Director of The Andy Warhol Museum
 Eric Shiner, Director of The Andy Warhol Museum, Appointed Curator of Armory Focus: USA In Celebration of the Centennial of the 1913 Armory Show, The Fourth Edition of Armory Focus Will Exhibit the Achievements of Contemporary Art in America |
| NEW YORK - Armory Focus, the curated section of The Armory Show, highlights the gallery and artistic landscape of a chosen geographic region. As part of this year’s reflection on the arrival of the avant-garde in America, Eric Shiner, Director of The Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh, will curate Armory Focus: USA, presenting a broad snapshot of the country’s contemporary cultural practice. The Armory Show’s 2013 program will celebrate the centennial of the original Armory Show of 1913, a groundbreaking exhibition credited with bringing modernism to America. As American artists, galleries, and institutions continue to grapple with and re-position modes of self-reflection, Armory Focus: USA will examine the forefront of artistic practice—the core of our inherited legacy stretching back to the 1913 Armory Show—by showcasing contemporary responses to integral questions of artistic production in the United States. In recognition of our country’s extraordinarily diverse cultural output, we will offer a select group of galleries from across America the opportunity to present their unique programming, providing a forum for an ever-expanding national conversation at the fair. In light of his appointment, Eric Shiner notes, “I am most excited to curate the 2013 Armory Show Focus section and to gauge the pulse of contemporary art production in America today. A celebration of the first Armory Show in 1913—an event that ushered in the avant-garde to this country—next year’s fair will stand as a testament to the fact that the avant-garde took root here and prospered, just as it will highlight the very best artists and artworks available today. Although it will certainly be challenging to give a barometer of what contemporary art from America has become, I hope to put together a witty and far-sweeping Focus section that makes visitors stop and think about America, art, and ultimately their place within it.” Michael Hall, Creative Director of The Armory Show, says, “We are delighted to announce the appointment of Eric Shiner, whose curatorial insights will craft an exceptional take on the visual culture flourishing in our own back yard. At the helm of a cutting-edge institution in the heart of America, Eric was the perfect choice to lead this section, defining the new avant-garde of the early twenty-first century.” Noah Horowitz, Executive Director of The Armory Show, states, “America has always been a country defined by its attraction to the frontier, and a century after the original Armory Show gave American artists license to break conclusively with the past, that frontier is increasingly being explored through art that addresses the most complex issues of our time, from the pervasive influence of technology on modern life to the atomizing force of globalization. In Armory Focus: USA, we are proud to survey this artistic vanguard through the lens of our distinguished curator, Eric Shiner.” In addition to Armory programming that will take place leading up to and during the fair, several of our cultural partners will host exhibitions relating to the 1913 Armory and the development of modernism. During the fair, the Museum of Modern Art will present Inventing Abstraction, 1910–1925 (December 23, 2012–April 15, 2013); the Metropolitan Museum of Art will exhibit African Art, New York, and the Avant-Garde (November 27, 2012–April 14, 2013), displaying African artifacts acquired by New York’s artistic community during the 1910s and 1920s; and the Montclair Art Museumwill show The New Spirit: American Art in the Armory Show, 1913 (February 17–June 16, 2013). The New-York Historical Society, meanwhile, will host The Armory Show at 100, featuring such canonical works as Duchamp’s Nude Descending a Staircase, first viewed on American soil at The Armory Show of 1913. The exhibition will open in October 2013. About the Armory Focus Curator Eric C. Shiner is the Director of The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, PA. Shiner has organized and curated three major exhibitions since his appointment to Director in 2011, including: Factory Direct: Pittsburgh, an exhibition showcasing the artwork of 14 established contemporary artists invited to conduct artist residencies in Pittsburgh-based factories; Deborah Kass: Before and Happily Ever After, a major mid-career retrospective of paintings and sculpture by the New York artist; and the 2011 Pittsburgh Biennial, an exhibition at The Andy Warhol Museum dedicated to artists whose work aims at transgressing boundaries and engendering transformative change in a nod to Gertrude Stein and her life’s work. Shiner is committed to positioning The Andy Warhol Museum as the epicenter of Andy Warhol’s legacy, as well as a global contemporary art destination. He is an active writer and translator, a contributing editor forArtAsiaPacific magazine, and an adjunct professor of art history at The University of Pittsburgh. He received a Bachelor of Philosophy in The History of Art & Architecture and Japanese Language & Literature from The University of Pittsburgh’s Honors College in 1994, an M.A. in The History of Art from Osaka University in 2001, and another M.A. in The History of Art from Yale in 2003. He joined The Andy Warhol Museum as The Milton Fine Curator of Art in 2008. About The Andy Warhol Museum Located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the place of Andy Warhol's birth, The Andy Warhol Museum is one of the most comprehensive single-artist museums in the world. The Andy Warhol Museum is one of the four Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh. Additional information about The Warhol is available at www.warhol.org. The History of Armory Focus Armory Focus was initiated in 2010 to highlight the contemporary gallery and artistic landscape from a specific geographic region.

Armory Focus booths are located in a dedicated section adjacent to the entrance of Pier 94 and associated projects will be presented throughout the fair.

NEW PARRISH ART MUSEUM TO OPEN WITH FIRST-EVER INSTALLATION OF WORKS FROM THE PARRISH’S COLLECTION
NEW PARRISH ART MUSEUM TO OPEN WITH FIRST-EVER
INSTALLATION OF WORKS FROM THE PARRISH’S COLLECTION
INSTALLATION OF WORKS FROM THE PARRISH’S COLLECTION
Skylit Galleries Showcase American Art from Mid-1800s to Present
SOUTHAMPTON, NY 5/22/2012 — The Parrish Art Museum will open the doors
to its new building in Water Mill on November 10, 2012, with installations of works
from its outstanding permanent collection on view for the first time in its 115-year
history. Ranging in date from the nineteenth century to the present, the Parrish’s
holdings include more than 2,600 paintings, sculptures, and works on paper by
many of America’s most influential artists.
The inaugural installation of the collection in the Parrish’s new building,
established in a series of skylit rooms, will focus on the leading characteristics of
the Museum’s permanent collection. Each gallery will provide a narrative framework
within which visitors can see and experience masterworks of art, organized to
convey and celebrate the story of America’s most enduring and influential artists’
colony: Eastern Long Island. The four overarching concepts that provide the
foundation for this installation are: 1) highlighting the strengths of the Museum’s
in-depth holdings; 2) exploring specific relevant themes; 3) focusing on an
individual artist and his or her studio practice; and 4) presenting a cohesive
narrative of American art, with particular attention to important movements in art
history as they have developed among this unprecedented group of artists.
Viewed as a changing portfolio rather than a fixed presentation, the
installation will begin with art from the 1970s to the present, bringing to the fore
the brightest exemplars of artists working today on the East End, including many of
the so-called Process generation such as Chuck Close, Lynda Benglis, Mary
Heilmann, Malcolm Morley, Alan Shields, Keith Sonnier, and Joe Zucker, as well as
those succeeding artists who returned to figuration, including Ross Bleckner, April
Gornik, and Donald Sultan.
A gallery dedicated to the Parrish’s strong holdings in landscape paintings will
take as its theme American Views, bringing together works by nineteenth-century
masters including William Merritt Chase, Childe Hassam, John Frederick
Twachtman, and twentieth-century practitioners including Jane Freilicher, Sheridan
Lord, and Jane Wilson.
The Parrish’s in-depth holdings of two preeminent American artists, William
Merritt Chase and Fairfield Porter, are surveyed in adjoining galleries. Chase was a
portraitist and landscape artist virtually unequaled in his day, and the gallery will
feature several masterworks as well as photographs from the Museum’s extensive
William Merritt Chase Archives. Also included will be a range of works by Porter, the
preeminent twentieth-century realist painter, who moved to Southampton in 1949.
In his writings as art critic, Porter expressed his admiration for the Abstract
Expressionists, particularly Willem de Kooning, yet maintained a steadfast figurative
vision throughout his work. Several of his paintings illuminate the inspiration he
found in the surrounding landscape of the East End and among his friends and
colleagues. As with Chase’s work, Porter’s creative approach will be framed by
archival materials, including sketchbooks and photographs. The Museum has
published a fully illustrated and highly informative book, Fairfield Porter Raw:
The Creative Process of an American Master, that will be available through the
Museum store.
Esteban Vicente: Portrait of the Artist is the first in a series of gallery
installations that will pinpoint a single artist and his studio practice. This lyrical
abstractionist arrived in America in 1936, schooled in the old world academic
tradition of his native Spain and fresh from a sojourn in the heady milieu of 1920s
Paris. Yet his openness to new influences and to new friendships, including those
with artists Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Mark Rothko, assured his
critical role in the evolution of Abstract-Expressionist discourse in 1940s and 50s
New York. Paintings and works on paper, along with ancillary materials to further
illuminate Vicente’s life and career, will be on view.
In the Company of Friends will look at creativity and connectivity among
artists who came to prominence in the 1950s and 60s, when the response to
Abstract Expressionism took a multiplicity of forms, including Minimalism and Pop.
Works by Dan Flavin, Roy Lichtenstein, Alfonso Ossorio, Larry Rivers, and Leon Polk
Smith will be featured.
The interior Spine Galleries run the length of the exhibition space and provide
an intimate setting for viewing smaller-scaled works on paper and the opportunity
to focus in on a variety of themes. The Artist in the Studio will bring together
images that convey the nexus of creative activity in photographs of William Merritt
Chase, Fairfield Porter, and Roy Lichtenstein, among others.
In Jean-Luc Mylane the focus will be on a suite of the well-known French
photographer’s recent photographs of the Texas landscape and its avian inhabitants
that links the plein-air tradition to thoroughly contemporary practice.
The light and landscape of Eastern Long Island have drawn artists to the
region since the Long Island Railroad extended its service to Southampton in 1870.
Members of New York’s Tile Club visited Bridgehampton, East Hampton, Montauk,
Greenport, and Shelter Island in 1878, and William Merritt Chase established the
Shinnecock Hills Summer School of Art, the first school in America devoted to pleinair
painting, in 1891.
World War II saw the departure of many notable artists from Europe to the
United States, and many of these émigrés, among them Max Ernst, André Breton,
and Marcel Duchamp, visited the East End. American artists of the New York School
followed, such as Robert Motherwell, Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, Willem de
Kooning, and Esteban Vicente. For the past 60 years, the East End has been home
to a veritable pantheon of modern and contemporary artists, among them Fairfield
Porter, Larry Rivers, Jane Freilicher, Roy Lichtenstein, April Gornik, Cindy Sherman,
Eric Fischl, Ross Bleckner, and Dorothea Rockburne.
The Parrish’s core mission is to celebrate the art of Eastern Long Island, both
past and present, and its profound influence on the modern visual imagination. The
Museum’s holdings, which include important works by the abovementioned and
other seminal artists who have lived and worked in the region, reflect this objective.
