See the online calendar for an up-to-date listing of events and programs. Please note that the Whitney's phones remain inactive, and the Museum's administrative offices are closed. We hope to see you at the Whitney! Exhibitions Wade Guyton OS "The Whitney Museum has a hit on its hands: a beautiful show organized by a young curator that makes a cogent case for the work of a young artist."—The New York Times Through January 13, 2013 Over the past decade, New York–based artist Wade Guyton has pioneered a groundbreaking body of work that explores our changing relationships to images and artworks through the use of common digital technologies, such as the desktop computer, scanner, and inkjet printer. Guyton’s purposeful misuse of these tools to make paintings and drawings results in beautiful accidents that relate to the ways in which we haltingly navigate the visual and technological barrage of our time. Richard Artschwager! "The last great minimalist"—New York Magazine Through February 3, 2013 Richard Artschwager had his first solo exhibition at the age of forty-two, in 1965 at Leo Castelli Gallery. Since then his art has been shown throughout the world, and his enigmatic and diverse work has been influential, yet not thoroughly understood. This exhibition is a comprehensive review of Artschwager’s remarkable creative exploration of the mediums of sculpture, painting, and drawing, and is the first retrospective exhibition of Artschwager’s work since the one organized by the Whitney in 1988. . . . as apple pie On continuous view Images, like words, can trigger a cultural or emotional response to a shared national ethos. Artists have employed images—sometimes straightforwardly, often obliquely—in order to comment on a country, its people, its political or social goals, and its self-image. This exhibition explores this phenomenon through a rotating installation, drawn from the Whitney’s collection, of works on paper by a diverse group of artists including Robert Bechtle, Enrique Chagoya, Howard Cook, William N. Copley, Edward Hopper, Willard Midgette, Joseph Pennell, Benton Spruance, and Stow Wengenroth. IMAGE CREDITS Wade Guyton (b. 1973), Untitled, 2006. Epson UltraChrome inkjet on linen, 89 × 54 in.

Discussion and Book Signing with Noted Art Consultant and Gallery Owner Paul Dorrell

Discussion and Book Signing with Noted Art Consultant and Gallery Owner Paul Dorrell
The Art League of Long Island is hosting a discussion and book signing of Paul Dorrell’s book Living the Artist’s Life:

Updated & Revised in the League’s Jeanie Tengelsen Gallery on Friday, November 16 at 7:00pm.  The event is open to the public and there is no fee to attend.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR and Book: Dorrell opened Leopold Gallery in 1991, and has been advancing artists’ careers on a national level ever since.  With clients such as Warner Brothers, the Mayo Clinic and H&R Block, Dorrell knows how to land the big deals, yet also how to win the trust of private collectors. He presents the information so that any artist can learn how to more easily structure a career that works. With sage advice and humorous anecdotes, Dorrell keeps you engaged through each chapter. Whether instructing on how to get your work into a gallery, or how to handle self-doubt, he knows his ground. He also tells the story of his gallery's initial failures and eventual successes. Regardless of your place in the arts, you will benefit from this work.

Praise for Living the Artist's Life: Update & Revised:
·      “The success of the Book hasn’t dimmed Dorrell’s drive to help undiscovered artists get the recognition he feels they deserve.  It’s also heavy on pragmatic advice from pricing and promoting one’s work to gaining acceptance by galleries.”  The Associated Press

·      “Dorrell’s book offers a frank and inspiring look at all aspects of the Artist’s Life, from the creative and emotional challenges to the nuts-and-bolts of the art business.”  Hartford Courant

·      “An entertaining and highly valuable guide for aspiring and working artists.” Murray Dessner, Painting Instructor and Critic, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia.


EVENT FORMAT:  Paul will discuss his Book, Living the Artist’s Life: Updated & Revised, and conduct an abbreviated version of his career workshop, accompanied by a handout with a Q&A session.  A book signing follows the presentation.  To learn more about Paul and his work, go to www.LEOPOLDgallery.com

The Jeanie Tengelsen Gallery is located at 107 East Deer Park Road in Dix Hills.  The gallery is open to the public Monday to Friday from 9 AM to 4 PM and weekends from 11 AM to 4 PM.  For more information call (631) 462-5400 or visit www.artleagueli.org.
