LONDON – 20 JUNE 2019 – This summer, Phillips London will transform its Berkeley Square gallery into an immersive landscape with HYSTERICAL, a selling exhibition in collaboration with renowned set designer and artist Gary Card. HYSTERICAL will bridge Gary’s creative wonderland as a backdrop to a selection of works available for private sale by contemporary artists including Erik Parker, Cindy Sherman, Kenny Scharf, Ugo Rondinone, Joyce Pensato, Harold Ancart, Nicolas Party, Andre Butzer, and Paul McCarthy. The works will be exhibited in harmony with Gary’s designs, focusing on the farcical and neurotic within contemporary art. HYSTERICAL will open to the public from 18 July to 21 August 2019.

Miety Heiden, Phillips’ Head of Private Sales, said, “By joining forces with Gary Card we are going to flood our London gallery with colour, fun and audacity – creating an unforgettable experience that will take audiences on a vivid journey. We have a clear roster of artists in mind for this show, one that will co-exist and complement the environment Gary has created. The set design is not just the scenery or the background – it is part of the narrative material that will enchant audiences and transport them to an alternate universe. Works will be presented in a new light, environment and context – HYSTERICAL is an all-encompassing work of art.”

Gary Card, said: “I am thrilled to be partnering with Phillips on this. They are a powerhouse in the art world and to have my name attached to them is a great honour. Having free reign of their space in Berkeley Square is a dream come true, as it’s one of the best spaces to present art in London as no space comes close in scale and visibility. As a set designer it’s a privilege to be able to inhabit and transform a space of this scale. I want the viewer to be thrown into a darkly comic world, part psychedelic fever dream, part saccharine cartoon chaos. Like finding a tarantula in a bunch of bananas these works capture something inherently sinister while appearing equally absurd and disarming.”

Known for his unforgettable dreamlike scenes, Card has worked with major brands such as Nike, Hermès, Balenciaga, Comme des Garçons, to designing album covers for Paul McCartney and costumes for Lady Gaga. In parallel to building the environment, Card will be creating a new site-specific sculpture and a series of prints. Phillips will set up a shop where visitors can buy limited edition toys and collectables by Card.

Traveling to St. Moritz? Vito Schnabel Gallery presents Helen Pashgain's "NewLenses and Spheres July 16ht. St. Moritz.

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. #fineartmagazine

If your in LA catch the Collector's Vision , at the HOFA Gallery Coffee and Conversation, Sat. June 22

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  a collector’s own conceptual and aesthetic expression.  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. After graduating from Boston University, Posner moved to Los Angeles, and in 2014 she acquired PFA as principal, having honed her skills there for over 20 years. 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. Our definition of design is purposely broad to ensure that our festival is reflective of LA’s diversity and talent. The Festival is the only citywide festival of its kind, featuring events throughout LA. From architecture and interiors to graphic, industrial, fashion, set, costume, and experiential design, the LA Design Festival showcases the best of the local design scene as well as some exciting national and international voices.

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.
