I am so grateful to my clients and all of the artists, galleries, auction professionals, and other art professionals who worked with us this year. My family and I thank you and we are taking a much needed rest in the sunshine. Looking forward to an art filled new year. Cheers!

The Alex Katz retrospective at the Guggenheim in NYC is worth the time. Winding up the rotunda one can see how Katz shrugged off the AbEx style of his generation and was instead in dialogue with artists such as Milton Avery. His work became a bit tighter as he started documenting his contemporaries such as the great double portrait of artist Robert Rauschenberg, depictions of the Paul Taylor Dance Company, and the multi-panel sculptural portrait of Allen Ginsberg. As an older artist—now in his 90s—the canvases are BIG and much more abstract. A great way to see the trajectory of the artist and his practice.
.
has acquired both limited edition pieces as well as original paintings by Katz for clients. DM with inquiries.

Those who know me know that I am a fan of print/edition making. They are a great way to acquire less expensive examples of art by great artists.
.
I stopped into new location in Chelsea to check out the exhibition “Framily Ties — You Win Some, You Lose Some”—new pieces by Nina Chanel Abney. Super fun! Her combination of geometric forms with pattern and representational elements in a flattened picture plane make me think of a contemporary update the stylings of the great Henri Matisse.
.

I saw other great pieces by Kenneth Noland, Pat Steir, and Loie Hollowell, among others.

Check out five new paintings by Rudolf Stingel . Interrogating the medium of painting and what constitutes art, Stingel took photographs of his abstract paintings hanging in his studio and created photorealist paintings of those photos at scale. The detail and surface he accomplished is incredible.
.
.
Rudolf Stingel has had one-person exhibitions at the Fondation Beyeler, Riehen/Basel (2019); Palazzo Grassi, Venice (2013); Secession, Vienna (2012); LIVE at the Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin (2010); and a major retrospective at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (2007). Other significant one-person exhibitions include those at the Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt (2004) and the Museo d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Trento (2001). Stingel’s work was included in the 2003, 1999, and 1993 Venice Biennales. Work by Stingel is currently on display at the Bourse de Commerce, Pinault Collection in Paris, through January 9, 2023.

is full of yummy paint and color. The work is joyful, active, and exhilarating. It has been the year of Joan having seen her retrospective exhibition . She is finally getting the attention she deserved as an incredible artist working at the same time as de Kooning, Pollack, and the rest of the AbEx greats. Check it out if you are in NYC.

From Botticelli to Brueghel, to Klimpt, O’Keeffe, Rivera, and Freud, to Johns, Binion and beyond, the Paul Allen sales tonight and tomorrow will be incredible to watch. Tune in via Christie’s livestream online starting at 7pm tonight. The collection is encyclopedic and the crème de la crème. Allen was the co-founder of Microsoft and he died in 2018. I dare say his love for art matched his success in technology.

An Art Strategies client will be welcoming this Christo study for “The Gates, A Project for Central Park…” into their midtown apartment in New York just blocks from the park. The last exhibition I curated as a gallerist was with Christo and Jeanne-Claude in support of this project. I admired the artists’ creativity, persistence, and resolve and [email protected] to have known them. The clients walked the project when it was up for two weeks, as did I and so many others. That art project connects us and all of the millions who walked it those weeks.

Found this beauty a fantastic new home with great clients.

Helen Frankenthaler (American, 1928-2011)
“Somnambulist,” 1989
Acrylic on canvas
74 1/2 x 62 inches
….
“Somnambulist” meaning sleepwalker is an accomplished nocturne painting by one of most famous women who worked in the New York school of the 1950’s and 60’s. The ground of the painting is created in her signature soak stain technique using tones of black, darker at the upper left and lightening as it encounters two yellow circle forms. The moon and remnants of the sun perhaps? Fields of white and blue/green dance in the night with calligraphic marks of pink, red, orange….

Tardy posting more of the incredible exhibitions I viewed in NYC in September. I def recommend checking out “Meditations on Social Sculpture” by Houston-based artist and community activist, Rick Lowe. The paintings are HUGE. I do love their relationship to map making—which is subjective—and the topography achieved in the collages.
.
.
The layering of small elements remind me of early Mark Bradford with the layering of his mom’s rolling papers from her beauty shop. To me they were a different kind of portrait of a place and it’s people.

Last weekend, I was fortunate to catch the closing of Cezanne at the . So many 20th century artists seemed to collect or cite Cezanne as an influence. He was a first in the modernist art movement as he started to flatten and deconstruct space.

Try to catch these big exhibitions because they pull together art from around the world and display them in one place.

Another beautiful acquisition and installation for a client. Untitled, 1952, by Willem de Kooning. This graphite and charcoal on paper of one of de Kooning’s “women” now greets visitors in a Long Island home not too far away from where both Willem and Elaine de Kooning had homes and studios.

“Crossing” by Julian Opie

Another successful art selection and installation by the team . Here a series of lenticular pieces by activate a long hallway between five bedrooms.
.
Opie’s work is seeped in art history. With this series think about how the human figure activates space. What is the history of designers using the human figure as architectural embellishment? What is the relationship of the human body to architecture? Is a space really successful if not activated by people?
.
Thank you Cristea Roberts Gallery.
