Family Photo Wall

More and more of my clients are asking for me to install their family photo's in a salon style. That basically means, to arrange the photo's on the wall, in an asymmetrical manner. The key, and secret to making this type of installation look good, is equalizing the negative space, start on the edges, and work your way into the center. Be sure not to cry, if you have to move a frame 1/2"; just hope the hole don't show! Looks amazing, right?

Project Angel Food, Divine Design

I was asked by Shannon, of Citizen Properties, to assist with art installation, on the walls she built for this affair. This annual event, DIVINE DESIGN, held at the old Robinson-May store in Beverly Hills, is a killer opportunity for style conscious, shoppers to score BIG TIME on high quality, artwork, fashion clothing, furniture, housewares, and toys for spoiled children. The best deal in the sale that I saw, was a nice little abstract from Suzanne Woodruff, who shows her work at the William Turner Gallery. All the volunteers I saw, were working hard, at making the showroom as fantastic as anything you might expect, at an over-the-top, Holiday spectacular blow-out. What a great organization Project Angel Food is, I am proud to have helped them with their great annual fundraising event. It's all part of the job, being a smart-ass, art savvy, man of giving spirit; who has been blessed by plenty, and generously offers help to those who need visual continuity, and acuity provided in a comfortable setting...
The above pictures show you how I found the space, and how I left it.

LAX (not the airport) Art Auction

This great gallery in Culver City, LA><, or LAX, is a non-profit space that leads the way, fearlessly, in exhibiting contemporary art/architecture/design. It is a well run space with incredibly abundant programs, that has filled a huge void in LA's art landscape. I was honored to be asked to assist with the installation of their annual benefit auction. Lauri Firstenberg, the director, was cool as a cucumber directing the installation, without a bead of sweat, or a raised voice. I wish they were all, more like that!
My pick of the auction is this fox croissant from Carlee Fernandez. Come out bid me, or at least try!

DC Comics, Salon wall

Here is a salon style wall installation I recently completed for Warner Bros. / DC Comics in Burbank. The desire was to illustrate the myriad of media that DC permeates; showing radio, TV, Movie, Video gaming, and products. It was my suggestion to install the figurines in the negative space that existed between some of the frames. This is a playful, yet didactic installation enjoyed by both employees, and visitors alike.

If you want a wall like this in your home or business, schedule an appointment with Germise today! Call 310-560-1533

Public Kitchen, at the Roosevelt Hotel

LAartGUY is in the news again! this time in a photograph showing the fabulous art installation created by the fabulous, LAartGuy. According to the food review in the LA Times, the food is as good as the art installation! If you look closely, the framed photographs on the left are actually leaning out from the wall. This is a proprietary technique, used solely by the LAartGuy. Amazing!

LAartGuy in NYC

The LAartGuy acknowledges the fact, that variety is the spice of life; and for this reason, has taken a job, from local artist, Tom Everhart, to drive his artwork cross-country, and install the 100 piece show, at The Animazing Gallery, in NYC.
Here's picture of Tom, in his studio (photo by Jennifer Everhart)
It's a bit of a home-coming for the LAartGuy, as he hails from this east coast State. I romanticize it so; that I must return (during a temperate time of year) to re-acquaint myself with the daily aggravation this magnificent metropolis throws in your face daily. Having grown up with Koch and Dinkins, I departed during Guliani's tenure, knowing very well how the personality of the Mayor, makes it's way down into the subways, and parks of the fairer borough.
I've been basking in the glow of Liberal California sunshine, for almost 2 decades worth of wonderfully difficult and trying times. I go back to NY, every year or so, just as a person in a dysfunctional relationship, returns to the same type mate they just left. But I don't check Craigslist for apartments anymore.

Spring Auction-time

It's that time of year again! Benefit auction season. This LACE auction is another one of the LAartGuy's charitable installs, annually. Sure, it's another bunch of people trying to get their hands, on your money, but hey. Tax rite-off, socializing, drinking and people watching hardly gets better, than at these events. Who knows, if the bar is well stocked with libations of taste, perhaps purse strings will loosen. There is definitely some GREAT artwork up for sale, from some very generous artists like Steve Roden, and Liat Yossifor.
I'd also like to talk about Shana Nys Dambrot's curated selection of artist's; specifically Marjan Vayghan. This young Persian beauty is working in unexplored mediums, merging performance with painting, photography, readymades, and lightboxes. I just installed a show of hers at the Los Angeles Art Association's gallery on LaCienega; she is an absolute pleasure to work with, with the warmest, positive energy, fascinating history, and artwork produced, that I've experienced with such a young artist. Explore her further by seeing, or even buying her work at these two concurrent shows. Here's a picture of the beauty to whet your appetite.

Republicans endorse racism, and hate.....

This sweet old lady, just can't understand all the fuss surrounding her e-mail, of a cartoon, depicting our president as the product of a chimpanzee union.
Apparently she thought her friends, would enjoy this bawdy hilarity; so she e-mailed it around.
Well I guess one of her friends had the audacity to share this e-mail with the news; being that this Davenport lady, and many of her friends were head of the Orange County, California Republican committee.
It sure looks to me, like this lady was birthed by 2 prunes!

This is art, too...................Death

The Adams Funeral home in Compton, may in fact, change my last will and testament.
This facility offers the loved one's, of the deceased, the opportunity to say one last good-bye, without getting out of your car. I believe, that this is why I moved to California, in the first place!

Busy, real busy

LAartGuy is not complaining; rather, explaining my absence from this blog.
Laddie and Lita have kept me busy, readying their work, for travel to Italy.
It's great to see our local team, showing Europe, just how it's done.
Around here, the semi-annual Brewery Artwalk is always a great place to view artists in their native habitat. It doesn't hurt, that there is Stella, on draught, at Barbara West.
The guy I'm going to see, (other than Guillermo Bert), is Ted Meyer. A nice, funny guy, who works with models that have scars. His works seems both didactic, and healing, with a little voyeurism thrown in. See the lady, see her scars. What can't you see?

Tonight, Saturday, go here

Gallery 825 is hosting some funky German art.
Corey Helford is having D-Face in the house.
Robert Russell is a fantastic painter/artist, his new rep is Francois Ghebaly.
And I guess, if you're already slummin' in CC, stop and get some free beer at Blum & Poe's opening tonight of Florian Maier-Aichen. The most important opening tonight, inter-galactically speaking, is Kehinde Wiley, (his work pictured at left) at Roberts & Tilton, around the corner from B&P, this guy is "the shit" as a painter, and history will show him to be the poignant perspective of his generation!
Drive safe, have fun, and spend some money. Someone's gotta get the economy rolling again.
What we're missing, is the "Fuck you" money of the early 00's.
On your way home, stop by my favorite Bikini bar, and drop some singles on the girls (for you, Sid)

Art sale. Tax write off, party, and schmoozefest

Excellent deals are to be had, at this annual LA Art Association fundraiser. I add to my collection, from this sale, every year. This years featured donors are Suzanne Woodruff, who is having a smashing, sell-out show at William Turner Gallery, as well as Ned Evans, another Turner artist. Solomon Huerta has a lovely flower painting, courtesy of Patrick Painter Gallery, and Brad Howe has donated a gorgeous little sculpture in the sale as well.
This event is always catered by a well known food establishment, and sales are fueled by 2 complimentary bars. LAartGuy will be there, and there will be blood! This picture has nothing to do with my post, or the Art sale, but cool photo, huh? Oh yeah, and FACEBOOK sucks.

Ruin Porn, Detroit

Detroit. The city that nature is reclaiming. Just look at the vegetation that has encrusted this house. Amazing photos of the Motor City.
LAartGuy is an American, and loves all cities, not just LA and NY. These are great photos, of a great city. Check them out, you will be awed!

Vija, Vija, Vija!

Franklin Sirmans, the newest of curators at LACMA, has curated a wonderful show; "Vija Celmins: Television and Disaster, 1964-1966"
Rarely does an exhibit show the development of an artists style, and career path.
This show does just that. These are paintings; amazing paintings. LACMA is doing just what a museum is supposed to do; educate and entertain the population of the city in exists within.
Not only does the public get to see wonderfully rendered paintings, but the stuffy, erudite art enthusiasts can marvel at the fact that the artist rendered the propellers of the plane stagnant, while the plane is obviously aloft. What is the artist trying to convey?

GEM. LA Art Association benefit

On April 2, LA Art Association, and Gallery 825 will host their annual art sale and fundraiser.
The gallery has posted the artwork up for sale, on an online site, so you can see what you like, before you get there. This event is always supported by the best restaurants, and booze distributors, so the food and drink is of the highest caliber. You can meet the LAartGuy at this years event; some might call this a highlight of the event. Others may not.
Hope to see all of you, with your checkbooks, on April 2

LAartGuy gives back

Doing for your community is something each and every one of us can do, to help elevate the quality of life, right here, where we live. This is what I believe, and this is why the LAartGuy is donating his services, of installing artwork, for this worthy cause: Homeboy Industries.
The artist, Nancy Baker-Cahill, started this wonderful art program, and has turned the project into a fundraiser. Please take a second to read the article from the LA Times, about this art show and sale. That LAartGuy, what a sweetheart!

Le Butcherettes, Mike Watt, and Norton Wisdom

LAartGuy likes music, too.
Evidence of this fact can be found in the fact that I traveled a good 12 miles to the East side music venue, The Echo, , just to see my new favorite band, Le Butcherettes. Well, you can imagine my surprise to find the the amazing Mike Watt, was playing, with Norton Wisdom, painting live on stage. With a parking spot, right out front, Stella on draft, the night couldn't have gotten much better!

Street art, and low-brow art

http://www.robertbermangallery.com/robertbermangallery/intro.htm
THIS SATURDAY NIGHT, AT BERGAMOT STATION, SANTA MONICA.
Shepard Fairy will be the DJ at yet another of Robert Berman's gala openings.
Come early. stay late. Count the men with decorative, and ironic facial hair. Guess which women are currently enrolled in an art school. Is that guy....is she with him....was that Ed Begely Jr. in a hummer?
Oh yeah, there's art for sale too!
If you buy something, tell Robert, the LAartGuy sent you. If you drink too much free beer, get sick and embarrass yourself, tell him Jim Gray sent you. No, really.

Auction results say....

The power position has reversed. The seller, now, has the upper hand at auction. Works that have been off the market for decades, are resurfacing, and people want them. The LAMA Auction, this past weekend, revealed that buyers are out there, hungry, and willing to spend. Direct examples of this were the prices realized, for some works that I had selected to procure.
First was a sweet little Lynne Foulkes, about the size of a Polaroid picture. It's estimate, under a thousand, I thought there'd be a chance I'd go home with it. Nope, went for $4000 (add another 25% to cover the "Hammer" fee). The next deal I thought I would take was a Karl Benjamin, a nice little, 2-color composition by the iconic, hard edged, abstractionist; estimated under 3k, ttok 5k, on the hammer. The Donald Judd print went for $3000, a nice Ed Ruscha, Ballerina, went for an astounding $7500, a fairly common Francis Bacon print, went for $8500 (estimate 5k). Of the 3 Mossimo Vitali prints, the 2 beach scenes went for about $2000, but the go-cart track image took in twice that at the hammer. The hand colored Jim Dine's passed, and a print of his from the tool series garnished a thin, $750. I think the real crowd shocker was the realization of a $100,000 bid on Reg Butler's "The Unknown Political Prisoner" maquette; which had a pre-auction estimate of 20-30,000. Pictured at left

Auction time!!!!

This Sunday, my favorite auction house in LA is having an auction! LA Modern Auctions.
http://www.lamodern.com/
Check out their online catalog. I picked out a Billy Al Bengsten, Lynne Foulkes (pictured), Lorser Feitelson, Massimo Vitali, Jim Dine, and a couple of James Sienna's to bid on. For this sale, many of the furnishings of Max Palevsky's Malibu home are for sale, along with some superior Albert Frey furniture as well. The quality of LAMA's offerings have caught the eye of the NY Times:
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/25/arts/design/25antiques.html?ref=design

Sure, I wish I were in NY, going to the Armory show; but this auction, makes staying in town, just a bit more bearable. If Peter is buying Taco's again, I might even admit to having a great time.

L & M Arts, David Hammons, Liza Lou

http://www.lmgallery.com/exhibitions/david-hammons/

How can you not LOVE the audacity of an artist that positions an armoire, in front of their painting?
The tarps, the blankets? Mesmerizing, blasphemous, brilliant, and plainly, unexpected. His last show of burned, slashed, paint splashed fur coats was equally magnetic, and transfixing. If you can't go, then at least take the internet tour!
And I can't wait for my heart-throb, Liza Lou, to show at the L&M in Venice, this month. Maybe she'll let the LAartGuy, assist with the installation

Laddie John Dill

http://www.laddiejohndill.com/
Honestly, up front, Laddie and I are friends. Known each other over a decade.
I've always loved, and owned his work. I see his work in many serious collections.
Well, on the heels of a successful show at David Zwirner's gallery, just a year ago
http://www.davidzwirner.com/exhibitions/202/
The Museum of Modern Art, bought one of Laddie's pieces. I think that's great, but they were behind these folks (by folks, I mean museums), who bought Laddie's work, earlier:

Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.

Chicago Art Institute, Chicago, Illinois

Caldwell Museum, Humboldt, Tennessee

Frederick Weisman Museum of Art, Malibu, California

Greenville County Museum, South Carolina

Laguna Beach Museum of Art, Laguna Beach, California

Los Angeles County Museum of Art, L.A. , California

Louisiana Museum, Denmark

Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, California

Museum of Contemporary Art, San Paulo, Brazil

Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, California

Museum of South Texas, Corpus Christi, Texas

Norton Simon Museum, Pasadena, California

Oakland Museum, Oakland, California

Orange County Museum of Art, California

Palm Springs Desert Museum, Palm Springs, California

Phillips Collection, Washington D.C.

Phoenix Art Museum, Phoenix, Arizona

Santa Barbara Museum, Santa Barbara, California

San Diego Museum of Art, San Diego, California

Seattle Art Museum, Seattle, Washington

Smithsonian Institute, Washington D.C.

Museum of Contemporary Art, Honolulu, Hawaii

Bakersfield Museum of Art, Bakersfield, California
I only bring this up, because I wanted to point out, that when Laddie wants his wall sculptures moved, or installed; He calls the LAartGUY. No one else.
There you have it, Museum artists prefer to be handled, by me, the LAartGUY. Nice

Presidential preferential paintings

http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2009/10/07/arts/design/20091007BORROW_index.html

I believe that a person's art says more about them, than their clothes (or cars, I am in LA). I was recently educating myself on Conceptual artist Glenn Ligon, when I discovered that one of his paintings stares our president, in the face, every day. That is one hell of a compliment! So I thought, "What else does the guy look at at for inspiration. What did this guy select, from the coffers of America's collected artwork's from the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the National Gallery of Art and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. Check out the website on top, to see the NY Times article on the selection of President, & Mrs. Obama, for the White House, during their tenure

Spirit Awards

http://www.spiritawards.com/
LAartGUY got some work, installing "stuff" at the tents, in Santa Monica, for the Spirit Awards. I love the spirit awards, as they are celebrating the storytelling ability, of movies. Unlike it's bigger brother, these awards are SEEM, at least to me, to be rewarding real performance. Performance achieved through the efforts of writers, directors, grips, the actors, investors, as well as the luck of the weather, favors from friends, and the like. Not unlike a painting with a storied history, these films are the products of many peoples hard work, dedication, perseverance, stubborness, and some cold, hard cash. In other words, not "Hall Pass".

Angels & Amigo's

I was fortunate to obtain 2 new clients this week. Because of my own discretion policy, I can only say, that one of them, is one of 3 Amigo's, and the other, is one of Charlie's angels.
I'd like to point out, that I install artwork for kids school auctions, as well as wealthy, famous, celebrity clients. I think that the display of artwork, in one's place of work, and where one lives, not only enhances, but personalizes, the entire edifice. Artwork radiates positive energy through color, mark making, image sampling, entertaining, distracting, engaging us at every glance. As titillating as eye contact in a casual cafe. Art constantly engages me, and I love it

Donate your way to a fantastic collection

http://www.thefrostigcollection.org/2011/index.php

Amazing artists, donating beautiful works, all affordable (except Guy Dill)
and for such a worthy cause!

A Chris Burden sculpture? Are you kidding?

Steve Powers

http://www.firstandfifteenth.net/

Philly born, sign painter.
Intriguing, talented, and generous.
He can afford studio space in manhattan.

His sign painting skills are all over Coney Island.

What I want to know, is does he get along with Franco?

Rioting at Disney Castle!

Libyan protestors stormed the Princess' castle at Disneyland, calling for the Man to Man wedding of Hosni Mubarak, to Gender bending Mohmar Quadafi. The love between these men is apparent to the entire world, we have to support their union.
Go to Orange County, climb the castle and be heard!!!!

Minneapolis Banksy!

Before and after shots of a MN billboard. Banksy? Billboard Liberation Front? Considerate chap? Indeed!

Woody!

Woody's got a brand new website.
Dig it. I got mine (pictured).
Fo shizzle, shell, out some wizzle, and proudly show off your sweet rizzle!

Downtown LA on NY Times website!!!

I just well up with pride when my NY home state, endorses my adopted city, Los Angeles.
NY Times spent 36 hours in downtown LA, and made some great recommendations on art, food, and shopping. Endorsing this article, gets me out of the time consuming job of actually blogging about something myself, so please read and enjoy. And please excuse my Sunday laziness. I guarantee some fascinating posts this coming week!!!

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/20/travel/20hours-los-angeles.html?_r=1&src=me&ref=homepage

Banksy in LA

LAartGUY, always on the cutting edge, is bringing y'all top headline news!
You heard/read it here first. Banksy is in LA for the Oscars, or the Academy Awards, or simply to try those killer Korean Taco's: http://kogibbq.com/
Remember that little movie, "Exit through the gift shop"? Yea, well, it might be up for some award (I don't keep up with that), and Banksy is in town to do Banksy stuff. I'm checking the pubs, looking for the hooded chap, with a monkey face, downing fish and chips: if he's in Hollywood, I'd look over here: http://sunseteg.com/pignwhistle.aspx

Art Auction

One of the most interesting of auction houses in Los Angeles is the estate liquidator, Clark Cierlak,
http://www.estateauctionservice.com/
Their auction, this Saturday has everything from art, decorative objects, fur coats, and flint rifles.
It's free to attend, exciting to watch, and for $100, you can get some un-common item.
Like this Todd Gray painting that is 5 1/2' x 8'

O. Winston Link

This photographer, indeed one particular photograph by this iconic photographer, has crossed my path, 3 times, in less than 2 weeks.
This photo was presented at the CAA auditorium, in conjunction with LA Contemporary, at the One Image/ One Minute presentation. Then I installed an original print in a Beverly Hills home, last week; and just encountered the work, again, today. Wow, that's a lot of this 60 year old photograph!
This guy shot steam trains, and American life, in the 1950's, obviously cognoscente of the culture's impending demise. Though his work looks like lucky snapshots, they are anything but. Each image of his was elaborately staged, not unlike those of Gregory Crewdson, today. See and read more about this wonderful man and photographer here:
http://www.linkmuseum.org/collection.html

Drug Policy Alliance

LAartGUY installed a benefit auction for the DRUG POLICY ALLIANCE.
The event was planned by the dynamic duo of Milo & McLean (http://www.milomclean.com/)
On February 10, 2011, the Drug Policy Alliance (DPA) will be hosting its fourth art auction and
cocktail benefit, re:FORM, at Honor Fraser Gallery in Los Angeles. re:FORM represents a
growing partnership between the art world and the drug policy reform movement, bringing
together people interested in the creative arts and promoting profound social change.
The 2011 re:FORM event is the first of its kind on the West Coast, following three successful
events in New York; at Sikkema Jenkins & Co and Cheim & Read, and artists included Mark Bradford, Julie Mehretu, Andres Serrano, Fred Tomaselli, Kara Walker, and Lawrence Weiner, among many others. Ed Ruscha serves as re:FORM’s Honorary Art
http://reformartauction.com/

Mel Rubin, multi-talented artist

There are so many wonderful artists that just don't seem to garner the attention that some mediocre artists achieve. One artist that falls into this category is Mel, (http://melrubin.phanfare.com/). His charcoals are great, his 3D ceramics are amazing, and his paintings of fires are great, too. I used to see him at just about every art opening, with his dogs, obediently guarding his tiny convertible. I don't know if it's me or him that goes to less openings! Here's one of his charcoals. Just great!

Alex Prager, young female photographer from LA

One of my clients recently inquired about where to get an Alex Prager, photograph. (http://www.alexprager.com/)
Alex is currently sold through M + B fine art, in West Hollywood (http://www.mbart.com/), but prior to their representation of her work, she had done a wonderful show, Polyester, at the Robert Berman Gallery, at Bergamot Station (http://www.robertbermangallery.com/). Robert still has, for sale, the images from that show.
Alex is a young, self-taught artist, that has been flying high both before and after, her inclusion in the New Photography show at The Museum of Modern Art, in New York (http://www.moma.org/interactives/exhibitions/2010/newphotography/alex-prager/) garnishing attention, praise, and press that all artists yearn for.

self portrait, at art fair

No explanation needed...

January art fairs are over, how'd they do?

Jori Finkel, of the LA Times , put together an erudite summary of the art fair-whirlwind, that just ended. Read it here:
http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/la-et-the-battle-of-the-art-fairs-20110127,0,5906207.story
LA still does not have the goods that Miami delivers. LA does not have collectors flying in, as basel does. We are almost there, we just need to find the right venue, and timing, for the fairs.

So now that the fairs are gone, what to do?
Check out some of Ansel Adams work, that he produced to pay the bills.
Hired to do publicity stills for a private school, ansel busted out his action camera.
His contrasts are still recognizable.

LA Art Museum Sunday...FREE!!

Today, the 30th, is free admission to all LA museums.
This was not well publicized, so you heard it from me, the LAartGUY.
Opening today, for the first time to the public, is the Armand Hammer survey of contemporary artists. With the rain in town, it's worth noting that the Hammer is one of the few LA museums with indoor parking. Did I mention admission was FREE today?
That's right, the LA Contemporary art fair will cost you $18 to go through, The Hammer, LACMA, MOCA, the Geffen, all free. No excuses, go look at art; it won't hurt, I swear.
Take a look at what the Hammer is offering:
http://hammer.ucla.edu/

Opening night at Barker Hangar. LA Contemporary

The show looked good. The floor plan, and flow was better than Photo LA, but not as well presented as the LA Art show, at the convention center last week. This show lacked the commercial art, that was plentifully displayed at the convention center, but had quite a bit of experimental, or "hard to look at" art. This was evident at the David Kordansky gallery, that featured a chrome bear, on it's head, with a funnel, and bottle of wine protruding from it's anus. There was a human version (in blue) if that fit your decor, better.
My final verdict, is that the show was tasty, but not substantive.
On the social side, I spoke with Peter Loughery, owner of the L.A.M.A auction house,
http://lamodern.com/html/about_us_-_la_modern_auctions.html
he was with his lovely auctioneer, Viveca Paulin, and speaking with the wonderful interior designer, Lori Erenberg, with whom I've had the pleasure of working.
http://www.lorierenberg.com/lori_erenberg_profile.html

The third art fair this month? All right!

That's right, folks. This weekend it's the last of the January art shows.
Conveniently located at Barker Hangar, Santa Monica airport, this art fair might prove to be the best of current work out on the primary market. The previous shows had many secondary market artworks up for sale (works previously sold, and now being liquidated by collectors). This show is comprised of gallerists, not dealers, who work with the artist, to assist the viewer in understanding the direction/statement of work, the artist is presenting. Here's the web-site:
http://artlosangelesfair.com/
I, personally, am looking forward to attending the 1 image/1 minute screening at CAA in Century City. http://x-traonline.org/1IMAGE1MINUTE_2011.php.
Opening night for the fair is tonight, Thursday. Get on your clean duds, and I'll meet you at the bar!
Here's a preview of the art offerred...

And more of the art show..

I was fortunate to get tickets to the opening festivities. Hard to believe anyone shelled out $500 for a chance to nibble, nosh, and sip their way through the fair; but for a free ticket, it was a DEAL.
My girlfriend, Amy, and I got on our good threads, and perused the perusers. The best find, was the new, tea flavored Absolut Vodka. Damn that went down easily, and tasted great!
I saw a lot of foot traffic, which I hope led to some sales, The good stuff always seems to sell, the newest, latest, hottest, not so much. I'm sure to pass along what I hear, Sunday night.
Here's a pic of my installer, Paul Groner, taking care of some business.

The LA Art Show

http://www.laartshow.com/
January is the month to get your art on! The Photo LA show just closed Monday night, and we are already setting up the next art fair! This year I assisted Tim Yarger, of Beverly Hills, set up his art for display. I also collected, and installed the art for the David Lawrence Gallery, of West Hollywood. I roamed the fair, midway through installation, and was impressed by all the new work present. If you have the time this weekend, please come and see the work! Come downtown this weekend, it's not only fair-time, but Artwalk time as well!

Photo LA, Art LA

Just finished up with installing, and de-installing several booths at this years show at the Santa Monica Civic Center. I liked the integration of Contemporary art, at the former all-photo show. Here's shot of the new Kaycee Olson Gallery.
Onto the LA Art Show, in the morning

FACEBOOK SUICIDE....

I have decided to end my e-life @ F/B for a myriad of reasons.
First, and most prevalent of which, is to populate this fascinating blog.
Please stop by, again, to see what I've been up to!
