  • Mary Boone's Business Partner Is Suing the Jailed Dealer Over $15
    AiA News-Service Art and Law Mary Boone’s Business Partner Is Suing the Jailed Dealer Over $15 Million in Art That She Allegedly Took From the Gallery for Herself The lawsuit alleges that Boone sold gallery-owned artworks and pocketed the money. Sarah Cascone, February 26, 2020 Mary Boone in 2013. Photo by Neil Rasmus, courtesy of BFA. The legal woes continue for imprisoned art dealer Mary Boone. A gallery partner and former employee, James Oliver, has filed a lawsuit against Boone seeking $44,325 in unpaid wages and to protect his 10 percent equity share in the gallery, accusing the dealer of transferring millions in gallery funds to her personal bank account. In 2019, Boone pleaded guilty to filing false tax returns. She was subsequently sentenced to 30 months in jail, despite appeals for leniency from many prominent members of the art world. As a result, Boone closed the gallery she had run since 1977. Oliver, who first began working for Boone in 1995, was among those who spoke up in Boone’s defense. He praised his boss, noting that Boone had “successfully trained dozens of aspiring gallerists who have gone on to very successful careers as gallery owners themselves or directors of other major galleries. Along the way she has given endless hours of her time instilling the positive attitude and the exacting work ethic that her employees have needed to succeed in a very difficult business.” But their relationship has soured since Oliver resigned in March 2019. “Mr. Oliver attempted on numerous occasions to amicably resolve this dispute before filing a complaint,” wrote his attorney, Brett Gallaway, in an email to Artnet News.

  • Kenny Schachter on the Debut of Vito Schnabel's Gallery in St. Moritz
    Art World Kenny Schachter on the Debut of Vito Schnabel's Gallery in St. Moritz Kenny Schachter, Saturday, January 2, 2016 Image: Courtesy of Kenny Schachter At 1,822 meters in altitude, St. Moritz, in the Swiss Engadine Valley, is among the highest peaks in the Alps and a sporting mecca, having hosted the Winter Olympic Games in 1928 and 1948, one of only three cities to do so twice (besides Innsbruck, Austria and Lake Placid, New York). The physical effects of high elevation include faster breathing, increased heart rate, and lower mortality rates but a higher number of suicides; it's as though you are charging through time at an accelerated pace, in addition to bombing down the mountain in the gear of your choice. Aside from the altitude and skiing, etc., you'll need all the boost you can muster as there are more galleries per square mile than any resort on the planet. Yippee. With the premiere of Vito Schnabel's (b. 1986) space—it opened December 28 with Urs Fischer's (b. 1966) Bruno & Yoyo and Sterling Ruby's (b. 1972) Stoves—occupying the former digs of his godfather, Bruno Bischofberger (b. 1940), there's now a new kid (literally) in town. Even more so than in the past, St. Moritz has been Basel-ized by the art lifestyle and I am thrilled for my vocation and avocation. After 25 years of visiting my in-laws here, who are all annoyingly good skiers, I'm grateful it's congealed into an art hub. Having recently hung up my snowboard (I was always the hesitant skier), I can't complain too much about the shocking effects of global warming, which have reduced the usually-snowy slopes to a brown parched Arizona landscape.

No, a typewriter. No, a toaster. No, a piece of pie.” These words were exclaimed by a visitor to Claes Oldenburg's 1961 East Village storefront, trying to figure out what product she had just been examining.2 As the viewer encountered a series of handmade objects representing mass-produced goods, she found herself in a storefront oddly mimicking a retail space, creating an ambiguous space where common distinctions between “art” and “commerce” had seemingly collapsed.

Remarkably, however, little has been said of the role discourse might play in the construction of artistic reputation. An obstacle to addressing this research gap is that discourse analytic approaches have been developed to analyse evaluation and the construction of legitimacy but not the construction of reputation.

  • Thaddaeus Ropac to Open in Seoul, South Korea
    Thaddaeus Ropac to open in Seoul, South Korea We are delighted to announce that we will open a new gallery location in Seoul, South Korea, with our inaugural exhibition taking place in early Autumn 2021. Our inaugural exhibition will be announced in due course. Thaddaeus Ropac’s new gallery will be located in Seoul’s Hannam-dong district, occupying the first floor of an outstanding architectural landmark: the Fort Hill building. Awarded the Korean National Architecture Award 2011 and Seoul Architecture Award 2011, it was designed by SAI architects, led by the celebrated architect Juhwan Park. The bespoke gallery interior will be designed by acclaimed interior designer Teo Yang Studio to create a unique setting for the presentation and experience of exhibitions by the gallery’s artists. It’s with tremendous excitement that we are establishing the gallery in Seoul and a privilege to participate in and contribute to a city that has such strong and long-established foundations for artistic interchange. Our personal ties to South Korea and with the city of Seoul have grown significantly and it has been an honour to work with major Korean institutions on numerous projects over the years. Having worked with the artist Lee Bul since 2007 and staged a memorable show of Lee Ufan’s work in Paris in 2009, as well as collaborating with the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Korea for a Georg Baselitz exhibition in 2007, we look forward to deepening these relationships. The rich cultural history that is integral to the city is exemplified by the historic art academies, the incredible institutional infrastructure and the tradition of nurturing each generation’s artists, and even over the short period of the past decade we’ve witnessed further exciting evolutions.

  • Robert Mapplethorpe
    GALERIE THADDAEUS ROPAC ROBERT MAPPLETHORPE ROBERT MAPPLETHORPE CURATED BY HEDI SLIMANE PARIS DEBELLEYME 13 Thursday - 19 Saturday The Thaddaeus Ropac Gallery is pleased to present an important exhibition of works by American photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. Hedi Slimane, the artistic director of Dior Homme, also a photographer in his own right, will curate the show. The concept of the show is to invite a contemporary artist to rediscover a major body of work such as Mapplethorpe's, by reframing the whole, based on his own sensibilities and tastes thus helping us to view the renowned works in a new light. This show follows in the footsteps of a series of exhibits. Previous shows include- « Robert Mapplethorpe: Eye to Eye » organized in 2003 by the American artist Cindy Sherman in New York, as well as the exhibit « Robert Mapplethorpe curated by David Hockney » which took place in London in early 2005. Both Slimane and Mapplethorpe share a passion for photography, and both, by different means, each in his own generation, have defined the mood and aesthetic of the artistic community to which they belong. Hedi Slimane has been given free reign to explore themes that inspire him in Mapplethorpe's work. Last May, in conjunction with the release of his book of photographs of rocks bands, Slimane also edited the layout for the daily paper Libération. We can expect to find, in his selection of works for the show, images that reflect themes in both he and Mapplethorpe's lives where their sensibilities, moods and observations converge. By offering this face-to-face between two creative forces, this event allows us to revisit the work in an intimate, rather than critical manner.
