Town & Country April, 2011 the Culture: Art

Town & Country April, 2011 The Culture: Art Shows of the Season Rachel Wolf Who'll claim contemporary art supremacy this month: L.A. or New York? California's newest art impresario, Los Angeles's Museum of Contemporary Art director Jeffrey Deitch, is finally making waves in his new home. Along with a team of graffiti gurus, he'll launch the country's first full-scale museum survey of street art. "ART IN THE STREETS" (April 17-Aug. 8 at the Geffen Contemporary) traces the movement from its roots-with works by Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat to contemporary practitioners like Banksy and Shepard Fairey. It's already deliciously controversial: In December, Deitch was accused of censorship when he painted over a MoCA-commissioned mural by the street artist Blu meant to promote the April exhibition. (Deitch thought residents would be offended by the antiwar work, which depicted coffins shrouded in $1 bills.) And contentiousness won't be in short supply on the East Coast either, thanks to KARA WALKER, the New York artist best known for her raunchy silhouettes and stop-motion animations about race and womanhood. On April 23, Walker mounts her largest exhibition of new work since 2008, a two-venue show at Chelsea's Sikkema Jenkins gallery and Lehmann Maupin's Lower East Side locale (through June 4). Of particular interest is a new video that builds on the scenic work Walker did for Lincoln Center's recent production On the Levee, a drama about the worst river flood, pre-Katrina, in U.S. history. .

You Don't Immediately Think of Jeffrey Deitch and Larry Gagosian As
Pogrebin, Robin. Jeffrey Deitch and Larry Gagosian to Collaborate in Miami, The New York Times, October 15, 2015. You don’t immediately think of Jeffrey Deitch and Larry Gagosian as collaborators. Indeed, the two were historically competitors, dealers who represented some of the same artists at different points in their careers. But these art world heavyweights — both protégés of the dealer Leo Castelli — have known each other for years and de- cided for the first time to collaborate. The result is an ambitious exhibition on figurative painting and sculpture in Miami in December. “Larry and I have wanted to do a project together for some time,” Mr. Deitch said. “Everything came together.” The show, “Unrealism,” opens on Dec. 1 in a 20,000-square-foot space in the Moore Building in the Miami Design District and will remain through the week of Art Basel Miami Beach (Dec. 3 through 6). Craig Robins, the developer who spear- headed the district, offered Mr. Gagosian the space, and Mr. Gagosian said he thought of Mr. Deitch. “He’s one of the most imaginative, innovative curators out there,” he said. “My gallery represents a lot of figurative artists. I think it’s a very important part of what’s going on now.” Mr. Deitch had long wanted to explore the subject in a show, but said he never had the chance as the director of the Mu- seum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. When he returned to New York, he was struck by the work of emerging figurative painters — many of them women — like Ella Kruglyanskaya, Jamian Juliano-Villani and Tala Madani.

The Florine Stettheimer Collapsed Time Salon
The Florine Stettheimer Collapsed Time Salon Presented at The Armory Show, New York, March 2 -5, 2017 The Florine Stettheimer Collapsed Time Salon is presented in homage to the artist and saloniste Florine Stettheimer (1871-1944), whose remarkable life and work has influenced many artists. The Salon will be presented as a special project at The Armory Show, New York, from March 2 – 6, 2017. The first Florine Stettheimer Collapsed Time Salon was staged at the Gramercy Hotel Art Fair in 1995 in the hotel’s penthouse. The space was decorated with cellophane curtains, Doric columns, and white furniture with gold trim to evoke the atmosphere of the Stettheimer salon in her Beaux Arts Building studio. Artists whose work channeled Stettheimer, including Jane Kaplowitz, Elizabeth Peyton, and Jeff Koons were invited to display their work. There was a program of salon talks led by Francis Naumann. We were fortunate to be able to borrow some extraordinary paintings by Florine Stettheimer herself from Columbia University and private collections. Later that year, a definitive Stettheimer retrospective was presented at the Whitney Museum, curated by Elisa- beth Sussman and Barbara J. Bloemink. Since then there has been an increasing awareness of Stettheimer’s work and a deepening engagement with her legacy by contemporary artists. The Armory Show, the successor to the Gramercy Park Hotel Art Fair, asked me to present an updated version of The Florine Stettheimer Collapsed Time Sale for their March 2017 show. Some great artists have emerged since 1995 whose work connects with Florine Stettheimer’s distinctive artistic vision. The original participants in the project and some of the most exciting artists of the new generation have been invited to display their work in this year’s salon.

Earlier This Month, the 31-Year-Old Art Dealer Kathy Grayson Was in Her Gallery, the Hole, Speaking Over a Saw Buzzing in the Background
Earlier this month, the 31-year-old art dealer Kathy Grayson was in her gallery, the Hole, speaking over a saw buzzing in the background. She was awaiting the arrival of 100 bags of pea gravel, 2,500 square feet of synthetic turf, four types of pond grasses, six cherry blossom trees, three willow trees, five dozen water lilies, dozens of tulips and stalks of bamboo, and a Japanese bridge to stretch over a pond. At the behest of the artists Kembra Pfahler and E.V. Day, she was transforming the Hole, for a month, into a recreation of Claude Monet’s garden at Giverny, where the painter spent the final years of his life and painted his famous Water Lilies. Once the garden was complete, she would hang in it 12 photographs Ms. Day took, on an artist residency at Giverny, of Ms. Pfahler posing in the gardens in her role as lead singer of glam- punk band the Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black: naked, save for thigh-high boots, head-to-toe body paint and a black wig teased into a two-foot-high rat’s nest. Most gallerists would be overwhelmed with the logistics of such an undertaking, but Ms. Grayson seemed unfazed. Which is not surprising, since she’s a graduate of the school of Jeffrey Deitch, and is widely considered to be the dealer’s protégé. During her eight years at his now-defunct downtown gallery and creative incubator Deitch Projects, she was around for large- scale fantasy-land installations like “The Garden Party,” a group show following the theme of the erotic garden, familiar from paintings by Giorgione and Manet.
