Four Seasons Hotel Atlanta Welcomes Art Exhibition Atlanta Artists Will Be Featured Throughout Hotel on a Quarterly Rotation Four Seasons Hotel Atlanta Welcomes Art Exhibition Atlanta artists will be featured throughout Hotel on a quarterly rotation November 22, 2016, Atlanta, U.S.A Four Seasons Hotel Atlanta, the city's only AAA Five-Diamond, Forbes Five-Star hotel, recently launched an art exhibition featuring Atlanta artists Kim Chesney, Eric Mack, Ronald Sullivan and Andrea Baetti. The artwork is on display in the Hotel’s public spaces, including Savannah Hall and Park 75 restaurant, both located on the Hotel's third floor. "I'm thrilled about our art exhibition initiative," General Manager Yvette Thomas-Henry said. "Each piece will bring a new aesthetic to the Hotel that will complement our artful location in Midtown. We're expecting an incredible array of work for our guests to enjoy and or purchase." As part of the program, Four Seasons hosts an art stroll event at the beginning of each quarterly rotation. These events welcome the public to mingle with the featured artists while experiencing their work throughout the Hotel. After studying art around the world, Kim Chesney began showing her work in 2008. She has since gained mass recognition and her work hangs in a variety of private collections around the globe. She has been featured on several morning talk shows and in local publications. Additionally, three of her oil paintings are featured in 20th Century Fox's new film Keeping Up with the Joneses, starring Jon Hamm and Zach Galifianakis. Eric Mack's success has followed him since his graduation from Atlanta College of Art in 1998, most notably when the High Museum added his piece SRFC-91 to its permanent collection in 2014. His work has 1 also been exhibited in Atlanta City Hall, Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and Georgia Power. His artistic inspiration is often credited to his four years abroad in Munich, Germany, where he was awarded a studio from the City of Munich's Bureau of Cultural Affairs. Ronald Sullivan's culture and spirit is deeply rooted in his upbringing in Guyana and England. After migrating to the US, he began experimenting with sculpting and found it to be a deeply fascinating and fulfilling activity. His work was displayed during Atlanta Artist Center's five-week Multi-Artist/Media Exhibit at the Buckhead Library. He was also twice invited to participate in the annual Liguanea Art Festival in Jamaica. More recently, his sculptures have appeared at the 2016 Roswell Roots Festival and at Avalon in Alpharetta. After moving to the United States to be an architect, Andrea Baetti began pursuing studies in the visual arts. She worked as a core artist with Louis Delsarte on the 25 panels of the Martin Luther King, Jr. mural Dreams, Visions and Change, which was inaugurated at the Martin Luther King Center in 2010. Baetti's work is inspired by her passion for architecture, nature, travelling and her love for family and friends. Each art rotation is curated by Camille Sparkman of Articurate, an art-share program that brings carefully chosen fine art to homes, businesses or events in quarterly rotations. All art displayed at Four Seasons Hotel Atlanta is available for purchase. For more information, call 404 881 9898.

  • Conceptualizing African-American Art: the Market, Academic Discourse and Public Reception
    CONCEPTUALIZING AFRICAN-AMERICAN ART: THE MARKET, ACADEMIC DISCOURSE AND PUBLIC RECEPTION Shawnya L. Harris A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Art Chapel Hill 2012 Approved by: Lyneise E. Williams John P. Bowles Jan Hannig Carol Magee Hans Van Miegroet © 2012 Shawnya L. Harris ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT SHAWNYA L. HARRIS: Conceptualizing African-American Art: The Market, Academic Discourse and Public Reception (Under the direction of Dr. Lyneise E. Williams) The concept of an ‘African-American art market’ presents a new field of scholarly inquiry. However, objects labeled and fashioned as ‘African American art’ allude to a broader visual culture composed of objects, buyers, sellers and critics than previously acknowledged in scholarly literature. This dissertation will provide a nuanced picture of how an ‘African-American art market’ has been conceptualized and how this understanding reflects a complex web of tensions and relationships between objects, consumers, sellers and even scholars and critics of the work. Since the current literature on the field of African- American art provides only scant attention to the consumption of African-American art and virtually nothing about its place in the art market, this study will demonstrate how art historians could critically interpret African-American art in relation to market dynamics through an investigation of art related publications, oral interviews, public display venues. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The undertaking of writing a dissertation is a complex one in concept, process and completion, yet not without the involvement of several players, who may or may not know the power of their influence on this work and hopefully more work to come.

  • The Year in Black Art 2018
    Culture Type: The Year in Black Art 2018 culturetype.com/2019/01/15/culture-type-the-year-in-black-art-2018/ Victoria L. Valentine IN MANY WAYS, 2018 was a watershed year for black artists. Overdue recognition of art by African American artists and black artists from throughout the world, continued to grow among collectors, curators, critics, scholars, and gallery owners. There were many indicators of the ever-expanding institutional and market interest. European attention on African American artists rose. In the United States, major museums dedicated prime gallery space to huge exhibitions. Retrospectives of Charles White (1918-1979), Adrian Piper, and Howardena Pindell traveled the country in 2018. Presenting stunning self portraits by South African photographer Zanele Muholi, “Somnyama Ngonyama, Hail the Dark Lioness” made its U.S. debut at the Spelman College Museum of Fine Art, where an earlier exhibition, “Deborah Roberts: The Evolution of Mimi,” raised the profile of Roberts, whose figurative collages explore race, beauty, girlhood, vulnerability and power. Mid-career, Roberts came into her own in 2018. As did Simone Leigh. Known for her ceramic works, Leigh won the Guggenheim’s $100,000 Hugo Boss Prize. She was the first black artist to do so. Hamilton, Canada-born Kapwani Kiwanga was also the first black artist to win the National Gallery of Canada’s Sobey Art Award, which includes 100,000 Canadian dollars. Then, Titus Kaphar is named a MacArthur “genius” fellow, an honor that includes a $625,000 grant. Several artists joined the rosters of so-called mega galleries in 2018, including Amy Sherald and Charles Gaines at Hauser & Wirth, Njideka Akunyili Crosby and the estate of Roy DeCarava at David Zwirner, and Theaster Gates at Gagosian.

ATLANTA – January 14, 2010 – Studioplex, the live/work community in Atlantaʼs historic Old Fourth Ward (www.Studioplexlofts.com), is pleased to congratulate its Artist-in- Residence Louise Delsarte whose recently completed mural will be dedicated on Sunday, January 17 at 2 p.m. The dedication will be held at the site of the mural which is located at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Natatorium (back wall), 450 Auburn Avenue.

Delsarte stated that “this is the most incredible honor that I have been given since the beginning of my career. I want this mural…to reflect the magnitude of Dr. Kingʼs sacrifices and his work as a Civil Rights Leader.” A native of Brooklyn, NY, Delsarte has been creating murals since 1967.
