A recent M.F.A. graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, Lynn Richardson has had numerous exhibitions throughout Canada, the United States, and Taiwan. Her prestigious awards include grants from the Winnipeg Arts Council, the Manitoba Arts Council and the Cana- da Council for the Arts. Richardson’s “working landscapes” incorpo- rate motors, pipelines, oil drilling stations, railways and electrical lines, and entice viewers through their integration of sound, motion and light. The current exhibition, Inter-Glacial Free Trade agency.ca consid- ers the relationship between government and corporations by posing as a trade show marketing the latest survival gear. The futuristic scene is described as a sober and environmentally aware contemplation of the impact of global warming, oil drilling in the North and of human attempts to survive and function in such a setting. “Electronic folk artist” Diana Burgoyne holds an M.F.A. from the Uni- Lynn Richardson, Ideal Collision versity of California Los Angeles, and a B.F.A. from the University of Vic- (2007), mixed media [Art Gallery of toria.

She has taught cre- ative electronics at Emily Carr Institute since 1998. Whilst Richardson’s sculptural installations reflect darkly on technical innovation, Burgoyne’s Sound Drawings inspire playful dialogues. Relying on the audience to play active roles, the “drawings” use integrated circuits to combine recordings of gestures made by visitors and to generate personal, intimate experiences. Rather than criticizing technology, Bur- goyne’s work stimulates questions about the relationships between society, technology and environment.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ArtYard 62A Trenton Ave. Frenchtown, NJ 08825 [email protected] ​ ​ www.artyard.org Opening reception: Saturday, December 10, 2016. Time: 6:00pm- 8:30pm Final day: Sunday, March 5, 2017. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ BEDLAM AND BALANCE The inaugural group exhibition of ArtYard, featuring eight artists from four continents. Anila ​ ​ ​ ​ Rubiku, Carly Butler, Elsa Mora, Hoda Zarbaf, Hyang Cho, Magdalena Campos-Pons, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Regina José Galindo and Vessna Perunovich. Curated by Magda Gonzales-Mora. ​ ​ ​ Bedlam and Balance draws attention to the struggles of individuals to find their own ​ balance, rebuild after the earth has shifted, or forge a new path through uncertain terrain. Eight female artists examine existential and autobiographical elements, drawing from disparate origins in Albania, Canada, Cuba, Iran, Korea, Guatemala and Serbia. In the wake of a surreal election and in an era when the diasporas of far flung continents are both accessible and remote, Bedlam and Balance offers visions of fear and displacement, refuge and restoration. The drawings, installations, objects, poems, sculptures and videos in this exhibition weave together personal and collective narratives that revisit the past, scavenge the present and suggest shrewd, hopeful and vulnerable approaches to the road ahead. ARTISTS Anila Rubiku is an Albanian-born Italian artist who studied at the Tirana Academy of Arts ​ (1994) and did her postgraduate work in Milan at the Brera Academy (2000). At present she works between Milan, Tirana and Toronto. Rubiku’s work is intimately connected to social and political issues. She creates drawings and sophisticated installations that involve contemporary approaches to traditional crafts such as embroidery. Rubiku is drawn to examining and representing the accretion of emotionally complex layers that comprise our identities as social creatures.

  • French Impressionism and the Northwest
    Contact: Hillary Ryan, 253.272.4258 ext 3051 [email protected] Tacoma Art Museum presents New Exhibition Monet, Renoir, Degas, and Their Circle: French Impressionism and the Northwest IMAGES AVAILABLE August 2, 2019 (Tacoma, WA)— Opening on September 28, Tacoma Art Museum will present Monet, Renoir, Degas, and Their Circle: French Impressionism and the Northwest, a new exhibition that examines how the work of French Impressionists and their immediate precursors made their way into Northwest public and private collections. It also will include selected paintings by American and Northwest artists to illustrate the spread of Impressionism across the country. “The purpose of this exhibition is deeply connected to the same passion that drove the French Impressionists, to transform the way we see,” said David F. Setford, TAM’s Executive Director and curator of this exhibition. “It does this in two ways. First, it puts rarely seen works from TAM’s European art collection into context and allows for an expanded visitor learning opportunity. In addition, it is also the first time that these Impressionist works from museums and private collections in the Northwest have been seen together. It will provide a lasting resource about French Impressionism and its historical impact for curators and collectors in our region and beyond.” Monet, Renoir, Degas, and Their Circle: French Impressionism and the Northwest was organized and curated by the Tacoma Art Museum, and includes approximately fifty (50) works of art. The exhibition is accompanied by a small publication including essays by Setford and TAM curator Margaret Bullock, as well as an online listing of French Impressionist works currently in Northwest public collections.

Interestingly, though the reports and articles are well-crafted and researched, many are penned by writers who haven’t set foot at senior management level, or as participants with skin in the game. The narrative is often spun from someone relating what they heard that someone else thought about what someone else knew from a sure source. It makes for good fiction and the sheer volume of it drowns out the real questions and astute backstage glimpses. So, we keep reading the most incredible stories about the global reach, financial muscle and many intrigues of a world that evolved over a few decades from an insular, relationship-based and largely unregulated cultural domain, to a fast-moving global industry. This content has been widely distributed and shapes our understanding and beliefs about the art market.

  • Constructing Hedonic Art Price Indexes for the Polish Painting Market
    E AESTIMATIO, THE IEB INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FINANCE , 2015. : 110-133 DOI:10.5605/IEB.10.5 L 10 C © 2015 AESTIMATIO , THE IEB INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FINANCE I T R A H C R Constructing hedonic art price A E S E indexes for the Polish painting market. R Using direct and indirect approaches Witkowska, Dorota Kompa, Krzysztof ̈ RECEIVED : 3 AUGUST 2014 ̈ ACCEPTED : 17 NOVEMBER 2014 Abstract Artworks can be considered either as an aesthetic attraction or as an investment opportunity. Investing in art has been treated as an alternative investment asset used to diversify the portfolio or as collateral, especially during times of uncertainty in financial markets. It should, however, be noted that certain specific features of artworks mean that investment in art cannot be compared to investment in conventional assets. In order to decide whether art is a good investment, it is necessary to estimate the expected returns that might be generated by such an investment. This requires the development of an art price index. The aim of this paper is to examine artworks as investment assets and to construct a price index of paintings made up of 17 Polish artists whose artworks were most often traded at auctions held in Poland between 2007 and 2013. In our research, we employ data on 1710 objects and apply the hedonic index methodology to estimate returns from the paintings market. Keywords: Art market, Hedonic price index, Investment, Alternative investment asset, Financial markets. JEL classification: Z11, C43, C51, G11 Witkowska, D.

  • Audubon/RYAN!
    Contact: Hillary Ryan, 253.272.4258 ext 3051 [email protected] Tacoma Art Museum presents New Exhibition The Naturalist & The Trickster: Audubon/RYAN! IMAGES AVAILABLE January 7, 2020 (Tacoma, WA)— On February 1, 2020, Tacoma Art Museum will open The Naturalist & The Trickster: Audubon/RYAN!. Although centuries apart, artists John James Audubon and RYAN! Feddersen draw inspiration from animals and the natural world to create compelling work that urges us to better understand the human impact on the environment. As 2020 marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, TAM presents this exhibition which explores themes of animals, environmentalism, and conservation. “Juxtaposing these two artists will present a very immersive and thought-provoking experience regarding perceptions of the natural world and relationships between humans and the environment,” said Faith Brower, TAM’s Haub Curator of Western American Art. “During Audubon’s life his prints were one of the ways that scientific information from the American West could be shared and studied. His respect and concern for the natural world clearly marks him as one of the forefathers of the modern conservation and environmental movements,” noted John James Audubon (1785–1851) Brower.

Feddersen, an enrolled member of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation and a contemporary mixed media artist, explores the character of Coyote, the trickster, as a lens to examine current events. Feddersen’s 75-foot mural encourages collaborative drawing with crayons cast in the shape of coyote bones which further links the community to Coyote’s story.

  • Forgotten Stories Northwest Public Art of the 1930S
    Contact: Hillary Ryan, 253.272.4258 ext 3051 [email protected] Tacoma Art Museum presents New Exhibition Forgotten Stories: Northwest Public Art of the 1930s IMAGES AVAILABLE November 15, 2019 (Tacoma, WA)— Opening on February 22, 2020, Tacoma Art Museum will present Forgotten Stories: Northwest Public Art of the 1930s. During the economic hard times of the 1930s, U.S. government art projects under the WPA and other agencies created a wealth of public art and supported art communities across the country. In the Northwest hundreds of artists were employed and thousands of artworks created but their stories are almost unknown. The exhibition will offer an extensive overview of the bounty and variety of work created in our region and bring forgotten treasures back to view. “The extent of the federal art projects in the Northwest is surprising,” said Margaret Bullock, TAM’s interim Chief Curator and Curator of Collections and Special Exhibitions. “We’ve long thought that the impact of the work was limited but, research has now shown that the projects in the Northwest were widespread and highly productive employing over 600 artists resulting in thousands of artworks and offering art making opportunities to hundreds of thousands of Northwesterners.” Virginia Darcé (born Portland, Oregon, 1910; died Los Angeles, TAM’s exhibition brings together a California, 1985) The Market, 1938 wide variety of the artworks Tempera on board created in Idaho, Montana, 22 ½ x 30 ½ inches Portland Art Museum, Portland, Oregon, Courtesy of the Fine Arts Oregon, and Washington.
