As you can imagine, any creative project has its challenges and setbacks. I have been fortunate to meet an incredible team of writers, curators, and editors along with the incredible art community that keeps this publication going year after year. Because of your support, we have celebrated our two-year anniversary and are excited for things ahead. Even in this digital age, there is something so special about exploring new art through print. Our passion lies in helping our readers and collectors discover new talent, or get to know familiar names in the art world on a more intimate level. From an artist's perspective, there is nothing more magical than seeing your own work on glossy pages of a quality magazine. Reflecting on the past two years, we are proud to serve a diverse and global community of artists and we're so thankful to celebrate together with a few of you at Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in October. We hope to continue engaging with you in person at curated events and through our new platform, the Art & Cocktails Podcast. Before you dive in to this juicy edition and explore what's happening in Art Miami and the emerging contemporary art scene this year, I want to encourage you to start that project you keep thinking about, whether it's a new ambitious body of work or creative business venture like a zine or gallery space. If it's been on your mind for a few months or years and you just haven't pulled the trigger, start researching how you can make it happen. It's hard work, time consuming, and will make you crazy at times, but I promise you it's worth it. You will build an entire tribe, discover your strengths, and potentially help change the course of the art world. Thank you for being a part of our thriving art community. Cheers! Ekaterina 7 Create! Magazine ART MIAMI FAIRS HIGHLIGHT EXHIBITORS 2018 WWW.ARTMIAMI.COM In its 29th edition, Art Miami maintains a preeminent position in America's modern and contemporary art fair market and is globally recognized as a primary destination for the acquisition of the most important works from the 20th and 21st centuries. 8 LANDAU CONTEMPORARY AT GALERIE DOMINION INTERVIEW WITH TIM DUNN & SARA LANDAU WWW.GALERIEDOMINION.CA ANTONI CLAVÉ DIPTYQUE ET DEMI II Oil and collage on canvas 209 x 350 cm. / 82¼ x 137¾ in. 1994 Landau Contemporary at Galerie Dominion, Montreal, Canada 10 BRIEFLY TELL US ABOUT YOUR GALLERY AND WHAT TYPE OF ART YOU SPECIALIZE IN. Landau Contemporary acquired the Dominion Gallery, Canada's oldest and most prestigious private art establishment in October 2005. The gallery offers a stunning showcase for modern masters alongside an exciting ensemble of contemporary international artists including Yves Zurstrassen, Christoph Kiefhaber, Kwang-Young Chun and Tony Scherman. Landau Contemporary is also the exclusive North American dealer for the Austrian master, architect and artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser. "Landau Fine Art was already well established as one of the world's leading galleries specializing in early 20th century international art," explains Canadian art dealer Robert Landau. "Dominion represented a unique opportunity to offer the works of living artists under the umbrella of their more famous 20th century predecessors.” The partnership between Landau Contemporary at Galerie Dominion and Landau Fine Art guarantees a wealth of choice for art lovers and collectors to experience, in an extensive exhibition space exceeding 20,000 square feet in a stunning Victorian landmark on Sherbrooke Street West. WHAT CAN VISITORS EXPECT FROM YOUR BOOTH THIS YEAR AND WHAT SPECIFIC WORKS SHOULD THEY PAY ATTENTION TO? History will come alive at Landau Contemporary at Art Miami, where we will be featuring an exceptional collection of paintings and sculptures from the Estate of Antoni Clavé, which will be presented alongside Britain’s most celebrated modern sculptor, Henry Moore, among others. Both of these extraordinary exhibitions will include works that span over 40 years of the Artist’s careers. These are only two of the highlights that will be on exhibit exclusively at Art Miami this December, where Landau Contemporary will feature over 100 artworks in 2,000 square feet of exhibition space. WHAT TIPS WOULD YOU SHARE WITH NEW ART COLLECTORS OR FAIR VISITORS? We encourage collectors to take the time to really look and interact with the works on display. Great artworks repay the attention they are given, and the more you look the more you have an opportunity to see. Experiencing and engaging with art is a slow burning process, so don’t try to absorb everything in one visit. 11 Create! Magazine OSBORNE SAMUEL GALLERY INTERVIEW WITH PETER OSBORNE WWW.OSBORNESAMUEL.COM BRIEFLY TELL US ABOUT YOUR GALLERY AND WHAT TYPE OF ART YOU SPECIALIZE IN. High quality British and American art including Moore, Chadwick Sam Francis, Jim Dine. WHAT CAN VISITORS EXPECT FROM YOUR BOOTH THIS YEAR AND WHAT SPECIFIC WORKS SHOULD THEY PAY ATTENTION TO? Rare unique works by Chadwick not seen before, a remarkable Sam Francis painting, new works by Jim Dine. WHAT TIPS WOULD YOU SHARE WITH NEW ART COLLECTORS OR FAIR VISITORS? Do not try and do too much, spend more time at fewer locations. Come early. 12 GALERIE TERMINUS GMBH INTERVIEW WITH WILHELM J. GRUSDAT WWW.GALERIE-TERMINUS.DE SIGMAR POLKE “Untitled,” Oil on canvas, 59.1 x 70.9 inches. 2007 14 BRIEFLY TELL US ABOUT YOUR GALLERY AND WHAT TYPE OF ART YOU SPECIALIZE IN. Art is not only our business, but it is also our passion. Specifically, we see our role as the mediator between collectors and artists. A very special vision is necessary to recognize a work of art as a potential masterpiece and as a valid manifestation of form and ideas. Only when all of these come together, can an artwork truly radiate that very special aura to which a viewer immediately feels drawn. An exceptional work of art has much more to offer than that which meets the eye. It is this quality to which the Galerie Terminus aspires. WHAT CAN VISITORS EXPECT FROM YOUR BOOTH THIS YEAR AND WHAT SPECIFIC WORKS SHOULD THEY PAY ATTENTION TO? At this year’s Art Miami we present the highlights of our current program and exciting new additions consisting of famous artists as well as young talents. We bring these two perspectives into context with each other at the fair, both as contrast and as correspondents. On the one side, we show big names and great American Pop-Artists such as John Chamberlain, Roy Lichtenstein, Mel Ramos, Robert Rauschenberg, James Rosenquist, Frank Stella, Andy Warhol, and Tom Wesselmann. On the other side, we bring young contemporary artists into focus with the Germans Christian Awe, Jan Davidoff, and Tatjana Tartakovska. We are very proud to also be able to include exciting new works from our current program by Georg Baselitz, Sigmar Polke Gerhard Richter, and Günther Uecker. To round things up, it is our very special pleasure to exclusively present a number of early works by Georg Baselitz as well as an exquisitely typical work by Sigmar Polke. WHAT TIPS WOULD YOU SHARE WITH NEW ART COLLECTORS OR FAIR VISITORS? Our presentation boils down to the bottom line which we wish to present to our fair visitors and all new art collectors: Always be on the lookout for works by artists with an international standing who are able to touch your heart and mind.

  • JAMES FUENTES KIKUO SAITO March 3–April 3, 2021 James
    JAMES FUENTES 55 Delancey Street New York, NY 10002 (212) 577-1201 [email protected] KIKUO SAITO March 3–April 3, 2021 James Fuentes is pleased to present works by KIKUO SAITO. Kikuo Saito (1939–2016) was born in Tokyo and moved to New York City in 1966 at the age of 26, curious about the city’s burgeoning artistic movements. Saito had began painting a decade prior, building a steady understanding of traditional Japanese arts alongside contemporary movements such as the Gutai Group, while working for three years in the studio of established traditional painter Sensei Itoh. Landing in San Francisco, Saito traveled to New York by bus, visiting the country’s museums and witnessing its variable and remarkable landscape, confronted by the city’s own topography of signs upon arrival. During his first decade in New York, Saito worked between painting and theater. In many senses, he considered much of life as a performance. For his wordless theater pieces, Saito incorporated ephemeral, nontraditional materials like water and earth with elements of music, movement, and light, drawing inspiration in part from the performance traditions of Kabuki, Noh, and Butoh. These were collaborative works, in which Saito directed dancers and actors while creating stage costumes, sculptural elements, and using his abstract paintings as backdrops. Saito’s theater was well-received and in turn led to collaborations (and further travel) with Robert Wilson, Jerome Robbins, Eva Maier, and Peter Brook. In 1979 he decided to devote his attention entirely to painting, preferring the serene isolation of the studio, where he could physically manipulate paint across ground, over the complex, multi-disciplinary approach behind his theater pieces.

  • 2020-2021 Newsletter Department of Art History the Graduate Center, Cuny
    2020-2021 NEWSLETTER DEPARTMENT OF ART HISTORY THE GRADUATE CENTER, CUNY 1 LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE OFFICER Dear GC Art History Community, The 2020-21 academic year has been, well, challenging for all of us at the GC, as I imagine it has for you. The building—boarded up in November for the elections—is still largely off-limits to students and faculty; the library is closed; classes and meetings have been almost exclusively virtual; and beyond the GC, many of us have lost friends, family, or jobs due to the pandemic and its repercussions. Through it all, we have struggled to keep our community together and to support one another. I have been extraordinarily impressed by how well students, faculty, and staff in the program have coped, given the circumstances, and am I hopeful for the future. This spring, we will hold our rst in-person events—an end-of-year party and a graduation ceremony for 2020 and 2021 Ph.D.s, both in Central Park—and look forward to a better, less remote fall. I myself am particularly looking forward to fall, as I am stepping down as EO and taking a sabbatical. I am grateful to all of you for your help, advice, and patience over the years, and hope you will join me in welcoming my successor, Professor Jennifer Ball. Before getting too excited about the future, though, a few notes on the past year. In fall 2020, we welcomed a brave, tough cohort of ten students into the Ph.D. Program. They have forged tight bonds through coursework and a group chat (not sure if that's the right terminology; anyway, it's something they do on their phones).

Courtesy of La MaMa Archives. 3 Kikuo Saito: TO PAINT WITH DRAWING There is a polarity in the career of Kikuo Saito, a creative tension between two very different endeavors—painting and the theater. At one pole is the studio, a private place where the artist reigns supreme, making works that will convey a visual experience in a lasting way. At the opposite pole is a public space in which various kinds of artists collaborate to present a multimedia event that unfolds in real time and ultimately will reside only in memory. Saito, a Japanese-born American artist, is now known reflection on them yields important insights into how Saito primarily as an abstract painter, but at several times in felt a continuity between the two poles of his artistic life. his life he devoted serious effort to experimental theater, as production designer, writer, and director. Of course, When Saito arrived in the U.S. in 1966 at the age of 27, he he brought his well-honed visual skills to the stage, but brought with him a solid grounding in both modern Western conversely, he also brought something of the theater to his and traditional Japanese art.

This title can be found on page 18 of this catalog. Catalog layout by Dan Nolte, based on an original design by Rama Crouch-Wong Pinocchio By Winshluss This award-winning graphic novel re-imagines Pinocchio as a wordless noir fairy tale, both comic and tragic. In this dark rendition, a greedy Geppetto builds Pinocchio as a metallic weapon of war, with Jiminy Cockroach a homeless squatter living inside Pinocchio’s skull. Exquisite drawings bring to life a rich tale of greedy fools, lust, sadness, redemption, and hope. As the stories intertwine, they offer subtle political critiques and send-ups of popular culture through characters such as the seven sleazy dwarves. Teamed with colorist Cizo, Winshluss creates an epic adventure through a lush world. The artwork is pen & ink + watercolor (with paint for larger splash panels). It references a wide range of illustrative styles and history, from the late 18th Century to French film pioneer Georges Méliès, early Disney, and underground comix. DARK, GRAPHIC NOVEL RETELLING I critically acclaimed, Pinocchio won the Grand Prize at France’s Angoulême comics festival in 2009 I for mature readers Winshluss, the pen name of Vincent Parronnaud, is the creator of numerous comics and graphic novels that have garnered awards and acclaim across Europe.
