Like these well-known Maritime painters, Blom’s work has a timeless and idealized quality, with the same precise organization and execution. Unlike Colville and Pratt, Blom focuses on the environment rather than the narrative. There is an air of serenity, as though time is suspended. The cold flat surfaces of architectural molding, the exactitude of floor tiles, the calculated glimpses of rooms beyond -- all Wim Blom, Blue Lamp (2006), oil on canvas [Ian Tan contribute to a disquieting hyper-realism. With Gallery, Vancouver BC, through Sep 20] everything unessential removed and the emphasis on underyling geometry, the ordinary environments in the paintings take on an archetypal presence. Will Blom earned his early degrees in Johannesburg, South Africa, followed by studies at the University of Edinburgh, University of Perugia, Southern Alberta Institute of Technology and San Miguel de Allende. His work is in numerous corporate and private collections in Canada, France, Great Britain, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland and the United States, as well as the National Gallery of Canada and the South African National Gallery.

  • Liz Magor I Have Wasted My Life
    Andrew Kreps 22 Cortlandt Alley, Tue–Sat, 10 am–6 pm Tel. (212)741-8849 Gallery New York, NY 10013 andrewkreps.com Fax. (212)741-8163 Liz Magor I Have Wasted My Life May 21 - July 3 Opening Reception: Friday, May 21, 4 - 7 pm Andrew Kreps Gallery is pleased to announce I Have Wasted My Life, an exhibition of new works by Liz Magor at 22 Cortlandt Alley. On the wall, a new sculpture titled Perennial is formed from a duffle coat, which in the 1960s and 1970s had become a de-facto uniform for student protestors, including those part of the nascent environmental movement in Vancouver, where Greenpeace was founded in 1971. A near artifact from this time, the coat carries with it the accumulated wear from these actions. The artist’s own interventions seek to repair the garment, though in lieu of erasure, Magor marks the damage using paint, ink, and sculptural material. Simultaneously, Magor adds vestiges of the coat’s past activity, such as two cookies cast in gypsum placed in its pocket to resuscitate it to its prior use. Magor often positions humble objects at the center of her sculptures, the stuff that plays fleeting roles in our lives as repositories for memories and affection before being replaced. Three found workbenches, positioned throughout the galleries, become stages for these objects, suggesting sites for their rehabilitation. On each, a meticulously molded and cast toy animal rests between an array of accumulated items that range from the deeply personal, such as small collections of rocks, shells, and dried flowers, to those that are ubiquitous, such as Ikea Lack furniture, which is produced in a way that it is no longer contained to one place, or time.

  • Oral History Interview with Edward B. Thomas, 1983 April 28-May 10
    Oral history interview with Edward B. Thomas, 1983 April 28-May 10 Funding for the digital preservation of this interview was provided by a grant from the Save America's Treasures Program of the National Park Service. Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Edward B. Thomas on April 28 & May 10, 1983. The interview took place in Seattle, Washington, and was conducted by John Olbrantz for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. Interview DATE: APRIL 28, 1983 [Tape 1] JOHN OLBRANTZ: Ed, can you tell me a little bit about your background, where you were born, your early childhood experiences, your parents, who your father was, who your mother was, how they came to live in this part of the country? EDWARD THOMAS: Well, I was born in Cosmopolis, Washington, and many times when I've come through customs, when I was much younger and especially at the Mexican border, they would say, "Where were you born?" and I'd say, "Cosmopolis, Washington," they'd say, "Look, bud! Don't get funny with us." (laughter) But there actually is such a place as Cosmopolis, Washington. Nobody had any particular influence upon me, I would say, in my younger years as far as becoming interested in art, and particularly teaching art. I had a very severe illness when I was four and five years old and was confined to bed a lot, and so people brought me tablets and color crayons and pencils and stuff like that.

Primary and Secondary Markets 14 II. Value, Price and Brand 22 III. The Squeezed Middle 30 IV. From Cultural Artefacts to Financial Products 38 Conclusion 50 The Foundation 56 Trustees and Advisory Board 58 04 05 There seem to be a lot of myths around the modern art market, FOREWORD which is understandable, as we are historically inclined to seek, and at times to invent, explanations of powerful phenomena. 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.
