Santa Fe
As the official Tim Tate cheerleading site, it would be remiss of me not to mention that Tate received this really good review in Santa Fe during his gallery debut there.

James Marshall (Dalek) at Irvine
I've been hearing good things about Irvine Contemporary's current exhibition of James Marshall (Dalek) in his only 2008 solo exhibition, Overweight. The show opened last weekend in DC and sold out on opening night!
A new limited edition print published by Irvine Contemporary accompanies the exhibition, but it also sold out on opening night!
It’s the biggest hit by an international-level artist in a solo DC show in a long time, and I can't think of a recent DC gallery show that has done this well in recent memory. This is James Marshall’s only 2008 solo show, and a terrific coup for a DC gallery to host it. Congrats to Martin and the Irvine staff.
James Marshall (Dalek), Untitled (2008.4). Acrylic on panel, 30 x 30 in.
