Photographers across the country can breathe a sigh of relief. The U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York dismissed collector Jonathan Sobel’s lawsuit against photographer William Eggleston. The case, art law experts say, has broader implications for all artists who incorporate old photographic negatives into new work — and the collectors who support them.Read about it here.
Filed last April, the complaint alleged that Eggleston diluted the value of Sobel’s collection by printing larger, digital versions of some of his best-known works and then selling them for record prices at Christie’s.

It took 32 years to sell this painting...
When I was an art student at the University of Washington School of Art in the world's greenest city, the beautiful Seattle in the other Washington, one of the classes that we had was to create works in the style of "masters."
Back then I was in the ecstasy of having just discovered the works of Frida Kahlo, and being the talented antagonist that I am, I delighted in working the now iconic visage into as many art school assignments as I could.
This drove a lot of my art school professors batty, as control is always part of being a professor of anything, even though in art (at least back then) it was all about about freedom of doing whatever you wanted.
One week, the assignment was to paint a canvas in the style of Jackson Pollock, which as most art hacks now, can essentially be done with you eyes closed in zip time.
I delivered a four foot by four foot square canvas which delighted the Prof. -- him and I having had a few discussions about "following directions..." -- There was no Kahlo visage in sight! No eyebrows anywhere in the dripping of colors.
I got an A for the class.
Here's the painting below... it's actually a mediocre Pollock, but a brilliant drip painting in the style of the guy who was teaching the class and who was a drip painter... cough, cough; but there's more to the story.
Dude should have been suspicious of the title... heh, heh... but usually people want to see what they want to see...
And below is an image of the painting once the hidden flap in the center is removed...
And here's what's in the middle, under a most clever flap...
When I (of course) showed the hack (after grades had been recorded) the "real" work... he was furious at first... and then he laughed and congratulated me on my assholishness...
That painting has had a long and very cool provenance... it was exhibited back then at the University of Washington, and decades later at the Fraser Gallery show Passion for Frida: 27 Years of Frida Kahlo exhibition that got loads of coverage (for the DMV anyway), with a nice review in the Washington Times and a profile on the Washington City Paper.
After that it was everywhere! Santa Fe, New York, Miami...
And then, out of the blue (well... not really) ... it's now heading to a major art collector in Bryn Mawr, PA.
It took Frida and Jackson's marriage 32 years to find a home... but a home they have found!

LATINO/US Cotidiano
Civilian Art Projects' director Jayme McLellan has been working with the Embassy of The Kingdom of Spain to help promote the LATINO/US Cotidiano exhibition. They've worked hard to produce the show, and props to Bridget Sue Lambert
who printed all of the photographs. Opening details at the bottom.
'LATINO/US Cotidiano'
A national traveling exhibition and photobook visualizing the U.S. Latino experience today through 12 of the most talented photographic voices working internationally.
SPAIN arts & culture is pleased to present a national traveling exhibition and book, LATINO/US Cotidiano. Literally meaning "everyday life," Cotidiano is a dynamic look at the rapidly changing nature of the Latino experience in America.
The Hispanic population in the U.S. has reached the 50 million mark, making the Latino community the largest minority in the country for the first time. One out of every six Americans is now of Hispanic origin, an impressive social transformation with enormous political, economic, and cultural consequences. Outdated stereotypes, racial profiles, and past cultural archetypes no longer accurately reflect a nation enriched by a growing and diverse population. But what does it look like today?
To better understand this culturally shifting phenomenon, SPAIN arts & culture commissioned Claudi Carreras, one of the foremost experts on IberoAmerican Latino photography, to research and gather the strongest photographic voices working today on issues of Latino identity. For LATINO/US Cotidiano, Carreras selected established and emerging photographers of Latino descent who embrace the theme and also excel at their craft: Carlos Alvárez Montero, Sol Aramendi, Katrina Marcelle d'Autremont, Calé, Ricardo Cases, Livia Corona, Héctor Mata, Karen Miranda, Dulce Pinzón, Susana Raab, Stefan Ruiz, and Gihan Tubbeh.
Join us also for a book presentation, Q&A and signing on April 3, 2013 at 6 pm at the National Portrait Gallery with Associate Curator of Photographs Frank Goodyear, LATINO/US Cotidiano curator Claudi Carreras, and photographers Ricardo Cases and Susana Raab, moderated by Carlos Tapia, Professor at American University.

More bucks for DC public art
The D.C. Commission
on the Arts and Humanities (DCCAH) has just announced a proposed
$2.3 million increase to the city's public art budget in the most recent
Capital Improvements Plan by Mayor Vincent C. Gray. The proposed budget
increase, which will take effect in FY 2014, will allot a $5 million
annual capital allocation for public art over the next six years.
The DCCAH administers public art in the District through its DC Creates! Public Art
program. This program, which is funded by the city's Capital Budget
purchases, commissions, and installs artworks for public sites
throughout the District of Columbia, including parks, libraries,
community centers, government offices, bridges and other public venues.
The collection includes more than 100 permanently sited and integrated
works and over 2,600 portable works in District Government offices.
"The mayor's $2.3 budget
increase is a significant investment in making the District of Columbia a
world-class arts and culture destination," said Lionell Thomas,
Executive Director of the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities.
"Investing in the aesthetic qualities of this city provides for a
improved quality of life, creates cultural attractions as well as
develops a sense of place in our neighborhoods."

When sailors drink...
Here's a puzzle that has confounded Sailors for decades... even the brightest among us.
You are on a Horse, galloping at a constant speed.
On your starboard side is a sharp drop off.
And on your port side is an Elephant traveling at the same speed as you.
Directly in front of you is a galloping Kangaroo and your horse is unable
to overtake it.
Behind you is a Lion running at the same speed as you and the Kangaroo.
What must you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation?
After years of research, the DoD has come up with the answer to this rather odd, but unusually common situation... been there and done that.... scroll down for the answer...

WILMER WILSON IV: THE FOREVER AFTERMATH
Curated by Laura RouletWED APR 3 – SUN JUN 30
FREE
Opening Reception: Thu April 18 / Free / 5-7pm
Curated by Laura Roulet
Seizing on a dynamic moment in D.C. performance art, the exhibition titled Wilmer Wilson IV: the FOREVER Aftermath culminates Wilmer Wilson IV’s performance art series Henry “Box” Brown: FOREVER, and provides through innovative programming a forum for other DC-area artists to explore the evolution of performance as an art form. The exhibit and forums focus on the aftermath of performance art. On display is a rotating selection of documentation and detritus from the Henry “Box” Brown: FOREVER performances, which were commissioned by the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities as part of the spring 2012 5x5 temporary public art project.
Inspired by the historic figure Henry “Box” Brown, a 19th century slave from Richmond, Virginia, who mailed himself to freedom, Wilmer Wilson IV used his own body to examine what freedom means. Artisphere’s Artist in Residence Studio becomes a platform for a discursive, flexible exhibition, collapsing the working space of an artist’s studio and an exhibition gallery, and rethinking spectatorship.
Wilmer Wilson IV: the FOREVER Aftermath helps kick-off of the Rosslyn-wide SUPERNOVA, a performance art festival, June 6-9, curated by the Pink Line Project and commissioned by the Rosslyn Business Improvement District. Wilmer Wilson IV: the FOREVER Aftermath is made possible by the Rosslyn BID and supported in part by the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities' DC Creates! Public Art program.
PERFORMANCE: AFTERMATH
Thu April 18, Thu May 16 and Sat June 8 / Free / Dome Theatre
Performance: Aftermath coincides with Wilson's residency and addresses the ongoing life of performance art. Local performance artists are invited to collaborate and present their practices in whatever inventive format they choose. During the weeks leading up to each forum, videos of the presenting artists’ work will be rotated on Artisphere’s Video Wall.

Another reason why Communists suck...
Warhol’s Mao Works Censored in China!
Mao Zedong’s [otherwise known as history's biggest mass murderer: Mao Tse-Tung] face has long graced trinkets and kitsch sold at tourist markets across China. But in the country’s top art museums, his most famous portrayal by a Westerner isn’t welcome.
Sorry, Andy Warhol.
Although the scion of Pop Art passed away in 1987, Warhol is still generating controversy. A vast traveling retrospective of his work, “Andy Warhol: 15 Minutes Eternal,” has already made stops in Singapore and Hong Kong as part of a two-year Asia tour, but when it moves to mainland China next month, the artist’s Mao paintings won’t be coming along.Read about it here... this is what happens when the government decides everything for the good of everyone... cough, cough...

Maryland honors artists...
The Maryland
State Arts Council (MSAC), an agency of the Maryland Department of
Business and Economic Development, has recognized 87 Maryland artists
for creating work of exceptional quality within a range of
disciplines. This class of outstanding writers, artists and performers
was selected from nearly 600 applicants (including yours truly) and awarded grants ranging from
$1,000 to $6,000 to advance their artistic careers. This year’s
Individual Artist Awards went to artists working within the disciplines
of Fiction; Painting; Media/Digital/Electronic Arts; Solo Theatrical
Performance; and Works on Paper. Although I was rejected for the billionth time, I congratulate all the artists who received an award - yay!
 Portrait of Fair Young Fia as Licensed Royalty by Katherine Miller |
“Artists and art making in
Maryland help fuel our creative economy and expand opportunities for
cultural engagement across the state,” said Theresa Colvin, Executive
Director of MSAC. “The diverse works of exceptional individual artists
is essential to the arts industry, which generates a billion dollars a
year in Maryland.”
The MSAC’s competitive Individual Artists Award (IAA) is a program administered by Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation that recognizes the value of artists and their work to the cultural vitality of Maryland. In determining the awards, an out-of-state jury reviews unidentified IAA submissions and recommends grant awards solely on the basis of artistic ability.
Many artists report applying IAA grant funds toward the cost of materials needed to complete their projects. Sculptor David Knopp, a 2012 Individual Artist Award recipient wrote, “Since receiving the award, I have completed two more functional sculptures, and the monetary award supplied the materials to complete them. I will be experimenting with incorporating other hardwoods into my sculptures and hardwoods come at a hefty price. The award will aid in purchasing the lumber.” Knopp, a lifelong Baltimore resident who works a night shift, and spends the days producing art, was later named one of only three 2012 Baker Artists—a prestigious distinction accompanied by a $25,000 grant.

Frank Hyder at Projects Philly
Projects Gallery Philadelphia (which represents my work in Miami and in Philly) has a great exhibition coming that deserves a mention in DC's best art blog (since I lived in the Philly suburbs from 2006-1009... cough, cough).
They will showcase The Frontier, a solo exhibition by Frank Hyder. Works being featured
include mixed media paintings on Mylar and illuminated sculptures. This show is held in conjunction with Hyder’s installation
“Sea Dream“ on display in Terminal C of the Philadelphia Airport.
Hyder has reached into his past and leans into the future
with this dynamic series of works. For more than thirty years, innovative use
of woodcuts such as “Sea Watcher” in the Philadelphia Museum of Art and shaman
prints, again part of the PMA and the Library of Congress collections, have
been signature works for this native Philadelphian and now Miami resident. In
recent years, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Caracas and the Museum of
Catholic Art and History in New York City have provided venues for his
large-scale installations, combining sculpture, prints and painting to create
narratives about the forest and traditions of the Americas.
The
Frontier series began as a site-specific installation painting for
the Miami Beach host site of the Select Art Fair during Art Basel Miami 2012.
The main element of this installation was a 7 x 20 ft. mixed media work on
Mylar that filled the stairway glass walls connecting two floors of the fair.
Moving up or down these stairs immersed the viewer into the painting and
environment of the forest. The work is peppered with digital prints on tracing paper,
supplying sporadic bursts of color throughout. The forest is dominated by black
and white contrast, a contrast that continues throughout the works of the show.
Developing on the concept, Hyder has made paintings that focus on these prints and how they are fitted into the invented landscapes that surround them. He continues using this black-and-white-versus-color concept in a series of 3-dimensional LED illuminated prints on shaped Plexiglas, which create a small, lighted installation in one room of the gallery. The artist also steps off the wall here with freestanding sculptures from his “Chrysalis Series.” These sinuous standing forms are abstractly animated by collaged black and white woodcuts and eerie luminous colored light.

Sen. Dick Durbin: The Taxman
"If you take a walk...
I'll tax your feet...
- Lennon & McCartney
The news from Capitol Hill is clear and just like the economy... it's grim.
Internet sales tax supporters are convinced that 2013 is their year, and they are determined to pass a new Internet sales tax bill when our out of control "tax everything" Congress (that refuses to face real financial austerity) tackles "corporate tax reform" in spite of the fact that "corporate" and the millions of small American businesses that operate on the Internet seldom share the same anything.
In December, Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL), the misguided idiot who smells more and more sources to suck money out of the economy and is the sponsor of Internet sales tax legislation, publicly announced that he had a commitment from the Senate Finance Committee to "take it up early next year and move it to the floor." Why Durbin wants to lead an effort to bleed more and more taxes is something between himself and his big money donors...
Your opinion matters. If you oppose giving state tax collectors new powers to impose and enforce out-of-state sales tax burdens on small businesses that sell via the Internet, now is the time to make your voice heard.
This is not a Republican or Democrat issue - but an issue that deals with the freedom of the worldwide web and the never-ending appetite for some Democrats in Congress to try to tax any and everything that moves.
Take the time to email, call or write to your two Senators and your Congress person... feel free to use, edit and adapt the letter below, but DO SOMETHING!
Dear Member of Congress,
As
your constituent and one of the millions of Americans concerned with this issue, I'm asking you not to impose any new sales tax laws on small
businesses operating on the Internet.
In
the 1992 Quill Decision, the Supreme Court ruled that it was
unconstitutional to allow state tax enforcement authorities to impose
their sales tax laws on small businesses located in other states.
However, an effort backed by giant retailers and a group of state
legislators is trying to push Congress to overturn the Quill Decision
and establish an unfair tax regime that would force small online
businesses to be subject to sales tax laws all across the country,
regardless of where the small business is actually located.
Millions of American small business retailers, would be directly
impacted by any new Internet sales tax system. It would increase the
cost of doing business and shopping on-line, which would hurt sellers
and buyers alike. I believe that small businesses selling via the
Internet should only be subject to the tax laws of the states in which
they operate. Instead of imposing new tax burdens on small businesses, I
would encourage Congress to do EXACTLY the opposite and look at new policies that encourage small
business growth and development on the Internet, which in turn will spur
job growth and increase consumer choice.
As
your constituent, I would ask that you please oppose any efforts to
impose new tax burdens on small businesses operating on the Internet.
Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
YOUR NAME

The first American Pope!
American in the true meaning of the word (which means "from The Americas") as Argentina's Jorge Mario Bergoglio becomes the first Pope from the New World!Annuntio vobis gaudium magnum; habemus Papam:
Eminentissimum ac Reverendissimum Dominum,
Dominum Georgium Marium
Sanctae Romanae Ecclesiae Cardinalem Bergoglio
qui sibi nomen imposuit Franciscum.
This is a win-win situation for the Church... an Italian from Argentina, which is essentially the New World's version of Italy anyway... brilliant! An Italian Pope from the New World!
The son of an Italian immigrant to Argentina, the new Pope seems like a really good guy for both of those who endorse the Church's dogma as well as those who appreciate a socially active Pope.
An a Jesuit! WOW! That even harder to believe than a Pope who wasn't born in Europe! If my memory serves me right, the only other Jesuit ever offered the Papacy declined it.
And the last Spanish speaking Pope was the Borgia Pope... cough, cough...
And by the way... his name is Pope Francis (and not Ignatius as a good Jesuit would have chosen... which is of itself an interesting sign) and NOT Francis The First as nincompoop talking heads on TV keep saying... he's the first Pope named Francis - not the first King named Francis.... otherwise the announcement would have been: qui sibi nomen imposuit Franciscum Primum.
This is what happens when Latin gets dropped from being taught in schools.
My best to the 266th Pope!
Vaya Pana!
