In the land of flowers
Took an Oh-Dark Thirty flight to Florida today in prep for Art Basel Miami Beach week, as we'll be participating at the Context Art Miami fair in Wynwood.
The most able Audrey Wilson arrived last night to Ft Lauderdale and picked me up at the airport.
As soon as you land in FLL you know that you are in the land enriched by the historic Cuban diaspora.
Check out the cuisine at the airport!

Heading South
The van was packed today, almost everything fit... almost. It will soon head South to Context Art Miami, where we will be in booth E-44 and showcasing the work of British painter Simon Monk, Mexican photographer Dulce Pinzon, and the sculptures of American sculptors (and DMV area artists) Audrey Wilson and Elissa Farrow-Savos.
Oh yeah... had to drop $1600 in repairs to the van just prior to the drive to Miami... better here than on the road!
I fly down on Saturday and will start daily reports on Monday!

Another scam
This is a scam - they're just beginning to hit artists and galleries with their own domain names:
Subject: alidaanderson domain and keyword in CN From: "David Zhang" Date: Tue, November 18, 2014 11:55 pm To: info@alidaanderson.com Priority: Normal
(Please forward this to your CEO, because this is urgent. Thanks)We are a Network Service Company which is the domain name registration center in Shanghai, China. On Nov 17, 2014, we received an application from Huabao Holdings Ltd requested "alidaanderson" as their internet keyword and China (CN) domain names. But after checking it, we find this name conflict with your company name or trademark. In order to deal with this matter better, it's necessary to send email to you and confirm whether this company is your distributor or business partner in China?Kind regardsDavid ZhangGeneral ManagerYIGUDNS (Headquarters)B06, Yujing Building, No.1 Jihe Road,Shanghai 201107, ChinaTel: +86 21 6191 8696Mobile: +86 138 1642 8671Fax: +86 21 6191 8697Web: www.yigudns.com

Amber Robles-Gordon at the Capitol Skyline tomorrow
OPENING RECEPTION TOMORROW -- THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20 FROM 7-9PM
OPENING RECEPTION
November 20, 2014, 7-9pm
LOCATION
South Capitol Street FacadeCapitol Skyline Hotel
10 I (Eye) Street SW
Washington, DC 20024
WPA presents a new work by DC-based artist Amber Robles-Gordon as the second installation in its South Capitol Skyscape series. For the 50-foot banner on the South Capitol Street façade of the hotel, WPA has excerpted a portion of Robles-Gordon's new work entitled At the Altar: Dance of the Serpents. Created through the artist's signature assemblage process combining textiles and found objects, the work takes new form using a recycled hammock as its support and foundation, representing the structural constructs of the past and the restrictive patterns of repetitive thinking.

Jane Haslem to close after 55 years
Jane Haslem Gallery, the DMV's longest running art gallery will host its last "formal exhibition" after 55 years of operation!
For those of you who don't know, 55 years is close to 873 years in people-years! Haslem's Artline was (and is) one of the planet's first gallery sites on the Internets; it made its debut in 1995, the year before we opened the Fraser Gallery in Georgetown!
When we opened, we already had a website ready to fly hosted on the old Geocities server... back then you could count the DMV galleries with a web presence in one hand and Haslem had set the standard.
Check out their last formal show here.

Heading to the UK
Because I work my ass off, and because I am lucky to be represented by five very hard working galleries in the US and Europe, and because I am perhaps the most reasonably-priced (and needless to say uber talented) artist on the planet, I manage to sell a lot of work each year.
As a result, I don't usually note individual sales here, but every once in a while (such as in this case) a sale stands out. And the small drawing below is heading to the United Kingdom to the collection of one of the top ten art collectors on Earth!

Happy Veterans' Day!
To all American fellow veterans, both those who have served and those who are serving in all corners of the planet while we're home with our families. A well-deserved thank you to all the soldiers, sailors, airmen/women, Marines and Coasties.
This Veteran's Day is especially important in view of increased operations in various parts of the world where our men and women are in harm's way, and we should be even more thankful to those who wear and who have worn the uniform with honor.
Below is Petty Officer Third Class Lenny Campello back in 1975!

Willie on Lance
"I think it is just terrible and disgusting how everyone has treated Lance Armstrong, especially after what he achieved, winning seven Tour de France races while on drugs. When I was on drugs, I couldn't even find my bike.”
