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.

Read the review by Hollis Walker here.

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.

This Wednesday night at AOM

The Pink Line Project will be presenting a series of panel discussions to educate the emerging and experienced art collector at the soon to open a Art-O-Matic. Click on the image below for details.


I will part of a panel which will be held this coming Wednesday, May 21 at 7 pm in the 7th Floor Education Room. It is the "Information Overload: Finding Reliable and Useful Information About Art Collecting."

It will be moderated by DC ubercollector Dr. Fred Ognibene and will include JW Mahoney, Sharon Burton, Martin Irvine and yours truly.

See ya there!

Back

I was at an art fair all weekend long... 300 plus emails to deal with, so loads to post soon. More later...

Today: Glass party and open house

The Washington Glass School is having their big annual open house and 7th Anniversary Party today. Tons of glass sculpture and bowls for sale.

This annual event is always a load of fun and a great way to grab some real bargains! Over two dozen artists from the DC area will be participating... so you don't want to miss this one!

Saturday, May 17th from 12noon to 5pm! Details here.

Early Look Peek

Here's another early peek at another student whose work I've selected for the "Early Look" student exhibition at the Long View Gallery in DC next month.

Her name is Lauren Albert and she's a senior at Moore College of Art & Design in Philly. Below is an animated video which will be in the show. See some of her 2D artwork here.

The show opens at Long View Gallery DC on June 7 from 5-8PM.

Wanna go to a DC opening tomorrow?
