Pop Ups

I have always enjoyed architecture and no less would I enjoy going to what is now called "Pop Ups" Co Founder Joop De Boer has formed this idea that things do not last. So he has been creating Pop up restaurants and art galleries that only seem to last for a few days and then vanish without a trace.  Read in the September 2012 NG Travel Magazine.

Outisde Lands

Juxtapoz covers the Outside Lands 2012 art and music festival, which is full of art, music, and a traveling circus. This is something I would like to attended. Would be a great place to take photos!

And the Final Bid is....

Gareth Willimas of Bonhms and auction house-and article in Nov. 12th 2012 Juxtaoz gives an interview about this auction house. In relation to its London based location and now located in other cities such as New York. The auction house as mainly dealt with Contemporary art, urban, and modern has inked its way into selling street art that has gained reputations. Without have a reputations your art would probably not be considered. So my advice find a few people to become your mainstream patron and art collector of your work.

Cool Designs

Interesting article in Wired Magazine March 2006 related to promotional advertising in part through the process of generating art with the use of software. Such software created by Joshua Davis will automate designs into various duplicated drawings. Sort of like silk screen only digital.

Another deal mentioned in the article is at least when the article was published that Mr. Davis had a really cool studio right in this own backyard. Though in a way I have the same set up and its great to get up in the morning with a cup of coffee and start working, but I wish my studio could be updated like Mr. Davis has. First I'm sharing the space with my parents and so its used as storage facility and if you have a phobia of spiders beware. Because this barn if you call it seems to be the birth place of all things creepy and crawly.

Its also strange how time goes by...in the article they make mention of Thomas Kinkade. Sadly he just passed away . (January 19, 1958 – April 6, 2012)

Anyway please check out his work...Joshua Davis

Dealer and Collector of fine art

Nice interview conducted by Steven M.L. Anderson with dealer/collector Eugene V. Thaw in Architectural Digest January 2008. This interview talks about Mr. Thaws dealing with various artists and patrons over the course of his life.  How he mainly dealt with Rothko and Pollock paintings...which he helped auction off through Sotheby's.

Personally from my point of view, its always interesting how and when money comes into play. Most artist back then and even today will never be able to sell their paintings for a good value. Only it seems after artists die that the paintings all of a sudden become important and collector worthy.  I wish that could change.

Make note about Archives of American Art mentioned in Town and Country March 2010 Culture and Arts section. This organization has collected over a million items once owned, produced, and left behind by influential and famous artists. Such important items have been placed in an outstanding archive which will allow future patrons to see how these artist once lived. In addition with the help of Terra Foundation we can now view much of what has been archived online.
