Miami Heat

It's been a little over a month since the marathon week in Miami. The gallery represented twelve artists at the fair and visitor attendance started off with a visit from Bill Mindlin and Dolly Meieran from PHOTOGRAPH in New York. Bill and I certainly seemed to be thinking along the same wardrobe lines...Miami gave us a chance to show off our summer suits in January.

Note the two beautiful Chris Scarborough drawings to the right. I Look forward to his show here in April along side photographer Jessica Dimmock.

Speaking of showing off, the gallery has been invited to participate in ShowOff, a contemporary art fair held this October in Paris. Situated conveniently near FIAC, the third installment comprises 40 international contemporary art galleries. We are thrilled to be a part of this event.

On Press and on the Wall

A few weeks ago, Michelle Hinebrook and I took a trip to up to New York Press & Graphics in Albany to print Michelle's catalogue. Between the unlimited supply of Mountain Dew's in the fridge and a very fun dog, we had a great time and walked away with a handsome catalogue. Her exhibition opened November 1 and remains on view until January 5th.

Thomas Allen Uncovered

It's hard to believe (actually, not really) that I haven't posted since July! I guess it was just a very long birthday celebration that brings me now to November. On the cusp of the Miami Fair and coming down off a great opening for Michelle Hinebrook and Doug Keyes here at the gallery on November 1. Instead of unleashing all news at once, I need to backtrack a little....



The Thomas Allen monograph has been out now for a little over 2 months and a 2nd printing is underway. That was quick. We do have some signed first editions here available for sale.

Tom's book was on press with Goose on the Loose Goose. A nice pairing (so to speak).

Thomas Allen on Cover of Fine Books and Collections Magazine

This just in! Thomas Allen's image "Stranger" is appearing on the cover of the July/August issue of Fine Books and Collections Magazine. We are very proud of Tom. You can check this publication out at Barnes and Noble and other book retailers.

Long Overdue

A big long overdue thanks to Jonathan LeVine for hosting the event of the year, Ruas de Sao Paulo, at the Hiro Ballroom. This event which coincided with his gallery exhibition survey of Brazilian Street Art, was a great way to show off the talent that this city has to offer. Foley Gallery artist Alexandre Orion comes from the same generation of street artist and it was so good of LeVine to bring that work to NYC. Long overdue.

Great hanging out with Jonathan and Joyce.

PowerHouse

For the third year in a row, I participated in the PowerHouse portfolio review. The event is held in their large Arena headquarters in DUMBO. What a space! This year was incredibly well organized and the morning pastries provided to the reviewers were as good as ever.

I enjoy doing these portfolio review events for several reasons. First, it gives me the opportunity to see at least 12 new artists who work with photography in some fashion. Second, it's a great way to catch up with a whole host of colleagues...thanks to Tom Gitterman for letting me hitch a ride to the event. Third, the pastries.

I was incredibly fortunate this year to meet Kent Rogowski who shared his work with me. His project, BEARS, has just been released by PowerHouse books and I have scheduled an exhibition at the gallery to open June 21. I found the work to be incredibly intriguing and confounding all in the same view. I look forward to the show.

Bonus for me: I sat between Larry Fink and Stephen Frailey during the day. Thankfully, the reviewers are seated alphabetically!
