a visual collective outlet of inspiration
this is my favorite period of richter, the blurred photo paintings and portraits, but this is not one of my favorites in the batch and thank god. this one sold on tuesday for 37 million, that’s ten times the price it sold for just 15 years ago at 3.5. don bryant, founder of napa valley’s bryant family vineyard is the new happy owner. i’m sure he really gets ‘art’ just like his wines. pay him a visit. by dd

james nares + thurston moore – street
so after a post last week, i paid a visit to paul kasmin gallery over the weekend and heard about another piece of his on view at the met. it is an hour of slow movement; shooting of people living their life in new york, with music by sonic youth’s thurston moore. reminds me of jarmusch’s dead man mixed with wes anderson’s movies for some reason. by pp.

PAUL MCCARTHY SCULPTURES
the current exhibition at hauser & wirth on 18th is a must see! you can’t imagine the beauty that these daunting oversized dreamy nightmares hold until you are dwarfed by them. “mccarthy unleashes debauchery and desire with extreme technical daring, charting a territory where our fundamental impulses collide with our most cherished myths and hypocritical societal norms.” seen here in his interpretation of his schneewittchen (snow white) theme. you can read more here, but to see in the flesh, go to 511 west 18th street, until june 1st. by kl
