» This is the most bizarre article.
With lines like “Here’s what’s alleged”, “Here’s what we know”, and “Other details are elusive” this ArtInfo article is making us sound like the latest “I didn’t kill my boyfriend in a fit of rage” trial du jour.

In light of all the good news, this seems most appropriate!

This is really applicable because I’ve been thinking (quietly panicking) about this a lot.
» Intro to The Art World: A Beginners Reading List
You like art. You know nothing about it. Where to start? How about our beginners art reading list! This list is for all the friends over the years who have asked me what they should read to lear…
Super good list if you are thinking about expanding that mind of yours.
“The night saw new highs at auction for Carol Bove, Joe Bradley, Dan Colen, Mark Grotjahn, Sergej Jensen, Bharti Kher, Robert Longo, Adam McEwen, Raymond Pettibon, Elizabeth Peyton, Rob Pruitt, Sterling Ruby and Mark Ryden.”

Leonardo DiCaprio’s charity auction at Christie’s set some records.
It’s interesting how they discuss that even though the artists don’t get the tax benefit of the full price of the work, these new records and attention will be very beneficial in the long run. I would like to think that this wouldn’t be the only reason to donate expensive works, but it’s not a bad side-effect.
William Powhida Some Criteria For Evaluation, 2013 and What Can We Learn About Art? (panel 1 of 4), 2013
Read about his new show Bill By Bill here.
… Bill By Bill turns out to be an earnest and successful attempt to make thoughtful, content-driven paintings. That is, once you realize that the real art in this show is not the fabricated objects on display but Powhida’s watercolor text pieces that supplement them. Well-crafted and explicit in their intent, these paintings are polar opposites of the redundant, boringly vague artworks that they mock. They depict Powhida’s ideas as handwritten texts scrawled across a piece of notebook paper. The illusion is so satisfying, and the writing so intriguing, you hardly notice that what you are really looking at are representational watercolor paintings created with such care that it’s almost sentimental.
