Sales In The City: Fair Transactions Fredericks & Freiser on Fire New Yorks Fredericks & Freiser gallery has had a hugely successful show, nearly selling out its oversized booth by early Friday afternoon. The gallery has obviously been helped by the fact that it represents the artist commissioned by the fair to create its visual identity this year, John Wesley. Of the 15 Wesley acrylic-on-paper paintings on display (many bright pink nudes, with a somber-toned boating scene in the mix), all but two had sold for between $25,000 to $35,000 (and while we were speaking with Andrew Freiser, one of those two was placed on reserve). The gallery also sold a Lamar Peterson painting, Lady Riding a Dolphin, for $12,000, two works by Zak Smith: Spidy, Berlin, a painting, for $16,500 and a series of drawings, It Is Possible to Be So Nervous You Cant Actually Draw Recognizable Objects, for $9,000. (For more on Smiths second career as a performer in "alt-punk" adult movies, see below). The gallery also sold work by Whitney Biennial star Marilyn Minter, Hiroki Otsuka and Torsten Solin. Wool for the Wealthy L.A.s Michael Kohn Gallery was pleased to report that it sold a Christopher Wool work, Untitled (p2) for $175,000. The painting features black dots crowding a white canvas. Another Wool painting was on reserve at $125,000. Straight from the Studio Both Greenberg Van Doren and CRG Gallery were doing well with works that came to the fair straight from the artists studios. Van Doren sold a Kevin Zucker painting that arrived sight-unseen and went for $28,000, while a fresh painting by group-show fixture Lisa Sanditz sold for $17,000. CRG also sold a large painting by Tomory Dodge, whose show is currently on view at the gallery, for $20,000 to an American collector. Blue-Chip Blues Some major big blue-chip piecesat suitably blue-chip priceshave been slow to move at this years fair. A cabinet piece by Ilya and Emilia Kabakov at Sean Kelly is still available for $400,000. Works by Nan Goldin, including several cibachromes at Galerie Guy Bartschi and five unique, vintage prints at Yvon Lambert, and a unique Dan Flavin at Haunch of Venison, priced at 675,000 euros, are also still available, as are major paintings by Albert Oehlen and Markus Lupertz at Patrick Painter, priced from $55,000 to $175,000. Speaking Frank(ly) New Yorks Jack Tilton Gallery told us it sold a large (62 x 3 9) Natalie Frank painting executed this year and titled Converter for $9,000. After the widely reported sell-out of Franks current show at the Briggs Robinson Gallery (it closes Tuesday), we couldnt help but raise our eyebrows at what seemed like a very fair price. The gallery worker noted our surprise and said it would have been a poor decision for both gallery and artist to have jacked up the price too much in the wake of her success. The gallery also had a Wei Dong painting, filled with hairless Chinese nudes crowded into a classical Chinese landscape, available for $42,000. Dublin Gallery Brings in the Dough The Kerlin Gallery from Irelands capital is having a strong show. It sold a large, geometric abstract oil painting by Callum Innes, Exposed Painting: Cinnabar Green/Violet, for $30,000; and two amusing paintings by Norbert Schwontkowski for $7,200 each: The Half-Joke (where a speech bubble is cropped, spoiling the joke) and The Deer (a hunter dragging a carcass through some roughly rendered woods). Sikkema Sells Sillman New Yorks Sikkema Jenkins & Co. sold a large, abstract painting by Amy Sillman, dominated by a cheery orange, for $50,000. A super-colorful Vik Muniz photograph, Day of the Gods (Mahana No Atua), After Gauguin, Pictures of Pigment, went for $28,000. Bradens the Bomb This morning saw a lot of sales for emerging artists. London dealer Timothy Taylor sold out of sculptures and paintings by artist Tim Bradenthe gallery has reportedly sold over 30 works in the last month, with prices for a canvas work at around $18,000. Several collectors were also keen on two small paintings by Victor Man, although those had been snatched up by Taylor himself. Guild and Greyshkul sold two new paintings by Benjamin Degen for $20,000 to an American collector. David Kordansky seems to be on a hot streak, selling out work by Aaron Curry, with a steady stream of collectors coming by. Team Gallery sold almost all the editions of work by Gert and Uwe Tobias, who will be in the gallerys upcoming show, and the eye-catching, slick Kate Sheperd painting at Galerie Lelong quickly reserved for $30,000. Two sets of small collages by Wangechi Mutu were also a hot item, one selling for $9,500, the other already reserved. Not-So-Costly Kapoor The fair this year features some accessible works by artists who are sometimes difficult to collect. One of the best examples is Anish Kapoor, whose large and sometimes fragile works need some pretty committed collectors. SCAI Tokyo is selling two works on paper by the British artist starting at $18,000. Get Your Chapman Goyas Surprisingly, several Chapman brothers Goya etchings were still available, selling individually for 13,500 pounds at London's White Cube, as was a Harlan Miller painting, going for 14,500 pounds. Soy Sauce Sales Tokyos Ota Fine Arts sold one of Tsuyoshi Ozawas hanging-scroll paintings, made with soy sauce, for $6,000. The sold work, titled Jackson Pollock, was done in the signature style of the Abstract Expressionist master. Two other soy-sauce works are still available. A Yayoi Kusama painting was still available at the gallery for 10 times the price of the Ozawa. Complex Title, Five-Figure Sale New Yorks Feigen Contemporary sold for $10,000 a 51" x 48" oil painting by Susanne Simonson with the ungainly title, Samtidgheter III/Concurrents III. Simonson will be having her first U.S. show at the gallery in April. The gallery still has available an Elizabeth Huey painting, with a fairy-tale feel, for $12,000. Ridley Howard Trio Taken Zach Feuers gallery sold three small-scaled Ridley Howard paintings for $7,000 each. Howards work was recently featured among ArtInfos Editors Picks. Brussels Debut Galerie Rodolphe Janssen, from Belgiums capital, was selling some attractive work at attractive prices. A pencil drawing from 28-year-old American Sam Salisbury (of a large, womans head dominating a pastoral scene) sold for $3,700. Salisbury, who also paints, will be having his first show at the gallery next month. Two Romanian twins, Gert and Uwe Tobias, also seem like a pair to watch. They sold for a very reasonable $1,000 a mixed-media work that is a study for their specialty: large-scale woodcut prints. New Yorkers will be able to see these efforts at Team Gallery starting next Tuesday. J. Lo Sellout Mexcio Citys Galeria Enrique Guerrero sold all six works it brought by Jesica Lopez. The acrylic works on yellow-lined paper, half-length portraits of young women, sold for $750 each. A Photo Favorite Two photos by one of our favorite young photographers, Justine Kurland, were still available at Mitchell-Innes & Nash. A 40" x 50" color photo of a nude couple lying in the woods, titled The Pale Serpent, was available for $10,000 (edition of eight). A 17.75" x 22.75" color close-up of a young womans face, titled Gaea, can be had for $4,000 (edition of 8). Who the Man? New Yorks Alexander & Bonin brought with it a Man Ray painting, an untitled abstraction with thickly applied paint, that was available for $35,000. WEST SIDE STORY: ARMORY NEWS Architect Richard Meier with LTB Media CEO James Truman at 165 Charles Street, which is hosting a modern furniture exhibition Architect Richard Meier with LTB Media CEO James Truman at 165 Charles Street, which is hosting a modern furniture exhibition. Scope Smoke-Out New York City firefighters shut down the Scope fairs opening night preview yesterday due to excessive levels of carbon monoxide in the fairs building, located across the West Side Highway from the Armory piers. Scope organizers report theyve received the A-OK and officially opened for business just before noon today. A Room with a Million Dollar View Collectors browsed the art-filled residences today at 165 Charles Street, designed by Richard Meier, where six galleries installed a selection of modern and contemporary furniture and artwork in seven of the multi-million dollar Hudson River properties. Among the highlights of the event, officially titled "Design + Architecture: 20th Century Modern Furniture Exhibition": recent furniture designs by Ron Arad, shown by Barry Friedman Ltd. on the 10th floor, and organic glass terrarium sculptures by Paula Hayes, shown in an elaborately surreal installation by R 20th Century. Dealers reported swift sales since the opening on Tuesday at a cocktail premier. Architect Richard Meier himself contributed a little star power to a VIP brunch (hosted by ArtInfo) early yesterday morning. Also in attendance was Sotheby's furniture maven Blair Voltz Clarke and former Armory director Tim Smith. Zak Sabbath While browsing the nearly sold-out booth belonging to Fredericks & Freiser (see above), we noticed a not-for-sale work by Zak Smith titled Drawings Made Around the Time I Became a Pornstar. (Smith's illustrations for Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow stole the show at the 2004 Whitney Biennial; the work now belongs to the Walker Art Center.) Upon making inquiries, we learned from gallery owner Andrew Freiser that Smith actually is acting in what was described as "alt-punk" adult movies under the name Zak Sabbath (great, that). One of the titles he has appeared in even has art world ties: Art School Sluts. Smith has a show opening at SFMoMA on April 21 where these drawings and others will be featured. Rohatyn Roundup Salon 94s Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn and Nicolas Rohatyn welcomed visitors to their bright and spacious Upper East Side townhouse earlier this morning. Their collection consisted of an eclectic but perfectly put together showcase of leading contemporary artists. Sarah Lucas large steel 2005 sculpture titled Aunty Jam complimented the Rohatyns impressive solid curved wood staircase railing. The downstairs living room featured a row of small and intimate 1950s nudes while the upstairs living area was a home to two incredible Barry X Ball sculptures, one made of Italian fantastico marble and the other of a lapis lazuli aggregate. There were also two interesting Sarah Lucas sculptures made of materials ranging from nylon tights to cigarettes. The Rohatyns dining room had a striking 1997 Kara Walker paper installation titled Worlds Exposition that covered the entire east wall. Other artists on display included Mika Kato, Paula Hayes, Seth Price, Pae White and Julie Mehretu. Short Circuit It was lights out not once but twice on Pier 90, where electricity shut down on nearly the entire pier for periods of 20 to 30 minutes mid-afternoon. A few lone galleries were lucky enough to escape the blackout by some unknown quirk in the grid systemlike at Greene Naftali, where a glowing Guyton/Walker coconut chandelier (sold for $20,000) attracted buyers like flies to a street lamp. Other galleries were not so lucky: At Cheim and Read, the lights went out, extinguishing a Jenny Holzer LED display. The best gallery owner John Read could do was fruitlessly describe to passersby the effect of the piece when lit. Its white and amber, he said. Turns out maybe a Holzer isnt the best work to bring with if youre ever stranded on a deserted island. Non-Profit Waters Oh my God, theyve got you all at the back of the bus! exclaimed filmmaker John Waters when he saw the Swiss Institute, Art in General and at least four other non-profits shoved into mini-cubicles in the back of the pier. It seems the Armory gives non-profit galleries the short end of the stick when it comes to exhibition space. The Socrates Sculpture Park of Long Island City, founded by sculptor Mark di Suvero on an illegal dump site, had a prime space squeezed up against a wall between the restrooms. After 20 years in business, it seems the Armory may have put them almost back where they started. Correction: Opie Doesn't Have a Twin In yesterday's Armory report email, ArtInfo incorrectly noted that Tokyo's SCAI gallery has two paintings for sale by John Opie. The painter's name, of course, is Julian Opie. Yass, Yass, Yass! Theres work at the Armory by Catherine Yass at both her U.S. gallery, Lelong, and her London dealer Alison Jacques. Yass was of course nominated for the 2002 Turner Prize, and many of us recall the wonderful backdrop that the Merce Cunningham Company commissioned in 2003. She has a show scheduled at Lelong this fall. Her light boxes, which come in editions of three, are selling at Alison Jacques for $18,000. Less is MoMA Julie Atlas Muz must have made a big impression at the rather subdued MoMA benefit last night where she sported a bright green bikini and full-length fur coat. Installers at the Jeffrey Deitch booth were busily putting up a few of her drawings at opening time this morning, making space for them by removing one of the rather risque photographs by J.D. Samson. DIVA Gears Up for Round Two, Keeps it Cozy The second New York installment of DIVA (the Digital & Video Art fair) slowly got underway late yesterday afternoon at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Battery Park City. Billed this year as a tribute to Andy Warhol, organizer Thierry Alet intentionally keeps this emerging fair small, intimate and manageable by featuring about 30 international galleries throughout three hotel floors. With a feeling of openness and light, thanks to the Embassy's massive atrium, DIVA 06 once again offers a relaxed pace in comparison with the experience associated with the bustling bigger fairs. We try to interest those galleries specifically showing new and interesting works in video, film and digital art," according to Elga Wimmer, DIVA curator. This includes New York dealers LMAK, Maya Stendahl, Michael Steinberg Fine Art, Pablos Birthday and Rewind/Florence Lynch Gallery, among others, along with five galleries from Spain (Antonio De Barnola, Maria Llanos, Moises Perez De Albeniz, Sicart and Magda Bellotti), four from Germany (Caprice Horn, DNA-Die Neue Aktionsgalerie, Play_Gallery for Still And Motion Pictures and TZR (Galerie Fur Bildende Kunst), two from France (Les Filles Du Calvaire, Mamia Bretesche) and two from Taipei (Chi-Wen Gallery, Galerie Grand Siecle). Other exhibitors hale from Canada (Pierre-Francois Ouellette Art Contemporain), Russia (ARKA), China (Shanghart), the Netherlands (Ronmandos), Italy (Paolo Bonzano Artecontemporanea) and Chicago (Walsh Gallery). By far the most interesting and cohesive arrangement this year is that of Maya Stendhal Gallery, with Fluxus Film Anthology, a 120-minute compilation of 41 FluxFilms selected by Fluxus "chairman" George Maciunas. The video highlights films made by various artists such as Yoko Ono, Nam Jun Paik and Ben Vautier. Stendhal features two more works, Zefire Torno: Scenes from the Life of George Maciunus (1952-78) and Scenes from the Life of Andy Warhol (1999), created by filmmaker and writer Joan Mekas, founder of the Anthology Film Archives. All sell for an economical $500, as they are unlimited edition videos signed by Mekas. One gallery representative proudly demonstrated how to download these videos on an iPod-art that can always travel with you. Play_Gallery for Still And Motion Pictures has two noteworthy presentations. Pierre Coulibeufs mesmerizing Who's Marina Abramovic? (2006), an edition of six priced at 15,000 euro, encompasses the entrance to their suite. Barcelona-based artist Alejandro Vidal takes up the back room with Tactical Disorder, 2005, which addresses issues of social conflict, self-defense and violence. The piece sells for 5,000 euros. A few doors down, the multimedia installation S.L.TransPod (2006), at Walsh Gallery, feels like a futuristic airport saki bar suited for The Jetsons. Artist Rodney Swanstrom bridges low and high tech to create a complete sensory environment using light, video, aromatherapy and climate manipulation as his chosen mediums. Also in tune with futuristic flavor, Claire Oliver kicked off opening night with a performance by internationally-renowned Eva & Adele, the self proclaimed "Hermaphrodite Twins from the Future." Their piece, Watermusic (2003), an installation in three parts shot on super eight video in real time, makes its U.S. premiere at DIVA 06. An innovation in this year's fair is the introduction of "The Urban Video Experience." Seven shipping containers are on display in various locations throughout lower Manhattan. They are open to the public; however, many had difficulty finding them. DIVA 06 runs until March 12, at Embassy Suites Hotel, 102 North End Avenue, Battery Park City. All my Peace, Lif ove, and Happiness, I am giving to you, Spend who like there's no tomorrow, because, well, never mind about that, we'll deal with that eventuality when it gets here. DKS out!

We're here!" * March art fairs are roaring in like a pack of hungry wolves. In addition to the 8th annual Armory Show the overheated art market has spawned other fairs - Scope New York, Pulse New York, fountain, DiVA the Video Art Fair, Fountain and LA Art, all which aim to feed the need for the fresh feeding frenzy. * The Armory Show Big Kahuna of March art madness in New York is the Armory Show, running during one long weekend at Piers 90 & 92 on the Hudson River in midtown Manhattan. Of the 154 participating galleries from 38 cities, 54 are from New York, ranging from Deitch Projects, Matthew Marks and Gasser & Grunert to Guild & Greyshkul and Rivington Arms. Show is overseen by Katelijne De Backer. This year, the fair inaugurates a new section devoted to prints and multiples, and has enlisted designers Mark McDonald, Dune and Fighetto to do the public lounges. Artists Michael Joo, Richard Jackson, Os Gemeos, Wolfgang Staehle and Gary Simmons have been invited to install works in the fair’s lobbies and other public spaces. Swansea Big Wet Head 19th Street's Gasser & Grunert artist Ena Swansea is, as far as we know, the only New York artist having a solo show at the Armory and that is at Andreas Osarek's Germany Galerie Crone, Kochstraße 60, D-10969 Berlin, Booth 92-037, the opening of which is during the gala MoMA benefit opening on Thursday night. Also on the agenda is a panel on collecting moderated by Artnews publisher Milton Esterow, and a three-day festival of Spanish and Latin American video, film and poetry sponsored by ARCO, the Cervantes Institute and Merrill Lynch. The show continues to become more selective -- the total number of galleries is down from 162 in 2005 and 189 in 2004. The operation is run by dealers Matthew Marks and Paul Morris, with a selection committee of dealers that includes Massimo De Carlo (Milan), Anton Kern (New York), Emmanuel Perrotin (Paris, Miami), Eva Presenh?(Zurich), Stuart Shave (London) and Lisa Spellman (New York). The opening night fundraiser benefits the exhibition fund of the Museum of Modern Art; tickets can be bought online and range from $250 to $1,000. $20 ($10 for students). +
303 Gallery * Scope New York The four-year-old hotel fair moves out of the hotel for the 2006 edition of Scope New York, Mar. 10-13, 2006, setting up in a 30,000-square-foot warehouse space at 636 11th Avenue between 46th and 47th Streets, just blocks away from the Armory Show. The roster of 75 participating galleries includes a significant New York contingent: Cynthia Broan, 10G, 31 Grand, Annina Nosei, Black and White, Daniel Cooney, Ethan Cohen, Dam, Stuhltrager, Dean Project, Thomas Erben, Jack the Pelican Presents, Kustera Tilton, Magnan Emrich, Metaphor, Moti Hasson, James Nicholson, Curcioprojects, Rare, Jack Shainman, Stefan Stux, the Proposition and Michael Steinberg. Scope has several initiatives accompanying the fair, including performances on "a grassy hilltop stage," a program of radio art by free 103point9, and something called "Winner Takes All," billed (a bit incoherently) as a "bare-knuckle showdown" between teams of curators overseen by David Hunt and Franklin Sirmans. Scope is also sponsoring, in alliance with the New Museum of Contemporary Art, a daily screening of films by Francis Al˜s, David Claerbout, Douglas Gordon, Gary Hill, Pierre Huyghe, Joan Jonas, Isaac Julien, William Kentridge, Paul McCarthy, Pipilotti Rist and Anri Sala. The works, which are also on sale as a DVD box set (for $1,000), were part of the 2004 "Point of View" exhibition at the New Museum. $10. * 11am-8pm Winner Take All Under the stewardship of David Hunt & Franklin Sirmans, a consortium of independent curators will pass the curatorial baton, only to square off moments later in a bare-knuckle showdown. The anchorman becomes the lead-off man becomes the man who knew too much. Rolodexes are purged as relationship-arbitrage witnesses heavy trading. * The New York Museum of Complaint by Matt Bakkom--From noise to domestic violence to hysterical delusions, this room-size installation enlarges actual complaints sent to the mayor from the 19th and 20th century. * Shooting Gallery by Matt Bua and Jesse Bercowetz--In a bunker-like retreat, visitors will shoot at two actors dressed in faux body-armor. Riffing on amusement-park arcades, Bua and Bercowetz attempt to express suppressed voices of dissent. * Franklin Sirman’s Out the Box is conceived as a momentary space for ideas dedicated to work that is fresh and improvisational. While anchored in highly personal ideas for each artist and artist group, some of the issues revolve around beauty, identity, and history. * Intervention by MÖSCO, SKUF and VFR--It is the aim of the museum-based ALL CITY project to cancel and nullify, definitively, the historical and cultural anomaly that is the deliberate segregation of graffiti. o The 62 is a Brooklyn-based art collaborative that combines design, agricultural experimentation, electronics and engineering, fashion, politics and fun, whose art is based on a vision of sustainable culture and that one man's junk is another man's dream. o Kambui Olujimi’s Telephone-- As the United States continues illegally tap citizens’ telephones in the name of national security, Americans are forced to live in a collective culture of fear. In a sound installation utilizing ten modified telephones, he invites visitors to eavesdrop on recorded calls. o Risa Puno’s Vend to Own--Presenting objects that traffic ideas from private to public and back again. New and improved!! The biological virus that vends gossip. You can fill it with any and all rumors, slander, or misinformation that you can muster…it’s free to talk as much shit as you want! Participate at your own risk. o Larry Mantello’s Tri-Sectional Resurrectional is a large scale, multi-media fabric construction. Contrasting avatars of childhood abandon and innocence, such as SpongeBob SquarePants and The Simpsons, with imagery of dangling marijuana leaves, Mantello epitomizes the visual gluttony of cartoon-emblazoned consumer goods. * Sandra Bermudez’s Luxe--At first glance, the wallpaper seems to be composed of branches, fruits, insects and flowers, but, upon taking a closer look, the landscape is comprised of Jimmy Choo shoes, Gucci handbags, and Van Cleef jewelry. 11am-8pm Perpetual Art Machine An interactive multimedia experience and research project, integrating a cross-section of 100 submitted and selected film, video and new media. Presented by Lee Wells in collaboration with Chris Borkowski, Aaron Miller and Raphaele Shirley. PAM creates a dynamic sensory environment that allows the artist and the viewer to participate in the curatorial process both at Scope New York and on the web at http://www.perpetualartmachine.com 11am-8pm Performance Field Enjoy our grassy hilltop stage created by artists Al Hamm and Jonathan Chick featuring daily performances: Lilah Freedland--The experience of autonomy in fresh air. A wholesome dangerous cast of campers and counselors spanning the eight week summer in one day. Fresh blood, first aid, sing along, sneak out: SleepAway. Marie Lorenz’s Tidal Wave--Marie Lorenz is a NYC based artist known for her (Tied and Current Taxi) and other adventurous projects in and around the East River. In (Wipe Out), a sculpture constructed for the Scope Art Fair, she brings the river to the fair. Viewers are invited to float through the sculpture on a small raft and experience the interior and exterior of a breaking wave. Babatunde Babalola--Addressing Nigerian societal problems, Babtunde will stop in different points to prepare tea while dancing. This performance will offer a satiric commentary of the struggle for survival in Nigerian society. Eloise Fornieles--The two performers stand opposite each other--their hands are on each other’s shoulders as they awkwardly navigate into the social greeting of a distant air kiss. Just when the sexual tension between the two becomes unbearable, the performers slowly reverse the sequence of their previous gestures until they are air kissing once more.

(New York) and Torch (Amsterdam). Pulse is directed by Helen AllenWill Ramsay’s Affordable Art Fair empire.

Participating galleries include Acme, Angles Gallery, Carl Berg Gallery, Cherry and Martin, Christopher Grimes Gallery, Daniel Weinberg Gallery, Frank Lloyd Gallery, Kontainer, Lightbox, Marc Selwyn Fine Art, Q.E.D., Richard Heller Gallery, Roberts & Tilton, Rosamund Felsen Gallery, Sandroni Rey and Shoshana Wayne Gallery. The fair is operating a free shuttle service between the Altman Building and the Armory Show. $10. * Fountain: Capla Kesting Fine Art, Front Room Gallery, and McCaig-Welles Gallery Fountain, 660 12th Avenue, 5-10pm The avant-garde has always laid claim to history through its challenges and victories over the status quo. In a spacious street level special-event hall across 12th Avenue from Pier 90, in direct confrontation with, and running for the entire duration of the Armory Show and in the spirit of New York’s first Armory Show in 1913, three of Williamsburg’s most brash and cutting-edge galleries have collaborated to mount “Fountain” their own “Salon de Refuse.” “Fountain” (after Duchamp's title for his “ready-made” urinal) is the perfect moniker for this independent, experimental, mini art fair with its Duchampian spirit of philosophic irony.
