ABMB: Scope, Miami, 2005

Very nice Mark Kostabi placement above lamp at (?). Here is a closer view of it.

The wonderful James Castle at Fleisher/Ollman. I have long loved this gallery.


Chris Dorland with his work at Wendy Cooper. The one behind the piece he is showing is the piece that was featured on the cover of Artpapers. Ed Winkleman's room at Aqua had a smaller, pink Dorland that I liked a little better than these. Lots of argumentative comments on Ed's recent post on Dorland.

Jered Sprecher is a Knoxville artist who had A LOT of excellent paintings here and I'm sorry I didn't get any photos, but be sure to check them out here.


Stefan Stux scoping Scope. Whose work? Whose room?

Photographs by Raissa Venables at Herman and Wagner (formerly SPH), from Berlin. She took a picture of my shoes at a later party.


Orly Cogan at (?). This is Orly Cogan, right?

Creepy and intense photo by (?) at (?). Somebody please fill me in on the artists and gallerists whose names I am missing.


Maureen Cavanaugh at 31Grand.

Getting asked to leave the front of Scope Miami by the organizer. I was only set up here (with some paintings) for a little while, but John Ravenal came by and said hello and Jerry Saltz whizzed in and out. This guy was freaking out a little bit, nobody at Aqua or Basel cared.

I didn't get a photo of the Mickalene Thomas swamp panther at The Proposition, but I loved it. The color was so rich, the image so fluid - it was sort of like an animation cell without the clarity. I'm not sure how she did it exactly, what the mediums were.
