Alison's painting stand on there own. Zach Feuer gallery is giving everbody a run for thier money. And yes people know people and peole help people, this is how life works. And communities of people and artists give cultural context to work. So all you jealous nobodys should apologize to Zach and Alison.<BR/><BR/>Guy YanaiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8694556.post-1122940436046515632005-08-01T19:53:00.000-04:002005-08-01T19:53:00.000-04:00All right all loser bottom feeder player hater art...All right all loser bottom feeder player hater artist need to stop now. All those hating on Zach or LFL are obviously losers who's slides where not only rejected by LFL but every other up and coming gallery in town. Maybe if they spent more time in the studio working on their chops and worrying less about the competition they might get over. Probably not, the kind of person who would spend a second to write that crap is a lost case.<BR/>I'm sure they were second string wait list for whatever crappy MFA program they got into. They were that person you went to school with you knew never stood a chance once they got out. They will probably hide doing tenure in some piss ass college teaching hate and frustration to unsuspecting art students.

Zac...Re-reading this thread continues to enrage me. Zach is intelligent and thoughtful but extremely narrow in his analysis. And just because I am an anonymous commenter, it doesn't mean this is all I do to try to change things, it is just easier to say what I think when no name is attached to it. What's wrong with that? Nothing. You don't need to know who I am. It is the opinion and not the person that matters in this case. However, in the case of Alison Fox, it does matter, as she is totally undeserving, end of story. It is not so much about Alison herself , but Alison as a symbol for the favoritism and cronyism that is rampant. And Zach or any other crony should not fool themselves into thinking their success is somehow deserved and those without the same artworld success are somehow less-deserving, or out-of-it, or haven't tried hard enough. Really. If that's what you think, I feel sorry for you. Spend the rest of your lives in little cramped Manhattan spaces toasting to each other with glasses of nice wine. Tell each other ingratiatingly over and over how much you respect one another. Keep patting each other on the backs and train other salivating MFA babies to do as you did and you will ensure generations of lackeys to solidify your place in the bullshit artworld pantheon. Good luck to you, you soulless fucks. Just don't act all surprised when others want to laugh at you, satirize you and try to take you down a notch. That's just how it works when you are such a success.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8694556.post-1113077733564746932005-04-09T16:15:00.000-04:002005-04-09T16:15:00.000-04:00Whoa!!!!!

I am completely baffled by Zach's continuous denial of several facts: 1) As far as abstraction goes, Alison's paintings are simply B-A-D (not that it really matters, quality sells less than hype which Zach knows well). 2) Bill Brady's decision to show aforementioned bad abstractions was a political move and it benefited ATM gallery greatly. 3) Zach started LFL with the funding of two partners, both of which completely bankrolled the LFL operation (and created a monster). Zach didn't put a penny down. And although this is perhaps quite a business accomplishment, it is simply untrue to state that he did it alone. What he DID do, is force these two men to take a buyout prematurely and at a pennies on the dollars of their original investments.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8694556.post-1111864111338483862005-03-26T14:08:00.000-05:002005-03-26T14:08:00.000-05:00This is one of the finest things I have ever read....This is one of the finest things I have ever read.

It has been a trying week for me. First, some meanies have been trashing me on some blog site and saying all sorts of nasty things about my artwork. They're just playa hatin' because I got it all going on. I can't help it that my husband loves me so much that he surreptiously arranged for a fellow dealer to give me a solo show even though I just got out of diapers. I wear big girl pants now! Now that ugly skank Roberta Smith wrote some nasty stuff in her review of my show. She called me ham handed, okay I give her that one, but derivative, smelly and fat?! It ain't fair. That's the last time I split a Snickers bar with that bloated cow. The Zachster has been great through the whole ordeal. He said that he would buy me McArthur Genius Award for my birthday. I told him "No, I want to earn it on my own Zachie!," so he said to clean my room everyday for a month and then we'll talk. I agreed to his terms. Only two more weeks to go then I am a genius too!

It is very import to bring your own tooth brush and obtain constent. I do hope Mr. Feuer used a Colgate Soft bristle style.<br /><br />In all seriousness. I think something to keep in mind is the US and THEM perception going on. It's like "patriotism" and "nationalism." If it's you and your country celebrating, you call it "patriotism." If it's them and their country, you call it "nationalism."<br /><br />The art world, and just about any specialised insular world, is no differnet. When it's other people helping out their friends, it's "nepotism," and "croneyism." But if it's you and your pals, it's "helping out a friend," or "supporting the team and sticking together."<br /><br />Of course there are exceptions to this, and it is a simplification. But the art world is not the Bush Whitehouse and Haliburton, or City officals and contractors.<br /><br />So maybe, just band together with your friends and then you can help each other out, and exclude people you think suck. Or maybe you won't even do it to be a jerk. Maybe you'll just support the work of people you know and like instead of looking for people you don't know who think the world owes them.<br /><br />Coagula's "Ask Matt" and "Going Pro" columns have good perspectives on situations like this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8694556.post-1109953979109647512005-03-04T11:32:00.000-05:002005-03-04T11:32:00.000-05:00Martin,
