Gary Snyder Gallery

Sven Lukin, Tucson, 1966

Gary Snyder Gallery, at Armory Show... in the Modern section... great booth. I liked it so much I later went to the gallery in Chelsea and saw a good Max Gimblett show.


Thomas Downing - ah okay, I am looking at my previous Armory posts and seeing I have featured this gallery before... Thomas Downing, at Armory w/Gary Snyder, 2009.

Ron Johnson??? Waht! Totally unexpected nice surprise. One of my favorite RVA artists.

George Sugarman - loved his double-show at Washburn a couple years ago... he is now represented by Gary Snyder.

Sven Lukin - this is the artist with the super-cool Logan's Run piece in the fantastic Empire State Plaza collection.

(+ Gary Snyder represents Al Loving... another favorite)

Armory Show 2012

Nicole Eisenman, at Susanne Vielmetter.

The Armory Show, 2012 - pretty much a dud this year. All the good galleries I am used to seeing are waiting for Frieze week. There were a lot of 'filler' galleries, making the Armory nothing special and definitely not cool.

BUT here are some highlights!


Thomas Ovlisen, at V1 Gallery. They are reversible and up-endable... it's OK to pick them up and turn them around.

This was part of the Nordic section, but he shows in NYC with Klaus von Nichtssagend... his show Tomato just closed... I have some fun pics on my flickr.


Arlene Shechet, at Jack Shainman, being visited by Glenn Lowry.


Bjarne Melgaard - the Armory was so lame I am showing a sofa...

(this was actually a very good all-Melgaard booth)


Eric Doeringer

- I didn't take any photos but the Tony Matelli mirrors with Leo Koenig were good.

Don Rubell is researching anaba and will soon be contacting all of my favorite artists. Good Luck!

Anton Kern, at Armory

Anne Collier, at Anton Kern, at Armory Show - it's a photo of a photo push-pinned to a white wall, the bottom black "horizon" line is the studio floor... you can see some scuffs on the wall.

The moon was already so far away.
