It would be interesting to know if there are other examples of this form and to verify their dating. If there are others, were any reproduced before WW II?

[...] Bekman is among the few dealers experimenting with on-line models and seems to be in the vanguard of finding commercial success. She raised $800,000 in venture capital funds last fall, which I reported on here. [...]

I love love love these. Thanks for doing the little write up. I found the exhibit description on FLAG’s site previously, but it didn’t mention the billboards. This is the apex of public art.

Comment on Gursky’s Gift to Madonna Hits Auction Block by Madonna is Not Sentimental « Art Market Monitor

Madonna is Not Sentimental « Art Market Monitor — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 14:46:33 +0000

[...] Lindsay Pollock doesn’t understand why Madonna has no love for Andreas Gursky. That’s because a work that the artist gave to the singer is now for sale in London with a dedication on the back of photograph: Gursky’s nine-foot tall photograph of a Madonna concert, which the photographer had given to Madonna as a gift, is up for sale at Sotheby’s in London on Feb. 10. Madonna I’s pre-sale estimate is 900,000 to 1.3 million pounds, or up to $2.1 million. The edition selling at Sotheby’s is dedicated “For Madonna” on the reverse side. Nevertheless, Madonna — who is known to have a taste for Kahlo, Picasso and others — either gave away or sold the photo in 2005, according Sotheby’s catalog. That person — could it be ex-husband Guy Ritchie?–is the now selling the piece at auction. [...]

Too bad…. I don’t believe that the NY Social Diary is the best venue for antiques news, when compared to the Times. I hope it works out for her.

Comment on Harlem Renaissance to Hammons at Swann by Afro-Am Continues to Find Strength at Swann « Art Market Monitor

[...] Lindsay Pollock highlights Swann Galleries’ upcoming African American sale. The latest edition of the biannual sale is 163 lots and estimated as high as $1.9m. Recent sales have done well but consistently failed to breakout in a meaningful way. This may be a reflection of the heavy institutional interest in the field. Nonetheless, the February sale is back up to early 2009 levels in terms of lots after steep decline in October of 31%: Star lots range from Malvin Gray Johnson’s soulful Harlem Renaissance era Swing Low, Sweet Chariot (est. $200,000-$250,000) to Barkley L. Hendrick’s groovy 1975 Jackie Sha-La-La (est. $40,000-$60,000). [...] Johnson’s 1928-1929 Swing Low, Sweet Chariot, based on the Negro spiritual, is among just 60 known works by Johnson, who died at the age of 44. The painting was the first by an African-American artist to receive critical and commercial success in the U.S., according to Swann, winning the Harmon prize in 1929. The canvas was recently re-discovered [...]
