On the way to Independent art fair
On the way to Independent art fair we caught Brad Troemel climbing away on his Furby holders at Zach Feuer.
I popped to the back room for some light relief and discovered the very last Jon Rafman Google Map Work. Will be sad to see the end of this body of work.
Enthusiastic collectors queued in the slushy snow whilst I hid in the Troemel sanctuary until the coast was clear.
Marques Penteado’s work at Mendes Wood was incredible but too rude and raw for the Collection. ‘Storyboard Javier’ was fantastic.
Also very much liked the ‘Pé de Jonas’ collage.
Caught a brief glimpse of Croy Nielsen Gallery where Hugh Scott-Douglas was showing his strong body of work based on consumables.
Marjorie Strider’s ‘Come Hither’ from 1963 was a discovery for a number of us.
Wonderful Ethan Wagner and Thea Westreich were hugged by Stefan Tcherepnin’s beautiful cuddle monster.
The Still House Group were showing another really successful exhibition. Entitled ‘Varela versus’ it contained a number of new and strong works produced specifically for the show. Louis Eisner had started on a new strain with paintings based on hot tubs. It was lovely to see everyone again after such a short time, I even met some of the mums.
