NYC ARMORY SHOW MARCH 8-11, 2012
The Armory Show is the largest annual art event in New York City. The show is divided into two main categories: Contemporary Art (held in Pier 94) and Modern Art (which is in Pier 92 respectively). This year’s show will feature slightly fewer art galleries than last year’s 274 total, however the plan is to have larger gallery spaces and easier viewing and navigation for visitors (the two Piers will finally be connected via a passageway too this year!). At the Armory Show you’ll find a good mix of both international and national art galleries and artists at a variety of price points. This is a MUST SEE if you’re an art fan who is finding it difficult to make it out to Art Basel and Art Basel Miami.
TICKETING: Advance tickets are currently unavailable for 2012, however you can get tickets at the Box Office throughout the span of the show.
General Admission US $30
Students US $10
Groups (10+) US $15
Run of Show Pass (4 day) US $60
The Armory Show / Volta NY Pass US $40
M-ART-CH MADNESS NYC 2012
If you’re into art, March in NYC is the place for you to be! This month we’ve got those five precious art events that only happen during this glorious but HECTIC time of year: The Whitney Biennial and 5+ major art fairs. My recommendation: go to as many events as possible until you permanently see Roy Lichtenstein prints on the back of your eye-lids – true story. So get out there, buy tickets, stay hydrated and over-indulge yourself. Happy hunting!

Food has been an integral subject in art for centuries. We’ve seen it portrayed in still lifes, as sculptures, in photography and in performances. In contemporary art , artists such as Ed Ruscha (who has colored his paintings with spinach, wine, and bolognese sauce), Vik Muniz (who has created artwork using chocolate syrup) and Antony Gormley (who made a bed out of toast for Tate Britain in 2004) found ways to incorporate ‘live’ produce and food into their work.
By immortalizing what has essentially become decomposed, Max Glaser is able to present wasteful byproduct as a rich, colorful and abstract body of work. There’s also something sneakily ironic about turning a worthless material no longer pleasurable to the senses into something beautiful which you can purchase and admire.

PAD NYC : 11/11-11/14/2011
N8 and I went to PAD at the Park Avenue Armory on Sunday (at Park Ave. & 67th St., New York). There was an excellent assortment of art and furniture available, however mostly at the secondary market price point ($$$$$ – It’s not on Park Ave for nothing!). Personal favs from the show included two Lucio Fontana sculptures at L&M Arts:
And and a contemporary, 3-D take of Toile de Jouy wallpaper by Beth Katleman at Todd Merrill Studio Contemporary (a new artist find for me!). All of the figurines are made in ceramic:
