Trash is a treasure for this California artist. He takes the most mundane, ignored and discarded piece of trash and elevates it via repetition into a field of vibrating consistency. Cool show, check out the “White Album match cover piece” when you go. Through February 14, 2015
Doze Green

Early breakdancer and train car painter from the 80’s showcasing his more mature style. Cubist and Picassoish influences with an urban vibe. Cool show, check it out.

Anton Kern Gallery NYC
Very sparkly and full of fluorescent colors. The paintings feel very now and edgy and glittery being up to no good. Can’t trust the glitter. Can’t trust the sheen. There is danger lurking behind these paintings. Don’t get too close or they will bite. Check it out.

Great new shows and buildings are open to preview great art. There is a new building for Anselm Kiefer that is sited on campus. 3 amazing pieces that speak to the healing process of Germany sponsored by the Hall Art Foundation. Also worth checking out is the Octogon Room which was inspired by true life events. Lots of Dioramas onsite as well as Live music and outdoor events (we just missed a live BECK show). Put this on your map. Also a 25 year sited show by Sol LeWitt. Amazing. Check it out.
Hang Over—
It seems like the spring art season has come to a close. Hangover indeed. What a great rush of art and friends and fun. Limited recommended events this Thursday night. It might rain… Anyway Meredith Pardue has a beautiful show up at Kathryn Markel. Two can’t miss shows for Saturday are Sterling Ruby at Hauser & Wirth and Kara Walker’s A Subtlety at the expiring Domino Sugar Factory in Brooklyn. Check it out.
