Sterling Ruby

Sunrise Sunset

Hauser & Wirth

Inventive sculptures and paintings on a tremendous scale. He’s the badboy of the art world and explores almost every possible substance known to man. It’s amazing what springs from his mind, truly original. Check it out.

Andy Warhol

Piss Paintings

The new Skarstedt Gallery in Chelsea opened with a comparison show between Yves Klein and Andy Warhol entitled Fire Paintings (Klein) and Oxidation Paintings (Andy). I’ve heard about the Piss paintings before, but had never seen them hung in a gallery. They are very reminiscent of abstract expressionist work, and are quite stunning in their coloration. I particularly like the photo of Andy as you walk in the gallery of him sitting on the toilet. It works. Check it out.

Hiroshi Sugimoto

Still Life

Pace

Stunning gelatin silver prints taken of the American Museum of Natural History. The slighting is so flat and even, you really lose the sense of reality. Not really sure wether it is real or not. These are very large scale prints and are hung very high so that you are always looking up. Check it out.

Ken Price

Large Sculptures and Specimen Rocks

These are the last sculptures Ken created before he died in 2012. It’s kind of a mini survey of his work. The specimen rocks were created in the 1980’s and are very angular and colorful forms. The large sculptures really have to be seen in person. They are displayed amazingly and are so visceral that you want to reach out and hug them. Check it out.

Amusement style approach to small sculpture. Enter the gallery through a rotating bingo/painting wall and enjoy pony tails bobbing, video performance, heated water and a guarded hole. Super Fun!
