~chasing summer’s art !!
ANNE EASTMAN has really got her ‘mobile’ art – down. it still might be beyond the reach of most of ya – but that’s your problem. and at $4,000. (!!) – it’s a no-brainer, probably the sleeper of the season.
ANNE EASTMAN, ‘The Importance of Doing Nothing’, 2009.
Iridescent plexi mobile, wood frame, stretched fabric. 24 x 24 x 24 in. ($4,000)
BILL BRADY/ATM GALLERY – 542 West 24th St – up thru July 23, 2010.
also at ATM – in the back room: PETER SUTHERLAND, ‘Ice Cream and Tacos’, 2010. two different looping videos . . .
and don’t miss the small TOMOO GOKITA, in the office !!
across the street, a big ROY LICHTENSTEIN offering – brought the desire to get back to ATM, and re-check that ANNE EASTMAN mobile out again !!

and, MELISSA BROWN.
. . . they were on their way to the opening of ‘Shred’ at Perry Rubenstein – where we caught, for the first time, the elusive, but mighty talented BRIAN DOUGLAS aka ELBOW-TOE !!
he was way happier hanging out with fans – than being photographed !! no kidding.
but his piece was really great.
BRIAN DOUGLAS (ELBOW-TOE), ‘Bears’, 2010. cut paper glued on birch panel.
35 x 48 in. ($12,000.)
the show also featured a nice SHEPARD FAIREY .
SHEPARD FAIREY, ‘Big Brother is Watching You’, 2010, retired stencil, mixed media on paper.

though I preferred the SWOON offering, ‘HELICOPTER’, 2010.
screenprinting on collaged paper with handpainting. 73 x 52 in. ($14,000.)
esp the access to checking out the collage work !!
along the border edges of the piece.
and the draftsmanship of the screenprinting.
