1949, Geary st., SF (Artist in the San Francisco-2)
 

49 Geary Street - a building in the heart of downtown San Francisco, in his respectable parts. Located on several floors of 20-30 galleries, rooms from small to large. All galleries are engaged only in contemporary art, no antiques.
Here is the photo of the two exhibitions is almost entirely plus something else.

Exhibition "Red" - RED, Toomey Tourell Gallery. The idea is simple, all objects should be red. Many things are small. On paper, the price of 750 dollars, the large size of painting, in the thousands.
1. Jeff Long. Chaco 2, 72x36 inches, 8000 price of $ Gallery believes that this work-in line with Russian Constructivism. I disagree.
2. Home work exhibition-Joe Thurston-Advance Effigy - 68x68 - 10.000 USD Work on plywood, relief, small parts, all carved in wood, then painted.
Further, the authors did not write it-all modern authors, not necessarily from California.

Exhibition at Jack Fisher Gallery - Cold Comfort, Richard Basset and Chris Crites. Two artists in one project , called " a cooling comfort . Exhibition : I liked and seemed very Russian , Moscow .
Idea - terrorism , hostage murders of prominent people have become commonplace piece of modern interior , they create an emotional comfort of modern life , even from the comfort of this routine is blowing cold and death.
Richard Bassett makes cushions , hand- embroidered with a cross . Motives for recording surveillance cameras , terrorists , hostage-taking , footage of the Kennedy assassination - it all turns into embroidery , then plump pillows for interior decoration and create home coziness and comfort.
Chris Krayts painted portraits of police reports with bright cheerful colors on kraft paper .
I give details of embroidery to make it clear how it's done .

We like also like to paint on kraft paper , feel the difference.
1 and 4 - is a large, more than a meter .
Jack Fisher gallerist witty , and appreciating the idea of ​​an unexpected angle . After March 5, he will have a new show , once again with an unexpected view on habitual things . May have time to shoot .
I told him that the idea of cushioning , and genius , in my opinion , would have resonated with the Moscow public. I will send it to him a link to this post if anyone has experience of this exhibition share .

photographer Michael Wolf - Metropolis - Robert Koch Gallery.

A few galleries are photo exhibitions - that one of them.

Huge photos of the heavily pixilated, again, the effect of cameras.

But there is a photo and no pixilation, amazing in its beauty.

Here is the details, too.

And finally, a few works on paper one of the artist.
I do not remember the name and picture, but works great!

Dear!
And why no one expresses an opinion, it works bad or good?
relevant whether such work for us or we do not need a football?

And then I get the impression that I did not wanted a job.

Seriy, no matter what were all these works, one that you do picture stories for the forum straight from America - GREAT! I, for one, very interesting. In general, I must say, expanding the boundaries of a scanning event captures the world of art, overseas news of your hands take it as an exclusive :) "So thank you very much! Please go to the extent possible.

I-V, thanks! But actually I'm wondering about to view the forum reports from Vladimir Winery, EM, our turnover in the market sovriska, here's today's U.S. turnover sovriska-what's the difference?
 The first thing you notice about me - carefully, with great love, work with the material. Each material turns his noble side.
I have not met any broken chairs, shelves with garbage, broken basins, this is not there. Also, all works very well presented, furnished, published a catalog with prices, in each gallery, he lies in sight, you can pick up and walk with him. Something like this I have seen in Art + Art.
In painting, there is no depiction at all. Painting is again hard work with the material, paint and canvas-paper.

range of interests of our tekuchkoy too small. Such is the specificity. But those who theme is close, look with pleasure. Do not worry, you are doing useful work.

Thank you for reporting!
 

Very interesting reading your comments.

You surely noticed that the quality of work is not in last place.

This peculiarity is not our artists. "

Respect to the viewer or potential buyer.
The idea of the idea, but the quality required.

Traditional realism is not at all?

Rather a lot of realism, but in other places. Galleries clearly oriented in the directions. There, in California near David Knockan and I think not without followers. Wyeth was a little to the north. There, everything is there.

I, for example, your photo essay of the American routine more interesting to watch.
Goodness knows why, may get the impression that it is primary and our modern yet Peripherals? That I can not put a diagnosis, and thought in the ear.
Pillows liked the theme is in the air and in this embodiment solved interesting and expressive.

Hello, Seriy!
Wonderful stories.
Thank you.

And the term "routine sovriska" (apparently you can use as a "routine of art") -
 it vaabsche even difficult to measure the scale.
Previously, for some reason often sounded the expression "routine devoured."
With regard to the situation - "you corrupted turnover of art."

I imagine the artist standing in the morning in a dressing gown in front of the window, which overlooks
 beautiful view of the spring, Moscow, and holding a cup of yogurt,
reciting (by Mayakovsky):

Turnover sovriska -
 _________________poboku,
Today is a day for
 _____________Bolshogo Arts,

And I will write
_______pro main feeling.


And with his head in work ;)

Jukov, for sure, somewhere realism is, I just have not met yet.
IMHO, the U.S. realism primary-m e as a qualitative picture of something, generally not considered art. Realism, as a secondary reaction, as a pose, it is already regarded as art. May be more correct to call it postrealizmom. Actually, Figurative Movement (Dibenkorn, T. Brown, J. Park, etc.) arose as a response to the New York School of abstract expressionism, t e all-abstractionist, and we - figurativisty (realists)!
