Curated by Peter Makebish. The exhibition includes artists Donald Baechler, Ross Bleckner, Kadar Brock, Brendan Cass, Sante D’Orazio, Matt Jones, John Newsom, Hermann Nitsch, Bill Saylor, Kenny Scharf, Ouattara Watts, and Dustin Yellin

This is all the art I could see.  Highlights include Greg Lamarche in the Anonymous Booth, Evol, and some great Frank Sinatra paintings.  Our girls at Jackie Paper held it down too.

The cover formula worked

From Wikipedia:

“were a series of budget compilation cover albums of current chart hits recorded by anonymous session singers and musicians released on the Hallmark record label. They had initially reached the charts but were later disallowed due to a change in the criteria for entering the charts. These albums continued to be produced until the early 1980s, when the advent of compilation albums featuring the original versions of hits, such as the Now That’s What I Call Music series, led to a steep decline in their popularity.”

Our friends at Anonymous Gallery just opened an online store.  It’s a one-stop-shop for all Art-related products.

I meant to shoot a video of this at our buddy Joseph‘s booth but, I was pretty hungover when the idea happened.  This sculpture is bananas and if I remember correctly, Charles Saatchi copped it.

My friend Joseph was telling me about these earlier in the month, so it is nice to actually see it instead of visualize.  Available through Cereal Art, the ceramic Object To Enjoy comes in 4 different colors, each in an edition of 200 and measures 9 x 5 x 15.5 inches.

Opening this Saturday at Joshua Liner Gallery are two solo shows featuring new wave surrealism by Mike Davis (Stories From the Other Side of the Bridge) and Heidi Taileffer (An Uncanny Lineup of Serendipitous Connections).  We’ve been into Mike Davis’ work for ages and are pretty amazed by what we are seeing from Taileffer.  that being said, the show has mad promise.  Check it out for yourself.

NY Mag helps to feed the flames.

“Last fall, the How’s My Dealing? blog (which rates gallerists’ treatment of their artists according to anonymous informants) began a gallery “DeathWatch” thread—and dealers are on edge over its retailing of unsubstantiated rumors.”

I checked out the site and it’s pretty interesting. My only criticism is it’s really hard to read and navigate. You can decide for yourself. Check out the NYmag article and check out How’s my Dealing.

I was unable to make it to the Street installation of Containers but, Greg Lamarche has posted some flicks of his part on his blog.  I really dig how he was able to translate found material into his own style.  The opening of the Gallery installation at Anonymous is tonight from 6 to 9 pm, I suggest you stop by.

Previewing tonight and opening tomorrow is Dan Witz’s latest show ‘Night Paintings’ at Stolen Space in London.  Witz’s oil paintings are unbelievable in person, so if you happen to be in the future capital of finance stop by for a look.  A quick preview and press release after the jump.
