The "MilkyWay"

Working your way around the galleries and directly to the auction house. The new way?

My mom found this article about Damien Hirst in Vanity Fair and was doing some research about his work this morning. She hadnt really heard of him before, but his work didnt impress her much, more impressed she was by his route. Hmmm, so lets auction something a get 200M for it :)

Here some articles:

Painting...

... has happened mostly on my walls during the last days or even weeks, so apologies for beeing absent (at least from the net-) art scene for a while.
However, you artists with a fine sense for colour around us: I hope you find this one allright as it is now all around me in my new appartment.


Great to have another correspondent from Switzerland now ;-)

louise bourgeois at cheim & read

there's a louise bourgeois show at cheim & read in new york running concurrently with the retrospective at guggenheim. it includes a series of sculptures cast from discarded clothing and ink drawings dealing with pregnancy and motherhood. i thought the installation shot looked great.

previously unseen..

found this on artdaily.org. this is a portrait of francis bacon painted by lucian freud and it is to be auctioned at christie's in october. this is the only good thing about the obscenity of the art market, since other freuds have been selling for crazy prices, others we have never seen keep surfacing. i like this one a lot.

The Art Market?

Hello to my conspiracy group. 

I will have to apologize, there will sadly be no trip to St.Moritz for SAM. My brother has left for Denmark and I am here to watch the dogs on my own. 

But I ran into these two articles so please do enjoy:
