TODD JAMES AND LYDIA FONG

Posted on 2010-07-12

Brush Strokes finds Todd James collaborating with Lydia Fong (aka Barry McGee).

The title of the exhibition “Brush Strokes” is elegantly lifted from the notorious renegade art TV-show that aired on Manhattan public access TV, which in a humorous way interacted with the New York art scene. Brush Strokes is still available on You Tube. Todd James and Lydia Fong have exhibited widely throughout the world, from galleries and museums to public walls in cities of all sizes.
This will be the first collaboration between Todd James and Lydia Fong since they worked together on the travelling museum exhibition Beautiful Losers, curated by Aaron Rose, now also available as a book and a documentary film of the same name. We are excited and honored to present Brush Strokes and look forward to celebrating the opening with you and the artists.

Exhibition runs through to September 4th, 2010

ANDY WARHOL: THE LAST DECADE

Posted on 2010-07-12

Andy Warhol: The Last Decade is the first U.S. museum survey to examine the late work of American artist Andy Warhol (1928–1987).Encompassing nearly fifty works, the exhibition reveals the artist’s vitality, energy, and renewed spirit of experimentation. During this time Warhol produced more works, in a considerable number of series and on a vastly larger scale, than at any other point in his forty-year career. It was a decade of great artistic development for him, during which a dramatic transformation of his style took place alongside the introduction of new techniques.

Exhibition runs through to September 12th, 2010
