I’m off to Miami tomorrow morning to begin the whirlwind week of art, smoozing and a little bit of partying…Stay tuned for lots of photos of the scene… This is the Miami I know best as I’m indoors most of the day. This is the Miami I catch a glimpse of under dark sunglasses with [...]


I am happy to announce today that our current show of recent work by David X. Levine, Brain Wilson Loves You, got a critics pick review on Artforum.com. Aside from our professional connection, I have long been a huge fan of David’s work and my husband and I own 4 of his earlier pieces (if you [...]


Are you currently in a Master’s of Fine Arts program? If so, you’ve got to send in your work for New American Paintings annual MFA competition. This year, Raphaela Platow, Director and Chief Curator at the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati will serve as our juror. The MFA Annual edition has always been an incredibly strong book for [...]


Tonight Steven Zevitas Gallery will hold a reception for David X. Levine: Brian Wilson Loves You. This is David’s 3rd solo show with us and the new work displays an impressive new direction for him.

Hello Miami…

05Nov09

So, it’s that time of year again when we start our frantic Miami Beach art fair planning. For those of you who don’t know, every December one of the largest international art fairs based in Basel Switzerland comes to Miami Beach. The event has become so huge over the years that it now includes over [...]


From my job at New American Paintings and my nightly internet surfing and blogging I have a pretty wide view of the zeitgeist of current trends. For a while it was all about faux naïve, kitsch and lots of wildlife (especially creatures with antlers for some reason) but lately I’ve noticed a big trend towards [...]


I love magazines from mainstream monthlies to the artsy and obscured. File magazine created by  Fabio Sebastianelli and Thorbjørn Ankerstjerne based in London is one of the most interesting publications I’ve been introduced to in while. File covers all topics of visual communication including graphic design, art, photography, fashion and moving image. The 124 page publication is beautifully [...]


The art movement that began during World War I in Zürich can still be felt in art and design today—especially in it’s use of collage. Dadaist ideas of anti-politics, anti-art and anything anti-establishment were revolutionary at the time and encompassed all arts including literature, poetry, and music. I think many don’t even know about, and/or underestimate, [...]


Earlier this month the Warhol/Icon: the Creation of Image show opened at the Byzantine and Christian Museum in Athens. A rather progressive, and entirely smart, show for a historic museum that houses the largest collection of Byzantine icons. The show focuses on Warhol’s portraiture, exploration of the iconic image and his obsession with fame. The show includes [...]


We just received advance copies of Studio Visit volumes 7 & 8 yesterday and I am really pleased with how they look—especially the covers. Our newest project was created in response to the incredible interest in our founding magazine, New American Paintings, for which we receive an average of 1000 applicants per competition but can only select 40.
