David Smith: Cubes and Anarchy

The Whitney Museum of American Art has always been one of our favorite places to visit.  Currently on exhibition is the work of the great American sculptor, David Smith (1906-1965).  Cubes and Anarchy offers new insights into the artist's career-long involvement with geometric forms and reveals the artist's iconic late masterpieces to be continuations of his long-standing explanation of geometric abstraction. The exhibition includes over sixty sculptures, paintings and drawings, as well as rarely-seen sketchbooks and photographs. The show schedule is October 6, 2011 - January 8, 2012.

Thomas P. Campbell Launches Met's newly designed website

The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Thomas P. Campbell has stressed two priorities since becoming Director and CEO: scholarship and accessibility.  He recently participated in the Met's "Connections" interview just in time for the launch of the Met's newly designed website (which we love).  Campbell tackles the topic "The Edge" as in "the edge of art exhibited at the Met."  It's impressive how quickly Mr. Campbell is living up to his word. The overwhelming success of the recent Alexander McQueen exhibition catapulted the Museum into the international spotlight and attracted a new legion of fans.

Preview what's on exhibition now and coming up this fall.  On the newly designed site, one can also browse complete listings of the Museum's catalogued collections, explore an interactive map -- with descriptions of every gallery in the Main Building and at The Cloisters -- suggested itineraries to help you plan your visit, special content for Members, and much more.

MOCA's Director Jeffrey Deitch, included in WSJ Magazine's October Men's Style Issue

Los Angeles's Museum of Contemporary Art Director, Jeffrey Deitch, is the subject of WSJ. Magazine's TRACKED feature this month, online today and on newsstands tomorrow, October 1.

In the feature we learn that in a little more than 12 hours, Deitch oversees 8,424 visitors (25 of whom arrive by skateboard), is approached by 22 fans, sends 71 emails, answers 14 phone calls, has an afternoon snack at Yogurtland in Little Tokyo, and retires early, at 9:30 p.m., to prepare for a 5 a.m. tour he will give to Dasha Zhukova in the morning.

In order to “track” every move Mr. Deitch makes, WSJ. Magazine reporter, Stinson Carter, had to spend an entire day with him on the last day of his first major exhibit: “Art in the Streets.” According to Carter: “The only thing harder that day than getting into the packed museum was trying to keep up with its director.”

Get to know: Nora Kimball Mulheren

In her paintings, Nora Kimball Mulheren comments on the unattainable ideals of perfection portrayed in the media. She begins with advertisements taken from fashion magazines and alters them to create wrinkles and creases that professionals would remove in the editing process. Her background in graphic design and illustration can be seen in this body of work along with a love/hate relationship with fashion.

Nora Mulheren received her BFA from Salve Regina University in Newport, Rhode Island, and an MFA candiadate at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia where she was selected for the painting department’s New York Workspace residency at the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts in New York City for fall of 2010.

Inspired by the notion of discovery through reflections, Celia Rogge takes a personal, inquisitive lens to everyday life. She focuses on finding beauty in the detail. She finds the hidden obvious in her work, the sublime in detail and the emotional in the unemotional. In her vibrant manifestation, New York Reflections, she applies her reflections to New York architecture and street photography and elevates the contours of this metropolis to another perceptive level. Before unseen ornamental structures filtered through the transformative power of light become visible from behind the apparent and engage the viewer in new ways.
Born in Germany, Celia Rogge has lived and worked in New York for over a decade but has also called Berlin, London, Washington and Montreux her home. She has built a strong international reputation as a photographer over the past 10 years she has had her work exhibited by some of Germany’s prominent contemporary galleries and exhibition spaces in Berlin and Bremen: Galerie Friedmann Hahn, Galerie SchulzOnehundred, Veronica Pohle and Daub & Soehne.

New art exhibited online from Meredith Hanson

Today we noticed new artwork by Meredith Hanson.  Hanson graduated from Wheaton College in Norton, MA as a Studio Art major and an Art History minor. Art has been her passion ever since she was very young and it will always be a very important part of her life.  She has experimented with various mediums over the years such as charcoal, watercolor, pastel, and oil paints. Before she was accepted to Wheaton, she spent several years working with pastels and focused primarily on still lifes and eventually moved on to landscapes. She loved working with pastels but felt that she should definitely try using oil paints. Her freshman year of college she was the only freshman to be accepted into one of the painting classes offered during the spring semester.  She was surrounded by juniors and seniors but this only encouraged her to work that much harder as she was completely dedicated to her work.

We have created a roster of some of the leading emerging artists around the globe. To search our database, visit our art directory to sort by price, size, medium or theme.  Empty Wall? Give it Love.

Marilyn to Oprah: new art from the Brazilian artist Ricardo Bellino

It's Monday and we have a new Brazilian artist to introduce who has a fascinating story of art, real estate and supermodels.  The idea of cultivating challenging concepts goes along with Ricardo Bellinos background as an individual who sees opportunity where others may not. In Brazil, he partnered with John Casablancas and opened Elite Models in Sao Paulo which was successful in launching Gisele Bundchen and Adriana Lima. Years later Bellino met with Donald Trump, who told Bellino he had only three minutes to give his pitch, which resulted in a world record for the fastest multi-million dollar deal and Trump partnering with Bellino on a Brazilian real estate venture. From the experience, Bellino wrote a best selling book, “You Have Three Minutes” (McGraw-Hill). 


The Deal Maker turned Art Maker by recycling 150,000 Nespresso coffee capsules and creating his first art project called "Pixtures" having his exhibition premiere being held in the historic pop culture arena of SoHo. Bellino’s creative inspiration expanded to almost one hundred pop culture figures, from art, entertainment, music, sports, politics and personalities. In the SoHo temporary installation built exclusevely to display Bellino's art exhibit comprised by seventeen 6.5 foot square images, including John F. Kennedy, Ghandi, Marilyn Monroe, Ray Charles, James Taylor, Valentino, Oprah and President Obama. Bellino contemplated the fast paced world of digitized images and envisioned a concept representative of functional object and celebrity defined as a reinterpretation of our cultural process. The Nespresso coffee capsules depict colors point by point -- up close it is a myriad of perfectly aligned colorful shapes, but step back and the iconic faces materialize.  Prices are available upon request only at KiptonART.  Email us (Bellino request) to inquire and click here to view works for sale.

On the Brink at Dean Project Featuring New Works by Tim Berg & Rebekah Myers

Last night, Dean Project opened "On the Brink" featuring the second solo exhibition of the collaborative team: Tim Berg and Rebekah Myers. Continuing with their exploration of ideas of material value and the consequences of the actions we take to satisfy our desires, Berg-Myers have created a new body of works. This current exhibition is meant to provide the viewers with objects-situations where our choices are put to the test in how we understand the value of the things we do. Some of the works in the exhibition have titles such as “All that glitters” and “As good as gold” which echo marketing tools employed in our contemporary culture to attract with a promise of guaranteed satisfaction if consumed.  Other works, such as “Against the tide “ and “Souvenirs” are examples of how the polar bear could become extinct do to our treatment of the environment. Eventually nature will remain present in our culture in the form of man- made objects that represent what once was real. These man-made objects end up in our homes where we will value them without realizing that they represent the real thing. The exhibition dates are: September 15 - October 29, 2011 and Dean Project is located at 511 West 25th Street, 2nd Floor in New York City.

Every day, we see new art images uploaded on the site.  Recently, Swedish artist Helena Blomljus registered with KiptonART.  Helena started her career as an artist by forming the interiors in a room to enlist all the senses by transforming an old night club into a palace taken from the old tale Thousand and One Night, which she called My Heaven.  She made several installations around Sweden in offices, parks, private homes and weddings while then she started to have more traditional exhibitions all over Sweden. Galleries and town halls, restaurants and hospitals have shown her paintings. One of the reasons for Helena starting to create her paintings was that she got cancer 2002. Creating became a healing process to her, and she has continued that process after having beaten cancer.  She lives in the countryside on the west-coast of Sweden and is married with four children. At their little farm they have horses, sheep, hens and cats, which are walking outside the large windows of her studio right in the middle of nature.  Learn more about her work here.

Fashion Designer Michael Bastian Picks his KiptonART TOP 10 & Kicks-off NY Fashion Week

KiptonART is always excited for New York Fashion Week.  For Spring 2012, we caught up with 2011 CFDA Menswear Fashion Designer of the Year Winner, MICHAEL BASTIAN.  In 2010, Mr. Bastian collaborated with GANT and the line, GANT by Michael Bastian, is widely distributed in over 60 countries worldwide, in both GANT stores and independent retailers.

KiptonART Featured Artist NADIA MARTINEZ

Featured Artist NADIA MARTINEZ

What is one of your favorite past exhibitions?
In 2003, I saw Leonardo da Vinci, Master Draftsman at the Met and Matthew Barney at the Guggenheim, the same day. Amazing contrast but at the same time very similar; both doing things that were not common or “normal” at their respective times.

Why do you work in this particular medium?
Every time I start a new body of work I try to use a different medium, it gives me energy and inspiration. Mediums are to me like languages and by using them I feel I am creating a new “Culture”.

ART TALK with Artist Avery McCarthy

ART TALK with Avery McCarthy

Avery McCarthy, There Are No Stars Here XX. 40" x 40", photography.

What is the last exhibition you attended?

The last exhibition I attended was the Alexander McQueen show at the Met. It's already had praise heaped on it from every direction, but nonetheless I think it is one of the best shows in the last several years and its very exciting to see a museum like the Met highlighting fashion that is approached from such a fantastically artistic standpoint.

Do you collect anything? What are some of your collections?
I collect star charts, subway maps from cities that I visit, emerging art, and recently I've been collecting images of "you are here" signs. I love maps and diagrams; anything visual that represents something physical. I also trade for and buy art whenever I can, I collect work I wish I had made. I have a philosophy that once someones done something, there's no sense in doing it again unless you can do it significantly better. My art collection reminds me of all the things that people have done better and more beautifully than I ever could.

What was the first work of art you purchased?
It depends, I rarely actually buy art, usually I trade. The first work I officially collected was a piece by a glass artist named Josh Simpson, a small circular red planet. It's still on my mantle at home.

What artists most inspire or influence you? Why?
I would say Yves Klein and Anish Kapoor are my biggest influences, because I love the direct way that they deal with scale and metaphysical ideas. But I also like some of the more cynical things that Damien Hirst has explored recently, treating high valuations as a sort of per formative element to his work. I love anything that gets a strong reaction--I can't stand Jeff Wall's work, but I like it because I have such a negative reaction to it. Indifference is the worst thing an artwork can provoke.

What work from your Kiptonart portfolio is your favorite? why? What does it mean to you?
The piece titled "Light Field (with ring)" is my favorite. It's a large canvas, filled with LEDs, with a ring, also made of LEDs hung about two feet in front of it. When the room is dim, it produces this amazing optical effect as you walk around. I think it is probably the most successful work I've ever produced, part of me hopes that no one ever buys it so that I can keep it on my wall forever.

KiptonART Featured Artist David Mellen

KiptonART Featured Artist DAVID MELLEN

At what age did you know you were an artist? What was the first work of  art you created?
I was in my twenties when I made a sculpture "Breath I Dry Up". Before that time, I knew I wanted to be an artist but after that, I understood that I needed to be an artist. It has nothing to do with making a living or anything like that; I understood that this was something I required in order to live.

Edie Nadelhaft, Big Cherry Biter No. 3, 36" x 36", Oil on Canvas

Why do you work in this particular medium? Oil paint is sexy and it takes a beating, by which I mean you can work back into it, unlike paper which is very unforgiving. The qualities that I found most frustrating when I first tried it are precisely what I value most now. The viscosity, the fact that it's slow drying-these are aspects of oil paint that make it so magical: juxtapositions, edges, depth, luster... And smells great too.

KiptonART Featured Artist Jenni Crain

KiptonART Featured Artist Jenni Crain

Why do you work in this particular medium?
I never want to limit myself to one medium because I feel that by doing so I am shutting myself off to countless discoveries. At this stage in my career I believe it is crucial that I explore and experiment. As I mature, perhaps my work will begin to drift towards one end of the spectrum as opposed to another, but I ultimately feel that exploration of medium will remain necessary in order to enhance the quality of my work from project to project.
