HAPPY HOLIDAYS & WINTER/SPRING 2012 SAVE THE DATES

December 27, 2011

ALL OF US AT CONTEMPORARY WING WOULD LIKE TO WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON

GALLERY NEWS

IVORY TOWER  (RECAP).  Thanks to all who took time from the hustle and bustle of the Miami art fairs to visit “Ivory Tower.”  It was a hugely successful debut for Contemporary Wing, and we would like to extend special thanks for their assistance with this exhibition to:  Deborah Shelton Tynes, Veronica Jackson at The Jackson Design Group, Bill Apter at Avitecture, and John Gargus at Christie Digital.  If you missed the exhibition, please check out an amazing photo-recap, courtesy of “Look into my Owl.”

NEXT GENERATION  (FEBRUARY/MARCH 2012).   Our inaugural exhibition in Washington, D.C., opens February 4, 2012, at 1250 9th Street, NW.  “NEXT GENERATION” complements the Corcoran Gallery of Art’s exhibition of Mera and Don Rubell’s collection, “30 Americans,” on display through February 12, 2012.  For “NEXT GENERATION,” Contemporary Wing invited each artist represented in the “30 Americans” exhibition to identify one or two American artists that he or she believes is a critical “up and comer” of the next generation.  Selected artists from Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Baltimore, and Richmond, VA, among other places, will be announced in January.  A catalog will accompany the exhibition with critiques by Kalia Brooks, Exhibitions Director at MoCADA (Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts) in Brooklyn, NY.
Contemporary Wing would like to extend special thanks to CASRiegler Real Estate Development for its generous support.

I’M COMING HOME.  (MAY/JUNE 2012) Appropriately named for Contemporary Wing’s first exhibition in its home gallery space at 1412 14th Street, “I’m Coming Home” is a solo exhibition of new works by gallery artist, Hedieh Javanshir Ilchi relating to home life and domestic space in Iran.

Did you know…

that Martin Puryear was a native Washingtonian?

Lois Mailou Jones founded the art department at Howard.

Benjamin Edwards lives in Washington, DC.

Paul D. Miller (DJ Spooky) grew up here and

Romare Bearden had his first solo exhibition, Projections, in 1964 at the Corcoran. This was when he introduced to the world his “collage style”.

Miami Bound

November 30, 2007

I’m sorry I haven’t written in a while but holidays + Miami prep = no posting time.

I am sitting here adding centimeters to inches in inventory and converting our price lists into Pounds and Euros (not Rubels,Yen or HK$ – which may have made it onto the score boards of Sotheby’s and Christie’s sales, but I don’t expect to see much of it in Miami) This conversion though especially freaked me out:

$10,000

6800

4800

Thus, if you have a British accent, come to booth 74 for special attention and I’ll send you home with something/somethings good … I expect many foreign buyers next week and I’ll be posting info and pictures from the fair when I can.

Highlights of what we have: a new 30 x 30 Dalek, several 24karatgold on gesso Teo Gonzalez’s, Paul D. Miller aka DJ Spooky video New York is Now which is being featured at the Rubell Collection and the Scope VIP party (and video stills in C-Print to accompany) So come visit me in booth 74 and please bring me a bottle Smart Water if you can – sensory overload, dehydration and grandness!

Example of Dalek’s new acrylic on panel ………… This one is sold, the one I have is going to be a surprise! painting9june07.jpg
