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.
For more information about the gallery and exhibitions, please visit contemporarywing.com or contact info@contemporarywing.com

Have you visited the Corcoran’s exhibition The American Evolution: A History Through Art and noticed the familiar voice on the audio tour? This month’s ARTnews reveals that it’s the voice of Project Runway’s Tim Gunn. Gunn, who was a BFA graduate of the Corcoran College of Art & Design in 1976, has now re-affiliated himself with the institution, giving lectures and lending his voice. Gunn goes on to further support DC’s art community in ARTnews by discussing his donation of a work by Anne Truitt, his art school inspiration and senior thesis advisor, to the Hirshhorn after learning of her retrospective there in ’09.
I wonder if “make it work” or “this worries me” was coined by Truitt as she reviewed his student work…

to buy your Artini tickets!
Don’t forget that Fall Fete tickets sold out last year creating a black market …
Did you know that in SE Asia (most notably Thailand & Burma) due to censorship and isolation paint, canvases and other art supplies must be bought on the black market … one would argue that this is probably a good indicator that these “emerging markets” aren’t quite ready to open up

Immediately after the death/sucide of Jeremy Blake was announced there was a spike in readers brought to the blog by search terms such as “buy jeremy blake”, “buy blake prints”, “jeremy blake prices” etc.
At cocktail parties I’ve heard from amateur specullectors that an artists’ death is the easiest way for their art collections to appreciate. While basic Keynesian theory supports that, it’s not always the case. Thus, the following information may be disappointing to some, but I promise it is true and common practice:
Jeremy Blake, whose suicide last summer was all but incomprehensible to the career-obsessed art world, has had his beautifully mounted retrospective homage at Kinz, Tillou and Feigen Gallery [his dealers] … Fans may be slightly daunted however by the fact Blake did not often sign his digital prints, they have no edition number and, choicest of all, there are no actual, vulgar prices given for any works. Instead you have to leave your name and contacts and wait to see if you are deemed suitable. It’s an elegant system that keeps collectors on tenterhooks.
Don’t Call Us, We’ll Call You by Adrian Dannatt – The Art Newspaper, Jan 08, p. 36
Luckily there is still a way to enjoy Blake’s work where right of entry does not rely on pedigree or contacts. Check out Wild Choir: Cinematic Portraits by Jeremy Blake at the Corcoran Gallery of Art through March 2nd.

Our own, Dr. Paul Greenhalgh, director of The Corcoran Gallery of Art, got a great sound bite in this month’s The Art Newspaper when asked if he was related to the infamous Greenhalgh family of forgers. The Greenhalgh’s, who have deceived many prominent dealers and museums, have most recently made headlines with a Gauguin forgery in the collection of The Art Institute of Chicago.
(Our) Greenhalgh says he has no relation to the forger family, but that “…there is actually a Paul Greenhalgh who was a star of one of Britain’s soap operas, ‘Coronation Street’ (set in the North of course). Sadly I am not him either, though I am sure it helped my cause at home over the years that a lot of people thought a TV star was writing to them.” (The Art Newspaper, Jan ’08, pg.2)

I get alot of emails regarding which young benefactor group to join in DC. There are several to choose from and if you are familiar with some of my past posts it’s obvious which one I believe in enough to be affiliated – and that is the 1869 Society at The Corcoran Gallery of Art.
For several reasons: The programming at the Corcoran Gallery is the most progressive; Yes, I’m sure moms in Virginia are more pumped about the Ansel Adams show than me, but an evening with Annie Leibovitz or Jeremy Blake is much more enticing than another Turner Retrospective.
The other members are commmitted and vibrant supporters of the regional art community. You can always count on meeting someone enriching and enjoying some event or exhibition that has its finger on the pulse of what’s important in today’s art world – not what was fashionable 400 years ago.
1869′s first event is the scavenger hunt during the cultural cocktails evening:
Cultural Cocktails
Thursday, October 18 at 6:30 p.m.
1869 Society FREE, Members $10, Public $24
What was the age of the photographer in the oldest of the prints in Ansel Adams? Which Annie Leibovitz photograph is being exhibited to the public for the first time here at the Corcoran? Join us for Find the Photograph, a Corcoran scavenger hunt on October 18, for a chance to win complimentary tickets to the 1869 Society’s Fall Fête: Natural Glamour in Black and White. Light Hors d’oeuvres and open bar.
Hope to see you there!
Annie Leibovitz’s renditon of the 1869 Society:
Just kidding – its from her Marie Antoinette shoot – sorry guys, Kirsten Dunst is not a member

Smart move – just spoke with one of the professors who was getting ready for first day of classes today – and the Corcoran is in the planning stages of offering an MFA degree. Great news for all of us in the DC art community and another example of how the Corcoran is ready to change with the times, to progress.
Art schools have to offer an MFA program to attract high level professors and serious students; I think area students were torn between, do I get a BFA from the Corcoran and then move away for my MFA, or, do I stay and go to AU for my MFA (and then get to have my senior thesis show in the Katzen Center)
and they were choosing the AU route.
I’m curious to see how this new competition is going to affect the local emerging arts, but I can assure it will be positive.

The Jeremy Blake show will go on (info via Tyler Green in Modern Art Notes). And if you haven’t visited the Modernism exhibition yet – you have until July 29th!
Washingtonians are very lucky to have hometown access to these exhibitions
