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.

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”.

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

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)

Washington, DC may not be Dubai, but we are the nation’s capital and an emerging competitive art center.
We have The Smithsonian Institution’s 18 (free!) museums and initiatives, including the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden (international modern and contemporary art), the Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, and the National Museum of African Art, as well as a host of other art-ish opportunities throughout, including the newly refurbished National Portrait Gallery and Smithsonian American Art Museum. The National Gallery of Art houses one of the finest collections in the world illustrating major achievements in painting, sculpture, decorative arts, and works on paper from the Middle Ages to the present. A host of other opportunities await within the capital city’s walls, just waiting to be discovered.
In claiming we’re competitive, we’re plugging the first Modern and Contemporary art fair, artDC and the 14th Street Corridor, home to high-calibre Contemporary galleries. 14th Street is our “Chelsea” – kind of, if you squint and it’s dark outside – but the area is changing, quickly. Unlike the struggles between our neighbors on The Hill, the leaders of our fine art community are pulling together and progressively changing the market here.
On a personal note, we are new to “blogging” so it might be a little rough at first, we’re going to update at least once a week, probably Tuesday and we will be covering a large range of subjects: interviews with local collectors, advice on navigating art fairs, art market economics, information on emerging regional artists and commentary on DC taste-makers.
Please feel free to comment with inquiries, suggestions, funny DC anecdotes (please nothing political) or general witty banter, all to which we will be sure to reply – we’re off to the Corcoran Modernism preview…
