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.

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

artDC Announces Show Cancellation for 2008
DC’s Premier Modern and Contemporary Art Fair Postponed
WASHINGTON, DC (February 13, 2008) – artDC organizers regretfully announced today their difficult decision to cancel the 2008 show due to the recessionary nature of the present economy.
artDC was set to return to the Washington Convention Center May 16 to 18 following last year’s inaugural success, but uncertain economic conditions were the deciding factor in cancelling this year’s show.
The world of art fairs has expanded globally while galleries and dealers are narrowing their field of participation to the proven markets, such as New York and Miami.
“We were excited to be bringing this modern and contemporary art show back to our nation’s capital, but current indicators show that the return on investment is not there for our exhibitors in this economic climate,” said Eric Smith, Vice President of Summit Business Media, which runs artDC.
However show organizers plan to continue other events in more established markets, including New York and Miami, and have not ruled out bringing artDC back in the future.
AND the spin… the recession? (and canceling was spelled wrong)

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)

One of my favorite, and under-exposed, sculptures in DC will now be more accessible and other good news is that the weird left leg is going to be repositioned… I always thought it looked a little off
