A List of the New Essentials (Day 6)

The Armory Show

I liked a lot of the work at the Armory Show. I did not like the Armory Show. It felt a like my idea of Wall Street--which I did not see in New York. People were predicting where the market was going, talking off the cuff about exorbitant amounts of money, and you know... wearing suits. As if business had been driving along, seen the art sticking its thumb out on the edge of the interstate and decided it would make for a good story if they gave it a lift. On a side note I pulled a huge faux pas when in an attempt to take my sweatshirt off I pulled off my regular shirt. All the way. There were nipples and embarrassment flying all over the place, like glass during a head on car crash. About the actual fair/show/whatever, here are some great Holzer pieces...


Also there was a large Ryan McGuiness that was pretty fancy,

and a Barry McGee,

and this illustration.
