Armory Week Art Fair Roundup
In case you missed the various fair summaries that have piled up in the past week, here's a complete run down of the fairs I worked my way through and the accompanying reports on the photography to be found there.

Photography in the 2013 SCOPE Art Show
The 2013 version of the SCOPE Art Show had a very different feel than any of the other fairs I attended this year. It was loose, emerging, and largely informal, with hardly any photographic work that was recognizable to me. Separating the wheat from the chaff took more effort, as there was plenty to see but much of it not particularly noteworthy. It felt less like a place where I might discover the next big thing in photography and more like a melting pot of some of the new ideas and approaches that are percolating around in the fringes.
The booths/galleries are arranged below by my winding path through the fair. For each booth, a list of photographers has been provided (assuming there were wall labels/pencil marks to identify them, which there weren't in many cases), with the number of works on display in parentheses. Additional commentary, prices, and pictures of the installation are also included as appropriate.
STANDING PINE - cube (here): Youki Hirakawa (4, 4 video screens). Multiple exposures transform a fallen candle into a bulbous morphing light abstraction ($1300).
Galerie Van Der Planken (here): Helle Jetzig (3)
Waterhouse & Dodd (here): Jean-Francois Rauzier (2), Miru Kim (1)
Unix Fine Art (here): Zhang Peng (1)
ArTepury (here): Luis Brito (3)
Krause Gallery (here): Noah Scalin (2)
Alida Anderson Art Projects (here): Dulce Pinzon (4)
Fitzroy Knox (here): Christine Flynn (4)
Gallery G-77 (here): Hiroko Tsuchida (3)
Patrajdas Contemporary (here): Koh Sang Woo (4)
Mark Hatchem Gallery (here): Cheryl Maeder (2)
Parlor Gallery (here): Ellen Stagg (3, 1 set of 3). Nudes aren't usually chaotic, but this frieze-like interleaved multiple image certainly is. There is a visual connection to Robert Heinecken here somewhere.
C. Grimaldis Gallery (here): Christopher Saah (3), Bernd Radtke (5)
Center Space Gallery (here): Alex Guofeng Cao (12)
Witzenhausen Gallery (here): Hendrik Kerstens (2), Jeff Robb (5). I'm still trying to get my head around lenticular photography and how it can be best employed without turning into a gimmick. This Robb nude is a lenticular image ($3800), so it subtly turns and blurs as you move around it.
Evan Lurie Gallery (here): Nick Veasey (2), Tom Leighton (1), Jason Par Bennett (2)
Gagliardi Art System (here): Ralf Kaspers (1). Massive scale makes the people in this huge wave seem like ants, but crisp large format craftsmanship allows each one to be entirely legible ($60000). This image is reminiscent of a entire category of big work we have seen before, but nevertheless it's still quite engrossing.
Québec Focus (AGAC) (here): Yann Pocreau (1)
Hardcore Art Contemporary Space (here): Gaston Ugalde (3), Consuela Castañeda (5)
White Room Art System (here): Umberto Ciceri (15). Another artist working with lenticular prints, this time in bold, colorful abstractions ($18000 each). These striated, plaid squares shift and shimmer with futuristic intensity.
LICHT FELD Gallery (here): Tiffany Trenda (2)
ART LEXÏNG (here): Quentin Shih (3)
Faur Zsófi (here): Bela Doka (2), Arion Gabor Kodasz (2), Anna Fabricius (15), Adam Magyar (3)
Aicon Gallery (here): Yamini Nayar (1). I like the uncertainty in this constructed/combined image ($6000); it doesn't reveal itself too quickly and remains open ended.
Chashama (here): Bruce Campbell (1 diptych)
Tinca Art Contemporary (here): Rachel Monosov (6), Yapci Ramos (7)
Masters & Pelavin (here): Jeremy Harris (1)
Untitled Art Projects (here): Clayton Campbell (15), The Citizen X (1), Michelle Elmore (2)
CES Contemporary (here): Stepanka Peterka (1), Yuri Psinakis (1), Jordan Clark (3), Ashkan Honorvar (2 collages)
Platform-A Gallery (here): Kraig Wilson (1)
Golden Thread Gallery (here): Martin Boyle (7)
Art Mûr (here): Rebecca Belmore (1), Nadia Myre (3), Diana Thorneycroft (2)
Muriel Guépin Gallery (here): Matthew Conradt (2). This image was transferred to mylar and then cut into strips and reassembled, leaving out the windows ($7800). Up close, the effect is striped, handcrafted, and jittery, with a nod to Gordon Matta-Clark.
Fred Torres Collaborations (here): Luca Pizzaroni (1), Lainie Dalby (1), Dare Wright (1), Joey Lehman Morris (2), Judith Martin-Razi (1), Brett Beyer (1), Seb Janiak (3)
Allegra LaViola Gallery (here): HuskMitNavn (4)

Photography in the 2013 Independent
This was my first visit to the Independent art fair (it's been up and running for four years now, so I'm a little late to the party), and I came away generally impressed with the quality of what I saw. In contrast to the normal, seemingly endless warren of white cube booths in a fair, the Independent is more free form, with 49 galleries shoehorned into angled spaces and spread across three floors. This design is mostly a blessing, as it makes the whole fair flow better; the one downside is that I often had the feeling of being not quite sure whose space I was in, especially in the higher traffic zones. Photography-wise, the show tended toward smartly conceptual work rather than big name churn and burn merch.
The booths/galleries are arranged below by my winding path through the fair, roughly moving up and through the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors of the building starting at the bottom. For each booth, a list of photographers has been provided, with the number of works on display in parentheses. Additional commentary, prices, and pictures of the installation are also included as appropriate.
Murray Guy (here): An-My Lê (9). This booth contained a well-chosen mix of Lê's older and newer work. This image of long sticks with toy airplanes attached to the ends was particularly elegant ($5000).
Maureen Paley (here): Anne Hardy (1), Wolfgang Tillmans (2), James Welling (1). I never seem to tire of Wolfgang Tillmans abstractions ($16000).
Galerie Jocelyn Wolff (here): Prinz Gholam (6). This artist duo has recreated poses from classical paintings; they're gracefully reverential and entirely modern at the same time (2200€ each).
The Modern Institute (here): Michael Wilkinson (4)
Office Baroque (here): Leigh Ledare (2), Michel Auder (1 video)
Galerie Meyer Kainer (here): Lucie Stahl (6). The process here is worth understanding: collaged found images/photographs glued onto a trash can, the can then held above a scanner, the entire image then printed and covered with thick transparent resin (7500€ each).
Andrew Kreps Gallery (here): Annette Kelm (4, 1 triptych). A simple, conceptual still life of iterations of folded bandanas, executed crispy and cleanly (8500€ each).
Real Fine Arts (here): Heji Shin (3)
Richard Telles Fine Art (here): Dan Finsel (2)
Galerie Christian Nagel (here): Clegg & Guttman (2)
White Columns (here): Michele Abeles (1), Marc Hundley (1), Type 42 Anonymous (1). Look at all those red dots! This black and white Abeles image in an edition of 50 was sold out by the time I arrived ($150). No wonder; it's wonderfully dense and interlocked.
Herald Street (here): Josh Brand (2). These recent images by Brand have become increasingly hard to parse. Fragments of imagery and improvisational darkroom processes meld together in moody, textural abstraction ($4000).
Printed Matter (here): Erica Baum (2). Baum is represented by Bureau (here), but these two prints were on a Printed Matter wall, as part of a fund raiser I believe. The scalloped gradation of newspaper edges was richly tactile ($2500).
Galerie Susanne Zander (here): Thomas Glendenning Hamilton (5)
Jack Hanely Gallery (here): Jessica Rath (3)
Galerija Gregor Podnar (here): Alexander Gutke (3, 1 slideshow of 81 images). I thought this was a very well-executed but quietly straightforward conceptual project. Starting with soft light on a white wall (morning blue or afternoon orange), the image has been rephotographed and layered multiple times, slowly intensifying the color and creating the Albers-like effect ($7800 each).
KOW (here): Tobias Zielony (5). These images were drawn from Zielony's larger project on the lives of young Berlin prostitutes. They're intimate without being exploitative ($8200 or $12000 based on size).

Photography in the 2013 Armory Show, Part 2 of 2
Part 1 of this two part post can be found here. Start there for background and a general explanation of the format of the summary. This portion of my notes covers the shorter area on the left of Pier 94 and all of Pier 92.
Lisson Gallery (here): Gerard Byrne (1), Cory Arcangel (2)
Max Wigram Gallery (here): Jose Dávila (1 set of 53, 1), Slater Bradley (1). Dávila is another artist playing with the properties of the cut photograph. In this work, he has taken pictures of famous sculpture from around the world and then excised the artworks, leaving white outlines and blobs which are surprisingly recognizable (entire set $65000).
The surrounding area in the Bradley nude below is entirely covered in black marker, making a slightly striated and entirely opaque background ($40000).
i8 (here): Roni Horn (1 set 5), Orri Jonsson (3)
Galleri Bo Bjerggaard (here): Per Bak Jensen (1)
Loock Galerie (here): Holly Zausner (3 multi-image arrays)

Rotwand Gallery (here): Klaus Lutz (5)
CLEARING (here): Ryan Foerster (9)
Rokeby Gallery (here): Matthew Sawyer (8)
Winkleman Gallery (here): Shane Hope (2). While most of the works in this booth were made using 3D printing, there were two quasi-photographic works on view: the one below (a digital print, $18000) and another, which was a holographic/lenticular print. The density of collaged digital imagery in this work is truly astounding, with layer upon layer of structural elements, exploded genomes, and other scientific models.
Victoria Miro (here): Isaac Julien (1), Idris Khan (1)
Sean Kelly Gallery (here): Frank Thiel (1), Alec Soth (2), Idris Khan (1), James Casebere (1). This is a new work by Casebere, with a falling table top house and a wildfire ($50000).
Galerie Rodolphe Janssen (here): Adam McEwen (2), Justin Liberman (1)
Galerie Nathalie Obadia (here): Andres Serrano (2), Youssef Nabil (2), Lorna Simpson (9)
Michael Kohn Gallery (here): Simmons & Burke (1)
Henrique Faria Fine Art (here): Alexandra Apostol (1)

Mixografia (here): John Baldessari (1 set of 6)
Crown Point Press (here): Darren Almond (6)
Durham Press (here): Mickalene Thomas (1)
Bitforms Gallery (here): Rafael Lozano-Hemmer (2). These works were massive arrays of high definition scans of fingertips (taken from financial services employees), each rectangle its own individual set of whorls and lines ($37000).
Derek Eller Gallery (here): Thomas Barrow (1)
Galerie Forsblom (here): Ola Kolehmainen (1)
Galerie Daniel Templon (here): David LaChapelle (1), James Casebere (1)
Blain Southern (here): Wim Wenders (1)

HackelBury Fine Art (here): William Klein (6), Mike & Doug Starn (3), Pascal Kern (4), Garry Fabian Miller (4), Bill Armstrong (3)
Wetterling Gallery (here): Mike & Doug Starn, Nathalia Edenmont (3), Pinar Yolaçan (2). I thought these works by Yolaçan were very smart. She's taken fleshy nudes and covered the skin with some kind of textured lotion. With the heads cropped out and the bodies posed against colored backgrounds, they turn into stone fertility idols ($7500).
Galerie Michael Schultz (here): Andres Serrano (3), Vik Muniz (1)
Mireille Mosler Ltd. (here): Fischli/Weiss (1), Richard Prince (1). Pretty hard to beat this fabulous Fischli/Weiss shoe sculpture ($75000).
David Klein Gallery (here): Trisha Holt (2)
Alan Koppel Gallery (here): Garry Winogrand (2), Hiroshi Sugimoto (3), Patrick Faigenbaum (1)
Forum Gallery (here): Davis Cone (1)
Robert Klein Gallery (here): Irving Penn (10), Bill Jacobsen (2), Francesca Woodman (4), Richard Avedon (1), Leonce Raphael Agbodjelou (3), Imogen Cunningham (1), Edward Weston (1), Alfred Stieglitz (1). Lots of vintage treasures in this booth, including a wall of bold Irving Penn fashion portraits. While there were other more famous Penn images on view, I enjoyed this one the most, with its tower of hair and its flared collar ($45000).
Fleisher/Ollman Gallery (here): Eugene Von Bruenchenhein (5)

Photography in the 2013 Armory Show, Part 1 of 2
In what might sound like a contradiction, this year's Armory Show has both more and less photography than in previous years. "More", in that by my count, there were 97 booths showing something that might be called photography (out of a possible 214 not including the publishers). That's over 45% of the galleries, which must be some kind of record and is certainly an increase from what was on offer last year. But a glass half empty kind of person might characterize this show as quite a bit "less", in that eclectic mid-tier randomness seems to have replaced the parade of boldfaced names and highly saleable, contemporary material that we've come to expect at this kind of gathering. If you are looking for Sherman, Gursky, Prince, Gilbert & George, Ruff, Struth, Tillmans, and the like, you will wear out your shoe leather and generally come up empty handed.
This portion of my notes covers the Focus area and the long extending arm of Pier 94; the second part will cover the remainder of Pier 94 and all of Pier 92. The booths/galleries are arranged by my path through the fair, roughly up and back along the aisles. For each booth, a list of photographers has been provided, with the number of works on display in parentheses. Additional commentary, prices, and pictures of the installation are also included as appropriate.
Galleria Continua (here): Carlos Garaicoa (2)
Higher Pictures (here): This booth contained three new works by Artie Vierkant. They're physically thinner than his last works (now on Dibond instead of thick Sintra) and more compositionally complex and multilayered ($17000 each). I think they're getting better.
Aisho Miura Arts (here): Shuhei Yamada (9)
Various Small Fires (here): Liz Magic Laser (2)
moniquemeloche (here): Joel Ross and Jason Kreps (4)
CONNERSMITH (here): Lincoln Schatz (1 set of 30, 1)
Anthony Meier Fine Arts (here): Roy McMakin (1 set of 6, 1 set of 4)
Francis M. Nauman Fine Art (here): Sherrie Levine (1 set of 18 postcards)
Pilar Corrias Gallery (here): Leigh Ledare (1)
Pekin Fine Arts (here): Kata Legrady (1), John Clang (2), Martin Parr (1), WassinkLundgren (4 diptychs). The photography duo of WassinkLundgren have taken to the streets of Tokyo, simultaneously taking two images of the same scenes from slightly different vantage points. The effect is Paul Graham's The Present meets Barbara Probst, highlighting the particular unmistakable flow of Tokyo ($2000 for each diptych). While discussing the fine Martin Parr auto show image on the outside wall, I heard that Parr is at work on a book of Chinese photobooks.
Kalfayan Galleries (here): Hrair Sarkissian (12)
Spaces Corners (here): Ed Panar (2), Andrea Galvani (1), Tim Hyde (5). These four photo collages by Tim Hyde were shown at the Philadelphia Museum of Art a few years ago. I like the way they break up the parking lot view into Cubist shards that are reassembled into abstract interruptions ($5000 each).
Andy Warhol Museum (here): Andy Warhol (5 modern enlargements)
Ullens Center for Contemporary Art (here): Cui Xiuwen (1)
Aperture (here): James Welling (1), Andrea Galvani (1), Enrique Metinides (1), Bill Armstrong (1), Doug Rickard (1), Michel Campeau (1), Sarah Moon (1), Richard Mosse (1), Silvio Wolf (1), Lars Tunbjork (1), Hank Willis Thomas (1), David Levinthal (1), Abelardo Morell (1), Rinko Kawauchi (1), Bruce Davidson (1), Michal Chelbin (1), Denis Darzacq
Whitechapel Gallery (here): John Baldessari (1), Roy Voss (1), Thomas Ruff (1), Zarina Bhimji (1), Rodney Graham (1), Peter Abrahams (1), Gerard Byrne (1)
Upstream Gallery (here): Frank Ammerlaan (1)
Baró Galleria (here): Ricardo Alcaide (2)
Bruce Silverstein Gallery (here): André Kertész (3 Polaroids), Max Neumann (6), Man Ray (1), Silvio Wolf (1 set of 30, 1), Trine Søndergaard (4), Bill Brandt (1), Shinichi Maruyama (3), Keith Smith (2), Constantin Brancusi (2), Michael Wolf (1), Todd Hido (2), Mark Cohen (1), Nicolai Howalt and Trine Søndergaard (1), Walker Evans (1), Aaron Siskind (1), Nicolai Howalt (1), Laszlo Moholy-Nagy (1). This booth was a solid mix of both contemporary work and vintage gems. This 1930s Brandt nude was a particular surprise, as I hadn't previously seen one from earlier than the mid 1940s ($35000).
espaivisor - Galeria Visor (here): Nil Yalter (1 set of 10, 1 triptych, 1 set of 16), Sanja Ivekovic (1 set of 100)
ONE AND J. Gallery (here): Jung Lee (5). I suppose it was inevitable that the "pithy phrase in neon" so prevalent in contemporary art would finally make the jump to staged photography ($15000 each).
Galeria SENDA (here): Oleg Dov (2), Anna Malagrida (2)
Galerie Crone (here): Daniel Megerle (10), Adrien Missika (4)

Goodman Gallery (here): Mikhael Subotzky (2), Alfredo Jaar (1), Hank Willis Thomas (1 set of 6), David Goldblatt (3)
Luciana Brito Galeria (here): Caio Reisewitz (1). Marina Abramović (2), Fyodor Pavlov-Andreevich (1), Regina Silveira (1 installation). This is a new work by Marina Abramović; I liked the tiny cracks climbing up the expanse of green and the unsettling blackened finger ($90000).
Cardi Black Box (here): Shirana Shahbazi (4). These are new works by Shahbazi, more active and overlapped than other abstractions I have seen by her.
Corkin Gallery (here): arbara Astman (5), Thaddeus Holownia (1 set of 100), André Kertész (3), Constantin Brancusi (1), Marion Post Wolcott (1), Frank Mädler (1)
Tang Contemporary Art (here): Wang Gongxin (2 videos), Ji Zhou (1), Yang Yong (1 diptych)
Galerie EIGEN + ART (here): Ricarda Roggan (3)
PPOW (here): Adam Putman (10)
Howard Greenberg Gallery (here): Joel Meyerowitz (2), Gordon Parks (1), Edward Burtynsky (1 diptych, 2), Imogen Cunningham (1), William Klein (4), Bruce Davidson (2), Robert Frank (2), Vivian Maier (4), Saul Leiter (4), Ted Croner (1), Caleb Cain Marcus (2). This lively diamond mural abstraction isn't what you might expect from William Klein ($19000).
Angles Gallery (here): Ori Gersht (5, 1 lightbox, 1 diptych) Soo Kim (5). This handcut inkjet print by Soo Kim is elegantly interwoven and delicate ($10000). Another example of a contemporary photographer playing with the surface/physicality of the print.
Haines Gallery (here): David Maisel (1)
Galerie van Gelder (here): Steven Parrino (1)
Leila Heller Gallery (here): Reza Aramesh (1 triptych)

This new Matthew Brandt is more swirly and abstract than other works from this same series ($19000); the underlying lake drenched image is hardly recognizable.
Ignacio Liprandi Arte Contemporaneo (here): Jorge Pedro Nuñez (4). Square format Artforum ads projected into Albers-like layers of color ($4000 each).
Loevenbruck (here): Morgane Tschiember (1 set of 6)
Jack Shainman Gallery (here): Richard Mosse (1), Hank Willis Thomas (1), Barkley Hendricks (1). I was blown away by the electric contrast between the blue and the red/pink in this new Richard Mosse ($24000).
Corvi-Mora (here): Anne Collier (2)
Kukje Gallery (here)/Tina Kim Gallery (here): Kimsooja (1), Haegue Yang (2 sets of 4, 1 set of 3, 1 set of 2), Candida Höfer (1), Jenny Holtzer (1)

This portion of my notes covers the Focus area and the long extending arm of Pier 94; the second part will cover the remainder of Pier 94 and all of Pier 92. The booths/galleries are arranged by my path through the fair, roughly up and back along the aisles. For each booth, a list of photographers has been provided, with the number of works on display in parentheses. Additional commentary, prices, and pictures of the installation are also included as appropriate.
Galleria Continua (here): Carlos Garaicoa (2)
Higher Pictures (here): This booth contained three new works by Artie Vierkant. They're physically thinner than his last works (now on Dibond instead of thick Sintra) and more compositionally complex and multilayered ($17000 each). I think they're getting better.
Aisho Miura Arts (here): Shuhei Yamada (9)
Various Small Fires (here): Liz Magic Laser (2)
moniquemeloche (here): Joel Ross and Jason Kreps (4)
CONNERSMITH (here): Lincoln Schatz (1 set of 30, 1)

Francis M. Nauman Fine Art (here): Sherrie Levine (1 set of 18 postcards)
Pilar Corrias Gallery (here): Leigh Ledare (1)
Pekin Fine Arts (here): Kata Legrady (1), John Clang (2), Martin Parr (1), WassinkLundgren (4 diptychs). The photography duo of WassinkLundgren have taken to the streets of Tokyo, simultaneously taking two images of the same scenes from slightly different vantage points. The effect is Paul Graham's The Present meets Barbara Probst, highlighting the particular unmistakable flow of Tokyo ($2000 for each diptych). While discussing the fine Martin Parr auto show image on the outside wall, I heard that Parr is at work on a book of Chinese photobooks.
Kalfayan Galleries (here): Hrair Sarkissian (12)
Spaces Corners (here): Ed Panar (2), Andrea Galvani (1), Tim Hyde (5). These four photo collages by Tim Hyde were shown at the Philadelphia Museum of Art a few years ago. I like the way they break up the parking lot view into Cubist shards that are reassembled into abstract interruptions ($5000 each).
Andy Warhol Museum (here): Andy Warhol (5 modern enlargements)
Ullens Center for Contemporary Art (here): Cui Xiuwen (1)
Aperture (here): James Welling (1), Andrea Galvani (1), Enrique Metinides (1), Bill Armstrong (1), Doug Rickard (1), Michel Campeau (1), Sarah Moon (1), Richard Mosse (1), Silvio Wolf (1), Lars Tunbjork (1), Hank Willis Thomas (1), David Levinthal (1), Abelardo Morell (1), Rinko Kawauchi (1), Bruce Davidson (1), Michal Chelbin (1), Denis Darzacq

Photography in the 2013 ADAA Art Show
This year's ADAA Art Show wandered the stylistic line that it always does: somewhere between classy and snoozy. Only 12 booths out of a possible 72 had any photography in them, so photo collectors and enthusiasts can expect to travel along decent stretches of real estate without anything to tempt you. That said, each photography find is worthy of a closer look, so treat the whole thing like a treasure hunt and you won't be disappointed.
My notes from the fair are below, organized alphabetically by gallery name. For each booth, a list of photographers has been provided, along with the number of works on display, a highlight image or two, and the prices where appropriate.
My notes from the fair are below, organized alphabetically by gallery name. For each booth, a list of photographers has been provided, along with the number of works on display, a highlight image or two, and the prices where appropriate.
Brooke Alexander, Inc. (here): John Baldessari (1 photogravure, $8500)
Alexander and Bonin (here); This entire booth was devoted to the work of Mona Hatoum, with a mix of photographs and sculptural objects. After expressing my interest in the flattened perspective severed fish head image ($6000), I was given a peek at the lovely cheese grater photograph tucked away in the very tiny closet ($12000).
Fraenkel Gallery (here): This booth was a solo showing of Robert Adams images from The New West. A total of 27 prints are on display.
Marian Goodman Gallery (here): This booth was filled with works by Tacita Dean (15 works, plus 1 glass box of overpainted postcards and 1 set of 3 sculptures). Most were gouaches over various 19th century photographic landscapes, where slivers of paint added a tree, a glacier, or a man perched on a rock outcropping. The work below is a Carleton Watkins Grizzly Giant image overpainted in misty white ($35000).
Sean Kelly Gallery (here): This booth contained a fine selection of Robbert Mapplethorpe's portraits of artists (20 in all). I enjoyed his image of De Kooning best, which of course was NFS (as was the portrait of Louise Bourgeois).
Barbara Krakow Gallery (here): This single work by Liliana Porter was the only photographic work in this booth ($10000). Notice the clever conceptual line that extends from the finger, travels across the photograph, jumps up on the mat, and eventually continues along the wall.
McKee Gallery (here): Two new Richard Learoyd prints were featured in this booth, one a portrait and the other this sculptural, fishing-lined pink flamingo ($65000). A show of Learoyd's new work is scheduled for this coming May.
Metro Pictures (here): This triptych of Louise Lawler images of a Degas sculpture was the focal point of this booth (there was one smaller Lawler on the outside wall, but that's all that was on display). The three versions have been alternately tinted in RGB (each $150000) and were surprisingly elegant close up. There were also 4 smaller Cindy Shermans hiding in the storage closet.
Laurence Miller Gallery (here): This booth was filled with Eadweard Muybridge collotypes from Animal Locomotion (a total of 33, individually priced between $3000 and $10000, plus 1 video, the leather case, cover plate, and supporting letter). I have to say that these seemed like an odd choice for this fair; perfectly fine to be sure, but I wonder whether a more contemporary choice might have been more powerful. There was also 1 Ray Metzker composite tucked away on a side wall.
Yossi Milo Gallery (here): This booth contained a mix of gallery artists: Matthew Brandt (1), Chris McCaw (5), Sze Tsung Leong (5), and Alison Rossiter (12). These more angular Rossiters were fabulous and likely my favorites in the fair ($6500 each, these four all already sold!).
Pace/MacGill Gallery (here): This booth was smart mix of large and small prints: Paul Graham (1), William Eggleston (1 of the recent big prints), Richard Misrach (1), Vito Acconci (2 tiny prints), Irving Penn (1 small portrait), Hai Bo (2 huge full length portraits, apparently of his uncle), Andreas Gursky (1), Robert Rauschenberg (1), Harry Callahan (2 small light drawings). The image below is an up-close detail of the tiny colored spots in the Graham work from his Films series ($30000).
Skarstedt Gallery (here): Fitting that this summary should end with a blockbuster Cindy Sherman centerfold ($1300000), as what is an art fair without a bunch of Cindy Shermans? The booth also contained a Richard Prince cowboy and a large Cindy Sherman film still.
