ART
ADAA's
26th Annual
Gathering in NYC
"THE ART SHOW"
2014
The Art Dealers Association of America again hosted it's Spring exhibition for 2014, at the historic Park Avenue Armory, 630 Park Ave., at 67th St., NYC.
Always titled "THE ART SHOW", this definitive statement, in many ways, sums up the breadth of the selection of artworks in this 26th edition of their exhibition. Founded in 1962, ADAA is comprised of 180 galleries from 30 cities. To be selected to join this group, a US gallery must have been in business for at least five years and be considered by their peers as promoting the highest standards of art connoisseurship, scholarship and ethical practice. To stay in the association the galleries must follow a strict set of guidelines for ethical practice. To find out more about ADAA go to their website: www.artdealers.org.
The ADAA's art fair offers the ultimate selection of art galleries in the USA and the artworks they display span art history. If you live in the United States and want to own a Calder, a Picasso, a Jackson Pollock, a Diebenkorn, a Warhol or even one of today's living contemporary masters these are the galleries to call first. All art comes with a known provenance. The Art Show is very much like walking through a museum of the best art in the world, with the exception everything is for sale, from thousands ($) to millions ($). This makes a tour though this "museum-like exhibition" a very different fantasy - if you like something, you have the opportunity to take it home with you, if the price is right. As you take this virtual walk through the show, what masterwork would you buy to enjoy permanently on your wall?
(LeDray's miniature constructions are shown below.)
LeDray, originally from the Seattle area, and now in his 50's, makes miniature objects, mostly sewn reproductions of clothes. He sews and constructs everything completely by himself including all of the fixtures and accessories which accompany the clothes - the hanging rack, clothes hangers, wall hooks, tools, cement bricks, oven mitts, ties, pegboard, etc. - are all perfectly fabricated by LeDray in his small scale. It is uncanny and you almost feel sorry for the artist and the strain his eyes must be going through. If you ever have a chance to see his work, you should go! Charles LeDray's artwork was featured in a previous issue of ARTSnFOOD link: http://artsnfood.blogspot.com/2010/12/making-small-at-whitney-30-min-prep-no.html).
Relax and enjoy the 26th version of THE ART SHOW, 2014!

Art historian and New Yorker Magazine writer Adam Gopnik leads a debate as to whether "ART" is just an investment today or is "ART" still a worthwhile intellectual pursuit? Can these two approaches co-exist and do these two camps actually support each other. Gopnik's talk was sponsored by the Art Dealers Association of America during THE ART SHOW.
Read an account of Gopnik's discussion reported in an earlier issue of ARTSnFOOD, link:

- 3/4 tsp active dry yeast

- In a small mixing bowl, stir together 1 cup of lukewarm tap water, the east and the olive oil, then pour it into the flour mixture.
- Mix and knead with your hands until well combined, (3 min) then let the mixture rest for 15 minutes.
- Knead rested dough for 3 more minutes.
- Cut into two equal pieces and shape each into a ball.
Place on a heavy floured surface, cover with a dampened cloth, and let rest and rise for 3 to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
- Remove the dough 30 to 45 minutes before you begin to make your pizzas
-Place each ball on a heavily floured surface and use your fingers to stretch it, then your hands to shape it into rounds or squares.
