NEW YORK FAIR WRAP-UP
+
GALLERY NEWS



  


We are thrilled to announce the sold out presentation of  JOSH REAMES 's paintings at the recent  VOLTA New York art fair, held at Pier 90 next to The Armory Show. All of the paintings in the booth as well as paintings from the gallery's inventory were quickly snapped up by prominent collectors from both coasts.  Strong interest was also expressed by museums and institutions, and several commissions have been confirmed or are pending.

 

Undaunted by the winter storm that brought six inches of snow throughout the course of the VIP vernissage last Thursday, our booth, draped in an inventive installation by Reames and located at the very end of the pier, brought a bright smile to collectors faces, many of whom remarked that Josh's paintings were among the freshest and strongest work they had seen at all of the fairs.

We're thrilled with the strong response to Dennis Koch's exhibition and there's still time to see it. Catch-22 x Two marks the tensegritic enfoldment of two concurrent bodies of work: Koch's large amorphous Scrambled Channel drawings, which are abstract impressions generated from exercises in remote viewing, and the more Euclidean Versor Parallel drawings, which are circular geometric structures analogous to a Buckminster Fuller tensegrity spheres.
