Really like the edition put out by Gottlund Verlag. Kassay doesn't put out many things, so this is a pretty great opportunity at a affordable price ($100), I think: gottlundverlag.com/kassay.html |

I wonder how much the special edition is? That's a good question. Here's more info on the edition. I wonder what his intended meaning was with this edition: "White oil stick was applied by Kassay to redact all information (text and images) from a 2012 publication produced in conjunction with his exhibition at the ICA, London." |

Great new body of work up at 303 Gallery. Really liked the reverse process of using scraps of older canvases and building the stretchers to fit them. Like paintings in reverse. The graphite titles on the side were also a cool direction. www.303gallery.com/index.php?exhid=167&p=images |

going to catch it this week. His show earlier this year at The Kitchen had the canvas remnant works in addition to 'type 2' silver works(with the different process). Besides that, it was an absolutely fantastic show. Really outstanding.

I went with the basic trade edition. I didn't ask for the price on the special edition, but I can. Nicholas is very fast on the reply if you have any questions at all.

Unless there was a change, the special edition was $3k. I'd be surprised if there were copies left available, but worth a shot if anyone is interested.

Was told most went to public inst and collections with 4 to the gen public at $3k. Last I heard there were 2 left at the very end of July. Good luck. This was an easy pass for me.

I agree $3K is a bit steep for a book. I'd rather put that towards a painting. In the market in case anyone has one they want to sell.  |

I've seen about two dozen or so Kassay silver paintings, in all the major sizes. The 'normal size' silver currently in Phillips day sale is, by far, the single best one I've ever seen. phillips.com/detail/JACOB-KASSAY/NY010813/140?fromSearch=kassay&searchPage=1That was a big surprise to me, as I was expecting to be blown away by one of the much rarer, large-scale(84"x60") ones in the evening sale. That one is good, but wow the day-sale one. The way the silver coating adhered left it looking, at the same time, hard, liquid, and amazingly reflective while remaining 'painterly' as opposed to simply a mirror. This is the type of work that could make a Kassay doubter say, "damn, now I get it." |

Thank you very much for sharing that. I'd been very much interested in seeing how it turned out.
