I did read. commenting on the choice makes and assumption that the work needs expounding upon, which isn't really a fair assumption to make, having never seen the work itself.

right...
I just think it's kind of funny that you require context for art, but when the art is the context of a comment you made, you don't care for context so much.

Let me try to state this as simply as I can for you then. I stated a general belief that all artists should consider taking the time to write about their work, process, field, etc. I do not need to look at any particular piece of art or artist to have this general belief. I don't have anything more to say to you sail.

I dunno, we're creating images, shouldn't they be able to stand on their own? if a picture's worth a thousand words, it shouldn't need a thousand words alongside it. if it does, maybe you did it wrong. I also think art, whatever kind, should be open to interpretation, so I'm fine with it in my own work. But wouldn't you rather have some degree of control and try to guide or drive the conversation? If art is speaking for itself then it is probably nothing more than a pretty picture. Which is fine. But I personally find that boring. Surely art can communicate on many different levels? Why on earth does the artists interpretation mean more than the viewers? Art for me is personal, evoking thought process, do I need the artists interpretation to have a narrative, a meaning, a reason to enjoy the piece on a deeper level? No. |

I'm liking these latest rain/rope photos. Incorporating the object of the "photograph" into the final piece seems like a pretty cool idea.
Not sure if that has been done before.
Not sure if these are even photos.
Anybody know price ranges?

Anybody know price ranges? they are fabric dye on rope and canvas. pretty sure this is what he was talking about in the little press release mose linked to start this whole conversation about Falls back up. These are large. No idea on pricing. If I had to guess, I'd say they are 15k give or take. |

seems as though the author of the article did not to his due diligence. Sam will be co-repped by American Cont. and Metro.

Just found that this weekend, while searching around online for Falls. Wonder when it was released and how fast it took to sell out. It's similar to the sculpture in the Light Over Time edition, but a little nicer, I think. |

If anyone is thinking about the Light Over Time edition, I would strongly encourage. Nicholas Gottlund is very cool to deal with and I appreciated working with him when adding Light Work to my collection(now no longer in my collection). Actually, I think I should start a thread just on his work as an artist.

Although, the book portion in Light Over Time is well done. I appreciate when artists offer small scale works. It allows collectors with fewer resources to access the artist's work. Of which I am in this category. |

Actually, I think I should start a thread just on his work as an artist. Light Work would have been so much better framed up and hung as a grid. But it would have probably been much much more expensive in that format. Which is kind of weird to think about since it is the same original artwork in each case. Maybe one day he will rework those Light Work books into a wall art format as part of a retrospective or something. Dare to dream. |

What about the building blocks sculptures? Is this series less important compared to wall fabrics and the other sculptures?

At this stage in Falls' career, given how young he is and how many series he works on, I think it would be jumping the gun to label anything 'less important'. He has so, so much road to travel and very little behind him. We could make comments now, and he could turn around and spend 5 years working on what we called 'less important'.
I mean, I love and own an original Val Verde. One might think that is important as the first major fades, etc. But, depending on how his career plays out it could end up just being some background noise.
Now, I could support viewing things from the other angle and saying that none of his work is important, until proven otherwise. That is, based on precedent, much more accurate. The unimportance of an artist's output is the assumption, based on probability and trends in art history. It is the rare bird that crosses over to being important at all, and that has to be judged with time & distance.

 This is one of the special edition Sam Falls "Studio / Space / Print / Time" books. The rubbing goes around the whole book from inside flap to inside flap. Very nice. |
