Let's see. HALSEY MCKAY GALLERY June 22 - July 8, 2013 Opening receptions: Saturday, June 22, 6-8 pm 79 Newtown Lane | East Hampton | New York | 11937 | 631.604.5770 SAM MOYER & MIKA TAJIMA - MIDORI MAMBO BLACK RUSSIAN For this exhibition, Sam Moyer and Mika Tajima present new painting works. Tajima continues her ambient painting series titled Furniture Art, which are reverse spray enameled thermoformed acrylic objects. Each piece is subtitled by a geographic location—Okinawa, Vieques, Sainte-Honorine-des-Pertes, Da Nang, Bahia de Cochinos. Moyer presents a brand new body of work titled Breakers, which combines abstraction and the readymade while still loosely referencing the idea of landscape. Painted glass and dyed canvas are layered to create compositions physically reliant on the Neilson frames that hold them together.

I like the works both from Sam and Tajima. Other thoughts?

Sam Moyer, Hugh Scott Douglas, Ryan Foerster and charles Ross at Bugada and Cargnel Paris. Check it out. "This exhibition intends to bring together the works of artists integrating the sun and natural elements into their work. Working across various mediums with raw materials and exposure to nature, each artist engages an experimental process of creation finding a balance of control and release. The resulting compositions are dual manifestations of the artists' will and nature's whim. In their own practice, each artist allows natural elements to dictate tone. Time and climate become their tools and geography a platform." Sounds to me like these artists are all following in the footsteps of Sam Falls' work. Is it better to lead or follow? Interested to see more though. And it will also be nice to see what Moyer comes out with after finally moving on from the ploy of trying to pass off bleach as "light." |

I think that during this last period, Moyer already moved on from bleach works.
Although from and aesthetic view point the black/white is still her lenguage, during the last months the production of her canvas was similar to Sam Falls (with material exposed to nature).

I am fairly certain her work has been dried outdoors for well over a year now. She did eliminate the bleach a while back, as well. I believe the bleach disappeared from her process around the same time as the patterns she created with that bleach. If I remember correctly the black/white aspect of the work is controlled by adding and eliminating ink with water from a garden hose.
The latest adaptation to the work that I have seen is the use of collage. Piecing multiple cropped canvas' together to create a composition.

My intent in mentioning the bleach was merely to draw a parallel between that prior use as a light substitute and the blurb about using sunlight that I quoted above. Sorry for any confusion created.

hard to make out what's going on with them in digital form, are they 3D and the glass/plexi is used to separate each layer?

the first set of works were a sheet of canvas placed between backing and glass that is painted in parts and clear in others.

I heard the work was hammered for 32.000 USD. Someone was there? I guess Sam is quite hot at the moment... |

I used to think these online charity auctions were great, real, and amazing too. Then I came to my senses when a forum member made me think a bit more objectively.
It takes so so little to create a faceless account and start bidding things to the sky. Then walk away into the ether of the internet and leave behind that fake account as the dust settles.
I wonder what the default rate is on those items that greatly surpass their typical market value? I'm sure paddle8, artsy, etc will never tell. And none of the art on those sites is expensive enough to generate news when the high bidder disappears ala the recent Banksy charity auction.
Take these charity auction results in with a healthy dose of skepticism.

And none of the art on those sites is expensive enough to generate news when the high bidder disappears ala the recent Banksy charity auction. Take these charity auction results in with a healthy dose of skepticism. I hadn't thought of that - what is clear is that these auctions are not at all transparent and easily manipulated. This will always however be difficult to prove. What is less difficult to prove is the significant tax benefits for US citizens in buying art at a charity auction. I would agree that the Paddle8 model could have significant benefits to artists, but it could also be very damaging. I know one or two gallery owners right now who are not at all impressed with this model and the potential damage! Clearly this is largely speculation but I would 100% agree that one should take these auction results with a pinch of salt; they should not be considered to be always reflective of market value! Having said that, Moyer is clearly in demand and there is that chance that these were legitimate bids and are a true reflection of her market... only time will tell! |

Hi,
While you have a valid point and may be correct about phony bidding to drive speculation I actually am more inclined to believe that speculative money is being driven into this market. What we saw when Jacob Kassay went from 10k to 100k overnight not too long ago was a big sensation, not unheard of but unusual. It appears that this is now the new norm and that was the start of it. Should an artist like Lucien Smith get 300k after having a handful of small shows while it took Kaws practically 20 years to hit 300k? Or Tauba Auerbach about 10-12 years? Speculative money is really pouring in so the bids may be valid? Blue chip art selling for ridiculous highs of which it seems there is no ceiling. There is plenty of money floating around and unfortunately much is coming in to young artists which hopefully doesn't ruin it for the more modest collectors or the artists themselves.
I think there are now several dozen rather young artists whose prices I've watched go spiraling up and over retail on Paddle8.com and artsy.com and artspace.com
Which is of course ridiculous. The unseen problem is that not only does it drive prices high which could hurt a young artist in the long run. It makes the dozens of other young promising artists whose prices aren't going bananas seem like there's something wrong with them.
Another thing worries me is that pricing/hype is really influencing curators it appears. Critics seemed to bend over backwards to make Jacob Kassay's non shiny paintings seem like integral explorations into conceptual art. But reality is most of his non shiny work is really boring and over thought.
There's much more that can be said about all this but I agree about the problems inherent in these websites.
I initially was not pleased about it, as I often attended benefit auctions over the years as a way to affordably build a collection. But it's hard to argue against "charities" making more money without sounding selfish and I thought the ease of finding these auctions online and being able to bid was nice. But it also put a huge spotlight on the bidding frenzy behind young artists (or lack of bidding frenzy) and seems to be exacerbating a real problem here.

What is less difficult to prove is the significant tax benefits for US citizens in buying art at a charity auction. What tax savings are you referring? From readin here www.pgdc.com/pgdc/tax-considerations-charitable-auctionsExample Unless, these were valued @ $3000 and the winning bid went for $6,000. They would only be able to claim the extra $3000 for tax purposes. |

Yes, but in the case of Israel Lund recently, a small canvas , estimated retail value $1400, before the live auction was bid up to $35,000 I think?. So my understanding is $33,600 could be claimed. I guess it depends a) how badly you want a piece by the artist, b) how much tax you can write off and c) would you rather the "tax" element went to charity and allowed you to buy a piece from an artist you like?
Also, this then almost creates a set point for future pricing. I was following the Texas 2 x 2 auction recently as was interested in the Lund (estimated retail $7,500) when I was told Internet bidding was already up to $18k pre live auction, I knew it was going to go far beyond. Anyone know what it ended up in the live auction?
