Holton Rower at The Hole
15 May 2012 by
Holton Rower's first solo exhibition in New York opened at The Hole on April 28th. A stark contrast to the bare white walls, Holton's psychedelic pour paintings erupt from the walls in a wild array of colors. Rower creates these paintings by pouring doctored paint onto plywood. Though the process seems simplistic, it yields beautiful and unexpected results: paintings that look like coral, geodes, petrified wood, surfaces of distant planets, marble, the Aurora Borealis and more. See photos below!

James Welling at Emory University Hospital
14 May 2012 by
Last December, we held a fundraiser to help us complete an installation at Atlanta's Emory University Hospital. Thanks to the enormous response and outpouring of contributions from our supporters, we were able to install fourteen beautiful photographs by James Welling in the hospital's Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences in April 2012.
The photographs are from Welling's Glass House series, featuring Philip Johnson's eponymous house in New Canaan, Connecticut. In each of the vibrant images, the single architectural site is transformed by nature and colored lenses. The photographs completely transform the space, turning the once sterile environment into a landscape of dreamy colors and images.
Thank you to all our supporters for making this project possible! See more photos below.

Frieze Art Fair
10 May 2012 by
RxArt took a field trip out to Randall's Island for the New York Frieze Art Fair. With 180 participating galleries, a sculpture park, and a D.A.P book shop, there was a lot to see. Though we missed Mark Ruffalo and Gavin Brown cooking up sausages on the opening day, we had a great time strolling through the fair and seeing all it had to offer (and we spotted Natalie Portman with baby in tow). Exhibited were some of our favorite artists and collaborators, as well as many others we hope to work with in the future. See photos below for more!

Ryan McGinley at Team Gallery
04 May 2012 by
On Wednesday evening Ryan McGinley showcased his newest work, Animals and Grids, at both Team Gallery locations. Animals featured nude studio portraits of friends and models with their animal of choice, leading to humorous, beautiful, occasionally painful, and generally unpredictable results. Grids, a much more emotional and intimate-feeling body of work, focuses on close-up portraits of young fans at concerts.
Atlas Sound played a brief but fun set on the rooftop of the Wooster Street location, which was shut down but then moved into the gallery. See below for more photos and video!

Staff Pick: Cindy Sherman Retrospective at MoMA
27 February 2012 by
On Sunday I went up to MoMA to see the highly-anticipated Cindy Sherman retrospective. A master of disguise, Cindy Sherman has assumed a multitude of roles throughout her career, both in front of the camera—as a housewife, aristocrat or clown—and behind it—as a photographer, stylist, and art director.
From her groundbreaking series "Untitled Film Stills" (1977-80) (Sherman in stereotypical female roles inspired by 1950s and 1960s films), her ornate history portraits (1989-90) (in which she poses as aristocrats and milkmaids in the manner of Old Master paintings), and her larger-than-life society portraits from 2008 that address the representation of aging in the context of contemporary obsessions with youth and status, Sherman styles herself into female archetypes circulated by our image-driven culture.The Cindy Sherman retrospective is open at MoMA until June 11th. Be sure to check it out!
