San Antonio Review, March 2013
Posted: March 17, 2013 16:24 Last Updated: | Susan TellerThe 2013 McNay Art Museum Fair was early this year, March 2 and 3. It was in the high 60s or low 70s everyday and just beautiful. Ours was the booth between the entrance doors. In particular there was interest in work by William Baziotes, Peggy Bacon, Franz Kline, Angelo Pinto, Anne Ryan, Louis Schanker, and Helen A. Strojny. The fair is located just across the hall from the mid-century American room -- we could practically see Baziotes’ White Bird of 1950, from our booth. With a few hours to play tourist we visited the site of the nineteenth-century Pearl Brewing Company. Currently ...
Report from Miami, December, 2012
Posted: December 10, 2012 11:51 Last Updated: | Susan TellerIt was terrific to be at INK Miami – this past Wednesday through Sunday. The days were in the 70s, sometimes cloudy, with occasional sun showers. Maps showed either twenty-one or twenty-four fairs, more or less even divided between Miami and Miami Beach. INK Miami was at the Suites of Dorchester Hotel on Collins Avenue at 19th Street – essentially the center of the Miami Beach Art Fair World.The show was well attended, right through the days, and the visitors were knowledgeable. Several high school and college groups came through -- they were always a lot of fun to talk to and...

Day Trip, Philadelphia, July 6, 2012
Posted: July 08, 2012 09:43 Last Updated: | Susan TellerIt was 95 degrees in Philadelphia on Friday, but the humidity must have been low. It was a bright, cloud-free day, and perfectly comfortable, even walking the tree-less blocks between the Reading Terminal Market and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. PAFA and Dr. Barnes was in its last three days at the Academy. According to curator Robert Cozzolino, Barnes first showed works from his European collection there in 1923. Included in the PAFA’s show were two works by Angelo Pinto, a large version of Amusement Park, 1935, and a related, smaller study. It’s always great to ...
Fred Becker's Exquisite Corpse
Posted: July 04, 2012 08:26 Last Updated: | Susan TellerThe Exquisite Corpse was an artistic idea used by the Surrealists. Possibly dating to World War I, it took hold in the mid 1920s. Usually more than one person participated. Participants wrote or drew on a sheet of paper that was folded to conceal the previous contribution and then passed the paper along to the next person. The show at the Museum of Modern Art, on view through July 9, is especially concerned with how the Surrealists used the idea of the Exquisite Corpse to create “fantastic composite figures.” The American artist, Fred Becker (1913-2004), made a...

Posted: June 13, 2012 08:44 Last Updated: | Susan TellerSt. Louis Mercantile Review: As with so many places, Spring came early this year to St. Louis, and there were many wonderful gardens to see while driving to Mr. Wizard’s. It was a beautiful weekend on the University of St. Louis campus, with only a few thunderstorms. There were malllard familes with tiny babies in the pond and precious sweet strawberries from Thies' Farm on North Hanley Road. The fair, May 4, 5 and 6, was very well attended – by far the biggest crowd ever. There was interest in the Fred Shane material as well as t...
