Street Art Series: New York and Sao Paulo
found by Nish / about 7 hours ago / Source: www.bbc.co.uk
Street Art – art you can afford (to look at). In the year Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie bought an image by British urban artist Banksy for $2m, this two-part BBC series explores the global boom in street art. Some see it as a way of reclaiming public space, to others it’s reckless vandalism. The series looks at the phenomenon of street art in two very different cities, New York and Sao Paulo
The flawed thinking behind buying art as an investment
by Nish / about 7 hours ago / Source: www.artreview.com
Hmmm supply and demand. You have an illiquid asset that is probably 75% asset, 25% luxury good (or somewhere in between). You have less buyers with less disposable income. It is safe to say art prices are coming down.

Helmut Newton: Fired
by Nish / 1 day ago
This Helmut Newton show opens on November 29th in Berlin. There was a recent NYC artworld controversy over a cease and desist order that blogger Paddy Johnson received for posting a nude Newton photo of Naomi Campbell in reference to a Campbell retrospective photo exhibition at Art Photo Expo in Miami . The Campbell hosted opening in Miami is expected to be one of the bigger parties of the Miami Fairs (Dec2-7).
A Proposal for a New WPA to Revive New York's Infrastructure
found by Nish / 2 days ago / Source: nymag.com
Over the past eight years—the time it has taken America to absorb the body blows of 9/11 and Katrina, launch two wars, watch its savings shrivel and its debt balloon, and elect its first black president—a team of experts has been studying the question of whether to fix the rickety old Tappan Zee Bridge or throw it out and buy a new one. The panel has finally plumped for the second option: a $16 billion juggernaut, with room for express buses and commuter rail. Hallelujah!

found by Nish / 6 days ago / Source: nymag.com
With both the housing and art-bubble markets deflating fast, perhaps it’s no surprise that MoMA’s “Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern Dwelling” didn’t do so well as real estate.The architects were allowed to sell their dream houses after the show closed October 26.Only Horden Cherry Lee Architects’ microcompact home has found a buyer. Originally priced at $475,000, in August, a month into the show, the price was sliced by $100,000.
Crazed Hipster Erupts at RAW in Williamsburg
by Nish / 6 days ago
The WGA’s RAW release party advertised an art fight, a live competition of artists creating works on canvas. One crazed 110 pound woman took the “art fight” a bit too seriously. The confused crowd stared as a young woman attacked blank canvases. I may have been heard saying, “this is terrible”...I like most of the crowd thought this was the art fight. As one of the real artists tried to stop the insanity of the “Ultimate Art Fighter,” the crowd stared and awkwardly laughed thinking that the artists were taking this whole fighting thing a bit seriously. When the bouncer carried the crazed woman away, the crowd suddenly realized that the blank canvasses had been ruined by paint, fists and insanity. The artists made due and the show went on. Other than this, RAW was a success with WGA galleries open all night and Artlog artists on display throughout the after-party.
Some Artlog artists showing: Austin Power, Fanny Allié and Mari Lou
