I feel lucky to live in Los Angeles and its proximity to good art. But, ah, to be able to stroll through the galleries of NYC…
The last few times I visited Manhattan, I made a point of going to the Lower East Side, which was a part of town I never dared venture to, when I actually lived in New York. Last week’s Times [2], had a good overview of what’s showing in some of the exhibition spaces there, and I was drawn to this photographic print, Black Teddy, by Barb Choit. The artist buys 80’s era fine arts posters by Patrick Nagel online, and then partially fades them using a tanning bed, lamps or bleach. Choit’s work will be at the Rachel Uffner Gallery [3] until December 20, 2009.
