Bernd Becher: In Memoriam
Bernd Becher, 75, influential Minimalist photographer who with his wife, Hilla Becher, was celebrated for black-and-white photographs of industrial structures, died on June 22 in Rostock, Germany, following heart surgery. Bernd and Hilla Becher met while studying at Dusseldorf Academy and were married in 1961. They had their first gallery exhibition in 1963; retrospectives of their work were held at the Stedelijk Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven (1981), Dia in New York (1989-91) and the Kunstverein Cologne (1991). Both were influential teachers at the Kunstakademie Dusseldorf. (credit: ArtNet Magazine)

Pas de soucis...
Curated by Petra Bungert, Center for Contemporary Non-Objective Art (CCNOA), Pas de soucis …, French for ‘no worries, mate’, conveys the laissez-faire attitude conditional to the noonday heat of southern France. Such an environment may seem antithetical to the rigorous and disciplined art practice, yet one need only think of Paul Cézanne’s tireless gaze upon Mont Ste-Victoire — located not so far away — as he explored and developed a new visual language and human perception that would change the course of art and thus create a cool compatibility between summer nonchalance and artistic thought and exercise. This year NOS and CCNOA present the work of 21 international artists — John Armleder, John Beech, Cedric Christie, Ward Denys, Clemens Hollerer, Andrew Huston, Renée Levi, Mathieu Mercier, Gerold Miller, Olivier Mosset, Benjamin Rivière, Perry Roberts, Gerwald Pockenschaub, Léopoldine Roux, Michal Skoda, Tilman & Wolfgang Glum, Emmanuelle Villard, Jan Maarten Voskuil, Dan Walsh, and Beat Zoderer — who explore the boundless territories of abstract, nonobjective, concrete, and conceptual art through a dialogue of form and color, working with an eclectic choice of materials, including industrial-based and found objects. By alternately fusing the abstract, the decorative, and the utilitarian, their works interact on the borders of painting, sculpture, installation, architecture, and video, while presenting a complex visual vocabulary, both playful and serious, and expressing the dynamic diversity and relevance of abstract art practice today. The exhibition includes large site-specific indoor and outdoor installations, paintings, objects, multiples, audio and video works and is accompanied by a 24-pages full-color publication.

William Anastasi: Raw
For this exhibition William Anastasi has recreated seminal site-specific works dating from the mid-1960s. These early pieces are a testament to the artist's interest and pioneering efforts in site-specific projects, as well as in the medium of drawing. The artworks incisively explore the nature and behavior of drawing in the gallery space through different strategies, bringing to the surface questions about site and medium specificity, materiality, and the dematerialization of the art object.

Points of Departure: Six Australian Artists
Tobey Fine Arts presents Points of Departure, an exhibition featuring the works of six Australian artists who represent a distinct style emerging from the antipodean art world. Combining elements of graphic design with overt quotations from twentieth century modernism, artists John Aslanidis, Richard Bell, Cathy Blanchflower, Christopher Dean, Helga Groves and Matthew Johnson offer a visually provocative collection of works veiled with references to Australiana. Points of Departure may be explored through various interpretations: The shared physical departure point of Australia– the isolated, creative breeding ground of these artists; the departure from modern artistic notions, specifically Op art, and its current position in evolution; the employment of the graphic elements “point” or pixel to create visually complex works. In addition, the reference to the iconic Australian Aboriginal composition comprised of points, or “dots” is difficult to ignore when paralleled with works using a similar graphic aesthetic by contemporary Australian artists.

Julian Dashper: The Abstract Office
A solo exhibition by New Zealand-based artist Julian Dashper. Dashper's work focuses on the histories, theories, and more general or popular ideas of abstraction (in particular, abstract painting), conceptualism and minimalism as a working methodology. The geographical positioning of New Zealand globally and how this country receives and disseminates visual information is also a core subject in Dashper’s work. His practice manifests itself in various forms, including paintings, unique photographs of paintings, found objects which he infuses with abstract images, various multiples plus limited edition CD and 12” polycarbonate recordings of impromptu performances he has been involved with or heavily orchestrated. Dashper's exhibition at Esso Gallery will present a survey of work dating from 1992-2007.

Comprising work in a broad range of media—including painting, sculpture, photography, film, video, and performance art—the exhibition is organized around themes based on media, geography, formal concerns, collective aesthetic, and political impulses. Curated by Connie Butler (MoMA), the exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue.

Gego: Between Transparency and the Invisible
Gego: Between Transparency and the Invisible explores the intriguing relationship between line and light in the work of the Venezuelan artist Gego (1912-1994). The exhibition will trace Gego's interest in “mak[ing] visible the invisible” from a rarely seen series of monotypes of the early 1950s to her delicate drawings without paper and tejeduras (woven paper pieces) of the late 1970s-80s. Juxtaposing important artworks produced from the mid-1950s to the late 1980s and bringing two bodies of Gego's work into dialogue for the first time, the exhibition will foreground the critical role that drawing and printmaking played in the artist's oeuvre. Curated by Mari Carmen Ramirez, Wortham Curator of Latin American Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
Arts Action Alert: Urge Members of Congress
to Co-Sponsor the Artist Deduction Bill
The U.S. tax system accords unequal treatment to creators and collectors who donate tangible works (e.g., paintings or manuscripts) to museums, libraries, educational or other collecting institutions. A collector may take a tax deduction for the fair-market value of the work, but creators may deduct only their "basis" value—essentially the cost of materials such as paint and canvas. Urge Members of Congress to co-sponsor bipartisan legislation, S. 548 or H.R.1524, which would allow artists to take a fair-market value deduction for works given to and retained by nonprofit institutions. Write your members of congress now — it only takes 2 minutes online!

Written on the Wall and in the Wind
Critic Jerry Saltz remembers artist Sol Lewitt. "He was an artistic giant whose contributions were so far-reaching that he straddled the categories of Minimalism, Conceptualism and Postminimalism. In the late 1960s, LeWitt created an enormous opening for other artists..."
Sol Lewitt: In Memoriam
Sol Lewitt, Paragraphs on Conceptual Art (1967) Conceptual art is not necessarily logical. The logic of a piece or series of pieces is a device that is used at times only to be ruined... The ideas need not be complex. Most ideas that are successful are ludicriously simple... Ideas are discovered by intuition. What the work of art looks like isn't too important. It has to look like something if it has physicaly form. No matter what form it may finally have, it must begin with an idea. It is the process of conception and realization with which the artist is concerned... Conceptual art doesn't really have much to do with mathematics, philosophy, or any other mental discipline. The mathematics used by most artists is simple arithmetic or simple number systems. The philosophy of the work is implicit in the work and is not an illustration of any system of philisophy... Conceptual art is only good when the idea is good."

As early as 1949, specific signs and symbols begin to appear in von Wiegand's colorful, abstract compositions; painting titles refer to shrines, mandalas and Buddhist concepts.

Hans Wegner was one of the most innovative and prolific of all Danish furniture designers.

His work belongs to the minimalist school, but preserves function. He is perhaps best known for his many beautifully and cleverly designed chairs using the finest of craftmanship.
