Armory Week: Material Pleasure, Part 1 of 3


Armory: Joseph Kosuth (I think) at Vistamare Gallery, Pescara, Italy


As I was photographing the the range of art made with unusual materials, or of conventional materials used in service to an unlikely end, I realized that by showing you a good deal of it I would be giving you a cross section of the fairs--painting, sculpture, work on paper, in oil, acrylic, fiber, wood, clay, metal and such artmaking esoterica as map pins, bandaids and fake fingernails. Material Pleasure is divided into three parts. I'll post Parts 2 and 3 soon.


I included information where I had it, but too many dealers in too many fairs didn't provide wall labels at all. Very frustrating for a non-clairvoyant art blogger. But I've posted plenty of details to get your nose right up close to the surface.
