(All photos: Linda Yablonsky) YOU KNOW IT’S SPRING in New York when the sea of black that describes the art world’s rigorous dress code changes to color. “Red and racy” was the mode d’access last Tuesday night for the New Museum’s annual benefit gala, which appeared to put the institution in the black. All the same, guests approaching Cipriani Wall Street were instantly outclassed by two gleaming red Ferraris sitting nose-to-nose on the sidewalk. Loiterers Instagrammed the cars like mad. But we did go in, and all was glitter, glamour, and glory for the evening’s honorees, Annabelle Selldorf and Lynda Benglis. Nobody’s fool was also in the room, namely Benglis. “Lynda Benglis!” Everyone is so nice these days. Esche had to follow this. — Linda Yablonsky

Radiolab Player demo Robert Krulwich: Oh wait, you're listening-- Voice-over Girl: OK. Jad Abumrad: All right. J.A.: All right. Voice-over Girl: You are listening to Radiolab, Radiolab. J.A.: Hey, I'm Jad Abumrad. R.K.: I'm Robert Krulwich. J.A.: This is Radiolab and today we are desperately seeking symmetry. R.K.: And thus far we are failing-- J.A.: desperately. R.K.: Because maybe, maybe, you know, if we took-- if we rejiggered our whole approach, because symmetry, you know, is always really about-- J.A.: Love? R.K.: No, it's-- it's-- J.A.: What? R.K.: No, we're changing the subject now. J.A.: Nah. R.K.: It's about the way things look when they're flipped around or turned or rotated. J.A.: Remember when I asked you that personal question?

Area Du 26 mars au 6 avril 2013 Lancement le mardi 26 mars Avec l'artiste Pat Andrea Toutes les semaines, le prix d'une œuvre d'art atteint des records. Dans la presse, l'argent est devenu le seul critère de reconnaissance. Pour ceux qui aiment, pour les artistes, les collectionneurs et même pour les institutions, l'art dont on parle, retranché derrière ses millions, paraît inatteignable. Pat Andrea réalisera un mural gratuit et éphémère au charbon de bois sur les murs de la galerie. Gratuit car ce ne sera pas une œuvre à vendre, mais bien un geste gratuit au sens latin du terme gratuitus, c'est à dire désintéressé. Éphémère, car l'œuvre amenée à disparaître ne pourra pas être récupérée malgré tout par le marché de l'art et ses institutions. Déroulement de l'évènement Allumage du feuMardi 26 marsComme une performance, Pat Andrea allumera le feu qui lui donnera ses outils. Mardi 2 Avril de 19h à 21hTable RondeL'association Sauvons l'art!

Mat Gleason: What Artists Need to Know About Gallerists Staying Current I made the leap from critic to curator, but not from writer to non-writer. My decision to open a contemporary art gallery in Los Angeles was as much a case of cabin fever as it was a love of putting art shows together. There is plenty to write about on this adventure through the inner workings of it all. Please join me... We had our big opening party on a Saturday, but Wednesday was my first real day at work. Studio visits? For years, I made a game of asking gallerists at Culver City and Bergamot if they had seen a great show at a nearby gallery, one less than a hundred feet from their front doors. What does it mean for artists that the person who has the power to grant you a career-changing solo show doesn't get out and keep current? So here's a lesson for you all: coverage in the art media is doubly important because gallery owners will stop and read an art magazine or surf the art news websites.
Contemporary Art Daily Garry Winogrand's Touring Exhibition The first retrospective in 25 years of work by artist Garry Winogrand—renowned photographer of New York City and of American life from the 1950s through the early 1980s —will debut at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) in spring of 2013. Jointly organized by SFMOMA and the National Gallery of Art, Washington, Garry Winogrand is conceived and guest-curated by the photographer and author Leo Rubinfien, who was among the youngest of Winogrand’s circle of friends in the 1970s. As initiating curator, Rubinfien will work closely on the project with Erin O’Toole, assistant curator of photography at SFMOMA; and Sarah Greenough, senior curator of photographs at the National Gallery of Art. Though widely recognized as one of the preeminent photographers of the 20th century, Winogrand’s work remains largely unexplored and incompletely published. In conjunction with the retrospective, SFMOMA will publish a catalogue with essays by Rubinfien; Sandra S.
