Chelsea Stroll The Black Box By Charlie Finch By: aarenbrowns | - Veteran curator and Vanessa Beecroft collector Simon Cerigo and I were cruising down 11th Avenue, between openings, last Friday
night. "Look at all the black boxes," I marveled, gazing at the Chelsea glass box buildings, finally completed last spring, and all
the same design (glass and more glass), because that kind of New York building usually doesn't need any city clearances to get made.
"They breathe money," Simon replied. "There's the Barry Diller building," ... Tags:BLACK BOX
John Mcwhinnie Bookworld By Charlie Finch By: aarenbrowns | - The loss of book dealer, promoter, collector and champion John McWhinnie in a water accident last weekend at a young age is a
devastating one to those who love books, especially old books, which, these days, is just about every book.
The smell of the paper, the design of the cover, the tattered pages and convenient cocktail napkin employed as a bookmark, all experiences before the reading, remain the hallmarks of John, as presentable and gracious a fellow as ever walke ... Tags:McWhinnie BOOKWORLD
New Art Overload By Charlie Finch By: aarenbrowns | - Two decades ago I had dinner in Williamsburg, Va., with a business colleague and close friend of my fathers named Wilkinson, who had
devoted much of his intellectual life to trying to solve the origins and purpose of Stonehenge.
Over cocktails, I began to question the old gent for the umpteenth time about his views on the Druids, the stones, the astrology of
it all, when Wilkinson excused himself. After some minutes, I grew concerned and walked out on ... Tags:Art OVERLOAD
Picking Out Your Criminal Defense Lawyer By: mhelmallari | - In relation to courtrooms, there may be practically nothing more persuasive as opposed to battle of wits concerning the prosecutor along with the criminal protection attorney. In fact, this duel is becoming so fascinating that plots of textbooks, tv displays, and perhaps video game titles have revolved approximately these persons. Now the characters Atticus Finch (from To Eliminate a Mocking Bird), Perry Mason (from your novels and tv present by Erle Stanly Gardner) and Phoenix Wright (through t ...

Stephen Douglas Hooper Remembering Hoop By Charlie Finch By: aarenbrowns | - I just found out from the opera singer Eva Nebeska that the legendary car artist Hoop, born Stephen Douglas Hooper, died of cancer in September at his home in Clifton, N.J. Hoop was 64.
I first met this gentle genius while smoking a joint with Hoops mentor, the late party promoter Baird Jones, in the back of one of Hoops furry vans outside the Paterson Museum in 1987. Baird was curating a show of East Village artists, like Sophie VDT, Mitch Corber, Skip Snow and Rhonda Zwillinger, at ... Tags:Hooper REMEMBERING HOOP

Julia Sherman Julia! By Charlie Finch By: aarenbrowns | - When my art critic friends received a press release about nun's habits from ace Cynthia Rowley / David Zwirner publicist Michelle
Finocchi, they immediately deleted it, but I went to the opening on Friday night at JF & Son fashion boutique on University Place,
and it was the event of the year.

done before, it is a paragon of mindless beauty.

David Hume Hume At 300 By Charlie Finch By: aarenbrowns | - We should not allow the year 2011 to slip by without noting that it is the 300th anniversary of the birth of the revolutionary Scottish philosopher David Hume. Without Hume's fundamental insight that causation and, indeed, all rational discourse are closed functions of human subjectivity, the works, to cite a small example of Hume's influence, of Bruce Nauman and his apostle Ryan Trecartin, which play copious games with our assumptions about cause and effect, would not exist.
Born in 1711, ... Tags:David Hume HUME
Art Market Watch Occupy Lichtenstein By Charlie Finch By: aarenbrowns | - With another classic Roy Lichtenstein (and it must be pointed out that this "classic" lacks the one essential ingredient of the most desirable Lichtensteins, a woman) breaking the $40 million mark at Christie's on Nov. 8, 2011, what One-Percent-type conclusions can be drawn?
First, you might think that $40 mil is such a high price that it would prohibit resale at a substantial profit -- and you would be wrong. Iconic Warhols have gone for double that price in recent auctions, so the ... Tags:OCCUPY LICHTENSTEI
Les Rogers Les Is More By Charlie Finch By: aarenbrowns | - I have been a friend and fan of Les Rogers and his paintings since he started showing at Leo Koenig's Tribeca space in 2000. I liked the fact that Les was a surfer from Long Branch, N.J., had a wry sense of humor and could paint thoughtfully in just about any style.
I also love the arc of Les' often brilliant career: lost in the shuffle of Koenig's boy-band ethos, rebounding by selling some paintings to Elton John and dating socialite novelist Paula Froelich, of whom he did some lustful, r ... Tags:Les Rogers LES
Beach Boys Faded Smile By Charlie Finch By: aarenbrowns | - In December of 1966, I opened my copy of the Brit music newspaper Melody Maker, and espied a whimsical picture of a corner store selling pop images of smiles. The ad copy read, "coming in January the new Beach Boys' album Smile." Last week, 45 years later, I walked over to Norman Isaacs' music store near Cooper Union and finally bought the album, now a two CD set, dubbed The Smile Sessions, from Capitol Records.
It has been so long, this promise of the greatest rock album never released, t ... Tags:Beach Boys FADED SMILE
Maurizio Cattelan A Hole In His Soul By Charlie Finch By: aarenbrowns | - A film crew doing a documentary on Maurizio Cattelan called me on Thursday afternoon and said, "Maurizio really wants you at his opening tonight," so I delayed returning to snow-torn Westchester and journeyed to the land of the empty ramps, also known as the Goog.
After kissing Klaus Biesenbach and handing him a "Smile" button, I bounded up said ramps, all the way to the top and found Maurizio Cattelan, as fretful as I have ever seen him, clinging to a tiny droll little man, who turned out ... Tags:Maurizio Cattelan

Art & Politics How To Destroy The Chicoms By Charlie Finch By: aarenbrowns | - It must be remembered that the detention of Ai Weiwei is but part of a multipronged strategy by the Chinese Communist Party to stifle and kill dissent of all kinds in China. At the moment, for example, Chinese troops are forcibly removing all monks between the ages of 18 and 40 from the Kirti monastery in eastern Tibet, all 7 of the courageous Chinese human rights attorneys in Beijing have been missing for over a month, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiao Bo is serving a long prison sentence and ...
