avv/gs set 1-22 #685354

NEW YORK CITY — A prestigious art fair, The Art Show will present 70 of the nation’s leading art dealers February 22–26 at the Park Avenue Armory at 67th Street.

Organized by the Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA) for the 19th year, the show will feature museum-quality work including paintings, sculpture, drawings, prints, photographs and ceramics from the Nineteenth Century to the Twenty-First Century. The show and its gala preview on February 21 will benefit Henry Street Settlement, one of New York City’s best-known and most effective social services and arts agencies; for tickets, call 212-766-9200, extension 248.

“For 2007, we have assembled an extraordinary group of the most important and influential art dealers working the United States today. From key emerging and established artists to the greats of the last century, we have once again struck the right balance of contemporary and Modern work,” said Roland Augustine, the new president of the ADAA and partner in Luhring Augustine. “Collectors consistently look forward to The Art Show as they enjoy its intimate scale, allowing them to visit exhibiting galleries multiple times.”

Timed with The Art Show, the ADAA has organized gathering of museum directors, including Glenn Lowry of The Museum of Modern Art and Sir Nicholas Serota of the Tate, London, who will participate in an ADAA Collectors’ Forum on February 24 from 10 am to noon at The Museum of Modern Art. The panel discussion, “The Museum As Collector,” will focus on how leading institutions compete with key collectors for the world’s most important works of art.

The show will be held concurrently with The Armory Show, which has moved its March dates so that both fairs can be held in February, providing international collectors ease of access to both events. The Armory Show will be February 23–26 at Piers 88 and 90 on the West Side.

Eight solo exhibitions of work by major artists will be on view at The Art Show, including Louise Bourgeois’s recent small bronze sculpture, shown by Cheim & Read. The 95-year-old artist’s work will be the subject of a retrospective at the Tate Modern in London in October.

A survey of Jennifer Bartlett’s signature printings on small steel plates will be on view at Locks Gallery. PaceWildenstein is presenting a solo exhibition entitled “Ad Reinhardt: 1945 Works on Paper.”

Paintings from the early 1960s by Pop artist Richard Smith will be on view at Richard L. Feigen & Co. Luhring Augustine will show a small retrospective of work by Janine Antoni, including the artist’s well-known triptych photograph, “Mom and Dad, 1944.”

Lehmann Maupin will exhibit work by the young Taiwanese painter Suling Wang, whose paintings are in many major collections, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York.

Chicago artists David Klumen’s landscape paintings will be the subject of a solo exhibition at Richard Gray Gallery, Chicago and New York. Made specifically for show, Kate Shepherd is creating a series of small, highly saturated, multipaneled paintings, which will be on view at Galerie Lelong.

New galleries showing include Sonnabend, Andrea Rosen Gallery, D’Amelio Terras, and Peter Freeman, Inc, all of New York; and Rhona Hoffman Gallery and Donald Young Gallery of Chicago.

Not every artist can lecture at the 2005 Einstein Centennial Conference in Berlin or be named by Time magazine as one of 100 innovators of the new millennium, but Matthew Ritchie has. A work from Ritchie’s 2005 installation in the Whitney Museum of American Art’s, “Remote Viewing,” will be a highlight at Andrea Rosen Gallery.

Best known for her cut paper silhouettes, Kara Walker attacks issues concerning race, gender and sexuality. A number of new works by the artist will be on view at Sikkema Jenkins & Co. Walker’s midcareer retrospective opens at the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, later this year and will travel to the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City.

The landscape is a recurring motif in Garhard Richter’s oeuvre. One of Richter’s most arresting landscapes, “Landschaft mit Wolke (238),” 1969, can be seen at Zwirner & Wirth. Lillian Heidenberg will feature work by contemporary Chinese artists working today, including Feng Zhengjie, Wang Guangyi and Zhang Hua.

McKee Gallery will show new work by Vija Celmins.

Galerie St Etienne will exhibit a drawing by Gustav Klimt, “Portrait of a Lady in a Fur Collar,” circa 1916, one of the first works of art to be restituted from Vienna after Austria passed its groundbreaking Holocaust restitution law in 1998.

Pace Prints will highlight a group of etchings from 1930 to 1936 by Pablo Picasso, which were published by one of the most influential art dealers of the Twentieth Century, Ambroise Vollard.

A monumental sculpture by Japanese Pop master Taksahi Murakami, “Mr Pointy,” 2002–03, will be a highlight of the show. “Mr Pointy” made his New York City debut as larger version in front of Rockefeller Center in the fall of 2003. Another version will be offered by Greenberg Van Doren Gallery, St Louis.

A large-scale photograph by Robert Polidori depicting the devastation of Hurricane Katrina will be exhibited by Edwynn Houk Gallery. The photograph, “2732 Orleans Avenue, New Orleans, Louisiana, 2005,” was recently on view at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

All Art Show exhibitors are members of the Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA), a nonprofit membership organization of the nation’s leading galleries. 2007 marks the 45th anniversary of the ADAA. For information, www.artdealers.org or 212-940-8925.
