Simon de Pury on Defying Art Market Pessimism (and Crocodiles)

Every month in The Hammer, art-industry veteran Simon de Pury lifts the curtain on his life as the ultimate art-world insider, his brushes with celebrity, and his invaluable insight into the inner workings of the art market.

I am writing these lines as a not negligible part of the traveling circus, that is the art market, is on its way to migrate to Hong Kong. Art Basel with all its related attractions is offline art lovers and professionals alike following frieze Los Angeles and TEFAF Maastricht with the already third important art fair taking place this year. This month has also seen Sotheby’s, Christie’s and Phillips hold their first London sales week of contemporary art of the year.

The mood is not exactly euphoric. With the many, to put it mildly, highly unpleasant events happening around the world lately, it should not be totally surprising that a cooling down would happen at some stage. In Katya Kazakina’s fascinating Artnet article on the last round of auctions, Jeffrey Deitch, who like me has been around for a little while, is quoted as saying “It’s not a soft landing.”

Saskatoon woman shares the art of pysanka, or Ukrainian Easter eggs

A Saskatoon woman is sharing her Ukrainian culture with thousands in the community through the art of making a pysanka, or Easter egg.

Karen Pidskalny has been decorating the elaborate eggs for decades.

“My grandfather was the one who brought the art from Ukraine and taught his daughters, and some of the older cousins, so to me it’s that connection to my family,” Pidskalny said.

One day she offered to teach the tradition to students in her children’s class.

“’Hey, I can come in and teach this,’ and before you knew it, I became known as the pysanka lady,” she said.

Since then she’s taught thousands, and now helps with classes at the Ukrainian Museum of Canada. She said it’s helped her connect with other cultures.

“I love when other cultures are sitting here because they look at the symbols and motifs, and they tell me ‘oh this is what this is in my culture,’ and sometimes the meanings are exactly the same,” she said.

Each year the museum has an egg-cellent turn out, Pidskalny said.

“Everything is very popular, so we’ve added more from last year, and it looks

The NFL Players Association has released the second edition of its team report cards. The report anonymously asks players across the league to weigh in on their particular team’s working conditions.

Everything from the weight room, locker room, and how a players’ family is treated on game days is included in the survey. It included feedback from 1,706 players throughout the league – which equates to more than a 77% response rate, a significant increase from last year’s 60%.

In a note posted to the union’s website earlier this month, NFLPA President JC Tretter explained that the goal of the survey was not only to highlight the positives of each club but to also identify areas of improvement and educate its members. Some team owners have chosen

Kay WalkingStick’s Landscape Paintings Get Beneath the Genre’s Surfaces

IN HER 1997 DIPTYCH ALPINA VENERE, Kay WalkingStick sets a painted image of a hulking mountain in the American Rockies beside a dramatic source slit. The artist sliced ​​open the brown canvas, bisecting it vertically, and under the crisp incision, a crusty layer of fake gems sparkles in the light. Here as elsewhere, WalkingStick makes the land feel corporeal as it tends to cause wounds.

A member of the Cherokee Nation who is also of European descent, WalkingStick has been exploring relationships between people and the earth for five decades. Diptychs are her signature format: often, she pairs landscapes with abstractions. Since the 1960s, her output has been marked by impressive range. During the ’70s, at the height of the feminist art movement, she painted brightly hued images of her nude form. In the decades following, she took up various triumphs of Native American culture alongside tragedies of Native history. Among her few sculptures are Tears (1990), representing a traditional Plains Indian funerary scaffold, but this version is embossed with a poem identifying the structure as a memorial to those lost, and to those never born. It’s a piece about Native grief that WalkingStick made in anticipation

Waikato art initiative turns property fence into canvas for local school kids

A new Hamilton art initiative has seen 50 students from four local schools turn a property fence into a 35-metre mural.

The “Blooming Fence”, located on the corner of Hukanui Rd and Tongariro St in Chartwell, was the brainchild of Shona Hammond, a former Waikato local and founder of the New Zealand Children’s Art House Foundation.

Hammond said Hamilton lacked creative spaces for children.

“[Some] schools are… getting an artist to come in [and] paint a mural that costs… [money]that the children can’t touch, and then tell them this is how art should be… I would say it’s a crime against humanity, art is something that you create yourself.”

Chartwell resident Carolyn Longden agreed with the need for more creative space for children, so she decided to get behind the initiative.

“Children in this area, in this city, desperately need space to be creative, and I decided to provide it.

(Batesville, IN) – The Batesville Community Education Foundation (BCEF) is pleased to announce that its Art on Main student art display in downtown Batesville now features the creative talent of a Batesville Middle School (BMS) student.

This third installation of the school year, located on the side of the Simons Company building on Main Street, displays artwork by BMS seventh grader Billy Cox.

“Art teacher Lynne DiMuzio encouraged students to develop a graphic design to fit our current theme of ‘Education Everywhere,’” explained BCEF board member and Art on Main chair Ryan Holcomb. “Billy created his mural in art class using colored pencils and Sharpie markers. Our committee selected his entry from among those submitted, noting the unique layout and use of bold colors.”

“Billy drew a variety of areas in which you can learn, such as archery, science, chess, farming, and computers, piecing them together like a puzzle,” DiMuzio explained. “This is all focused around the BMS name and the Bulldog mascot.”

Australian Museum Faces Lawsuit for Artwork That Men Cannot Enter

Tasmania’s Museum of Old and New Art (Mona) is facing a lawsuit for exhibiting an artist’s work Ladies Lounge installation that only allows women to enter the installation.

The installation by Kirsha Kaechele refers to a moment in Australian history before women won the right to drink in the nation’s pubs in 1965. Until then, women were either relegated to side rooms, where they were charged exorbitantly, or barred from these kinds of establishments overall.

Intended to point out the hypocrisy, the Mona installation offers an opulent retreat for female guests only with champagne served by male butlers. The exhibition also features some of the museum’s most notable works by artists such as Picasso to Sidney Nolan.

Kaechele told the BBC it is an “essential space for perspective and reset from this strange and disjointed world of male domination.”

At least one visitor, however, has not taken kindly to show. New South Wales resident Jason Lau is suing the museum for discrimination. While visiting Mona last April, Lau paid $35 AUD ($23 USD) for a museum ticket, but he couldn’t see it Ladies Lounge. He claims it violates the state’s anti-discrimination act.
