Not too fond of the assemblages in the first few frames--reminds me of my son's dorm room in college, I'm afraid.<br /><br />Loved seeing the show through your blog--your eyes.

While I suspect my level of art appreciation falls far below that of your typical reader, this doesn't keep me from greatly appreciating your posts and insights into the world of art and photography. <br /><br />As for the stark booths at Art Basil Miami, I don't "get it" and that especially goes for the first photo and for the pile of wood pallets in the second photo. I stacked wood pallets as part of a warehouse job during my youth and none of us ever viewed the task as creating art. <br /><br />But to each his own (or to each her own). Mostly I'm commenting to thank you for all the time and hard work you put into this blog. It is interesting, informative, and entertaining, and also greatly enjoyed. Congratulations on the good showing in Miami and have a great 2010.<br /><br />Frank.frank_ezellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16022704587879936948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-44127869788692563702009-12-11T09:20:18.350-05:002009-12-11T09:20:18.350-05:00I like the spare look of the booths -- even that f...I like the spare look of the booths -- even that first one grabs my attention. They make me want to see them in person. Your booth is nicely understated.<br /><br />And Jorma Puranen -- gorgeous! One of those "Why didn't I think of that?" though really, the final product is much more than just a great idea.Joe Holmeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08741278269759513642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-17969000710610654662009-12-10T11:55:35.183-05:002009-12-10T11:55:35.183-05:00Terrific selection.

Particularly the table and chairs, which I have become obsessed with since Frieze art fair as I think they too send a sublimimal message about the galleries ethos. Sounds a bit pretentious I know but it is an addictive sport.<br /><br />Your main image in your booth, who is it by?<br /><br />Rineke Dijkstra's image is my favourite by far. she has managed to give dignity to a culture much derided by the British media, and created something very beautiful.indigo16https://www.blogger.com/profile/16982477144454205765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-59562318779940198102009-12-10T06:39:58.919-05:002009-12-10T06:39:58.919-05:00...the robert longo piece might have been the brea......the robert longo piece might have been the breast in show.....no?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-43609388747520367172009-12-10T04:52:29.897-05:002009-12-10T04:52:29.897-05:00I'm not really familiar with Rineke Dijkstra (...I'm not really familiar with Rineke Dijkstra (except for that lovely picture of a young girl on the beach Botticelli-style), but I'll certainly be looking her up now I see she's been photographing here in Liverpool.
