Armory Show 2009 Part I

James Kalm strides up the West Side Highway to Pier 94 for this years edition of the Armory Show. Despite tremors of the recession and fear of a collapsing financial market, revelers, dealers and collectors are out in force to take in the latest offerings from the art market. This is the first of an anticipated series of reports to document the Armory Show and its ancillary fairs and goings on.

There was contemporary stuff in the Modern section, Cecely Brown, Kieffer, Lupertz.

[jameskalm]

This era. I've been cronicalling the trend in and around Williamsburg for past last five years.

This is where Americans go to cheat on NY State Sales Tax. And Europeans go here to launder money...Such a fun group.

[LePetitSalon]

Thanks so very much...somehow I got a cold from too much air-kissing at PULSE & SCOPE and I was too sick to go to ARMORY or anything else on Sat & Sun...If it weren't for your fine videos I would have missed it all. BUT....I knew you would do a great job, as usual, on your videos. Totally grateful, snif ....more, more, more!

James,

Again thanks. Great video.

Did you happen to catch the name of the artist who created the photos from Regina Gallery (starting at 7:15 on the video)?

[wizzlewolf]

Oh P.S. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the music!!! Keep it! :-)

[wizzlewolf]

Weird. I posted a comment earlier and it didn't show up here. I said THANK YOU for doing this vid. I had never heard of El Anatsui. I think that piece is breathtaking. I could do without the cereal. Oh well. To each his own. Thanks Mr. Kalm!
