This Patron of the Arts in Denver Was 'Saved by Collecting'

1 week ago | nytimes.com | Ted Loos

About 10 years ago, Amanda Precourt turned her attention to buying art. She now sponsors shows and is opening an exhibition space in an old cookie factory. Some collectors buy art because they enjoy it, some do it to show off and some simply want to fill their walls. For others, collecting is a true lifeline, and Amanda Precourt falls into that category.
Franz Kline’s Early Work Reveals His Path to Abstraction

1 week ago | 1stdibs.com | Ted Loos

Art history has only a limited number of truly distinctive gestures, ones that we recognize in an instant and that summon the makers’ names immediately. Franz Kline’s big black slashes on white canvases from the 1950s fall into that category.

"There's no getting around it," one exhibitor said. "More people will see a work at a fair in three or four days than will come into your gallery in 10 years." Andrew Edlin Gallery has been operating since 2001 in New York City, with a particular specialty in self-taught makers.

The Argentine-born collector wants to add to the diversity of museum holdings and get more artists "a seat at the table." Wealthy collectors who want to be involved with museums typically donate works, write checks and sit on a board of trustees - these are the essential steps that keep art institutions afloat. But Ariel Aisiks - the Argentina-born art patron who now lives on New York's Upper East Side - is on a personal mission.
Annabelle Selldorf Applies Her Quiet Elegance to Furniture, Homes and the Reopened Frick Museum

Architect Annabelle Selldorf has achieved a quiet sort of fame. Although not exactly a household name, to pretty much everybody in the worlds of design, art and culture, she is renowned for, appropriately enough, the subtle elegance of her work. “I don’t speak very loudly,” says Selldorf, seated in her office, in Manhattan’s Union Square, on a red leather Union chair — a piece of her own design, from her Vica collection. “But I’m not indecisive.

At the Metropolitan Museum of Art in late February, an increasingly familiar scene played out: A museum was restituting a work of art, giving back something from its collection to the place where it originated—in this case, Greece. The announcement, however, was more celebratory than sheepish. It was being done with the fanfare more often associated with acquiring a great object rather than returning one.

The tectonic plates of the art world are always shifting as regions and countries gain or lose market power. An art fair provides useful data about the changes. Think of it as Walt Disney World's "it's a small world" attraction, but with pricey art for sale.
