With
property values in a slump and the stock market stumbling, art prices
are soaring – 80 million for a Francis bacon painting. Artists
from every country and continent, many who would not have imagined,
till now, are supporting themselves through their craft and enriching
the art world through their imaginative and creative energy. This
is an exciting time for the public, for artists, for collectors,
galleries and museums. It is also a time where the value placed on
particular works of art seems not to be an issue, where the sky is
the limit. In this atmosphere, how does one approach collecting?
Is it a labor of love? Is it an investment? How does one get access
to works? This and more will be touched upon in this presentation
and discussion. $5 Adults, $4 Seniors/Educators, $2 Students/Children, FREE HVCCA Members
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
Size Matters: XXL – recent large-scale paintings, the second installment of a two-part exhibition investigating scale in contemporary painting, opened to the public with rave reviews on Sunday, September 16, 2007. Featuring 31 artists from 9 different countries, XXL presents masters works by Daniel Buren, Tim Eitel, Zhang Enli, Jonathan Meese, Neo Rauch, Tom Wesselmann as well as newcomers Kristina Jansson and Ryan Pierce. From German artist Jonathan Meese’s 20-foot mixed media exploration—incorporating photographs, found objects, journal papers, graffiti tags, and puddles of paint—to iconic American artist Richard Jackson’s living room set doused in paint, XXL investigates painting’s boundaries.
