stealing art

February 9, 2010

a new film about the struggle for control of the barnes foundation

also of note, something i’ve been meaning to link to for awhile, the polaroid collection crisis

apparently powers that be are trying to break up and sell off the polaroid collection through sotheby’s auction house. writer, photography critic and blogger, a.d. coleman has been a strong and almost lone voice in trying to save the polaroid collection. his blog has been on top of this story for a long time now and it is sort of a shame no other photography or art blogs have really picked up on it.

i-95 limited edition prints

January 25, 2010

via zoe strauss:

Get ready to get some of the “Countdown Dated Edition Photos.” The Countdown Dated Edition Photos” are a series of photos including a photo from each year spanning the duration of the I-95 project, 2000 to 2010. The sale of these photos will help pay for the 2010 I-95 show. And, believe me, the 2010 show will be spectacular. Rest assured that if you get one, it’s money well spent.

Starting this month, I will be posting the photos for sale at random times and they will be available until May 2010 or until they sell out. The photos are 250 bucks a pop, and will be made in a dated edition of 5. Photos will be offered in chronological order…
Image size for each photo is 7.5″x9.5″, paper size is 8.5.”x11″, and the photos are archival ink-jet prints.

These are a limited edition 2009/2010 issue…they will be signed as such and come with a letter from me. This means that I am only printing 5 of these photos at 7.5″ by 9.5″ between right now and May 2010. Who knows what I’ll print in 2010, but these are it from this year. Who knows what I’ll do in 2010, period.
