Does anyone else miss the New Yorker homes on TheSelby? LA pads aren’t as enchanting and or interesting…

Art Economy

“The luxury of carrying under-performing employees is now a thing of the past.” From the man himself, Larry Gagosian.

“Sander’s monumental photographic project “Man of the Twentieth Century” sought to document the people and typologies of his native Westerwald. He photographed people from all walks of life and became best known for the straightforward full length portraits that recorded his subjects not only with great objectivity but also with a subtle artfulness and psychological depth that has made them the definitive template of what a photographic portrait should be.”

Sander’s Children is up at Danziger Projects on West 26th St. Dec. 3 - Jan. 17th. The small box of white hidden behind Rare Gallery has consistently great shows. Seeing a strongly curated photography show like this one was refreshing.

New Cindy Sherman

“Sherman shoots alone in her studio acting as author, director, actor, make-up artist, hairstylist and wardrobe mistress. Each character is shot in front of a “green screen” then digitally inserted onto backgrounds shot separately. Adding to the complexity, Sherman leaves details slightly askew at each point in the process, undermining the narrative and forcing the viewer to confront the staged aspect of the work.”

The show is up at Metro Pictures Gallery through December 23rd.
