More Lester Flatt's 1942 Martin D-18, plays lead in Heritage's October 9 Vintage Guitars and Musical Instruments AuctionDALLAS, TX.- There are countless guitars of significance in Heritages October 9 Vintage Guitars and Musical Instruments Signature® Auction, among them the 1939 Martin D-45 deemed among American guitars irreplaceable treasures. The 1978 Gretsch Roy Clark prototype made for the Hee-Haw host. The Eddie Van Halen-Steve Ripley collaborations. Classical guitars (and more!) from Washington, D.C.s celebrated, legendary The Guitar Shop. But one guitar among the more than 400 stands just a little bit taller, sounds just a little bit louder, maybe means just a little bit more.

More Gagosian and Helen Frankenthaler Foundation to publish expanded Frankenthaler monograph by John ElderfieldNEW YORK, NY.- Gagosian, in collaboration with the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation, announced the publication of a new edition of John Elderfields Frankenthaler, the definitive monograph on the artist.

The revised edition features more than three hundred full-color reproductions of her paintings, ... More In 'High Potential,' Kaitlin Olson gets smartNEW YORK, NY.- This month, actress Kaitlin Olson was in her Los Angeles kitchen slicing a lemon. I was really cutting it hard, she said. I put 100% of my effort into it. The knife slipped, nearly severing her pinkie, which explained why, on a morning a few days later in Manhattan, Olson, 49, had accessorized her black silk blouse and black pants with a black finger splint. (She also wore an array of diamonds, one the size of a kumquat.) The look was working. A waiter asked if she was in town for fashion week. There are few things that Olson tall and emphatically blond, with screwball energy does lightly. As concerns comedy, physical stunts and also apparently cooking, her approach is full contact. On the set of Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the cheeky FX comedy she has co-starred in for nearly 20 years, she has broken her foot, slashed ... More Common ground, and conflict, between 2 stars of land artSANTA FE, NM.- Artist and writer Robert Smithson, famous for his austere and monumental Spiral Jetty unfurling in Utahs Great Salt Lake, died at 35 in a plane crash in 1973. Teresita Fernández was born in Miami in 1968. By the time she was in art school, Smithson was well installed in the canon as a theorist of minimalism and a pioneer of the large outdoor sculptures that he termed earthworks. Now, Smithson and Fernández, a 2005 MacArthur fellow known for sculptural clouds of fragmentary materials like glass and graphite, share equal billing at Site Santa Fe in a survey of their often materially varied work. More than 30 pieces by Fernández, representing 30 years, are juxtaposed with roughly the same number of Smithson works, made in the last decade of his life. The artists share long engagements with deep time, geology, ... More Junk food, high artNEW YORK, NY.- Last week, Noah Verrier bought a box of crustless peanut butter and jelly sandwiches from a Publix grocery store. He unwrapped one and studied its pale, spongy exterior. He took a bite. The sunlight in his studio illuminated a droplet of strawberry goo. Where others might have seen a Smuckerâs Uncrustables sandwich, Verrier saw a muse. He spent two days capturing its likeness in a moody oil painting â and then sold that original painting for just under $5,000 in an online auction that ended Sunday. Verrier, 44, an artist who lives in Tallahassee, Florida, has carved out a lucrative niche on social media with his still life paintings of junk food. He has rendered greasy cheesesteaks, extra-large sodas and dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets in delicate brushstrokes. ... More John Cassaday, award-winning comic book artist, dies at 52NEW YORK, NY.- John Cassaday, an award-winning comic book artist best known for his runs on Planetary, a series he helped create about a trio of adventurers investigating strange events, and Astonishing X-Men, on which his work offered readers a new entry point to a decades-old franchise, died Sept. 9 in New York City. He was 52. Tara A. Martinez, his partner, said he died of cardiac arrest in a hospital. In a medium known for its often fantastical scenarios, Cassadays drawings conveyed a sense of realism. Nowhere was that more evident than in his work on Planetary, which he created with writer Warren Ellis. His work on that series rightfully put him on the map, Mark Waid, a comic book editor and writer, wrote on Facebook. Writing in his newsletter after Cassaday died, Ellis recalled one of the first ... More A $336 million plan to build housing, retail and an arts hub in NewarkNEW YORK, NY.- For six years, plans to transform land next to the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark existed only in architectural renderings, a tabletop 3D model and tales told in rarefied circles by the centerâs president, John Schreiber. The goal was lofty: NJPAC, a nonprofit, would build retail space and hundreds of market-rate apartments, reinvigorating a dilapidated business district and spinning off enough profit to shore up its bottom line and reinvest in arts programming. The pandemic delayed the dream. Then a hot real estate market and a newly generous state tax incentive program accelerated it. On Wednesday, New Jersey officials will celebrate the groundbreaking of the $336 million project, which, within three years, is expected to alter the skyline of the stateâs largest city and turn a ribbon of land next to a traffic-choked highway into an arts and retail hub. ...
