KATELIJNE DE BACKER APPOINTED NEW DIRECTOR OF PULSE ART FAIR

Join us in welcoming Katelijne De Backer to the PULSE team! After three and a half years at the helm of PULSE, Helen Toomer is resigning to focus on launching an artist residency in upstate New York and developing educational and arts related projects. Toomer will join the PULSE Advisory Committee who, along with the rest of the PULSE team, welcomes Katelijne De Backer as the new Director next month.

"Joining the PULSE team and following in the footsteps of Helen Toomer as Director is a wonderful opportunity to further develop PULSE Miami Beach and the year-round program, PULSE360," says De Backer. "Connecting collectors with galleries at PULSE Miami Beach and engaging them in a larger conversation with a program that extends beyond the busy fair weeks, was a smart and innovative move Helen took. I look forward to using my extensive art fair and gallery experience to continue to improve and develop PULSE, and to working with the extraordinary exhibitors, many of them old friends." Katelijne De Backer was recently the Director of Art New York and Aqua Art Miami. Prior to that she served as Managing Director for top contemporary art gallery Lehmann Maupin, where she oversaw several teams with locations in New York's Chelsea neighborhood and the Lower East Side as well as in Hong Kong. She spent over a decade as the Executive Director of The Armory Show, where she was instrumental in transforming the bohemian-style fair of 75 galleries to a world-renowned exhibition of more than 200 galleries. De Backer and PULSE Contemporary Art Fair are looking forward to continuing the growth of PULSE360 and PULSE Miami Beach in the coming months. Helen Toomer joins fellow Advisory Committee members Todd Hosfelt, Founder of Hosfelt Gallery; Alice Gray Stites, Museum Director and Chief Curator, 21c Museum Hotels; and Tarrah von Lintel, Founder, Von Lintel Gallery.

Hyperallergic: Art Movements

The Rijksmuseum invited its 10-millionth visitor, Stefan Kasper, to sleep beneath Rembrandt’s “The Night Watch” (1642). Kasper, a resident of Haarlem, is the first person to have ever spent a night at the museum.

Derick Ion Almena and Max Harris were charged with 36 counts of involuntary manslaughter over the fire that killed 36 people at the Ghost Ship arts space in Oakland. Prosecutors claimed that Almena and Harris, the warehouse’s property manager and creative director, respectively, “knowingly created a fire trap” by failing to provide adequate safety equipment and exits.

Members of the Dakota Nation suspended plans to ceremonially burn Sam Durant’s 2012 sculpture, “Scaffold,” in order to “slow down and allow more voices” in the debate regarding the work’s dismantling and destruction.

French police shot a man who attacked an officer with a hammer outside Notre-Dame Cathedral. Farid Ikken, a 40-year-old Algerian journalist, reportedly shouted “this is for Syria” during the attack.

British art dealer Timothy Sammons, the former director of Sotheby’s Chinese art department in New York, could be jailed for 25 years for allegedly stealing over $10 million from clients. Sammons is expected to fight a US extradition request approved by a UK judge.

The Canadian government will formally request the repatriation of the remains of Chief Nonosbawsut and his wife, Demasduit, from the National Museum of Scotland.

An investigation concluded that Sarasota city official Mark Lyons intentionally steered a $100,000 public art commission to his son-in-law, Mark Krucke.

Andrea Fraser plans to publish a book detailing the political donations of museum trustees.

Michael Moi filed a lawsuit against his former employer, renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly, and demanded $21 million in compensation as well as status as a joint creator on a number of works.

An exhibition of works from the Hispanic Society of America has attracted over 150,000 visitors to the Museo del Prado since it opened on April 4. The New York museum receives fewer than 25,000 visitors a year, despite owning works by Diego Velázquez, Francisco de Goya, and El Greco. “It’s an extraordinary collection, but the difficulty is that the museum is at 155th and Broadway,” Philippe de Montebello — the former director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the chairman of the society’s board of trustees — told the New York Times. “Manhattanites are extraordinarily provincial, and they need more incentive to come.”

Alex Farquharson is spearheading an initiative to rehang Tate Britain‘s collection and provide more detailed wall texts and labels according to The Telegraph.

Banksy cancelled a promotion to offer free prints to anti-Tory voters following a warning by the UK’s Electoral Commission.

Laurence Weiss, a former Goldman Sachs partner, is leading a resident’s petition to permanently change the name of Trump Palace on the Upper East Side.

The International Anthony Burgess Foundation discovered the writer’s incomplete dictionary of slang. The author is best known for A Clockwork Orange (1962), for which he devised a fictional register named ‘Nadsat.’

Christie’s announced that it will auction off David and Peggy Rockefeller’s collection in the spring of 2018.

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art launched its first-ever Kickstarter. The museum is looking to raise $75,000 to build a replica of the Nuevo Museo de Arte Contemporáneo, Guatemala’s first and only contemporary art museum. The small, egg-shaped structure will tour locations in Guatemala, Mexico, and Southern California.

The NYPD apprehended the muggers of a 21-year-old art student after she provided them with a detailed sketch of one her assailants. Robert Yarbrough, a convicted rapist, and his nephew were both handed prison sentences. “I love being able to tell the story and say, ‘Art helped me put a rapist behind bars,'” Laura Murray told the New York Post.

Former METALLICA Bassist JASON NEWSTED's Paintings To Be Displayed At 'Rawk' Exhibition In New York

RARE BLACK METAL COLLECTIBLES

Former METALLICA bassist Jason Newsted will debut his first major international exhibition of his contemporary art, titled "Rawk", at the third edition of Art New York at Pier 94, opening Wednesday, May 3, and continuing through Sunday, May 7, to kick off New York Art Week. This year, Art New York will display the finest work of the modern, post-war and pop eras, and feature paintings, photography, prints, drawings, design and sculpture from masters, including Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Willem de Kooning and Ed Ruscha. "This will be our most exciting year yet," said Katelijne De Backer, director of Art New York. "In addition to high quality blue chip works, we will be offering some truly unique immersive experiences, which promise to engage seasoned and new collectors alike. Art New York will be the perfect launch to New York Art Week, showcasing the most important works from the masters to the emerging artists ready to take fairgoers by storm." Gary Lichtenstein Editions will show images by famed photographer Bob Gruen and, for the first time, and works by Newsted in the combined exhibition "Rockers Rawk". Gruen's "Rockers" features images of the most legendary musicians, including John Lennon, David Bowie, Debbie Harry and THE ROLLING STONES. Newsted's "Rawk" will be the Grammy Award-winning bassist's artistic debut, featuring paintings and prints. Half of all sales from both artists will be donated to the Perry J. Cohen Foundation, a non-profit devoted to the advancement of the arts, environmental, marine and wildlife education and preservation, teenage entrepreneurship, and boating safety education. On Saturday, May 6, the duo will be on hand for a question and answer session to discuss their careers and latest exhibitions. Hours And Location Fair Hours: Opening VIP Preview: Wednesday, May 3, 2:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. Fair: Wednesday, May 3, 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m; Thursday - Saturday, May 4 - 6, 12:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.; Sunday, May 7, 12:00 p.m. 6:00 p.m. Location: Pier 94 (711 12th Avenue, New York, NY 10019) 55th Street at West Side Highway Tickets: $40 one-day pass $75 multi-day pass $25 students and seniors 62+ $25 Groups of 10 or more Children under 12: Free All tickets are valid for admission to Art New York and Context New York. Jason began painting in 2005, after a series of shoulder injuries and subsequent surgeries left him unable to play his instrument. The work began as a hobby, and it wasn't until a year later that he considered showcasing the results. "I started out figuring out what techniques would allow me to draw and paint while my arm was in a sling, so I threw things at the canvas using a spatula, with one hand," Newsted told SF Weekly in a 2010 interview. "It was purposeful. I wanted each piece to mean something, and I wanted to paint a picture each day, as a reflection of what I was living and breathing at that time. The mentality was the same as my approach to writing music." Newsted had an exhibition in San Francisco in 2010 and some of his paintings now go for tens of thousands of dollars. "Most of my work is abstract, mixed-media," he said in a 2013 interview. "Giant pictures about five by ten feet; plastic and acrylic. I also do some sculpture. I have eight or nine hundred pieces since 2004 and have studios in three different cities across the country. Some of my pieces go for maybe $150 for a little picture and some are $40,000 for a giant one. So there's something for everyone." Newsted says he's very influenced by Basquiat, Jean Dubuffet and Picasso. "Those guys are my BLACK SABBATH, MOTÖRHEAD and RUSH of painting," he said. [Read More ...]
