Chicago | Tour & Reception: 'Theodora Allen: Saturnine' at the Driehaus Museum, with Anna Musci & Stephanie Cristello
2022-08-04 17:00 - 19:00 (America/New_York) | Driehaus Museum, 40 East Erie Street, Chicago, Illinois, 60611, United States
Please join us for a tour of Theodora Allen: Saturnine at the Driehaus Museum. Prior to the tour, enjoy a private half-hour reception with Anna Musci, Executive Director of the Driehaus Museum, and Stephanie Cristello, the Exhibition Curator. Stick around afterwards for a Gilded Age cocktail demo and tasting!

The exhibition marks the latest iteration of the Museum’s newest initiative: A Tale of Today. It features work by leading contemporary artists to expand the immersive experience and to shape our understanding of the world through the art, architecture, design, and cultural history of the Nickerson Mansion, the Museum’s home. Curated by Stephanie Cristello, Theodora Allen: Saturnine derives its title from figure of Saturn and its historical association with melancholy, often referred to as the curse of artists. Visitors to the Museum will see Allen’s luminous and meditative compositions. They are filled with a lexicon of snakes, planets, moons, and plant life – motifs that draw from ancient Greek mythology, literature, fin-de-siècle Europe, and the zeitgeist of 1960s California.

Charles Deering died in 1927, but the Estate remained with his heirs until 1986 when it was purchased by the State of Florida, and added to the National Registry of Historic Places. Most of Charles Deering’s original collection was donated to the Art Institute of Chicago and the Libraries at Northwestern by his daughters.

Melissa Diaz is the Head Curator and Museum Manager for the Deering Estate. Melissa is an Art Historian with a focus in Post-war Italian art, and contemporary art theory and practices. At the Deering Estate she oversees the historic house museums, coordinates and curates exhibitions, programing and directs the Estate’s multi-tiered Artist in Residence Program including visual, performing and literary arts.
Prior to the Deering Estate, she held positions in several museums and galleries throughout South Florida including the Institute of Contemporary Art Miami, David Castillo Gallery, and Miami Art Museum (now Pérez Art Museum Miami). She also manages and oversees studio operations for Leonardo Drew.

She received a Master of Arts in Art History from University of South Florida and a Master of Business Administration from the University of Miami. Melissa was first recipient of the Liesbeth Bollen Award from the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, Italy.
Becky Franco was born in Havana, Cuba. She escaped Cuba with her family in 1961. She completed in the United States a BFA with Honors from Pratt Institute, New York in 1974. Becky has always been interested in painting on a large scale influenced by the Photo Realist movement of the seventies. Upon graduating, she sought employment in the difficult and male dominated field of outdoor advertising, where she got the opportunity to create large hand painted billboards and had the distinction to prove herself as a competent female artist. She became the first female billboard artist to be hired in the outdoor industry and join The Sign & Pictorial Display Union, Local #230 in the U.S.
She painted large billboards for fifteen years and when digital computer imaging threatened the outdoor advertising industry making it extinct, she shifted her focus by becoming an independent art professional gaining many private Painting and Mural commissions. Her paintings were featured in many publications including Newspapers and a Rizzoli book called Tromp L’Oeil At Home by Karen Chambers. Becky has always remained interested in the expansion and refinement of her skills. To that end, after many years as an independent art professional, in 2008 she returned to academia to attain an MFA from Queens College, New York. In 2011 Becky was awarded the Artist Residency Express + Local: NYC Aesthetics at The Queens College Art Center, Rosenthal Library, Flushing, New York. Becky’s paintings have been exhibited in a number of group shows, a two woman exhibition, and most recently at The Islip Art Museum exhibition about Caribbean artists called LA PLACITA where the New York Times interviewed her about her work. In 2013 Becky had her second solo exhibition CHOSEN at Soho20Chelsea gallery, New York. Most recently El Museo Del Barrio included two of her paintings in LA BIENAL 2013, Here Is Where We Jump.
In 2014 Becky was a Cintas Fellowship Finalist – Museum of Art + Design in Miami. Becky in 2015 exhibits in the group show, LAST EXIT: PAINTING in The Audrey Love Gallery at The Bakehouse, Miami. In 2020 Franco was awarded an Artist Residency at The Deering Estate. Franco now teaches Oil painting at Miami Dade College and continues pursuing her career as a professional artist.

Virtual | Landmarks: A Discussion on Public Art, with Sarah Oppenheimer & Andrée Bober
2022-09-01 17:00 | The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, 258 Main Street, Ridgefield, Connecticut, 06877, United States
2pm PT / 3pm MT / 4pm CT / 5pm ET

Please join us for a virtual conversation between artist Sarah Oppenheimer and Andrée Bober, founding director and curator of Landmarks, the public art program of The University of Texas at Austin. The discussion will offer an inside look at C-010106, Oppenheimer’s recent commission for the university’s College of Engineering. Oppenheimer and Bober will introduce the work and share insights on developing a major outdoor public art project within a unique and complex architectural setting.

C-010106 consists of two structures positioned at opposite ends of a new pedestrian footbridge on the Texas Engineering campus. Each structure features four panes of glass⎯ two reflective, diagonal sheets sandwiched between two vertical sheets. At the intersection of the four panes, the glass passes through an incision in the bridge’s surface, enabling pedestrians on top of the bridge to see the reflections of those underneath, and vice versa.

Oppenheimer pushes the boundaries between sculpture and architecture, questioning the limits of both mediums. The artist shifts our frame of spatial reference, displacing our experience of inside and out, and inverting our sense of what is near and far. In doing so, Oppenheimer heightens our awareness of the shared environment and creates unexpected opportunities for social exchange.

C-010106 is Oppenheimer’s first entirely outdoor public work and is among the artist’s largest works to date. Sited on the Peyton Yates Family footbridge connecting the Engineering Education and Research Center (EERC) to the new Gary L. Thomas Energy Engineering Building (GLT)—designed through a collaboration of Jacobs and Ennead—the work features architectural materials that have been engineered with unique specificity.

New York | Annual Leadership Series - Latinx and Latin American Identity and Representation in the Visual Arts
2022-09-07 17:30 | Christie’s New York, 20 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, New York, 10020, United States
ArtTable is pleased to present the 2022 Annual Leadership Series, focusing on Latinx & Latin American Identity & Representation in the Visual Arts.

The 2022 Armory Show’s fair-wide focus on Latinx and Latin American Art is the culmination of decades-long efforts of critical forerunners in the field, chief amongst them the incredible visionaries on this panel. Latinx representation in the arts is not simply “having a moment;” Latinx and Latin American artists and arts professionals have and continue to contribute to the development of the culture and history of the United States. Through establishing curators of Latin American/Latinx Art at key cultural institutions and sharing their collections or the curation of exhibitions in these public spaces, passionate innovators, such as Estrellita Brodsky and Patricia Phelps de Cisneros, assisted these visionaries in staying the course to ensure today’s transnational understanding and authentic engagement with the art produced by those who hail from the non-Anglophone nations of the Western hemisphere, as well as those who have joined the U.S. population from these countries. There is added pressure, applied to the United States in particular, to recognize its fellow “America”n countries due to the phenomenon Dr. Mari Carmen Ramirez termed “Latinization,” the influence of those of Latin American descent as the largest ethnic group in the U.S., since historically their contributions have been minimized and excluded in the canon of art history, both in the Americas and internationally.

The speakers on this panel will share their experiences of the past, their plans for the present, and how we can all move forward in the future to continue bringing Latinx/Latin American arts and culture to the forefront of the art world.

The program will be moderated by CJ Greenhill Caldera, Post-War and Contemporary Specialist and Head of Sale, Americas at artnet, with panelists:

Marysol Nieves | VP and Senior Specialist, Latin American Art, Christie’sGabriela Palmieri | Founder and Principal, Palmieri Fine Art, Inc.E. Carmen Ramos | Chief Curator, National Gallery of Art

About the Speakers
(More information to be added)
Marysol Nieves is Vice President and Senior Specialist, Latin American Art at Christie’s, New York where she has worked on several important consignments, including, the sale of the world auction record for the category, Diego Rivera’s The Rivals as well as the 2022 sale of The Embroiderer, a rediscovered masterpiece by Rivera acquired by the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston. She has also been instrumental in bringing such previously under recognized women artists to the auction market as Zilia Sánchez and Olga Albizu. Prior to joining Christie’s in 2011, Marysol was an independent curator and art advisor working with institutional, corporate, and private clients. Additionally, she has held various positions in the museum and for-profit art sectors, including Vice President and Specialist, Latin American Art, Sotheby’s, New York; Senior Curator and Curator of Contemporary Art, Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico, San Juan; Director of Visual Arts, Americas Society, New York; and Senior Curator, The Bronx Museum of the Arts, New York.
Gabriela Palmieri is the Founder and Principal of Palmieri Fine Art, Inc., a bespoke full-service Art firm based in New York City. Prior to establishing PFA, Inc., in 2016, Ms. Palmieri led a distinguished 17-year career at Sotheby’s, where she rose to Chairman of Contemporary Art, Americas, and was recognized as one of the most respected in the auction industry as a leading specialist in Post-War Art.
Ms. Palmieri founded PFA, Inc. in order to unequivocally provide her clients with unbiased, objective and transparent counsel in the increasingly complex and nuanced art market. In her independent role she is committed to providing impartial advice and counsel for established and new collectors aimed at making informed acquisitions, which requires careful analysis and due diligence. As a seasoned researcher and scholar, Gabriela brings to bear all the relevant factors about the artist, the market trajectory for the artist’s work, the particular work taken in the context of the artist’s career, provenance, condition, literature and comparative uniqueness.
In the evolving art market, Ms. Palmieri recognizes that client advocacy is as important as advisory, a role that she spearheaded during her tenure at Sotheby’s where she was the client advocate on every transaction. Among the many highlights during her tenure at Sotheby’s included heading Sotheby’s May 2008 Day Sale to realize $107,800,000, a record total for a Day Sale at any auction house at the time, which followed a $102,800,000 performance from November 2007. As the Head of the Evening Sale, she curated the bespoke Allan Stone Collection, which fetched $55,000,000 in 2011. This role culminated in her stewardship of the prestigious Ahead of the Curve: The Sender Collection sale in May 2014 at Sotheby’s, which sold in excess of $86,000,000.
This unparalleled auction house experience uniquely positions Ms. Palmieri to assess the market and deliver the most comprehensive secondary market expertise both on the buying and selling side of the transaction. Still very much part of the auction world, in her present capacity, she advised every aspect of the prestigious Visionaries: Works from the Collection of Emily and Jerry Spiegel, which sold at Christie’s in May 2017 for $128,000,000. In November 2017, she counseled Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel and Ambassador Carl Spielvogel’s Collection: Magnificent Gestures, which sold at Sotheby’s in November 2017 for $54,700,000, with all proceeds benefitting a Not-For-Profit Charitable Foundation that will supports science and medicine, educational reform and cultural projects.
More recently, Ms. Palmieri advised Image World, a private Collection featuring seminal examples from the Pictures Generation of artists, as well as more contemporary works. Carrying a pre-sale estimate of $36,000,000-52,000,000, the Collection made its debut at auction as the highlight of Christie’s 21st Century Evening Sale in November 2021, with further sales continuing into Spring 2022.
In 2021 Ms. Palmieri also advised on all aspects of bringing the prestigious Brillembourg-Caprilles Collection to market at Sotheby’s. The museum-quality Collection was assembled over forty years of connoisseurship and passion, and it is distinguished for its depth of iconic works by contemporary Latin American masters. With an overall pre-sale estimate of approximately $13,000,000-18,000,000, the Collection first hit the auction block at Sotheby’s Modern Art Marquee Sale in November 2021, followed by subsequent sales into Fall 2022.
In 2018, Ms. Palmieri joined the Board of Trustees of Anderson Ranch Arts Center, based in Aspen/Snowmass, a premier art making destination and catalyst for critical dialogue in the contemporary art world. In 2019, she joined the Board of Directors of El Museo del Barrio, New York’s leading Latin American cultural institution, with an emphasis on works from Puerto Rico and the Puerto Rican community in the city.
Prior to joining Sotheby’s, Ms. Palmieri received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Art History cum laude at Boston College in 1997, and she achieved her Master of Arts and advanced to PhD standing at the University of Chicago.
Ms. Palmieri is a Certified Member, AAA, Appraisers Association of America, and since 2012 she has executed numerous appraisals in compliance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), the only set of appraisal standards promulgated by The Appraisal Foundation and approved by the Internal Revenue Service.
Since 2021, E. Carmen Ramos is chief curatorial and conservation officer at The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. There she leads the curatorial and conservation teams as they serve the nation and beyond through collections development, ground-breaking scholarship and exhibitions, and art conservation. Ramos most recently served as acting chief curator and curator of Latinx art at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, where she built one of the largest collections of Latinx art at a museum of U.S. art. She organized award-winning exhibitions at SAAM including ¡Printing the Revolution!, Our America: The Latino Presence in American Art, and Down These Mean Streets: Community and Place in Urban Photography. Before prior to the Smithsonian, she was a curator at the Newark Museum and worked on early DEAI initiatives at The Brooklyn Museum. She holds a MA and PhD in art history from the University of Chicago.

Virtual | The AT Forum: Women in Leadership
2022-09-20 17:30 | California
2:30pm PT / 3:30pm MT / 4:30pm CT / 5:30pm ET

As a woman in a leadership role, what were the top 3 challenges when you started your career and what are they now? Are the challenges from your early career days resolved? How have they changed?

One of the biggest challenges for women in the workforce is a work-life balance since child care, elder care, and other family responsibilities still weigh more heavily on women. What are 3 things that would help change this burden and enhance this balance?

What are the ways in which women can help other women while also enhancing their own leadership roles? How have you already incorporated these into your practice?

These are the prompt questions that ArtTable provided to several of our current members who currently hold or have held leadership positions within the art world. Presented in partnership with the CAA (College Art Association) 50th Anniversary Celebration of Feminism + Art, ArtTable is pleased to present the first program in the new The AT Forum Series: Women in Leadership, a Pecha Kucha-style program welcoming leading women in the arts to provide their insight and expertise on leadership, equity, and intersectional feminism.

The prompt questions that were provided to the speakers could easily be answered in hours-long conversations or lengthy essays. In this Pecha Kucha-style program, our speakers have been provided with just 3 minutes each to respond to one of the prompt questions. After hearing from some of the speakers, all attendees will go into breakout rooms for a group discussion, after which the others speakers will address a different prompt question.

The AT Forum is a new recurring program series in which ArtTable members are invited to speak to a specific topic in a Pecha Kucha-style format, followed by breakout room discussions for all attendees to get involved. Keep an eye out for the next AT Forum program!

ArtTable is proud to partner with the CAA (College Art Association). If you would like to attend the CAA 50th Anniversary Celebration of Feminism + Art via Livestream on September 23 at 4 p.m. ET, please register here: https://caafeminism50.eventbrite.co.uk.

Atlanta, GA | Atlanta Art Week - Private Collection Tour with Cathy Byrd and Curator's talk with Arnika Dawkins
2022-10-02 12:00 | California
Join ArtTable in Atlanta, GA during the inaugural Atlanta Art Week for a private collection visit with Cathy Byrd and an exhibition visit and tour of Wendi Schneider | States of Grace at Arnika Dawkins Gallery, with gallery founder and owner Arnika Dawkins.

Cathy Byrd invites ArtTable members into her 400 sq ft studio for a conversation about how she creates a sense of place with art, objects, and books collected since the 1970s in the U.S., Europe, South America, Africa, and Asia.

Arnika Dawkins Gallery is pleased to present States of Grace, a solo exhibition featuring a series of stunning photographic gilded pigment prints by Denver-based photographer Wendi Schneider during the inaugural edition of Atlanta Art Week. Drawn to the serenity she finds in elegant organic forms, Schneider creates unique objects of reverence to preserve vanishing beauty in our vulnerable environment. Schneider is a photographic artist who seeks beauty in a world that challenges our sense of inner peace. Her intuitive photographs center around “illuminated images inspired by the grace of organic forms: flora, fauna, and figura.” Each image is unique, differing in color or texture, and, as the effect of gilding inherently varies, resulting in photographic objects that shimmer with luminosity and elegance. Schneider helps us find our way back to beauty one image at a time.

Art censorship, the environment, activism, public and performance art, the global diaspora, and technology are among her research interests. Broadening access to art and culture has been her priority since 2011. In a roving audio podcast that she launched from a park bench in Brooklyn, Byrd demystifies contemporary art through stories appealing to the cognoscenti and the curious. She engages with today’s issues and ideas on a platform that fuses digital media, sound art and social practice.

The first 300 episodes of the podcast feature emerging and established artists, curators, writers, designers and filmmakers, as well as spiritual leaders, scientists, activists, and environmentalists at the center and fringe of creative communities around the world. Byrd considers it a privilege to witness and document the nuanced character of our cultural landscape.
Arnika Dawkins is the owner of her eponymous fine art photography gallery established in Atlanta in 2012. The gallerist shows work by talented emerging and mid-career artists specializing in exhibiting fine art photography by African Americans and images of people from the African Diaspora.

As a fine art photographer and avid collector, herself, she is a valuable resource to collectors and artists alike. She is passionate about the medium, having obtained a Master of Arts in Digital Photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design.

Berkeley, CA | Reading at the (Art)Table: YIELD - The Journal of an Artist, by Anne Truitt
2022-10-16 11:00 | Gilman Grill in Berkeley, 1300 4th street, Berkeley, California, 94710, United States
All ArtTable members are welcome to join us on Sunday, October 16 for our next Reading at the (Art)Table program, where we will be having a lively discussion of Anne Truitt’s book, “Yield — The Journal of an Artist.“.

In the spring of 1974, the artist Anne Truitt (1921–2004) committed herself to keeping a journal for a year. She would continue the practice, sometimes intermittently, over the next six years, writing in spiral-bound notebooks and setting no guidelines other than to “let the artist speak.” These writings were published as Daybook: The Journal of an Artist (1982). Two other journal volumes followed: Turn (1986) and Prospect (1996). This book, the final volume, comprises journals the artist kept from the winter of 2001 to the spring of 2002, two years before her death. In Yield, Truitt’s unflinching honesty is on display as she contemplates her place in the world and comes to terms with the intellectual, practical, emotional, and spiritual issues that an artist faces when reconciling her art with her life, even as that life approaches its end. Truitt illuminates a life and career in which the demands, responsibilities, and rewards of family, friends, motherhood, and grandmotherhood are ultimately accepted, together with those of a working artist.

Virtual | ArtTable Strategic Plan Talkback
2022-10-17 18:00 | California
3pm PST / 4pm MST / 5pm CST / 6pm EST

Please join us for an intimate discussion about ArtTable’s future!

In September 2018, ArtTable’s Board of Directors and Executive Director held a strategic planning workshop to facilitate the strategic planning process resulting in strategic goals outlined for the organization from FY 2020-2022. Within the workshop, we established key goals for the organization, conducted an analysis, and identified our current strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. In 2021, as part of our Inclusivity goals included in the strategic plan, we launched a full diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility action plan. The FY23 Board Members, Executive Director, and staff are committed to updating the full strategic plan for our strategic goals from FY 2022 – 2025. As a valued member of ArtTable, we would like your input! We hope you can be a part of important change for the future of ArtTable. A list of questions and materials will be circulated prior to the discussion, but please see an overview of our strategic plan here on our website. More information about the structure of the talkback will be available soon.

In advance of the Talkback, please submit your questions here to allow for adequate preparation.

You will receive an email confirmation containing the Zoom link.

Miami, FL | Curator's Tour of 'In the Mind's Eye' with Amy Galpin

Join ArtTable in Miami for a tour of In the Mind’s Eye: Landscapes of Cuba with curator Amy Galpin.

While some artists depicted a pastoral, serene Cuba, others acknowledged the history of race and slavery and created works that equate landscape to nationalism.

Join ArtTable in New York City for a tour of Marta Minujín: A Survey at Henrique Faria Fine Art, led by gallery director Eugenia Sucre.

This is the artist’s third solo exhibition at the gallery and one of many held in New York City since the 1960s. This exhibition features a selection of works across various modalities—ranging from painting, sculpture, video, and installation—and holds a privileged position from which to view , or survey, the creative and dynamic movements Minujín has made throughout her six-decade long career. These works represent important themes that Minujín has addressed and the major trends that Minujín has dipped her toes into. Most importantly, these works reveal the personal growth of an artist who is always striving to remain open to new means of expression and experimentation, but above all, to remain true to herself.
