February: "artnet
Gossip"
Behind the scenes, the 170 members of the gold-label Art
Dealers Association of America bitch and moan about the byzantine
selection process for the much-anticipated Art Show at the
Park Avenue Armory, Feb. 19-24, 2009, which always seems to ensure
prime exhibition space for the major players, leaving many B-level ADAA members
out in the cold.

March: "artnet
Gossip"
If we learned anything from the $480-million
Yves Saint Laurent-Pierre Bergé sale at

May: "artnet
Gossip"
Early in May, supercollector Peter Brant unveiled his new Brant Foundation Art Study Center, housed in a refurbished 19th-century stone barn next to his polo grounds in Greenwich, Conn. -- though it doesn't seem all that geared to "study," as no wall labels or checklist were on hand, nor were visitors allowed to take pictures. |

August: "artnet
Gossip"
It's August, and you can feel with your bare feet the water, the sand or maybe the cool green grass and clover. You're on vacation. It's time, then, to think about September, when the whole art world starts up again and crashes down on your head with a big rattle and bang.

September: "artnet
Gossip"
Listen, this month artnet Auctions has its biggest print sale ever. Both of the top lots in the Prints Masterworks Auction are by Andy Warhol, and both come with a touch of sadness, since their subjects have just passed away. But art lives! |
