Greetings!

 

Welcome to 2011 - "The Year of Noel Rockmore's Break Out to National Attention!" 

Dan Cameron, curator of the Spring 2011 Ballroom Marfa Show in Texas, has picked the 8 Rockmore's shown to be a part of The World According to New Orleans - Press release, which will open the weekend of March 18-19, 2011 through August 14, 2011 at Ballroom Marfa in Texas. Dan Cameron is a well respected curator in New Orleans (Prospect l & ll) and New York City (New Museum). Marfa, Texas is known in the Art world as a place where great art is recognized outside of the major museums and cities. 

 

In 1971, Donald Judd, the renowned minimalist artist, moved to Marfa from New York City. Judd's vision was to house large collections of individual artists' work on display, as a sort of anti-museum. Since Donald Judd's death in 1994, two foundations have been working to maintain his legacy: the Chinati Foundation and Judd Foundation. Every year The Chinati Foundation holds an Open House event where thousands of artists, collectors, and enthusiasts come from around the world to visit Marfa's art. As a result, new gallery spaces have opened in the downtown area including a multi-functional art space called Ballroom Marfa.

 

For Rockmore, this will be his first time with this type of potential Artworld exposure since he was the young up and coming star, Noel Davis, in New York City. Couple that with the 8 page Rockmore article coming out in a major publication this February & March (details at the end of the month) and you have the start of some major Rockmore momentum (RockMojo). Special thanks to NOMA(Review) and the Ogden Museum(Reviewin New Orleans who both had Rockmore featured in this past year. 

  

Shirley, Tee and Rich hope to trek to Marfa Texas for the March 18-19 Opening for this significant Rockmore and New Orleans milestone. We will keep you posted on our travel arrangements and accommodation plans in case you are interested in attending as well. If not, we will certainly update you via email as we continue to help generate excitement for New Orleans and Noel Rockmore.

 

Rockmore's on eBay - see below - continues to be a popular Saturday & Sunday 10PM ET evening regular event. Interest and followers are growing and records are being set and yet there are many great deals to be found. This weekend has a RARE Preservation Hall piece, Paris, the French Quarter and what looks to be The Tavern on the Green in New York City. Next weekend has Mike Stark, Eureka Brass band, a Johnny White's grid, St. Peter Street, Israel, New York plus The Civil WarVictorian era. Rockmore was everywhere in all time periods!

 

Shirley Marvin is in great health for what will certainly be a very active year. While she is not thrilled with breaking up her Rockmore collection at auction and on eBay, she certainly enjoys the fact that so many people from all walks of life have access to buying Rockmores and are enjoying them. Rockmore indeed is carrying us on his back into this new year, his year, "2011 - The Year of Noel Rockmore's Break Out to National Attention!" 

 

Here's to a great year for everyone,
