Dear Friends and Clients,
Welcome to our April newsletter. With the New York auctions around the corner the art world is watching for signs that the early buds of Spring will indeed bloom.
Collectors at last month's fourth annual Art Dubai were buying work by emerging artists from the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia. With the changing times and re-focused
market, Art Dubai has
evolved into a more regional niche, reflecting a wider trend in the art market. The blue chip Western galleries White
Cube and Gagosian were noticeably absent having pulled out after participating in past years when the Emirates were booming.
Art news in New York: celebrated British sculptor Antony Gormley has an outdoor exhibition, Event Horizon, where 31 six foot iron and fiberglass sculptures, bodycasts of
Gormley, are placed on rooftops, ledges and
at ground level around Madison Square Park.The former Turner-prize winner last shared his sculptures in an urban setting around London's Heyward Gallery in 2006.
In the Blue Tangerine Art studio, artists and curators Trudy Montgomery and Patter Hellstrom are engaging in a 30-day visual conversation to explore the influences and inspirations that underpin the creative process.
With art fair season well underway, next month San Francisco welcomes the return of the San Francisco Fine Art Fair, May 21-23. Meanwhile, collectors, dealers and artists worldwide prepare for Art Basel, Switzerland, June 16-20. I will be attending both events and look forward to scheduling appointments with you in the coming weeks.
Warm wishes,
Trudy Montgomery

At Art Dubai, Glimpses of an Evolving Market
Artinfo by Jyoti Dhar, April 2,
2010
This year's Art Dubai, the fourth edition of the much-watched
Middle Eastern art fair, was notable for the absence of several Western
art galleries - White Cube, Gagosian, and Ben Brown among them - that had reconnoitered the
emerging market in flusher times, only to pull out when the winds
changed. But among the booths of the emirate's art bazaar last month,
the overall impression was one of growth, not diminution. In contrast to
other ambitious fairs that have sought to branch out internationally in
recent years, Art Dubai has followed a different path, maturing into a
more regional niche.

In the Blue Tangerine Art Studio:
The 30-Day Collaboration
Trudy Montgomery & Patter Hellstrom
 
Drawing and influence by Trudy Montgomery Blue Tangerine Art's very own Trudy Montgomery and Patter Hellstrom have embarked on a month-long, daily visual conversation across California, working from their respective studio locations in San Francisco and Los Angeles. This digitally facilitated project is an opportunity for two abstract artists to explore studio practices that underpin their art-making and creative process. This project affords both artists the chance to dissect studio rituals while discussing results, moving both artists into the next level of understanding in their work. The project is nearing completion so watch for more documentation next month.
