Dear Friends and Clients,
Greetings from LA! With London's June auctions behind us and summer in full swing, the art world is on
summer hiatus, offering the perfect opportunity to view museum and
gallery
exhibitions (see left).
Over
the last two years, art market confidence has taken a severe knock to say
the least. ArtPrice takes the pulse of the current art market
and, happily, reveals a return of collector confidence as buying
opportunities present themselves.
Even Obama is taking advantage of the cache of contemporary art. The president staged a diplomatic coup when he gifted British Prime Minister, David Cameron, an Ed Rucha lithograph. Cameron reciprocated with a work by British 'street artist' Ben Eine.
At Blue
Tangerine Art, we welcome Colombian-American artist
America Martin to our stable. Her confident line
drawing reduces the human form to a deceptive simplicity, and each
figure is dynamically placed within the rectangle. Read our interview
with America about her paintings.
In more BTA news,
Danish artist Birgitte Lund has completed 10 new small paintings
that we have received from Denmark this month. Please call us at
310-774-1959 to book an appointment to see her work while it is still
available.
Lastly, check out BTA
artist Allison Hunter's
work in The New Yorker blog slide show posted this week (scroll to the second image).
Happy summer!
Warm wishes,
Trudy Montgomery
"Like all artists I want to cheat death a little and contribute something to the next generation."

The story behind Obama's art gift
Contemporary art gifting a new currency for goodwill
Art Beast, July 22, by Claire Howorth
Ed Rucha's Column With Speedlines  | President Obama staged a diplomatic coup when he gave (British Prime Minister) David
Cameron an Ed Ruscha lithograph, worth an estimated $7,000.
Obama gave Cameron Column With Speed Lines, a patriotically
colored lithograph by Nebraska-born painter Ed Ruscha, who is considered
a quintessential Los Angeles artist and is, as the official White House
statement noted, "one of the most influential American artists of the
20th century Pop art movement."
(...)"The exchange indicates a new moment for
contemporary art. It signifies that art is a currency for gratitude and
esteem, and that these works are measurable national treasures." Read the article and coverage in the Daily Telegraph. |
AMCI: taking the pulse of the art market...
Art Market Insight, ArtPrice, July 10, 2010
The health of the art market is substantially correlated to that of the global economy. However, in order to obtain a more accurate picture of the market's mood and to provide a real-time indicator of its trends, ArtPrice launched its art market confidence indicator (AMCI) at the start of 2008.
The index is based on responses by key market players to questions on their buying intentions, their perception of the condition of the art market and their appreciation of the current and future economic situation.

New Blue Tangerine Art Artist:
America Martin
America Martin is a
Colombian-American fine artist based in Los Angeles. A traveler between mediums, America moves seamlessly between painting and sculpture and is relentless in the conquest of new terrain. Her favorite landscape is that of the human
form, her work is distinguished by a command of line and color, making
playful reference to both classic and indigenous art forms.
Read our interview with the artist about her approach to figurative painting.

In From Denmark: Birgitte Lund's New Paintings
Birgitte Lund's abstractions express a
dynamic geometry of color and line. Each painting evolves on the canvas
through a process of layering paper, shellac, chalk, fluid rubber,
glazing of acrylic and oil paint until the composition is complete. Building texture over time and space, the
artist includes various elements such as photographs, sand and ephemera that
the artist has collected from her study travels to India, Andalusia and
SE Asia.
We have just received ten new paintings from the artist's studio. These small paintings look great hung in multiples - perfect for the home or office!
Call us to view these works: 310-774-1959.
