Happy first Friday of 2025! I hope the new year is treating you well so far.
Happy first Friday of 2025! I hope the new year is treating you well so far. Today, our contributor Debra Brehmer, who also runs a small gallery in Milwaukee, writes about the painful experience of losing considerable amounts of cash after participating in an art fair in Miami. Her candid account from the fair reflects the current mood in the art market. Give it a read. In the news, we remember the ingenious artist Pippa Garner, who passed away this week at age 82. Garner's latest exhibition is on our list of 10 exhibitions to see this month in Los Angeles. So is a show by Nadya Tolokonnikova of Pussy Riot, who happens to have another exhibition in Austria, reviewed below by Andrea Scrima. And there's more, including Required Reading, A View From the Easel, and our useful Opportunities listings for artists and art workers. We rely on your support to keep Hyperallergic independent and strong. If you haven’t already, please join today as a Member. It’s less than $7 a month if you choose our annual membership.
