Wendt Gallery Makes Headlines - Again and Again!May and June were busy months for us at Wendt Gallery. Victor Matthews: Alter Ego Paintings hung on the walls in New York and Laguna Beach and the Gallery popped up in newspapers, magazines and websites. Some of our favorites include: Barbara Pollack reviewed My World, Your World, Our World for the June issue of ARTnews.
Jessica Lott reviewed Victor Matthews: Alter Ego Paintings for Planet Magazine. Russell Simmons said the show was a must see for art lovers. The review for Victor Matthews: Alter Ego Paintings on Culture Catch agreed, saying the exhibition was well worth seeing. IN New York highlighted Victor Matthews in the eclectic collector pages.
The Closing Reception for Victor Matthews: Alter Ego Paintings caught the attention of The Daily News, Gatecrasher and the blog Times Square Gossip which posted: “The closing night party on Tuesday for artist Victor Matthews' Alter Ego show at Jospeh Manqueros' prestigious Wendt Gallery looked more like an opening with champagne flowing copiously and a swarm of society and entertainment figures like socialite art collectors Denise Rich and Joyce Mullins Jackson (who co-hosted along with Andre Harrell, Ann Dexter-Jones, Serge Becker and Andre Balazs) making the scene. Perhaps it was because Matthews is such a favorite of the bold face set with his works hanging on the walls of homes owned by Jay Z, Lyor Cohen, Ron Perelman, Dick Parsons, Ian Schrager, Brian Grazer, Francesco Clemente and Vikram Chatwal and Russell Simmons. Or maybe it was because Simmons, a longtime patron of the gallery and big fan of Matthews, was filming a segment for his new autobiographical reality show. Never mind, the social swans swooned around the room striking a pose
each time the cameras panned the crowd." Stay informed on the latest happenings at Wendt Gallery. Contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and ask to be added to our mailing list. Add new comment

Announcing "My World, Your World, Our World"
Wendt Gallery New York would like to announce the opening of its newest exhbition, "My World, Your World, Our World," this Friday, March 19th. This will be the premiere exhibition of Wendt Gallery's Southeast Asian art program in New York, and serve as a counterpoint to "Visions of Southeast Asia," the exhibition of Traditional Southeast Asian Art going on now at Wendt Gallery Laguna Beach. This major exhibition will focus on Contemporary Indonsian painting and sculpture, and features the artists Jumaldi Alfi, FX Harsono, Agus Suwage, M. Irfan, Agapetus Kristiandana, Ariadhitya Pramuhendra, Dede Eri Supria, Cucu Ruchyat, Yunizar and others. FX Harsono Makes The New York Times!After four decades of providing a critical voice against political and social oppression in Indonesia, FX Harsono is racking up the accolades. We would like to congratulate FX Harsono on the glowing write-up he received in this weekend's New York Times and International Herald Tribune, and on his one-man show, "FX Harsono: Testimonies," at the Singapore Art Museum.
 Some of FX Harsono's seminal works are now on show at the Singapore Art Museum until May 9, showcasing the artists evolution, from his conceptual visions of the 1970s to his groundbreaking social commentaries of the 1990s to his more recent explorations of identity and self. Among the works is “Voice Without Voice/Sign,” a 1993-4 work in which the artist arranged nine silk-screen canvases in a row, each imprinted with a gesturing hand and collectively spelling out "DEMOKRASI," with the final hand being bound by rope to symbolize the political oppression going on in his home country at the time. FX Harsono will follow up his current show at the Singapore Art Museum by participating in "My World, Your World, Our World," a major exhibition of Contemporary Southeast Asian Art that opens at Wendt Gallery New York on Friday, March 19th. He will be joined by Jumaldi Alfi, Agus Suwage, M. Irfan, Agapetus Kristiandana, Ariadhitya Pramuhendra, Dede Eri Supria, Cucu Ruchyat, Gede Mahendra Yasa, Yunizar and others. |
