“Chelsea
Galleries Reaction” Field Trip
The Gallery also had other simple items on display. Like the hexagon square item
in the picture. All of the artwork that was on display was done by Richard
Hughes. I was surprised at how much some of these artworks cost. Some of the
items were very pricey. However, even
though the artwork was an intriguing display of cement that was “seemly walking”
it just seems too big and too bulky to have in one’s house. I am not saying
that this type of artwork isn’t creative but it takes up a lot of space and it
would defiantly be a lot of money to store.
I really I loved the gallery of Yossi Milo Gallery. We walked in and I saw for
the first time what we have been learning about in class on the videos we watch,
the “photos in motion.” This gallery was covered in wall to wall artwork of
Charles Freger’s. The press release paper that was given to me helped explained
more about his artwork. According to the press release paper it was said that
Freger was in search of the “Wild Man.” This “Wild Man” was a century year old
legendary figure that goes through a cyclical pattern life. These are some of the cycles of
life that were on display at the gallery. Some of them were called the changing of the seasons, special religious
holidays, rites of passage, and life and death.
The titles were interesting according to the way the artist displayed the mythical creatures.These are images of humans dressed as mythical creatures. I found out that these are traditional costumes
crafted from layers of animal skin from local plants, bones, and antlers. As a collector I find it very important
to know this type of information. It gives more character to the pieces of
artwork. It also gives it a more appeal to a potential buyer.
Also one thing that is good about this artwork is that if I wanted to buy it,
the framed art seems easy enough to store.

Our class went to a
variety of Galleries in Manhattan as part of our 5th field trip and
one of the first galleries we stopped at was the Anton Kern Gallery. When I went
into the gallery I was amazed at what was there and considered art. Clearly I
need to make my decision to “pretend purchase” as an “art collector” I would
not purchase anything in this gallery. The reason why I wouldn’t is because as
you can see in the picture the gallery is made up of huge displays of cement
that look like they are walking.
