Frieze Week New York 2015
Frieze Week New York (May 13 - 17)
This week the global art world descends on New York as the Frieze Art Fair, held on Randall’s Island in a tent under the RFK Triborough Bridge, leads an impressive roster of shows. Frieze is synonymous with the best in contemporary art, offering works from more than 175 international galleries. Among the blue-chip 1stdibs dealers participating in the fair are Sikkema Jenkins & Co., Lehmann Maupin, Salon 94 and Paul Kasmin, which is presenting “a range of brand new sculpture and works across mediums, including photographs by Tina Barney,” according to the gallery's Danielle Mayer.
Beyond Frieze, Art Miami New York and NADA offer a mix of established and emerging artists at more accessible price points. Additionally, Collective, in the western reaches of Soho, presents premier examples of design, with a focus on 20th-century modernism, from Scandinavian craftsmanship to Italian postmodernism, as well as cutting-edge works by contemporary makers.
Whether or not you’re attending this week’s festivities, here you can browse — at a decidedly leisurely pace — our editors’ favorite pieces from 1stdibs dealers exhibiting at these shows.

Le Clown
By (after) Georges Rouault
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Published by Daniel Jacomet, Georges Rouault had a notable fascination with clowns, which is reflected in many of his artworks. Rouault's clowns often symbolize the human condition, exploring themes of suffering, solitude, and existential struggle. The clown's guise as a performer and entertainer contrasts with the underlying melancholy and introspection in Rouault's portrayal, making them a powerful metaphor for the human experience.
The piece titled Le Clown...

"No island in the world elicits a greater sense of golden idleness and a freewheeling love of the pleasures of life than the Italian island of Capri. As far back as 500 BC, the Greeks saw it as a rocky paradise of hedonism and much more recently they were followed by the Marquis de Sade and Oscar Wilde. Even if only half the stories of the debauchery in Capri are true, it has been a good host island to those who believe that life is for living.
There is a unique beauty to the place and a refined simplicity that seduced Hollywood in the 1950s and Jacqueline Kennedy not long after. I sense that Capri does not have to try too hard, because it doesn’t really need to; everything is there and most of it always will be. There is security in the longevity of tenure.
The island’s greatest trick is to offer a sense of belonging to visitors. Our cousins from across the pond, who come every year in their thousands, call it “little America...

Carl Grauer’s 'Blue' plays with the tension between memories, the “return to home”, and the actual experienced past through the renderings of the family unit. Inspired by images on found slides or old family photos, Grauer provokes mixed responses of delight and sadness, reminding us that unlike space, time cannot be returned. Grauer paints 'Blue' in black and white, sepia tones, and blue oil paint on wood to capture the nostalgia of a vintage 1950's photograph. Two young children ride bicycles in a charming landscape while one child holds a big blue ball. The blue ball beautifully contrasts with the sepia toned landscape. The brushstrokes are smooth, with little texture built upon the surface.
About the work:
Recollections, a series that plays with the tension between memories, the “return to home”, and the actual experienced past, is an idea that I explore through the renderings of the family unit. Nostalgia comes from the Greek word nostos, meaning “to return to home” and algos, meaning “pain”. Before the rise of pathological anatomy and bacteriology made it less credible, medically; nostalgia was considered a “disorder of the imagination. Through time, nostalgia’s meaning became a more generalized reaction to the sad fact that, unlike space, time cannot be returned. I initially began with source imagery of found slides and photos of people I find at flea markets, second hand stores or from my own family’s collection. I take the source imagery and change elements to signify specific moments that could be seen as memories that are remembered or forgotten. I aim to represent nostalgic scenes that may relay a tension, sorrow or humor that could be constructed memories or actual experienced events. The exact narrative may be forgotten or unknown, but the complex projection of an idealized story that I find intriguing may serve to reflect a feeling or memory for another person.
