Art Basel Miami Beach
James Edward Deeds, Jr. Kabinett Exhibit


For the 2013 Art Kabinett program, Hirschl & Adler Modern will present a highly focused installation of drawings by newly-discovered Outsider artist James Edward Deeds, Jr. (1908-1987), a near life-long ward of the state of Missouri and colorful mental patient at Nevada, Missouri’s State Hospital, No. 3.

Deeds was committed in 1936 to the state hospital, diagnosed with dementia praecox and schizophrenia. His intricate drawings, measuring approximately 9 x 8 inches, were executed in graphite and crayon on the official ledger paper of the institution that housed him for nearly four decades. The artist sewed them into a crudely bound album and clutched it as a kind of talisman as he endured worsening living conditions, extensive shock therapy and drug regimens. By 1966 the artist transferred the album to his family who inadvertently parted with it. In 1970 it was found in a street side junk heap by a fourteen year-old boy who would safeguard it for next 36 years.

Today Edward Deeds’ 140 double-sided drawings represent the most recent entry to the Outsider art canon. They debuted at the 2011 Outsider art fair in New York and received their first formal exhibition at Hirschl & Adler in January 2013. Sixty works then traveled to Lausanne, Switzerland where they were exhibited at the Collection de l’Art Brut in spring of 2013. A selection will also travel to Paris this fall for a show at Galerie Christian Berst.

    Affordable Art Fair
    Second Edition In Seattle


    As a visitor to the second edition of the Affordable Art Fair, I'd call it a success. It looked good and it was filled with wonderful, affordable and interesting works of art for sale. In addition, I saw lots artwork headed out the door, and more than a few happy art dealers. The fair organizers, say they'll be back in Seattle next November. Unfortunately, it's the only art fair for the Northwest art market.

    The first Affordable Art Fair was in London in 1999, with a mission of making the process of buying artwork welcome and engaging. The Seattle fair continued the spirit of Will Ramsey the original founder of AAF. The galleries and art dealers at this fair were very approachable. New to the art scene this year, and a major sponsor is Amazon.com/art. You'll here more about them, as the worlds largest online retailers becomes successful in selling art.

    Seattle was well represented by twelve galleries, including Gallery IMA, Linda Hodges, ArtXchange Gallery, Wallspace, Blindfold and James Harris, plus the galleries pictured above. Next year, hopefully more Seattle galleries will be showing in the fair. Three other Washington state galleries participated. Fifteen galleries came from around the United States and twenty were International; Canada 4, England 5, South Korea 4, Australia 2, and one each from Brazil, Italy, Chile, France, Japan, and Spain.

    Loved the artwork of Tyson Grumm, from Patricia Rovar Gallery. Also, Dante Brebner's miniscule worlds in wooden boxes, at Place Contemporary. And, Erik Hall's paintings at Hall Spassov Gallery, from Bellevue, Washington.
