I am a pooter slog, blogging.

> VAA ARTISTS

I was proud to learn (from ART IN AMERICA Sept 2006) that former VAA artists Flo Oy Wong (at Flomenhaft Gallery) and Louisa McElwain (at Armory Art Center, Florida) are still in the hunt.

> STEVEN KENNY

Looks like some decent art of his at Trinity Gallery in Atlanta.

> $135,000,000 PAID

For one work of art... one, by Gustav Klimt; an artist derided until recently by Modernist formalists.

Let me put this another way.

One hundred and thirty five MILLION dollars.

Oh, BTW... Neue Gallerie would charge non-members, an additional $50 per person to see that painting (and 4 other Klimts).

NYMOMA is now charging $20 to get in their door.
