Gagosian Gallery of New York kept their booth to a "Outer Space" theme. They are an extremely high end gallery with multiple locations around the world. A Robert Rauschenburg Contribution Two variations from Andy Warhol. Ed Ruscha's piece was at the entrance of the booth. Chris Burden's scale model of the solar system was displayed, The Sun, Mercury and a few planets were in the exhibition center. Pluto was all the way by Pike Place Market.

I noted an interesting marketing or strategy from a pair of Seattle galleries at the 2018 fair. Both the Traver Gallery and Foster White chose to highlight just one of their artists and not the whole stable.

August has been quite the art viewing month with the Art Fair, First Thursday Artwalk, a trip to Vancouver BC, and a host of other art viewing opportunities. We did some camping over the weekend at Larabee State Park just south of Bellingham and stopped by the Smith and Vallee Gallery on our return trip. A group show titled, The Wild Life is currently showing and includes a variety of mediums. The artists featured are:Becky Fletcher, Dan Friday, Karen Willenbrink-Johnsen, Ka

Michael Brewster was a professor of mine at CGU. In fact he was the chair of my MFA committee. He passed away suddenly a few years ago. CGU is honoring him with a posthumous exhibition in September. I may be there to see it, we'll see how my schedule pans out. Details below.

A bit of good news as I was informed that two pieces from the and/or series recently sold. Touch and Go (Factor) and Here and There (Turmoil) were both sold around the close of the show.

Nina O'neil and Lynn Hanson herself will be showing at Lynn Hanson Gallery this month. First Thursday opening starts at 5. Opening Night, First Thursday Art Walk August 2, 5-8 PM Artist Reception August 25, 3-5
