MIAMI BASEL UP-DATE:
SIMON CERIGO reports that the artworld is still buzzing about the MIAMI BASEL
ART FAIR. The 2 most talked about highlights are: first, the DEVENDRA BANHART
performance at an exclusive guest-list-only party thrown by JEFFREY DEITCH.
The overflow crowd that couldn’t crash, apparently hung around and was able to listen
to the concert from the street.
The other big hit was the URS FISCHER piece at Gavin Brown’s enterprise.
A crushed cigarette box attached to a mechanized pole flew around the otherwise empty
booth at just above eye level or along the floor. It made almost every article on the
the fair, including a big article by PETER SCHJELDAHL, in the NEW YORKER and was highlighted
as WALTER ROBINSON’S lead-in image to his Miami Basel report, on artnet.
It sold for $160,000, … and Gavin kept his overhead & shipping costs to what must
be the lowest exhibition expenditure on record!

These are the 2 paintings by MICHAEL WILLIAMS that CANADA sold for him, in their
booth at the first ever MILWAUKEE INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR, which ran from
October 20-21, 2006.
It’s rumored that Michael Williams will be given a one man show at CANADA to start off their FALL 2007 season.
more on the MILWAUKEE ART FAIR
RIGHT NOW:
You can see some of Michael Williams’ small paintings, in a really neat group show,
called ‘Goose Steppin’, along with work by JOE BRADLEY and EUNICE KIM, at atm Gallery.
What’s so interesting about the show is its extreme and airy, but totally abstract nature.
Even the Michael Williams paintings are very abstract.
