you might have caught my big rant on SAT FEB 14th ? so things were heating up mad, and . . YES, I DID FEEL THE HEAT.<\/p>\n in the pop culture that rocks us hard, whether we know it or not, things were hot as hell. BBQ – ? so, who knew Amber was such a creative genius – posting the meme<\/strong> of all mothers, o lordy, while briefly stooping to call O.J. (“the man who got away with murder”), and in a sense he is . . Khloe’s dad !! !!<\/p>\n of course this bloody Valentines Day massacre goes down just as Kanye gets his mement, I mean moment !! in the fashion world sun, and his song with Taylor Swift, and Paul McCartney, at the Grammy’s – was hardcore . . wow. read: AMBER GOES ‘SO PHILLY’, CALLS KIM . . a WHORE !! and, worse !! – DAILY MAIL<\/a><\/p>\n didn’t I tell you that, just last week, at Taylor’s opening: it’s a PHILLY INVASION – !!<\/strong><\/p>\n so much for crispy well-burnt celeb BBQ,<\/p>\n in the art world proper, it was:<\/p>\n BBW – BUYER BE WARNED !!<\/p>\n MICHELE MACCARONE GOING SOUTH, and we don’t mean her upcoming expansion to L.A. – !!!<\/p>\n actually Michele Maccarone is someone I love to hate, so I actually did go off on her on Sat, but then I thought twice about putting out so much negative derision on the Day of Hearts, and retracted.<\/p>\n but funny how the world spins, and things started to line up in such a groovy connect-the-dots fashion, I just have . . to re-visit. <\/p>\n first up, was the crazy cozy pairing, after the fact – of NATE LOWMAN and his ex MARY KATE OLSEN, aka THE OLSEN TWINS in the ‘OFF DUTY’ section of the WSJ – just in time for VALENTINE’S DAY WEEKEND.<\/p>\n and just inside, on PAGE 4 – thanks to the recent contemporary art auctions, a little art world BUYER BE WARNED \/BBW – chart !! and note: there are only 4 <\/strong>artists who made the list, and ONLY ONE is going south, and that be: NATE. “Art world wild child NATE LOWMAN, 37, scored at auction in 2013 with a series of works that look like giant bullet holes on walls. But sellers<\/strong> looking to flip the American artist’s works for a quick buck this week found a soft secondary market <\/strong>. ‘Six Shooter’, a series of “bullet holes” from 2005, attracted low interest at Phillips, and sold below estimate at $170,000. The seller of 2011’s ‘Trash Landing Marilyn #12’, (the painting in the chart) who bought it in 2013, took a 10% loss at Phillips when the work sold just above its low estimate for $650,000.”<\/p>\n boo hoo, BBW !! HOW LOW CAN YOU GO – NATE LOWMAN ?<\/p>\n but<\/strong> what really go me to re-post, connect-the-dots !! when on quite another cyber research project yesterday, I actually<\/strong> stumbled across JERRY SALTZ and his wonderful chronicle of MICHELE MACCARONE and her BROKEN NOSE<\/strong> . . at VENICE !! but BTW BBW, Jerry – don’t lose the day job !!<\/p>\n read: JERRY SALTZ with the tale of Michele Maccarone’s broken nose – artnet<\/a><\/p>\n
\nturns out it was<\/em><\/strong> a really hot weekend, Saturday was Valentine’s Day and yesterday, was FAT TUESDAY aka MARDI GRAS !!<\/p>\n
\nBBW in the art word, ‘n BBQ in the fashion-celeb word !! <\/p>\n
\nAMBER ROSE goes commando ballistic mad, or as she calls it, ‘South Philly’ !! on her ex KANYE WEST via KHLOE KARDASHIAN . . and nails it very nicely in just a few words, and, of course little North sporting a bullet proof vest c\/o KANYE – priceless. I love little North. I hope she gets to watch cartoons, and if they ever put her butt naked on the beach – shilling Guess jeans, ala GIGI HADID, I’ll have a fit. <\/p>\n
\ngritty. and so are his – boosts. and his referencing of VANESSA BEECROFT<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/BOHO-WSJ.jpg\" "\\"BOHO---WSJ\\"")
<\/a>
\nso are MARY KATE & her sis . . justified or what \/ and big time !!
\nBOHO – that was their<\/em> look !! before they clamped down, went THE ROW – in the face of mass criticism.<\/p>\n
\nand, guess whose on it, and . . tanking ?
\nyep, sad to say .. NATE LOWMAN thanks in part to the careful, translate: awful . . curation and representation of, by one MICHELE MACCARONE, his dealer.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/nate-WSJ.jpg\" "\\"nate---WSJ\\"")
<\/a>
\n‘ARTISTS TO WATCH’ – compiled by KELLY CROW, WALL STREET JOURNAL – ‘Sotheby’s Shakes Off Doubts’.<\/p>\n
\nand, yes – that is a god awful ‘MM” painting by the way.<\/p>\n
\nwas that I had pegged Michele Maccarone, and very nicely I thought – as having her “nose-out-of-joint”<\/strong> meaning unbearably snobby, wrong, and just plain . . stuffy.
\nyou know, stuffy . . nose.<\/p>\n
\ntoo funnie !!
\nand, JERRY SALTZ taking pix !! hilarious !!
\nwell you only need to catch the moment if it’s hysterical, by that I mean newsworthy, and so yes he even had a pretty awful photo of Michele and her broken nose, kudos . . JERRY.<\/p>\n
