King Art Collective @kingartcollective - Tumblr Blog

An incredible studio visit with Virginio Ferrari, internationally acclaimed sculptor, in his Chicago studio. Virginio has over 30 public works in Chicago alone.

“I want to create situations that delight the eye, in the parks, in the streets and in the squares and corners of the city. I want the passerby to be pleasantly surprised to meet up with sculpture, as though it were a natural part of the city landscape. This interaction of sculpture with casual observer can give the modern city a human dimension.” - Virginio Ferrari

King Art Collective will be organizing studio visits to select studios at the Bridgeport Art Center on March 15, 2018!

Photo break via My Modern Met:

London-based artist Rebecca Louise Law is revered for her hanging flower installations, which have appeared everywhere from New York’s Times Square to the Onassis Culture Centre in Athens. In 2014, we admired her exhibit at London’s Garden Museum, where she strung over 4,600 blooms from the ceiling in an exploration of the relationship between flora and fashion. But Law’s latest creation might just be her most jaw-dropping yet—in the atrium of the Bikini Berlin shopping mall, she has created a fantastical canopy of color from over 30,000 suspended blooms.

Last Days: Spencer Finch

When the first section of the High Line opened in June 2009, it was also the debut of High Line Art’s first public art commission by New York-based artist Spencer Finch, presented in partnership with Creative Time.

Inspired by the Hudson River, Spencer Finch’s The River That Flows Both Ways (2009) documents a 700-minute (11 hours, 40 minutes) journey on the river in a single day. The title is a translation of Muhheakantuck, the Native American name for the Hudson, referring to the river’s natural flow in two directions. Like the rail line that existed on the High Line, the Hudson River was, and still is, an active route for the transportation of goods into Manhattan. The river and the High Line have always been linked in their geography, their function, and their imprints on the industrial legacy of the city.

Chris Hondros Fund Online Auction

This year marks five years since the death of photographer Chris Hondros and the fourth year for the fund created in his name, which aims to support like-minded photojournalists. The Chris Hondros Fund’s annual fundraiser auction is now accepting bids on several dozen prints by well known photographers. See the prints, books and other items on auction on Paddle8.

Chris Hondros was a Getty Images staff photographer killed in Misurata, Libya in 2011 while covering the civil war. The Chris Hondros Fund advances the work of photojournalists who espouse his legacy and vision, and sponsors fellowships and programs that bring shared human experiences into the public eye that might otherwise go unnoticed or unreported. The winner of this year’s CHF Award is Bryan Denton, who has also worked extensively in Libya.

Above, three prints being auctioned in this year’s fundraiser:

Havana street scene, by Joe Raedle, 2015

Ten-year-old traffic cop, Benghazi, Libya, by Chris Hondros, 2011

Young gymnast in China, by Tom Stoddart, 1993

Loving the sound of the water and ink hitting the paper. I’m going to cut this piece up into several pieces and add different layers on each one. What I’m doing now is essentially painting a background. (at Crane Arts)
