(New York, May 10, 2013) â The second day of
PULSE New York brought strong interest in large-scale works, in both the main section and the
IMPULSE section of the fair, which remains open through Sunday, May 12 at 7pm.
Eric Firestone Gallery (East Hampton, NY) was overcome with action where multiple photographs by hot School of Visual Arts graduate,
John Messinger, were sold. His large-scale pieces are made of multiple, individualized sheets of instant film, creating a puzzle-like color field. In addition, large-scale photos by artist
Tseng Kwong Chi â a friend and contemporary of
Keith Haring,
Andy Warhol, and
Jean-
Michel Basquiat, who documented his friends in their homes and studios âare in high demand, and have been continuously selling in the $15,000-$20,000 range.
Continuing the trend of large-scale sales,
Susan Eley Fine Art (New York) sold two large paintings by
Allison Green for $7,600 each, and at
Davidson Contemporary (New York), a large-scale cut paper work by
Thomas Witte sold for around $20,000.
Nieves Fernandez (Madrid) also reported strong interest in a set of large drawings by
Chiharu Shiota, and
Galerie Stefan Roepke (Cologne) has had tremendous interest in a huge, 36-panel work by
Aitor Ortiz.
Action in the IMPULSE section of the fair was also brisk today.
Denny Gallery (New York), participating in the galleryâs first fair ever, sold
Dwells Among Us, 2011, a large mixed media work by
Amanda Valdez for $7,000, as well as a number of small drawings by the artist.
Aicon Gallery (New York) also sold a large stainless steel work by
Adeela Suleman, estimated around $10,000.
Fair favorite
Ambreen Buttâs large work constructed of strips of US currency sold to a collector via
Carroll and Sons (Boston).
âWe're thrilled with the response to our booth and sales are strong. This has been a great fair so far,â highlights
