Exclusive: Alec Baldwin is to explore the fall of the one of the oldest, and most revered, galleries in New York City in a new true-crime podcast series.
Baldwin will narrate Art Fraud, an eight-part series from his El Dorado Pictures and Cavalry Audio in partnership with iHeartRadio, that tells the story of The Knoedler.
It marks the first major project for the actor since the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was killed in October in on-set shooting of a prop gun being held by Baldwin, the film’s star and producer.
Art Fraud is written by Michael Shnayerson and based on his Vanity Fair article that chronicles the fall The Knoedler Gallery. In operation since 1846 and home to some of the city’s greatest artists, the gallery’s fortune changed the moment an unassuming woman walked through the door with a canvas under her arm allegedly painted...

On October 26, the 21st annual Two x Two for AIDS and Art benefit dinner and contemporary art auction raised $8 million with funds benefiting amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research, and the Dallas Museum of Art.
Five hundred people attended the sold-out black-tie event co-hosted by Cindy and Howard Rachofsky at their home, The Rachofsky House, along with Lisa and John Runyon.
“Embarking into our third decade of Two x Two, it is clear that the enthusiasm continues to swell around supporting these two organizations. Having started Two x Two week with the devastating impact from tornados in our neighborhood, it was unanimous among all leadership at Two x Two, the Dallas Museum of Art, and amfAR that a portion of the proceeds this year be given to support the relief efforts in our immediate community. After all, Two x Two was created to save lives and brighten them up with the beauty of art.

It's a case of too bad, so sad for Alec Baldwin ... according to the art gallery owner he's suing for selling him a "fake" painting. Mary Boone responded to Baldwin's suit, saying the actor waited more than 6 years to file the suit over "Sea and Mirror" -- the Ross Bleckner painting Boone's gallery sold him for $190k. In docs, Boone's legal team says the statute of limitations has run out, so Baldwin's got no beef ... legally speaking.

Keltie Ferris Mitchell-Innes & Nash, NYC Through October 17, 2015
A screenwriter bursts into his agent's office. "I have a great idea for a new picture," he enthuses. "We do a remake of The Wiz. Only with white people!" Clichéd Hollywood joke, sure, yet pretty much on point with regard to current trends in art and music. The mash-up, dub, remix, redux, or whatever you want to call it, has replaced the "appropriation" strategies of the 80s. It has morphed into something called Zombie Formalism that for better, or worse, is now seen as a legitimate art movement.
Mitchell-Innes & Nash is showing the paintings and works on paper of Keltie Ferris. These very large, high-keyed, color-filled canvases are warmly inviting on first viewing. Bright reds and blues dominate. The arching motif is brushy passages of paint, checkerboard squares, and general noodling around with the brush over airbrushed planes of color. The press release notes,...

Six days, two dinners, and one Kim Kardashian West. Seen is practically Kim’s Bff at this point. We met the reality star and mother of Nori (Kourtney was babysitting that night) once again at the AIDS Community Research Initiative of America (Acria) gala last night, which is, as executive director Benjamin Bashein describes, “a charity with strong holds in the art, fashion, media, and design fields.” Acria, besides fearlessly pioneering HIV/AIDS research, is also well known for its art auctions, in part because many of its board members and friends are highly celebrated artists such as Ross Bleckner, Jack Pierson, Ryan McGinley, and Rob Pruitt (who were all there).The dinner now includes some 450 guests (up from the intimate 200) and kicked off with your typical holiday glitz and glamour at Skylight West (last night was first time in ten years the event was not held at Donna Karan...

Terry Winters: Cricket Music, Tessellation Figures, & Notebook Matthew Marks Gallery Through April 24, 2012
Abstraction, particularly in painting, is difficult to write about. You are often stuck with banalities like "that white area should be a little bit more to the left," or "that blue reminds me of this one day when I was surfing Zuma." Andy Warhol, whenever he wanted to avoid a subject of discussion -- such as death -- would fob off the topic by saying, "Gee, that's so...abstract." The bane of writing about art, this abstraction is.
Terry Winters, one of the few artists in the New Abstraction movement in the Eighties (along with Ross Bleckner, certain Gerhard Richters, Christopher Wool) made it somewhat easier; he dealt in abstraction of things: plants, pigment structures seen under a microscope, flora and fauna -- something we could get a handle on. In the last decade he has broadened his range,...

As has been noted many times before, by me and others, the Wavelengths series of the Toronto International Film Festival is like a festival unto itself. So far removed from the red carpet nonsense, the deal-making, and the me-firstism of web journalists hoping to hit the Web with their initial impressions of some new Bryce Dallas Howard vehicle, Wavelengths affords breathing room to cinema and video at its most formally adventurous and, yes, uncommercial. We come here to look and listen, not to look “at” or listen “to,” and if that sounds hopelessly pretentious, come on down to the Jackman Hall and see for yourself. It’s actually quite cleansing, often funny, and a guaranteed good time, at least in part. (Short films are like the weather in my hometown of Houston, Texas. Don’t like it? Wait a moment. It’ll change.)
Sadly, Wavelengths 2011 will be the final year for series curator Andréa Picard.

Miral, an adaptation of Rula Jebreal's coming of age story of an orphaned Palestinian girl growing up in the wake of the Arab-Israeli War, has become a hot button film for director Julian Schnabel. When the painter/filmmaker showed the film to the MPAA, he got an R for upsetting images (he was able to have the rating overturned to PG-13). Before showing it at the United Nations this week, he had to first respond to a public letter of protest from the American Jewish Committee. Here, Schnabel discusses his personal awakening to Israel's controversial settlement policy, one he feels has turned Palestinians into second class citizens in the name of security. Deadline: Were any members of the American Jewish Committee at the screening? Schnabel: I asked from the stage and no one responded. I invited them and thought it would be good for them to see it. It was such a beautiful evening,...

Game On. Will Ferrell. Who and what were up and down on last weekend's social circuit and why. → Society Movie Screenings: Hamptons regulars got a rare look at the gritty side of life on Friday when they headed to Goose Creek mansion for a screening of the wrenching Cannes-winning drama Precious. Afterward, director Lee Daniels and cast member Xosha Roquemore mingled with Kanye West and Amber Rose, Bob Balaban, Peggy Siegal, Tory Burch, Sally Quinn, and Ross Bleckner. ↓ Awkward Adult Entertainment: If incest and obesity weren't shocking enough (see above), Patrick and Dana Hammond Stubgen really stirred things up when they brought in rapper Mickey Avalon to energize their annual end-of-summer bash in Southampton. What ever happened to civilized parties? Let's hope Brooke Shields, George Soros, Jay McInerney, Anne Hearst, and Kathy Hilton could handle the music.
