Here is a detail of a small, new painting that I did for a group show in NYC opening on Jan 9, 2010. Since it's a month off, I don't want to reveal the whole thing yet. The painting is called, "A Curious Shelter".

Picasso Aquatints Found in a Book

Thirteen Picasso aquatints were found in a book of poetry that was once owned by his lover Dora Maar. "The aquatints were found by chance earlier this year when Professor Andrés Soria began leafing through the pages of an illustrated edition of a book of poems by the Spanish poet Luis de Góngora, which was bought by Spain's National Library a decade ago." It looks like Picasso had torn the original illustrations out of the book and replaced them with his own.

The 13 etchings are now on display in Madrid, at an exhibition dedicated to the influence of "The Generation of 1927", which includes the painter Salvador Dalí, the poet Federico García Lorca and the film-maker Luis Buñuel. Read article: by Giles Tremlett, the Guardian

Glimpse of New Mark Ryden Painting

Paul Kasmin Gallery is showing a Mark Ryden painting at Art Basel Miami Beach . His big-eyed girl with snow-white hair is wearing a party frock made of meat this year. She looks to be dressed for a debutante ball in the old south. He is using a subdued color palette which brings to mind old faded prints found in an antique shop.
