blog

Hi Everyone. Here's our "How the Heck is it September Already?!" blog which has our usual collection of art and objects we've seen around town and in our web travels that you can purchase for your very own homes. PLUS, don't miss our preview (after the art images) of all the awesome events happening this month in conjunction with Pacific Standard Time.

But first, how great is Deedee Cheriel's street art? We suppose her message runs contrary to the idea of collecting art, but truly, can you ever have enough art or books? Items that feed the soul transcend consumerism. Right?

And now, stuff that makes our Tinlark hearts sing...

***********

PACIFIC STANDARD TIME:
Although a key international art center, Los Angeles, traditionally, has been unable to sustain an international art fair and related cultural events a la Basel or Frieze. That's about to as L.A. becomes a treasure trove of exhibitions and events celebrating Art in Los Angeles from 1945-1980. Organized by the Getty Foundation, Pacific Standard Time will contextualize the artistic innovation and social change in Southern California
from the end of World War II through the decades that followed. PLUS, Downtown L.A. will host two new art fairs starting September 30!

It's a LOT to see. I'll be taking clients to previews and private events, so if you're interested, please contact me.

Here's a guide to some of the shows to see:

Thanks to all of our artists and supporters, too numerous to name. And to my staff, the Katherines, the Laurens, and the Josh. And very special thanks to the diehard folks who made Tinlark a part of their lives: Helen + Scott, Jonathan + Heidi, Kit + Murray, Arden + Dan, Matt + Katie, Dendrie + Adam, Seonna + Matt, Suzie, Moira, Sandra + DeDe, Sasha + Larry, Matthew + Melissa, Kenneth, Flora, Jon + Bonny, Nancy + Jason, Tiffiny + Adam, Rob + Jill, Cassandra + Joel, Eduardo, Sally + Paco, Kirston, Beth + P.K., Danny + Anya, Dave + Dawn, Anissa, Tracy + Michael, Fabienne + Jeremy, Karis + Marnie + Lee, Ashley, Kira + Ian, Deb + Bryan, Marsh, Daily Candy, Dangerbird, and lastly, that guy with the pinstriped suit, soul patch and questionable press credentials who came to every single opening and ate and drank heartily! We'll miss you all!

So that's the end of one Tinlark and the beginning of another. Look for Tinlark's booth at True Pablove  on Feb. 5th, 2011. And it's a bit of a secret, but we may have a HUGE pop-up show planned for 2011 (stay tuned). And, for all you fresh stART fans, we'll be back with the freshest show ever in February, 2012.

(it sure was a lot of laughs!)

Bye for now,

Cris McCall, Tinlark Consulting
