Christian Marclay: The Clock

Christian Marclay's new 24 hour, groundbreaking video work The Clock is now on view at the Paul Copper Gallery at 534 W. 21st Street until February 19, 2011.  I first caught a glimpse of this work when it debuted at White Cube in London during the Frieze Art Fair in October.  This mesmerizing video is a montage of clips from several thousand films put together to create an artwork that always states the correct time in real time.  There is all month to view this 24 hour work - even an hour at a time dazzles the mind!

Richard Phillips "Most Wanted"

Walking into Richard Phillips' studio last week to view his "Most Wanted" series I was bowled over by the sheer power and allure of each painting. There is no timelier artist than Phillips. The 10 portraits of the hottest young celebrities from Leo DiCaprio to Dakota Fanning opens on January 28th at White Cube Gallery in London.
