Lee Gainer at VOLTA NY
Well we are back from New York and we are beat! If you call the office today, go easy on Alexa, it was a late night traveling. We still have tons of our own photographs to go through from the fair, which should be posted tomorrow. In the meantime, we have a final round of images submitted by our guest photo blogger, Lee Gainer. Last time she checked in, Gainer had sent images from Armory and Scope. Now she shares her favorite pieces from the VOLTA fair (one of our favorites!). See her pictures after the jump, and be sure to come back tomorrow for our staff favorites from Armory, Volta, and Independent.

Armory and Scope: Joshua Field Checks In
We heard earlier from Lee Grainer at the Armory and Scope. Now it's Joshua Field's turn to share what caught his eye while at the fairs. Joshua is our second guest photo blogger helping us cover the fairs in New York City. We are excited to have another painter share their perspective and favorite pieces while observing the large gathering of contemporary galleries and artists in Big Apple. When I asked Joshua to share his thoughts thus far, he offered the following:

MUST SEE PAINTINGS SHOWS: MARCH
There are dozens of strong painting exhibitions on view in March. In the interest of full disclosure, I not only publish New American Paintings, but I have a gallery in Boston as well. I am very fortunate to have an show of new paintings by Peter Opheim this month. Opheim focused his energies on abstraction for more than two decades, but in 2010 his work took a radical shift. While he begins each work with by creating of a small clay model, his paintings are anything but “still-lifes”; rather, they are extraordinary mediations on the medium of paint and the activity of painting.

“Excavating Abstraction”: Zak Prekop at Harris Lieberman
The intense, ostensibly minimalist yet beguilingly layered and process-composed paintings by young Brooklyn-based Zak Prekop unveil themselves like a Jorge Luis Borges plot device. I spent a leisurely while in front of and angled toward his human-scale canvases filling Harris Lieberman Gallery, playing out different scenarios in my head as to just how he created them. Their plain titles give away few secrets, but their respective compositions and surface effects are irresistible to inquisitive eyes. - Brian Fee, Austin Contributor

Another place and time: Ian Whitmore at G Fine Art
It wasn’t long ago that Ian Whitmore was selling out multiple shows in Washington, D.C. before his paintings were even hung for opening night. It may have been a sign of the times -- those shows at the now-defunct Fusebox gallery in the mid 00s were smack dab in the middle of the so-called great contemporary art bubble.
