Highlights from the 2013 VOLTA Show
I hope you liked the pics I posted yesterday from the Armory Show. Today I'm sharing photos from The Volta Show. It's hard to choose which images to post, but I chose the following to give you a feel for the fair (in case you couldn't make it) and to feature the stand-out booths and works. The venue was great...A bit cramped at times, especially on the first floor, but the building was beautiful and the location was awesome. Already looking forward to next year! - Andrew Katz, Associate Publisher

Highlights from the 2013 Armory Show
Another year, another Armory Show. Overall a good year for painting! However, the fair was a little weird this time around with a clear shortage of "Blue Chip" galleries (You'll find them at Frieze later in the year), but maybe that's a good thing. More room for everyone else...Below are some highlights (in my humble opinion) from the fair. Tomorrow I'll be posting pictures from VOLTA. Enjoy! - Andrew Katz, Associate Publisher

MUST SEE PAINTING SHOWS: MARCH
More than four-dozen New American Paintings’ alumni are on view throughout the country this month. Two artists who were originally featured in MFA Annual issues from the early 2000s, Iona Rozeal Brown and William Cordova, and who have since garnered a great deal of attention, are on view in New York at Salon 94 and Sikkema Jenkins & Co., respectively. Two of our favorite emerging painters, Jered Sprecher and Eddie Martinez, can also be seen in New York this month.

STROKETRACEBLOW: Mark Making at Steven Zevitas Gallery
StrokeTraceBlow at Steven Zevitas Gallery is a triad of influential, veteran artists; the title describing the physicality of their working processes. The works in the exhibition are small in scale, nothing exceeding twelve inches, demanding a certain amount of intimacy with each piece.

Among the very talented artists included in the show is past featured New American Paintings' artist, Molly Zuckerman-Hartung (NAP #95).

Pattern Recognition: Jered Sprecher at Jeff Bailey Gallery
Compositional kaleidoscopes could be a useful shorthand for describing Jered Sprecher's oeuvre. As demonstrated in the cheekily titled I Always Lie, Sprecher's third solo exhibition at Jeff Bailey Gallery in New York, he is equally gifted in color combinations and media application, in a range of scales and often within the same painting. That's not to say the visual effect is erratic, but who needs stabilizing agents when the abstract noise is this awesome?! — Brian Fee, Austin contributor

Keep on Shining: Suzan Frecon at David Zwirner Gallery
Compositionally simple and deeply emotional. Deliberate execution and intuitive adaptation. For 40 years, Suzan Frecon has married these opposing forces in a transcendent, shimmering abstract style unmistakably her own. Throughout paper, her second solo exhibition at David Zwirner in New York, Frecon delves into the interplay between media and the surfaces receiving it. — Brian Fee, Austin contributor

The Joy of Painting: Giorgio Griffa at Casey Kaplan
Marks to canvas, or even more concretely: gestures to a surface. Rarely is the act of painting — the rote, even mechanical notion of applying media from point A to B — so vividly celebrated as in Fragments 1968 – 2012, Giorgio Griffa's career-spanning survey at Casey Kaplan in West Chelsea. That this four-decade mark-making exploration is Griffa's first stateside solo exhibition since 1973 makes it even more auspicious. — Brian Fee, Austin contributor

Past Featured NAP Artists at VOLTA NY
Next week we're headed back to NYC for VOLTA and The Armory Show. Both fairs are open to the public starting on Thursday, March 7th, and open through Sunday, March 10th. I'm anxious to see how the new venue for VOLTA NY works out, although the raw space looks amazing (pictured below). I'll be taking plenty of photos so check back here on the 11th. I'll do my best to put you in the heart of the action in case you can't make it. - Andrew Katz, Associate Publisher
