Scott Campbell, Noblesse Oblige, 2011, Cut uncut US currency sheets, copper box, 21 x 25 x 18.75 inches
Tattoo artist Scott Campbell has migrated his etchings from skin to galleries – OHWOW inaugurated their new space yesterday in Los Angeles with a show of Campbell’s new work inked on the insides of ostrich eggs and stacks of paper money, using styles of vanitas imagery traditionally associated with the arena of tattooing.
Campbell, who is probably making a mint through his recent collaboration with Louis Vuitton, had enough currency on hand to carve a skull from $11,000 of uncut sheets of US dollar bills. The show, titled Nobelesse Oblige, signifies the artist’s pride in his blue-collar heritage, and plays with the idea of what is precious by removing value from social currency or placing value on the artefacts of common trade (by gold plating copper plates made with his tattoo gun).

Sunday marked the closing of another successful Armory Week in New York. Following the trend of Art Basel in Miami, the aisles were teeming with enthusiasts, artists, collectors, and dealers who seemed not to be aware in the least about our turbulent economic climate. Damien Hirst prints had five and six stickers next to them, denoting sales. It truly was a collector’s fair. (more…)

Nothing could stop Art Basel from having another successful year in Miami. Not a recession, not adverse conditions—though heavy rain and flooding destroyed a few works of art—could keep the droves of people from returning to south Florida and jamming the aisles of all participating spaces and the streets of the Design District.
What felt like most of Miami—and New York, LA, and Europe’s art communities—flocked mostly to the Miami Convention Center in search of fine art and design. The more adventurous patrons made their way across the causeway and back to the mainland.
Comparing SCOPE to Art Basel at the Convention Center is like comparing the Uptown and Downtown scenes in New York; they’re total opposites. For those who have never been, Art Basel is made up of several different parts: Art Basel, SCOPE, Pulse, Art Asia, and the bevy of neighborhood galleries that fling open their doors during the week and curate exhibitions of their own. Truth be told, these are often the most interesting shows to experience, as they have no preconceptions and are akin to Dash’s old shows at Deitch circa 2005: completely uninhibited.
