MAO - Photo Buy of the Month - Kelli Connell
If you're like MAO and got totally slammed shut out of this insane round of NYC art auctions. The prices really went crazy! A relatively new Ryan McGinley photo actually sold for $22,000 at Phillips last week. I kid you not.. it's just amazing what a little MAO post, and a NY Times 2 page feature story will do for an artist's auction prices.
Well. My little MAO collector-ettes.. there's no need to fear.. we've found a deal for you!!
We've blabbed on and on talk about this young talented photographer a few times. The Aperture Foundation published a great book of her photos a few months ago.
And now SF Camera Work, a great art photography organization on the wrong west coast, has a new membership print in a reasonable sized edition..and at the very low price of $350.
Kelli Connell
4th of July
2005; Lambda print, 20 x 26." Edition of 20.
Collector Level Membership: $350
Oh... and if you want to see some of these prints in HUGE size.. Kelli Connell currently has a kick-ass wonderful show titled "Double Life" up at they Yossi Milo gallery.
Here's a review we found by Rafael Risemberg of the Blade, and here's one by Martha Schwendener in the New York Times.
The show is up till June 2nd. Don't miss it!
MAO --
Just saw Kelli's show at Yossi and now I own a print thanks to your fabulous heads-up about SF Camera Work. Thanks for the tip!

DAMN!! MAO!!

Oh, no. I hate that Connell's work, bad prints I thought (good photoshop work tho). McGinley is a media whore, that NY times article makes me sick...(I thought that was a bad article) I rather buy some artists' work that's solid and work for a long term career.

Thanks for the info and site although I have seen better works by Connell. I particularly like the A. Leo Nash works though!!

Sorry. The great thing about a computer notebook is that no matter how much you stuff into it, it doesn't get bigger or heavier. Help me! Need information about: Turbo Tax. I found only this - turbo tax. Most people do not have any side effect from using this drug. Over all patient of medical and synthroid medicine which. Include all. With best wishes :rolleyes:, Camden from Ireland.
