Dodorye Inspired by some great artist and still hear

When we went around asking some people if they were familiar with an artist by the name of Traver Dodorye some said yes and others were a little on the curious side on who he was. Traver is a staright forward and very unique artist but his stated that his drive comes more from great artists like himself. "To get to where your going you have to know and be honest about where you are" Dodorye quotes in more detailing stating that a lot of people now a days can't accept fear and walk by that. When they go into something with a negative mentality or a fail 1st thought of mind they are already six feet under. It's ok to be confidence there is a difference between that and arrogance. Traver stated that he had no tolerance for excuses and that how he strive for greatness. Some artist that will be listed below have motivated me in numerous ways as he grew older and learned more about them but they all have one thing in common. They all were somehow influenced by the legend himself ...................JEAN MICHEL BASQUIAT. Artist below include , Hebru Brantley, George Condo, Gregory Siff, Alec Monopoly, and of course Jean michel Basquiat!!!

                       

“Art-Flipper” Bert Kreuk Sues Artist Danh Vo for $1.2 Million

Major art collector and polarizing figure Bert Kreuk has sued Danish-Vietnamese artist and Hugo Boss Prize winner Danh Vo for €898,000 (approximately $1.2 million), according to a report in the Netherland’s RTL Nieuws. Kreuk claims that Vo failed to deliver an artwork for an exhibition of Kreuk’s collection, titled Transforming the Known, at the Hague’s Gemeentemuseum (Hague Municipal Museum), which closed in September of last year.

That artwork in question reportedly cost Kreuk $350,000. The substantially higher amount of damages that the collector is seeking in court reportedly stem from damage to his reputation and profit losses resulting from Vo failing to deliver the piece. Vo’s lawyer confirmed the suit to the paper and suggested that the court case could be lengthy.

A representative for Bert Kreuk told RTL Nieuws that the collector would be satisfied if Vo simply produced and delivered the artwork but that the artist appears unwilling to do so.

Though the motivations behind Vo’s refusal to make the work remain unclear, speculation suggests it could well be due to Kreuk’s increasingly-controversial stock in the art world as a serious collector. Fellow collector Alain Servais categorized Kreuk as “an art-flipper more toxic than [Stefan] Simchowitz” in a response to the story on Twitter. 

Kreuk has been open about his views on art as a viable asset class, and has banked on those views, sending many in the art world into a frenzy. Most notably, Kreuk sold 11 works from the Hague exhibition in a Sotheby’s New York auction last fall. In that sale, according to the artnet Price Database, Dahn Vo’s Alphabet (M) (2011) sold for $149,000 including premium on a $60,000–90,000 estimate.

Kreuk subsequently brought 29 further works to Sotheby’s London’s S|2 gallery for a commercial show he curated, Just Now, earlier this year. According to Sotheby’s the exhibition also included one work by Vo, Alphabet (B) (2011). 

Critics categorized both moves shamelessly leveraged the recent institutional provenance of the works for profit. In an interview with Sotheby’s at the time of the London show, Kreuk claimed “Transforming the Known at the Gemeente Museum in the Hague had nothing to do with selling. It was about my personal journey with contemporary art.”

He also told Dutch newspaper Volkskrant that he made the decision to sell some of the works two months after the Hague show closed and that his motivations behind selling them were purely to purchase more expensive works by other artists in his collection. He claims that collection currently consists of around 800 works but that he has purchased and sold around 5,000 pieces over the past 20 years. 

The upcoming collection of Traver Dodorye

An artist that pretty much self taught himself most of his recent learning on art is giving a sneak peek of his upcoming collection. What do you think?

King of art Basquiat

These days, when Basquiat’s work has become such a commodity, it feels good to be able to see a group of drawings, such as the ones the Schorrs gathered, in a setting where the din of the marketplace will be quiet for once. (The marketplace for Basquiat can also be iffy—unfinished works were strewn around his loft, all the more tempting to pick up, especially when he was out of it. A Christie’s online auction of his works owned by a former roommate, who said they were gifts, was recently postponed because of a suit by Basquiat’s sisters, arguing against their authenticity.) In the early days Basquiat’s paintings went for around $15,000–$20,000; the drawings, for something like $600. A comparison shop, now that he’s the James Dean of the art world and the art world is depressingly similar to Wall Street, can’t be exact, because the Schorrs have never sold any of his works from their collection. But last year, a Basquiat painting was knocked down at Christie’s in New York for $48,843,750 (the top price paid for the artist so far), and the Schorrs said they’d been offered more than $2 million for one of his drawings, a number of years ago. They could not afford his works if they were buying today, and even in the old days they had to be careful about what they spent. As Lenore says, “It was not about speculation—it was about love for the work.” And it shows.

  

Inspired by George Condo Dodorye art

Lately I've been on some condo type shit. George Condo is one of my favorite artists also because he just has such a unique style and I can tell he is so original. You have to love what you do to be a full time artist. Studio sessions late night sometimes no sleep. I have to admit my art show is going to leave the city in shock.
