In spite of the calendar insisting that it is spring, the weather continues to exhibit winter tendencies covering our earliest bulbs with a skiff of snow every couple of days. Skiing on our beloved Baldy is finished for the season, but high country trails are still snowbound for the intrepid. For those of us anxious to move on, cycling on lower roads and paths is possible if riders layer enough clothing to protect from the cold wind. The gallery’s sculpture garden is finally visible again even though there is still snow in some places out there. Come by for an early season peek before a few of our favorites happily move on to new homes. In other springtime news, we’re happy to report the following good notes from some of our artists.
Boaz Vaadia was featured in Art & Antiques magazine’s April issue. Look for him and his work in an in-depth article entitled Force of Nature by Dana Micucci. In June, you can find him in Sculpture magazine. We’re very proud of this hard-working sculptor and enormously pleased to represent him.
Painter Catherine Courtenaye contributed her ethereal paintings to The Bark magazine in April. Look for her works in the article Literary Dogs by D.L. Pughe, and also find her on the magazine’s Contributors’ Page with her Whippet, Tinto.
We’re thrilled to announce that Miya Ando Stanoff’s entrancing and soulful works on steel will come to the gallery in July. As will Miya! Be sure to come in and meet her. She is also concurrently showing at the Byzantine Museum in Thessoloniki, Greece. Her works are part of their Places and Manners of Worship exhibition, which runs through September.

Gallery News - A New Year!
Hello, everyone. This is Muffet Jones, Anne Reed Gallery's new director. I joined the staff last summer and shortly thereafter Barbi asked me to take on the position of Gallery Director which I was delighted to do. We have had an amazing few months - record snowfalls in the West have made it a banner year for guests to our area - and our blog has fallen behind in all the (very nice) furor. But now we're on the cusp of Spring and have a little time to catch our breath. This means that I will try to shoulder some of Barbi's burden on the ARG blog as well as in the gallery.
Helping me with this and other tasks will be the newest members of our team, Deb Gelet and Mary Corrock. Deb comes to us with invaluable experience both in gallery management and in public relations. She has been a successful freelance writer and magazine editor, and continues to write for many of the best Western art and design publications. Look for her cover article on the famous Sturdivant Garden of the Sun Valley area in the Spring edition of Western Art and Architecture. Mary began her arts career in 1979 working for the King County Arts Commission in Seattle which initiated the first "Percent for Art" program in the country. In Ketchum she has worked for the Sun Valley Center for the Arts and has brought her awesome organizational skills to bear on events like the Sun Valley Wine Auction and other important community happenings. With Jennie Buehler doing a fantastic job as registrar and Jorge Otzoy continuing as our wonderful art handler and facility manager, our team is ready to make 2008 the best yet for Anne Reed Gallery, our artists, clients and community!
Check back with us often - there will be fresh news on the art front from our outpost here in the mountains and from all over the world!

Engaging Dystopia on Plum TV
Anne Reed Gallery's current exhibition, Engaging Dystopia, is a thought-provoking and visually exciting exhibition of artists responding to imminent ecological disaster. Joshua Jensen-Nagle creates poignant photographs of the animals with whom we share our world; Mathias Kessler brings stunning photographs of the shrinking ice flows of Greenland, and Mary Mattingly shares her vision of humans in a starkly beautiful new future. Plum TV covered the exhibition for its Earth Bytes segment. The entire story can be seen at: http://sunvalley.plumtv.com/stories/earth_bytes_engaging_distopia

Dan Rizzie on Plum TV
Dan Rizzie's work is a study in opposites: complicated yet very accessible, bright colors but lots of black, nature with a decidedly sophisticated turn. Get insight into the artist's process in this short interview done at his studio in the Hamptons for Plum TV. As an added bonus, you get to see his lovely dog.
