KAWS Black Four Foot Companion
Just in time for the recession!
With the above image emerging on the Original Fake website, this rumored release is finally official. No word on a release date, but we anticipate the drop relatively soon. Following the brown and gray versions, the Black Four Foot Companion will round out the trilogy of this groundbreaking edition. The previous two sculptures were released in editions of 100 each, so expect similar numbers or perhaps even less. Start saving…

Margaret Kilgallen Theft
We just got word that these two pieces by the late Margaret Kilgallen were stolen from Gallery 16 in San Francisco, on the morning of Oct. 15. The pieces belong to the gallery’s owner, who was a personal friend of Kilgallen’s, and were being exhibited as part of the 15 Years of Gallery 16 anniversary show. Anyone with information should contact vanessa@gallery16.com
Some people are just despicable…

Community Outreach is Back
Many of us have been wondering what happened to Community Outreach, the Canadian gallery responsible for showcasing the talents of some amazing U.S. artists like Barry McGee and Clare Rojas across our northern border. Now, CO’s founder is back with Paul Bright Gallery and an exciting roster of represented artists including Matt Leines, Andrew Jeffrey Wright, Taylor McKimens, and Ben Jones. The official opening takes place Saturday, Nov. 6, with an exhibit by Marc Bell, whose last state-side solo show was over a year ago.
I couldn’t find a suitable image for this post, so here you have an amazing composite Paul sent over a year ago of the walls of the Community Outreach back room - click for the bigger view.
