Luckily for AM readers, Andenken‘s owner and gallery director, Tom Horne, sent us some exclusive photos of Mr. Fish as he’s working around the clock to get the show up and ready for his Mile High friends. “The Road Less Traveled” opens tonight, March 20th in Denver.

Posted by juggernut3, March 19, 2010

Thursday night, Ryan McGinley opened his latest body or work “Everybody Knows This is Nowhere” at SOHO’s Team Gallery. This homecoming show for the young and talented photographer was jammed packed from the opening moments – it almost seemed that every other attendee in the dense crowd was a friend or acquaintance of the renowned photographer. Ryan was very gracious as he took time to greet every fan that approached him. As we noted in our first preview, this body of work is a departure […]

On Saturday night, March 20th, New Image Art will be hosting a new solo show from well-known graffiti artist Retna. Known for taking fashion advertisements and overlaying them with his special graffiti linework and symbology, this exhibition will bring that process into the gallery setting. As you can see from these images sniped from Modern Multiples (featured), Retna spent some time in the LA printmaking studio with master printer Richard Duardo getting ready for this show.

Mark Whalen opens his latest solo show at Edwina Corlette Gallery on his home soil of Australia on Friday, March 26th (running until April 10th).

The lush and intensely hued paintings are Page’s interpretation of the mysterious Nephilim from the Old Testament. Photos after the jump…

We have already previewed Ryan McGinley’s upcoming show (here) at Team Gallery, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, but since the artist’s homecoming show is so highly anticipated and is opening this Thursday night, we thought you could use a little reminder.
