3 Shows to see before Monday
1. Kate Ericson & Mel Ziegler, Galerie Perrotin
(July 8 - August 22)
Ericson & Ziegler’s art abandoned the few, urban cities in which American art culture tends to be centralized to return to the heartland. The artists created work that aimed to examine and represent the cultural majority of Americans, often ignored by the cosmopolitan art world. It speaks to the national importance of the duo’s work that a French gallery is exhibiting the retrospective (bringing it stateside after a successful show in Paris).

2. Louise Lawler No Drones, Metro Pictures
(June 5 - July 25)
Through her unique artistic process, in which she traces her photographs and then prints these tracings on vinyl, Lawler manages to distill complex images and moments down to their aesthetic essence. She displays an array of scenes in egalitarian simplicity, examining what lays at the center of these moments.

3. Marcel Duchamp, Gagosian Gallery
(June 26 - August 8)
Gagosian exhibits Duchamp’s historic readymades in the same building in which they debuted half a century ago. Thus this is a truly unique show of the work of one the most renown avant-garde artists of all time.

The New York Times tmagazine was kind enough to profile us last Sunday.

Gertrude Stein’s Legacy Lives On in Pop-Up Art Salons”
A couple of our great curators and guests were interviewed and listed in the article, too. Also some of the partners who dared make Salons happen like the newmuseum , phillipsauction and Paul Cooper Gallery.
Thanks to all of you for helping make this Salon movement happen. We’re super excited here at Gertrude about what’s to come.

Dear Friend of Gertrude,
As you know, we’ve spent the past months hosting secret Salons in places ranging from a church in Brooklyn, a penthouse on the UES to Google’s Chelsea office, working with premiere curators to select leading artists and promising new talent.
While private, the art world noticed, and we received thousands of applications to attend.
On October 16, at 11am ET we will introduce the next step as we redefine the art Salon for the 21st Century.
If you haven’t already, make sure to sign up here.
If you came to a Salon we cannot wait to have you back, and if not, let’s meet soon.
Amicalement,
Gertrude & Team
