Last week, art world illuminati descended on Switzerland for the most serious installment of the Art Basel trade show franchise in the town where it all started. Unlike the debauched winter party that is Art Basel Miami or the new money fishing hole of Art Basel Hong Kong, Art Basel Switzerland is a serious affair where the big boys go to land serious deals (over $2B in art was on display this year) and the hedonism is second to the business of cashing big art checks.

Longtime Supertouch buddy and emerging NY art star Erik Foss celebrated a career milestone on Friday when his first solo show opened at the nascent Paul Loya Gallery in LA (Culver City to be exact).

When Time Magazine made its feature "How China Sees The World" the cover story of this week's issue, it chose controversial Chinese dissident artist Ai WeiWei to create the amazing image accompanying it. Time's Managing Editor Rick Stengel called the image in support of the article exploring the Communist nation's newfound power and influence a work of “artistic supremacy,” Read More
This week sees Austrian artist Willi Dorner's "Bodies In Urban Spaces" conceptual street art project taking to the streets of Porto, Portugal where his army of brightly colored zen contortionists have descended to jam public spaces with their intertwined bodies like some American Apparel ad gone wrong. It's an amazing, long-standing project from the artist that has achieved the impossible in making performance art something that is actually interesting. Read More
The notoriously media shy Japanese Pop god Takashi Murakami speaks with the evolving Creators Project at the site of his recent (and incredible) "Arhat" show with Supertouch buddies Blum & Poe in LA...
The extremely multidimensional California artist (he only lives in NYC) Michael Bevilacqua remains one of our favorite painters here at Supertouch and so with one week left on the books at the esteemed Gering & Lopez gallery we implore those with enough good sense and a pocketful of cabfare to catch his current retrospective show, "Radio Amnesia."
