For our friends in New York, by Existencil on Dec 11, 2008 17:25:29 GMT 1, That's a really interesting article. There does seem to be a lot of interesting galleries popping up during this downturn. Not something I would have expected, but good to see.

For our friends in New York, by jamesreeve5 on Dec 11, 2008 20:07:02 GMT 1, I read that the other day and it got me thinking what meteoric rises some galleries have had over the last decade.
My top 3:
1. Blum and Poe - Became one of the biggest galleries in the world thanks to smartly signing on artists like Murakami and Nara
2. Deitch Projects - became the contemporary art's link to the street art world, also has a preeeetty nice non-street art roster, I am also personally indebted to his gallery for 2 or 3 bottles of expensive champagne that I drank in Miami last year.
3. Peres Projects - King of the art world bad boys. This guy bought one of Terrence Koh's first pieces for a couple hundred bucks. Nowadays you can barely buy a pair of underwear that Koh shit in for that price. And while Deitch might have the better known parties in Miami, Peres parties are MUCH better (the gallery is a party machine). I also give Javier Peres credit for being one of the coolest, most down-to-earth guys, the guy goes out of his way to be accommodating to his customers.
Two honorable mentions are Laz and Team Gallery in NY... They didn't make the list mainly because my dealings with them have been less than memorable. Sometimes they were plain rude.
Anyone care to disagree with my choices?
Anyone else have galleries they can include on this list?

I actually prefer LA to NY - just skint at the moment so can't afford to come. But when I can I'll happily get in touch for list of where to go

For our friends in New York, by raiden on Dec 11, 2008 22:42:22 GMT 1, I agree, the LA art scene is better than NY at the moment. (gasp!)
Granted I live here, but I spent a good deal of time in NY this year.
Hands down, NY is better for the high end stuff and the so called establishment galleries. I don't for a second claim we can compete with the art establishment of New York with the Moma, Met, Guggenheim etc. (Though LA's art establishment is routinely under estimated)
The LA gallery scene, however, has a lot going for it over NY, particularly cheaper prices and just a phenomenal collection of small galleries who are bringing quality shows to LA. (Carmichael, Corey Gelford, Thinkspace, Subliminal Projects, etc. etc.)
Meanwhile, I get the perception that NYC has been following our wake so often with shows - i.e. we'll get a big show by an artists, and couple months later, they'll do a more expensive NY show. Kind of like we break em, NY make's em - but for someone who is following art closely, NY becomes a let down that way.
I contend, this is partly the function of rents in NY and the extreme gentrification of Manhattan that has turned the old paradigm of NY's village being an art community on its head and shifted the role of incubator more to LA (and to NY's defense, Brooklyn has taken on the role of incubator as well, but the true gallery scene there still feels a bit in its infancy)
Granted, LA art scene is more fractured and harder to navigate because of the car culture of the city, but its remarkably vibrant. I will also point out LA artists dominated so much of the Art Basel news - Shepard Fairey, Mark Ryden (with his first $1M canvas sale), MBW, and the general chatter I heard about the rise of "pop surrealism" at Art Basel.
I didn't go, and this may have just been both a function of the sources I read and the publicity machines of LA artists, but I have seen a substantial uptick in LA's art scene.
That said, if anyone from the board is visiting LA, I'd be happy to show you around! Artists especially.

I'm quite happy about all of above. I'm a born and bred Londoner, and the first place I ever went in the US was LA. I absolutely loved it. There was something about the City that I got, and just wanted more - I've yet to go back, and cannot wait. I always thought that I'd enjoy NY more, yet everytime I've been to NY, I've never felt that same vibe as I did in LA and have almost felt slightly cheated by NY. Difficult to put my finger on, but I believe there is a different edge / atmosphere about LA that I think is cooler and more with it than NY.
