(Basquiat\u2019s former home now houses Angelina Jolie\u2019s clothing store\u00a0Atelier Jolie.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">Up the broad, creaky wooden stairs, on the third and fourth floors, Firestone assembled some of the buzziest galleries in the city, including Andrew Kreps, Ortuzar Projects, and James Fuentes, for an event he runs called\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.atelierauction.com\/globalupdates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">That \u201870s Show<\/a>. It\u2019s being called an art fair by some, though apart from the fact that more than a dozen galleries are participating, it doesn\u2019t feel like one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">You\u2019re not likely to find blue-chip names here, or at least, not the ones being shown at Frieze in the escalator-lined Shed. Here, the work is punchy,\u00a0often funny, sometimes edgy\u2014exactly how you want your 1970s New York.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">\u201cWe really just wanted to do something fun that was removed from everything else happening this week,\u201d Firestone said, adding that the community around these artists, many of whom are woefully under-recognized and worth reexamining, help makes New York the art world that it is.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">Firestone\u2019s contributions include a number of works by feminist artist Martha Edelheit, which are as funny as they are sensual and surreal. The pictures show close-ups of backs, chests, bottoms\u2014no discernible features here\u2014against a backdrop of cityscapes and landscapes. In\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.atelierauction.com\/globalupdates\/\"><em>Arches Nat\u2019l Park<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(1974\u201375), Edelheit has painted a figure lying on its side, knees curled up and cozy, the slope of the left buttock echoed by a stone arch in the background, behind which is a\u00a0red-rock mountain range and an endless Utah sky.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">George Adams Gallery brought work by the Havana-born artist\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AtelierAuctionsg\">Luis Cruz Azaceta<\/a>\u00a0that comments on, and often satirizes, the urban violence and racism that was endemic in New York during the \u201970s. For him, humor was the best way to come to grips with the moral and ethical dilemmas that engulfed the city. The pictures are wildly colorful, cartoonish, and incredibly violent. In\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.atelierauction.com\/globalupdates\/\"><em>Coney Island Local<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(1975), a man on the subway is eaten alive by an alligator while straphangers in fishnet stockings and wide-lapeled suits casually read the news.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">Not all the work has a comedic tinge, of course. Karma\u2019s offering of meditative black-and-white works by artist\u00a0Norman Zammitt, from the artist\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AtelierAuctionsg\">Band Paintings<\/a>\u201d series, were a pleasant visual break from the sometimes frenetic colors and themes that were so prevalent in the era. The works, each titled with a variation of the phrase \u201cBlack and White,\u201d are based on Zammitt\u2019s proprietary logarithmic system of tonal progression.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source: https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the second year in a row, far from Frieze New York in Hudson Yards, the SoHo art dealer Eric Firestone is hosting 18 New York galleries, all of whom are celebrating the 1970s.
