YAO Jui Chung, Wonderful: Crossing the Taiwan Strait by a Leaf
Galerie Grand Siecle, ITPark, and Taiwan Contemporary Art Link are pleased to present Wonderful--Yao Jui-Chung Solo Exhibition, from 3 Nov. to 8 Dec., in ITPark.
The latest series of YAO Jui Chung, Wonderful, was created during the artist’s residency in Glenfiddich, Scotland. Embraced by the natural surrounding of the beautiful country, YAO concentrated on the drawing by ball pen and oriental hand-made papers. As one of the most important artists from 80’s in Taiwan, Yao has been creating painting, video, installation, performance to satirize the political and social issue. In Wonderful, Yao borrows the characters of Cynic and Devil. Through the transformation and combination of the natural landscape in Glenfiddich and pictorial landscape in traditional Chinese paintings, we can strongly feel the continuous intentions of the respectable artist.

| Exhibition: Flowers, Sceneries of All Seasons - Tzeng Yong Ning solo exhibition |
TZENG Yong Ning, Flowers Sceneries of all Seasons 22
Aki Gallery and Taiwan Contemporary Art Link are pleased to present Tzeng Yong Ning solo exhibition, Flowers Sceneries of All Seasons, 10 Nov. to 2 Dec. in Aki Gallery.
For Tzeng, making art by ball-pen is similar with the growing process of the plants, the every line depicted by pen and the artist’s approach of art can be reflected the accretions of the plants as well as the circulation of the time. All the sweet warm flowers are the inner scenery of the young energetic artist.

New Shanghai Fair Shows Potential
By Amy Page
ARTINFO.com Published: October 24, 2007
SHANGHAI—“Potential” was the buzzword last week at the inaugural edition of the Shanghai Fine Jewellery and Art Fair, held October 13 to October 21. Though it came just a month after the successful first run of ShContemporary, the whole concept of the art fair is still new to China, and no one knew what to expect, least of all the Chinese.
SFJAF was organized by Maximin Berko, who has lived in Shanghai for six years and whose parents own Berko Fine Painting in Brussels, and Nicolo Mori, an international businessman who has long worked with China. Like ShContemporary, the fair was held in the Shanghai Exhibition Center, a Cold War-style complex built as a Sino-Soviet Friendship Hall in 1955.

Art sales: Asian tigers roar to auction records
Colin Gleadell assesses last week's sales and rounds up the rest of the auction news
The Telegraph 16/10/2007
Fears that the contemporary art market would collapse were allayed last weekend at the main London auctions timed to coincide with the Frieze Art Fair. With more sales today, the auctions are on target to reach an anticipated £180 million.
Scores of record prices tumbled, but the market is changing. Asian art is red-hot, while other sectors are cooling down. Numerous works by the market's most heavily traded Western artists – Damien Hirst, Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat – either struggled to sell or did not sell at all.
These were the signs that pundits predicting a collapse in the wake of the credit crunch were looking for. But the negative results were more directly attributable to over-ambitious estimates set between sellers and salerooms, and to the weakness of the dollar, which has deterred American buyers.
At Sotheby's, only 19 per cent of buyers were Americans. Among the unsold works were a spot painting by Hirst with an absurdly high £1.8 million minimum estimate; a weak Basquiat painting hoping for at least £1 million; and two early paintings by the sought-after young British artist Glenn Brown. At upwards of £250,000, the estimates were just too high for the discriminating collector.

| News: Three Korean galleries set up in New York by Sunhee Choi |
Three Korean galleries set up in New York
Increasingly fashionable artists tempt western collectors
NEW YORK.
Three Korean galleries are opening branches in New York, reflecting the increasing popularity of Korean contemporary art.
Arario Gallery, which is owned by businessman and collector C.I.
Kim, already has spaces in Cheonan and Seoul in Korea, and in Beijing.
It is opening its fourth branch, Arario New York, on 25th Street in Chelsea next month, with an exhibition of work by contemporary Chinese artists such as Wang Guangyi.
Arario will use the gallery, designed by British architect David Adjaye, to show works by Korean, Chinese and Indian artists such as Yang Shaobin, Zeng Hao and sculptor Tallur L.N.
"We hope to give the western public more of a chance to appreciate these works, and to overcome the prejudice sometimes associated with the Asian contemporary art scene [that the work is of an inferior quality]," says Jeeah Choi, the director of Arario Seoul.
Gana Art Gallery is also planning to open its first US space, in Chelsea.It recently signed a ten-year lease for 9,800 sq.ft on 11th Avenue, between West 24th and 25th Streets.
The gallery became the first Korean dealership with a branch overseas when it opened a space in Paris in 1995.It aims to stage its first exhibition in New York next March.

| Article: India’s Art, Booming and Shaking By STEVEN HENRY MADOFF |
I am posting the article, India’s Art, Booming and Shaking By STEVEN HENRY MADOFF, NY Times. According to the report from Express India, the Indian Art Week in New York last week dominated by three auctions with total sales hovering around US $20 million. This article introduce how the market structure have been changed after India arts are now popular internationally.
Christie's Images Ltd. “Three Painters” (1996) by Atul Dodiya.
India’s Art, Booming and Shaking By STEVEN HENRY MADOFF
NY Times
FOR an uninitiated Westerner, making your way to one of this city’s new art galleries can be a disorienting study in contrasts. In the crowded streets behind the Taj Mahal Hotel Palace and Tower, where the air is heavy with the smell of gasoline and flowers, you are approached by women begging for money and food. Men shout invitations to enter their carpet shops or purchase wares like watches, magazines, leather jackets and cigarettes. Then, from a narrow thoroughfare, you enter a courtyard where an old man sits wearing a black security uniform. He speaks no English but, when asked for directions, points toward a flight of wood stairs so worn they are bowed in the middle. At the top, a door is opened by a barefoot woman in a scarlet sari. Behind her is an art gallery as white and sleek as any space in Chelsea. These contradictions do not arise from any calculated exoticism. This is simply the new India.
“It isn’t as if we are not aware of what is happening in New York or Berlin or in China,” the dealer Usha Mirchandani said in an interview at the gallery. “It is just that we find ourselves in a new position, and we must find our own way. “We are an old civilization. We have untold treasures. But what has happened here in the last year and a half has changed things, with the economy booming and so much art being sold and the prices just going off the graph.”
The Indian art world has more than changed. It has exploded. Prices have increased tenfold since 2002. In the last two years alone, they have nearly doubled. Works by India’s top-selling contemporary artists — Atul Dodiya and Subodh Gupta are the names most often cited — can fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars. The auction price of paintings by the older generation of great Indian modernists, like M. F. Husain or F. N. Souza, can easily pass a million dollars — hardly uncommon for leading Western artists but staggering in a country where the average income among the 1.1 billion residents is about $820 a year.
