Welcome to the Fifth Annual Houston Fine Art Fair!

HFAF 2015 is a globally reaching fair for a cosmopolitan city. The fair

presents a range of high caliber art from both modern and contemporary

masters to some of today’s rising stars. We also introduce a touch of the

Texas School genre for those homes with traditional southern interior

design. There are valuable treasures for every budget level. Ranging from

paintings, works on paper and prints to photography and sculpture, you

can discover the perfect “find” for your home or office.

I want to congratulate our very deserving 2015 honorees. Michelle Barnes is being recognized

with the 2015 Illumination Award of Achievement in Arts Education. The curator, arts

consultant and omnipresent Clint Willour receives the 2015 Lifetime Achievement Award. The

always art curious and ever searching for the right piece, (or next piece) Lester Marks, receives

the 2015 Arts Patron of the Year.

Witness our dazzling installations throughout the fair, presented by Art League Houston,

Katy Contemporary Art Museum, and FotoFest International. Discover the late pioneering

surrealist and abstractionist Dorothy Hood, presented by the Art Museum of South Texas’

sneak preview, plus a documentary viewing on Saturday. Get inspired by sitting in on one or more

insightful panel discussions.

HFAF salutes the city’s remarkable 50 year climb to national art prominence by creating year

two of the Houston Artists Hall of Fame @ HFAF. Under the astute curation of Patricia Covo

Johnson, Houston’s prolific art citric, another 12 local artists and sculptors are being inducted.

Peruse their powerful works. Our thought-provoking display, Paper Today, pushes the edge with

sculpture and drawing with paper as a medium. More details on the following pages.

Thank you to our local cultural and civic organizations for partnering with HFAF, and our

preeminent Host and Steering Committee for their support. I want to recognize arts patron and

gallerist Deborah Colton for her dedicated countless hours devoted to promoting HFAF.

HFAF’s goal is to introduce thousands of fairgoers to the thrill and psychic satisfaction of

beginning and growing art collections. So go ahead-indulge yourself. On behalf of our sponsors,

partners, the entire hardworking team, we hope you enjoy the Fair experience at NRG Center.

Sincerely,

Rick Friedman

On view during fair hours Curated by Patricia Johnson

A museum-level tribute exhibition will showcase works by the second round of inductees of the Houston Artists Hall of Fame, some of Houston’s most prominent artists working from 1970-2000.

List of 2015 inductees:

Painters: David Aylsworth, Aaron Parazette, Gael Stack, Mark Flood, Richard Stout, Dick Wray, 1933-2011, Joseph Glasco, 1925-1996, Bill Steffy

Sculptors: Dan Havel & Dean Ruck, Havel/Ruck Projects, collaborative initiated in 1994, Troy Woods, Ed Wilson

About Houston Artists Hall of Fame

For nearly 50 years, Houston has been fertile ground for the creation and patronage of art. During this era, Houston has evolved into an internationally recognized arts destination. Today, the city boasts 100 world-class museums and over 60 thriving art galleries. With its fifth edition, the Houston Fine Art Fair will recognize the talented artists who have helped to pioneer, develop and establish the city as a significant arts community.

Works are for display only and are on loan from the artists, galleries and private collections.

Curator’s Statement

In 2015, the second iteration of the Houston Artists Hall of Fame features eleven artists, Houstonian by choice or birthplace, and active since the 1980s. The focus on painting offers a counterpoint to the works on paper spotlighted in last year’s exhibition, and to the early 20th century (mistaken) declaration that painting was dead.

The seven painters highlighted have been integral to Houston’s abiding affair with the application of pigment to a surface, a tradition as ancient as mankind and of multiple guises. Though essentially abstract, their work doesn’t fall into easy characterizations but rather is as individual as the artists themselves. Four artists represent the older generation: Joseph Glasco, Gael Stack, Richard Stout, and Dick Wray; Mark Flood, David Aylsworth and Aaron Parazette are the younger counterparts.

Work by four sculptors – Troy Woods, Ed Wilson, the collaborative of Dan Havel and Dean Ruck, and Bill Steffy – adds visual and spatial dimensions.

Joseph Glasco would at times cut up his canvases and reconfigure the painterly pieces as fresh, syncopated structures. With vivid color and aggressive brushwork, Dick Wray celebrated as he annihilated painting’s essential flatness. Richard Stout bases his paintings on landscapes and interior spaces abstracted on the canvas into planes of liquid tonalities. David Aylsworth, on the other hand, applies multiple layers of paint in a way that challenges the viewer to (visually) pierce the soft-looking surface and discern colors and shapes hovering beneath. Gael Stack creates an open and boundless space where architecture and figures reminiscent of Chinese painting appear to float untethered in a cobalt plane. Aaron Parazette is meticulous in preparing and rendering hard-edge geometries that belie the sensuality of his medium. Mark Flood uses paint as a transformative medium to make solids seem liquid shapes.

Like their counterparts in the field of painting, the sculptors, too, reveal different approaches and attest to the many ways an idea is made manifest in space. Troy Woods handles exotic woods with the care of a surgeon to create elusive, allusive shapes of enormous tactility. Ed Wilson handles steel as if it were soft like clay or fabric, implicit with narrative. Dan Havel/Dean Ruck reclaim debris from destroyed buildings to reanimate as large-scale and independent objects with inherent history. Bill Steffy applied the rigor of his background in architecture the design and meticulous execution in silver of elegant forms abstracted from the natural world.

About the Curator

Nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in criticism in 1991 and 1994, Ms. Johnson co-wrote (with Walter Hopps) Contemporary Art in Texas, which was published in 1995. She also wrote a biography of her late husband, Lucas Johnson, published by the Houston Artists Fund, which includes essays by Walter Hopps and Edmund Pillsbury.

Artist Mat Kubo, presents No Talking, Just Typing–art performance. Fairgoers can sit across from the artist and exchange type written conversation. This often allows participants to open up and share private details of their lives they wouldn’t in a causal conversation.

Sneak Peak Dorothy Hood Retrospective Presented by the Art Museum of South Texas, (Corpus Christi) Sponsored by PaperCity

Houstonians at HFAF will be given a “sneak peak” of the Dorothy Hood (1918-2000) Retrospective exhibition, DOROTHY HOOD (1918-2000): The Color of Being/El Color del Ser. The exhibition will open at AMST in Corpus Christi in September 2016 and is slated to tour museums across the country beginning early in 2017. The retrospective exhibition will feature many works from the AMST holdings as well as pieces from over 30 museums and private collections from around the country. It will be complimented by a monograph covering Hood’s career and will establish Dorothy Hood as a major 20th century American artist.

Katy Contemporary Art Museum presents

Pieces of Texas is a new greater Houston area community art project using repurposing and revitalizing as the subject. It was started by the Katy Contemporary Art Museum (Kcam) to help energize the many greater Houston suburb artists and give them a role in the big city›s art fair.

Visual artists find, work and finalize a small piece of wood, plastic or metal. These pieces are then taken by architecture students and used to make a final “something.” No artist will be turned down.This “something” will be exhibited at this year›s HFAF. After the fair, this “something” will find a permanent home at the Kcam–Katy Contemporary Art Museum.

Big Hook, Small Tank, from artist Filipe Lopez

Combining the fishing tradition of the artist’s Cuban heritage and merging it with psychology including the idea of people as lures, Lopez shows the skilled balance and beautiful construction of oversized hooks and lures submerged in his Hook series. The oversized hook in this piece symbolizes man’s desire to always have a large and substantial catch in life regardless of where the hook is placed. The wooden hook symbolizes the historical aspect of fishing hooks and lures that were handmade as an art form.

We feature “KEANE” works from the 60s to present day, created by Margaret Keane. They are also known as “Big Eyes” and “Waifs.” We have Originals and Reproductions of her paintings. Tim Burton, directed the movie about this unique woman titled “Big Eyes” staring Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz. Margaret Keane had to paint in Federal Court to prove that she and not her former husband, Walter, actually did the paintings that became world famous. If you saw the movie, all the images you see are reproductions, and for good reasons. But here you have a chance to see the real thing, and hopefully take one or more home. She still paints at 88 yrs. of age. You will likely be very surprised at the range of her talent.

If art had a Hall of Fame, it would be what you see for sale at Muzeion. From ancient Egyptian sarcophagi to a stingray leather necklace that belonged to the Matisse collection, Muzeion is a wonderland of one-of-a-kind art. With sculptures in bronze that seem to still be liquid and a granite sculpture called “Fire,” Muzeion literally brings the best of both ancient and contemporary worlds when it comes to art. Royal jewels, the emperor’s clothes (yes, they are visible), and gold figures from a time before Columbus sailed the ocean blue are comfortably hosted in a space that transcends time. Art outlives us. But we can foster it for a while on its journey.

Geometric abstraction and Kinetic art Art Dealers since 2009. Having an extensive background as Art Dealers for more than five years and having lived in Venezuela, USA, Mexico, Argentina, Germany and Singapore we decided to venture into opening our first art gallery in the Wynwood Arts District of Miami in 2014. Our passion focuses on Geometric abstraction and Kinetic art, a movement that emerged after World War I and flourished following World War II achieving a critical mass of artists in the 1960’s who focused on creating an alternative, viewer-center experience. This movement did not only developed in Europe but also exploded in Latin America with contributors such as Carlos Cruz-Diez, Julio Le Parc, Mateo Manaure, Luis Guevara Moreno, Alejandro Otero and Jesus Soto among others. RANIVILU art gallery features the work of the above-mentioned masters as well as that of emerging artists such as Pablo Griss, Corina Hernandez, Gabriela Elena Garcia and Alberto Jose Sanchez.

We are art historians identifying highly accomplished late-career artists (and those who have died) who, for various reasons, have not expanded or sustained the exposure they deserve. Our mission is to prevent important artists from slipping through the cracks of art history. The twelve members of our distinguished Art Advisory Board identify and nominate candidates, each of which is then reviewed and voted upon by the board. Elected artists are presented through exhibitions on our website, through art fairs, at our gallery, and through sharing with other galleries around the country. Our collections are illuminating, providing a significant value proposition for collectors. They also provide compelling new choices for museum curators, gallerists, and historians who seek to invigorate their exhibitions. Here are discoveries that matter.
