Deitch Projects was a contemporary art gallery in New York City founded by Jeffrey Deitch. Deitch Projects had a gallery and project space in Soho, as well as an additional 12,000 square feet in Long Island City.〔Geraldine Baum (January 19, 2010), (Jeffrey Deitch on to another art adventure at MOCA ) ''Los Angeles Times''.〕 ==History== From 1988 to 1996, Jeffrey Deitch had been a private dealer and art adviser to a number of collectors.〔Calvin Tomkins (November 12, 2007), (A Fool for Art - Jeffrey Deitch and the exuberance of the art market ) ''The New Yorker''.〕 Since opening with a performance by Vanessa Beecroft in February 1996, Deitch Projects has presented nearly one hundred and eighteen solo exhibitions and projects, ten thematic exhibitions, and a few public events. It is known as a gallery where many of the most well-known artists of the past decade--Cecily Brown, Inka Essenhigh, Barry McGee, Swoon and Kristin Baker to name a few—began their careers. In 2009, artists Justin Lowe and Jonah Freeman transformed the gallery into a Gothic warren of rooms populated with gurgling beakers and melting toilets for a piece called "Black Acid Co-op."〔Candace Jackson (January 12, 2010), (Deitch to Head L.A. Museum of Contemporary Art ) ''Wall Street Journal''.〕 That same year, Deitch Projects and Goldman Properties organized the ambitious public project "The Wynwood Walls", for which 15 artists created 11 permanent murals throughout Miami’s Wynwood district. In addition to its projects with emerging artists, the gallery actively produced exhibitions and books with more established artists who have been part of Jeffrey Deitch’s circle since the mid-1970s and early 1980s. In 2007, the gallery produced a book and exhibition on Jean-Michel Basquiat’s work in the transitional year of 1981, when he went from working on street to working in the studio.〔(About Deitch Projects ) Deitch Projects, New York.〕 The gallery also represented the estate of late artist Keith Haring, with whom Deitch worked closely in the 1980s.〔 In 1997 Sotheby's purchased a 50% interest in Deitch Projects.〔Kate Taylor (April 16, 2007), (Auction Houses Vs. Dealers ) ''New York Sun''.〕 Under the two companies' agreement, besides running his galleries Jeffrey Deitch worked at the auction house managing its 20th-century Art Gallery Program for a few years.〔Carol Vogel (January 10, 2010), (New Chief to Be Named for Los Angeles Museum ) ''New York Times''.〕 Sotheby's later announced that it would close the previously acquired Andre Emmerich Gallery, and that the gallery's artists would be handled out of Deitch Projects.〔Carol Vogel (October 16, 1998), (Emmerich Loses Estate ) ''New York Times''.〕 As a response, the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation, the main beneficiary of the artists' estates, as well as the estates of Morris Louis and Milton Avery announced that they would not renew their Emmerich contracts.〔Carol Vogel (October 3, 1997), (Sotheby's Loses Albers Estate ) ''New York Times''.〕 Sotheby's subsequently sold its share in Deitch Projects back to Jeffrey Deitch. The gallery closed in Summer 2010 as Jeffrey Deitch went on to lead the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Deitch Projects」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
