Collectors Chime In On Deitch
by Robyn Perry
AFTER The New York Times confirmed rumors in January that Manhattan gallerist Jeffrey Deitch had been appointed the new Director of LA MOCA, you'd have thought New York's star quarterback had been poached. Perhaps what New Yorkers are mourning is not just the loss of Deitch himself, who has agreed to shutter his New York gallery as part of the deal, or even his legendary parties, but the loss of New York as a "street studio" of art-making for art's sake. (Or the last vestiges of a Soho that is anything other than an upscale shopping mall.)

Field Report: Bakersfield
by John Tottenham
The City of Bakersfield may stand tall in the fields of oil, the annals of country music and as the location of the largest number of Basque restaurants in the country, but its contribution to the world of art appears to be negligible. It bears a similar relation to the popular imagination of Los Angeles as Poughkeepsie does to Manhattan: that of a sleepy blue-collar backwater, often mocked by its larger and more sophisticated neighbor.
