In today’s Weekend section<\/a> of the Washington Post<\/a> there is an article titled Artomatic ’09: Survival Tips From an Expert<\/a><\/i>*<\/b>. In the article staff writer Michael O’Sullivan follows around Phillip Barlow, one of the DC area’s biggest art collectors, and asks him questions about how to go about exploring the 9 floors of art at Artomatic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Near the end of the article<\/a> Michael O’Sullivan writes:<\/p>\n

\nOkay, spill it: So who does the collector like?<\/i><\/strong> Barlow wouldn’t give a Top 10 list or even a favorite floor. But he did express interest in — or lingered longingly in front of — the work of several artists. Here’s a partial list of his favorites:<\/p>\n

Floor 9: Jessica Van Brakle.<\/p>\n

Floor 8: Jared Davis, Nikolas R. Schiller.<\/i><\/p>\n

Floor 7: Jeremy Arn.<\/p>\n

Floor 6: Jen Dixon.<\/p>\n

Floor 5: Mark Jude, Meinir Wyn Jones, Stephen Reveley, Michael Enn Sirvet, Steve Strawn.<\/p>\n

Floor 2: Drew Graham, Kate McGovern.<\/p>\n

Still, Barlow cautions against using his taste alone as a guide, adding that the secret to Artomatic’s success is volume, volume, volume. “There’s just so much stuff here that I can practically guarantee that something’s going to be new or interesting,” he says. “To someone.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Read the entire article here<\/a>. I plan on stopping by Artomatic this evening around 7pm. Maybe I will see you there?<\/p>\n
