Early Sales at the Armory Show (ARTnews)

The Observer’s Nate Freeman had this tidbit:

There’s a very loud mobile by Glenn Kaino at the booth of Honor Fraser, the Los Angeles gallery. It’s 100 copper arrows all held in place, suspended in air, leading to a common point. If someone you don’t like stands in front, and you stand in the back, it looks like they’re about to be hit by 100 copper arrows. An unknown collector put it on hold for $130,000, and presumably that collector has enemies.
