Richard Johnson with Paula Froelich, Bill Hoffmann, and Corynne Steindler
WHILE a Rothko just went for $72 million at Sotheby's, and a Basquiat for $14.6 million, up-and-coming artist Alex Gardega is selling some of his works for $10. "Here is a chance for you to own art by a famous artist that you could never normally afford," Gardega says on his new Web site, tendollarart.com. "I am clearing out my studio as both a practical and spiritual exercise." Among the sketches is a portrait of artist Julian Schabel that Gardega drew one day at the Spotted Pig, and a nude of a famous, yet faceless, actress he politely declines to name.
