Hue & Cry Curated by Vladimir Restoin Roitfeld

Vladimir Restoin Roitfeld hosts a one night only selling exhibition in collaboration with Sotheby's. Entitled  Hue + Cry, Roitfeld says about the exhibition: "In a networked age of following and sharing — of “pinning,” tweeting,” and “liking” virtual images of fleeting consequence — Hue & Cry strives to lead with the first embodied principles of painting and sculpture. Always physical and tactile, the tools remain simple, the colors a vivid spectrum, and the results infinitely variable as each of the twenty artists gathered here strives to ignite their own interior light." Artist such as Nicolas Pol and abstract sculptor Robert Melee, among others, will be on view. Hue & Cry will be on view October 5, 2012 at Sotheby's S2 Gallery, 1334 York Avenue, New York
