Kenneth O'Neil
The Fall, 2000My goal is to paint images that can exist in two worlds, the ancient and the modern. What leads me to this path is my fascination for the art of those who have gone before me, including those who used cave walls for their canvas; a woven textile filled with symbology; petroglyphs and pictographs; finely textured and structured stone walls and statues. Maybe theirs was an adventure into an unknown world also. Did they take risks? One thing they seemed to have in common was the simple expression of a complex thought. I feel a kinship with them.

David Salle
David Salle reflects the ongoing modern preoccupation with the problem of reconciling one's individuality with the constant input of images and ideas from the outside, media-dominated world. His images come from a variety of sources including magazines, stock photographs, and pornography. Salle puts these images together in a painting the way another artist might create a collage using scraps of paper. His mediums are acryllic and oils.

Jenny Saville
Jenny Saville was born in Cambridge, England in 1970. In 1990, midway through her BA course at the Glasgow School of Art, Jenny Saville exhibited in Contemporary '90 at the Royal College of Art. In 1992 she completed her degree as well as showing in Edinburgh and in Critics Choice at the Cooling Gallery, London. Following the success of her show at the Saatchi Gallery in 1994, which generated a great deal of publicity for her work (the images were ubiquitous that year), Saville went on to take part in the exhibition American Passion, which toured from the McLellan Gallery, Glasgow, to the Royal College of Art and the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven, Connecticut.

Interesting News blurb: ART MARKET REMBRANDT'S SAINT JAMES THE APOSTLE SELLS FOR $25.8 MILLION AT SOTHEBY'S
Staff Report
NEW YORK, 25 JANUARY 2007—A rare late work by Rembrandt van Rijn was the highlight of the sale of Old Master Paintings at Sotheby's in New York today. Saint James the Greater, signed and dated 1661, was from a group of single figure, half-length "portraits" of religious figures executed by the artist in the late 1650s and early 1660s. It had an estimate of $18/25 million. The painting sold at auction for $25.8 million. The work, which depicts the disciple in profile, turned slightly to the right, was formerly in the renowned collection of benefactor Stephen Carlton Clark, grandson of the founder of the Singer Sewing Machine Company and brother of Sterling Clark, founder of The Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts.
The painting was purchased by an anonymous telephone bidder, Sotheby's said. The price includes the buyer's premium. The Shippy Foundation, a not-for-profit foundation had tried to sell the painting last year at the Dutch art-fair TEFAF Maastricht for around $50 million. Represented by the New York gallery Salander-O'Reilly, the Rembrandt portrait failed to sell.
