“Gambling in Art, A Story of Six New York Artists Who’ve Gone All In”which follows the group of art colleagues including Gregory de la Haba, BTA, [dNASAb], Michael Anderson, Erik Pye, and Lee Wells, as they pursue their art in today’s New York art scene. A trailer for the upcoming film will be revealed to the public for the first time at Scope Miami 2010.
“These artists are, in one sense, gamblers of sorts who wager, bluff and fold their way through the treacherous New York art world filled with dealer hucksters, curatorial con men, and art critic carpetbaggers of all stripes. Dedicated to their work to the very end, the stakes for these artists are very high as they ante up their all for nothing less than total success.
