COMMENT: Why is the address of Long Island City given here, although the property is located in Midtown West, namely 599 11th Avenue, Fl 4? — Julian didn't know nothing about NO!art and what NO!art is. These stupid architects work only for money to force their own visions. They never work for the human beings. They all built only cages. My wish is: Imprison all these architects in their buildings which they designed against humanity.

■ Which expert was responsible for archiving?
■ Who registered all this?
■ Who's been "cleaning" all this up?
■ Who decided what to throw away?
■ Motto: Is this art or can it be removed?
■ Where are the autographs of Boris and others?
■ Where is the guestbook of the March-Galerie?
■ Why were these places not preserved for posterity as monuments?
This is quite possible with 85 million dollars at your disposal!None of Boris's friends or acquaintances were consulted on how to deal with Boris's art legacy. Completely ignorant of NO!art, they used brute force to find a collection to store in their inhumane art bunker. In return, even architects are involved in the rape. In addition, alleged restorers are commissioned to regrind pictures according to their taste. Later X-rays would be interesting.

Review:
The gallery designed by Julian von der Schulenburg to show,
store and manage Gertrude Stein’s collection is a
programmatic hybrid of an art storage
and exhibition space.

Several blocks north from the Chelsea art district, the Warehouse Gallery is located in a giant, city-block sized, 8-story concrete warehouse building from the 20s in Midtown-West. Monitored, protected, air and moisture conditioned, an art management company stores thousands of art works owned by museums, private collectors and auction houses filling up all its floors.
Seen from the street, the building’s treasures remain unnoticeable. There are no signs. On the ground floor, several over-sized elevator garage doors look shabby and careless. Museum directors, curators and private collectors come here to view art by appointment. The Warehouse Gallery for the Boris Lurie Art Foundation is housed on the 5th floor. The client, the art collector Gertrude Stein, asked for a space to show, store, organize and manage its collection: over 3,000 pieces by artist Boris Lurie. The program for the space included storage, restoration, archive, office and a showroom: a programmatic hybrid of an art storage and exhibition space. Boris Lurie (1924 –2008) was an American artist and writer. He co-founded the NO!Art movement which calls for art leading to social action. His controversial work has frequently irritated critics and curators and has sold poorly.
NOTE: Boris Lurie was against the sale of his works. His opinion was: Everything that is sold is lost. One can see here again how Gertrude informs the press.
Lurie immigrated from Eastern Europe to New York in 1946 after having survived the Holocaust. These traumatizing experiences left a lasting impression on Boris Lurie’s life and art work. One of his best-known and most controversial works is Railroad Collage (1959), a collage of two photographs showing a pin-up girl undressing in the midst of corpses of gas chamber victims on a flatcar. Lurie co-founded the NO!Art movement which calls for art leading to social action. It set against Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art, but especially opposed to the economization of art and devoted to political issues such as racism, sexism, and consumerism. Pieces by Lurie are now contained in the permanent collections of the National Gallery of Art (Washington, D.C.), the Museum of Modern Art (New York) and was subject of a ►Retrospectives at the University of Chicago and at the Whitney Museum of American Art (New York) among others. This summer, there was a large retrospective at the Jewish Museum in Berlin entitled “No Compromises! The Art of Boris Lurie”.
NOTE: There has never been a retrospective at the University of Chicago. The exhibition NO!art and the Aestehtics of Doom, 2001 was at Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art Northwestern University | 1967 South Campus Drive | Evanston, IL — Estera Milman
The idea for the architectural design was to create ‘‘a rigid, abstract space that contrasts with the expressive, at times aggressive content of the artworks it houses’’ as stated by the architect. Avoiding the “white-cube” concept of conventional gallery design, abstraction is achieved as a graphic, three-dimensional pattern of monumental, space dividing furniture built-ins in contrasting black and red, colors often used by the artist. The symmetry and rigidity of the plan layout obeys the rhythmic repetition of deep, long-span concrete beams of the existing, column-free space.
The structural module defines the interior organization. The space is divided into three programmatic sections: entry/office, art storage/display and restoration/packing. Floor-to-ceiling, Judd-like “storage towers” are custom-designed to fit the range, size and types of art works: paintings, collages, sculptures and drawings on flat files, vertical shelves, drawers and rolls. Metal mesh storage racks seemingly “float” across the space hiding the attachment rails between the deep concrete beams. The racks are used for larger paintings and art works to be displayed and pre-selected for shows. Parking the sliding racks in different configurations within the space allows for a customized circulation pattern depending on curatorial preference. The alignment and repetition of storage towers, racks and beams reinforce the visual effect of spatial depth and perspective.

BLAF at SRI Fine Art Services in Clifton/New Jersey | insideThe Boris Lurie Art Foundation is pleased to announce that the new residence is now located on a state-of-the-art 4,000 square foot site in Clifton, NJ. Award-winning architect Julian von der Schulenburg has created a versatile space inspired by the industrial envelope of the warehouse like building. Integrated into the design is a gallery space where the foundation can host curators to view the more than 3,000 works in its collection. In addition to the viewing area, sufficient space is provided for an open art warehouse, restoration facilities, an archive room and a research library.
NOTE: BLAF does not manage to give grants to artists, instead they use Boris' millions to support "needy" museums and galleries, and to do so they hide Boris Lurie's legacy on the outskirts of the city in warehouses that no one visits. BLAF is not interested in spreading Boris Lurie's ideas. Instead, BLAF restricts itself to Boris' early works and keeps historians on the Holocaust track. BLAF totally negates Boris' former friends and supporters. BLAF adorns itself with ignorant professors, art historians and journalists. A "wonderful" example for the mendacious manipulations in the art scene.
