Published: December 1, 2008

This month’s Art Basel Miami Beach fair is not the only place you will see David Zwirner near Larry Gagosian, with Jeffrey Deitch, Barbara Gladstone and Jay Jopling just one row down. If you put your mind to it, you can also find these big names, and many others, in Big Dealers, one of the 75 word-search puzzles in Find-a-Text Puzzle Fun: Art World Edition by the New York–based conceptual artist Charles Gute. The entertaining book (available for $4.95 at selected bookshops) was printed in an edition of 3,000 in conjunction with an exhibition of Gute’s word-search paintings (his Meet the Critics, 2008, is shown here), on view through December 12 at New York’s Jason Rulnick gallery. Lindsay Lohan rates an appearance in Celeb Collectors, Art+Auction makes it into Top Mags & Rags, and Strategies and Motifs That Never Get Tired has something for everyone, with “nudity,” “big color photos,” “being attractive” and the immensely profitable “human skull.”

"Puzzling It Out" originally appeared in the December 2008 issue of Art+Auction. For a complete list of articles from this issue available on ARTINFO, see Art+Auction's December 2008 Table of Contents.
