NEW INVENTORY: GORNIK, ANDOE, GIPE, IVEY, STEENSMA, HORIUCHI...
So we had a busy weekend here and after two days off I'm ready to hit it again! I'm excited because of the change in inventory. As you can see by the headline, we received a slew of great work recently. The main focus is a great collection of Jay Steensma paintings and drawings, a beautiful monochromatic Paul Horiuchi collage and a 1962 William Ivey painting (seen here). I'm in the midst of researching/pricing them right now and hope to have them up on the gallery site soon.
It seems the art fair participants have all made it back home to Seattle from the Aqua Art Miami show last week/weekend. This past weekend was also the big Art Basel Miami Beach fair along with a few "anti-establishment" types of art fairs - mixed reactions to those. Seems sales were generally good for our Seattle dealers and no one came home in the red.
I'd been jealous all weekend as I thought of the throngs of soaking wet dealers and collectors from Seattle who were immersed in warm, balmy sunshine, powdered sand, fun fair parties and stellar art from around the world. Seems only the latter deserves my envy thus far...it was rainy and cloudy with far from 85 degree temperatures - no tanning was to be had. I'll have to hold the scoring on the party circuit until I catch up with the hipsters James Harris and Scott Lawrimore.Can I give a call out to my chica, P-I art critic Regina Hackett - got some good readin' on THAT blog! She keeps me hip to the art hop, alright!
