Pottery, the Paranormal and Other Visions

Ceramics Fair and Metro Show Offer Inspirations New York’s art fairs are often filled with work by contemporary artists, but here are two that artists themselves might like to attend. With objects culled from attics, forgotten storerooms and the bottom of the sea, or thrown more recently by potters, the fairs this year also seem marked by the marvelous, fantastical and paranormal. Just inside the entrance to the Metro Show, Ricco/Maresca has a large grid of human handprints collect.. Continues:

Art on the Tracks

The same week I received the latest issue of Model Railroader with the Rod Stewart story, I attended a lecture by John Foster at the Metro Show in New York City (the show is a gathering of national art dealers all exhibiting under one roof—so there’s a booth full of Bill Traylor paintings, there a collection of collectible American flags, and elsewhere everything in between, from Philip Pearlstein nudes to old tin toys). Because I know Foster, I was there in part to offer moral s.. Continues:

At the Metro Show, Antiques and Art, From Palm Prints to Picassos

Animals appeared to outnumber human beings when the doors of the Metro Show opened to the public on Thursday morning.

Finkel & Daughter, and a bevy of beasts marched across the shel.. Continues:
