New York PRINT FAIR

-->
Saturday, November 7 (Noon to 8) and Sunday, November 8 (Noon to 6.) 

This year we will celebrate the 80th Anniversary of the signing of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) into law in 1935 as well as the founding of the New York Atelier 17 in 1940. We hope to see you at the Park Avenue Armory between 66th and 67th Streets. Booth 116 -- that's the north-east corner of the room -- go to the far left aisle and walk towards the back, to the Lexington Avenue side of the building.


We were in a bit of a rush setting up, and I still haven't shot the whole booth, but this is a view of the East Wall (Lexington Avenue Side) showing, at the left, the two states and final version of the Howard Daum's Combat, 1947. It is a perfect storm of Guernica tribute, Hans Hofmann inspiration, Indian Space composition, and Atelier 17 technique, combined with Daum's relationship with Stanley William Hayter, Picasso's friend and printer.
