Another Cropsey Discovered in New York

LEON DABO: Toutes Les Fleurs
Released: July 19, 2012Sullivan Goss is pleased to present their second solo exhibition from the estate of the artist, Leon Dabo, NA (1864-1960). Leon Dabo: Toutes Les Fleurs offers the largest selection of mystical floral pastels by the French-born American artist ever assembled — many of which have not been seen for about eighty years. For connoisseurs and curators, these vividly-colored, lost works will likely be a surprise, as Dabo is more often thought of as a Tonalist – an artist whose use of color is marked by restraint. From a later press release from Knoedler Gallery: “…not even his intimat...

This process unites a widely varied body of work - from the energetic brushwork of his early Abstract Expressionist experiments, to the angularity of his wood constructions, to the whimsy of his Bay Area work paintings and sculptures. Born in Russia, Sidney Go...

Major American Sailor's Woolwork to be Exhibited at Antiques at the Armory Show
Released: January 16, 2012Earle Vandekar of Knightsbridge will be exhibiting a massive American sailor's woolwork picture of a frigate this week in New York. American sailors' woolworks are rare, not being generally part of the range of crafts that were created by American sailors. They are more commonly created by British sailors and marines. Thus, American woolworks are few and far between and when found are often of a lesser quality than British woolworks. This wool is a remarkable exception being probably one of the finest sailor's woolworks that has been on the market in a ...
