R E C E N T A CQ U I S I T I O N S 2020 In the past year we have purchased 195 works of art and 65 since the first of October making our obsession much more an addiction of passion! We own everything we sell and purchase something almost every day. The process of our buying habits consists of numerous points but first and foremost is quality.

Our purchases fall into categories of specific artists, dates and a variety of Post War movements that interest us. As you are viewing this catalogue you will see such examples by artists such as Arshile Gorky, Hans Hofmann, Jean Dubuffet, Alexander Calder, Robert Motherwell, Michael Goldberg, Jack Tworkov, Ernest Briggs, Theodoros Stamos, Friedel Dzubas, Byron Browne, Suzy Frelinghuysen and Emily Mason.

The addictive aspect to our purchasing is in the CHASE and DETECTION for uncovering works that have been hidden away forever and when we purchase from an auction we trust ourselves with our research, knowledge and taste by presenting a work that is sophisticated, alluring and will continue to reveal itself over time.

Once again, we are presenting you a glimpse of what we are stiving to accomplish by revealing our outlook and passion through a road more and more less travelled in today’s art scene.
