Arthur Dupagne's Black Masy Marble Sculpture at James Infante's Booth
by: Ric
April 07, 2008
ARTHUR DUPAGNE - FEMME LULUA SYLISEE AT JAMES INFANTE'S BOOTH!
We had a really difficult time deciding which of the many great things at the show was our favorite....but here it is! This is a black Masy marble sculpture by Arthur Dupagne (1895 - 1961), Belgian. This sculpture is dated 1932. Measures 81 cm. high.
Details email: james@jamesinfante.com or visit his website at www.jamesinfante.com.
We were impressed by the quality of the show and really loved the display area (nice idea, an ivory rug!). Congratulations Fusco & Four!!!! Look forward to your November art show.

BEST OF SHOW - NY GRAMERCY PARK MODERN - GERHARD SCHLIEPSTEIN CABINET & MIRROR
by: Iza
March 02, 2008
Ric flew up to visit with everyone at the Gramercy Park Modern Show and to take the picture of the thing he liked best at the show. This is his pick (and his photo):
A Red Lacquer Cabinet & Mirror by Gerhard Schliepstein (1886 - 1963), German worked in Vienna, Austria.
The cabinet was in the booth belonging to Andy and Chery Lin, who own MIX GALLERY in Lambertville, NJ. Their website is: www.mixgallery.com
The cabinet and mirror are from their personal collection and the cabinet is similar to one of the same color being exhibited in the Wolfsonian Museum in Miami Beach, Florida.

BEST OF MIAMI MODERNISM 2008 # 1 - MARK MCDONALD
by: Iza
February 03, 2008
There was so much wonderful stuff at the show we really had to walk around and look very carefully. Our first "Best of Miami Modernism 2008" is a set of six glass mosaic panels belonging to Mark McDonald (www.markmcdonald.biz).
These six glass mosaic panels, each panel over 8 ft. tall and 3 ft. wide were the first thing we saw as we walked into the show every day! Actual measurements for the four center panels are 104 1/2" high x 36" wide and the outer panels each 30 1/2 wide and described as:
"Six large translucent mosaic polychrome tessare panels, depicting gigantic water lilies in a lake of green and blue swirls with earthy tones and pinks."
These panels were from the lobby of "The Caribbean" hotel in Miami Beach, designed by L. Murray Dixon in 1941. Don't know who actually created the panels. Congratulations, Mark!
More "picks" tomorrow...keep on looking! Show for this year is now closed, everyone packed out and done and we'll write up all the exciting news about next year's Miami Modernism Show later.

by: Iza
February 03, 2008
Here's our booth at the Miami Modernism show. The Jules Leleu sideboard is against the back wall as well as a very rare Secretary Desk by Donald Deskey, of Radio City Music Hall design fame.
Against the black wall are two French art deco silver leaf side chairs upholstered in mint green Scalamandre silk and a nickeled mirror by L. Charles of the Lyon, France "School". On either side of the mirror, a pair of American nickeled sconces. A Fletcher Aviation desk is in the center of the booth.
Would love to hear your comments on our display!

Art Deco & Modernism
by: Iza
January 28, 2008
We're sort of new to this "blog" thing but we are going to give it a try!
First of all, it's not only our blog, it is also YOUR BLOG!!! We WELCOME comments, ideas, photos, announcements, show reports, questions and even BOOK REVIEWS on Modernism, Art Deco, Fifties or even Sixties and Seventies!
The picture we've posted is of one of our FAVORITE lamps...sold a couple of years ago but to us, it's "modernism"! An American art deco torchiere was designed and constructed by Edward Schnorr in the 1930's.
A FEW RULES for our "blog".
1. Try to keep it relevant to the 20th Century fine and decorative arts movement. "Design" is always good! I'm sure the 18th and 19th century furniture aficcionados have their own forums.
2. Keep it clean..no profanity, slander or dirty pictures.
For our part, we will try to keep you updated to the latest and "best" of Modernism....
- We plan to visit the Modernism/Moderne shows and write reports with pictures and our "pick of the show".
- Articles written by us or others "in the know" regarding Art Deco
- Interesting deco objects we encounter at shows or shops in our travels...with pictures.
We welcome your comments!!!!
