My studio show on May 1st was more than I had ever hoped for. Over 200 people: art dealers, architects, designers, film & tv industry, fellow artists, art collectors and of course, friends. More than two weeks have passed and I'm just now getting a better picture of the day as a whole in focus.
There's so many people to thank.....and surely I will forget someone....but here goes....
The portrait (above) which was used on the invitation was taken in February in my studio by my dear friend and wildly hot photographer Richard Gerst from New York.
Another amazing photographer, Jay Jorgenson, captured the day like no else has ever been able to.
Derek Mattuecci brilliantly helped curate the show and manage the acquisitions of paintings.
Minnie, Colleen & Shanee kept the food & drink flowing all day. They did an amazing trying to keep up with the crowd.
Thank you to everyone who came. I know you all have very busy lives and many other places you could have gone to enjoy your Sunday. Your presence is never assumed and always deeply appreciated.
Most of all my partner in life, Steve Ziel. He's the brains behind making the day come together....come to think of it he's the brawn too. There's no bounds to his dedication and support for me and my art. I can't imagine hosting such an ambitious event without him.
Okay, now I'm done with the thank yous....
My next studio show....if there is another one, will probably take on a different form. I'm not sure what yet but I want to shake things up a bit. I've been doing these shows in this format for many years and it seems to be 'tried and true' but I want to shift the tone by rethinking virtually every aspect. It will probably become a smaller event, and will fall off the radar of social networking sites and even this blog...hmmm...gotta think about this....
