Winter 2016

Winter 52 www.afamag.com | w ww.incollect.com HIGHLIGHTS The American Art Fair marks the beginning of American Paintings Week in New York. Inaugurated in 2008, it’s the only fair that focuses on American nineteenth and twentieth century works, and features hundreds of landscapes, portraits, still lifes, studies, and sculpture exhibited by 17 premier specialists. Among the continuing exhibitors are Avery Galleries, Debra Force Fine Art, Driscoll Babcock Galleries, Godel & Co. Fine Art, Hirschl & Adler Galleries, and Thomas Colville Fine Art. New participants include D. Wigmore Fine Art, and Taylor | Graham. Thomas Colville, one of the fair’s founders, is optimistic about the timing of this year’s event. Following on the heels of the Presidential election, he believes the fair “will help direct attention to the enduring values—as well as the breadth and depth—of American culture.” In celebration of American Paintings Week, two lectures will be presented in the Bohemian National Hall’s ground floor theater: Kathleen A. Foster of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, will preview her forthcoming exhibition there, Inside the American Watercolor Movement, on November 18 at 2 p.m. Art historian Karen Wilkin will discuss Stuart Davis on November 19 at 2 p.m. Free admission.
