Cahoon Museum of American Art

 
Blue Fin XII   oil on linen   24" x 30"   2005

Recently, Blue Fin XII was accessioned into the permanent collection of the Cahoon Museum of American Art in Cotuit, Cape Cod, Massachusetts.  Ken Ratner, a curator and collector of American Art, introduced my work to the museum, for which I am grateful.  I feel it to be an honor to have my painting chosen to be in the permanent collection of a museum  and, thereby, entered into the historical record.

The Cahoon Museum is hosting an exhibition this spring that will include the above painting.  Please visit  http://www.cahoonmuseum.org  and scroll down on the exhibitions page to view my painting there,  together with text describing the exhibit and the dates of same.  

The painting is again of Times Square with its myriad superimposed images reflected on the glass window of the Blue Fin bar; dated, perhaps, by the poster of Cabaret in the upper right corner of the painting.  Does it entice you to go on in and have a drink?

Elinore - this is really very impressive. Thank you for tipping me off to your blog - I'll be checking back regularly for a porthole into Brooklyn and some great art!
