Antiques, Good Food, and Great Art

Shopping at the Pier Antique show, grabbing a bite at Sullivan St. bakery, and ending it off at the MOMA - a day well spent...

Happy Halloween

Sean Scherer, owner of one of my favorite shops in upstate NY was showcased in the NY times a few weeks back. His home has that cozy Autumn atmosphere with a dark edge to it. I posted his shop, Kabinett & Kammer a couple weeks ago. Both his store and his abode are little treasures.

Small Brain Big Stomach

The artist, Olaf Breuning's new work is currently at the Metro Pictures Gallery in NYC. I took a spin around the stark space during my lunch hour today which completely lured me in with the graphic contrast of black art and white walls. This exhibit should not be missed!

Over the Rivers and Through the Woods

Beyond the noisy city, through the woods and away from the McMansions sits a collector's paradise. Nestled on the edge of the Catskills in upstate NY is a fine old shop Called Kabinett and Kammer, created by the ever so talented Sean Scherer. My visit was welcomed with creaky floors, early american delights, and curiosities in every corner and cranny.
Kabinett and Kammer is the expression of Sean Scherer’s ethos and vision. A prolific artist, educator and collector, Scherer’s aesthetic extends through all aspects of his life. The store functions as a curated gallery space, the culmination of years of collecting and a passionate pursuit of the extraordinary. I'm sure looking forward to my next winding drive through the woods to my new favorite store.

Weston on the West End

One of my favorite NYC galleries is featuring rare prints of one of my favorite photographers, Edward Weston from September 9 to October 24. Only Edward was able to make produce look sexy! He had an ability to allow viewers of his photographs to see what his eyes saw. People that look at his work can step into his world and see the toil of his genius mind. The beauty in the simplicity of a tree trunk, or a gorgeously proportioned nautilus shell, and the sensuous curves of the human back...all such great work.
