...is an entire pier off 52nd St. in Manhattan packed with art that, by and large, does not suck, all under ten thousand bucks. (Affordable is a relative term, obviously.) There's a woman who's doing old style Japanese woodcuts in homage to Hokusai. There's Steve Curry, who did the striking picture of the Afghan girl for Life. There are funny little hanging things and enamelled bottle caps and animal trophy heads made out of plush fabric, and polished wood burls from Tennessee. A few things I wouldn't mind having though nothing I absolutely had to have. And considering how modern art has largely banished beauty, that's a big plus.
Next year, Lisa should be a panelist there!
