Oh goodness; the week is almost over! Where does time go? I had a very successful visit to DC last weekend. In addition to trying out three "new to me" restaurants (including the amazing Coco Sala...a must try!) the galleries and museums were incredible! The Morandi exhibition at the Phillips was fabulous. Who knew you could do so much with simple objects! I discovered the Burton Marinkovich gallery...a tiny little place, up a flight of stairs, but with a BIG banner outside luring you in. They feature primarily prints and drawings by modern and contemporary masters. I was able to see prints by Motherwell, Hockney, Kandinsky, Diebenkorn and Calder. It was great fun and the very knowledgeable owner was "tending shop" which made it quite an educational experience. Above is a painting by one of my favorite "modern masters" that we carry in our Gallery, Wayne Trapp. He will be featured in the Gallery 2 weeks, beginning Thursday May 7th, along with Kate Worm. More to come on that exhibition and opening.
Cheers!
