So,it was time today to set-up for the annual"Grammercy Park Modernism Show"now,not at The Grammercy Park Armory, andnot even called that anymore.It is now "The Modern Show"and is located at7 West 34th Street,directly across the street from The Empire State Building.The show is a shadow of its former self, I am sad to say.....Anyway,I wanted to document all the dealers setting up,but man was it boring,so all you are going to get are some silly shots of meand a couple ofsweet pieces of merchwe bought....Mewith a jellyfish on my head.Actually, this is is a Barovier "A Grosse Costolature"from the 1940s.This was my very favorite piece of the show,a Guido Gambone vase, circa 1950s.They don't get much better than this....It was huge too,which uhm, never hurts,well, maybe sometimes....Believe it or not,this ceramic is byIco Parisicirca 1970s.The "eyeball" moves around in thebottom bowl/stand.I LOVE Italian stuff like thisand would have never believed itwas byIco Parisi if it wasn't signed.And here it is....Isn't the internets grand?Me lookingridiculous,but kinda (?) cute inan "Animal House"Niedermeyer helmet.Niedermeyer in action.....
Ok,
I clearly have lost it from exhaustion....
