This week a Saturday Love story for Valentines Day!!!

Around 22 years ago a family member fell in love with a beautiful woman and was married…living in Atlanta with 3 boys (my nephews)….this is the story of their collection…

I gifted this John Beerman work on paper to the couple at their wedding shower. I am so happy it still hangs prominently in their home !

John Beerman is a living American painter best known for luminous, deeply felt landscapes hose work channels the spiritual calm of the Hudson River School and Luminist traditions, but with a contemporary touch. He’s revered for his subtle handling of light, quiet drama in nature, and contemplative compositions.

The wifes family is Dutch by descent and there are links to that heritage throughout the house. She was immediately attracted to this 1995 color serigraph by Donald Baechler, created for the Lincoln Center Program and titled Mostly Mozart, is associated with the center’s annual summer festival that celebrates the music of Mozart which features an abstract Tulip.

Baechler’s strikingly simplified figures, characterized by pronounced outlines, exemplify a unique visual language that he cultivated throughout his diverse body of prints and paintings. These works elevate his floral compositions into symbolic forms, choosing representations that forgo detailed botanical studies in favor of distilled lines, silhouettes, and gestures. Furthermore, his use of floral imagery taps into a collective cultural memory—an aspect readily acknowledged by nearly all individuals—and he adeptly utilizes this recognition to delve into themes that are both universal and psychological.

Charles Arnoldi is a pioneering figure in postwar American abstraction, widely recognized for his innovative use of unconventional materials and his ability to balance formal rigor with raw physicality. After moving from Australia to California in the late 1960s, Arnoldi became associated with the dynamic Los Angeles art scene, emerging alongside artists who were redefining sculpture and painting outside the New York canon.

I acquired the work above with their home and this space in mind. They loved it and painted the room to accentuate the colors in the work. Below are a grid of Arnoldis which were in my home and they long admired. Many people have remarked how great they look!!

Patricia Tobacco Forrester is an American painter celebrated for her masterful watercolors that merge botanical precision with a deeply immersive sense of atmosphere. we donated the work to a silent
auction and they loved it so much they bought it for their own home collection !!

Let us create a great collection in your loving home!!!
