An Educated Collector is Our Best Client
Welcome to our modern and contemporary art boutique! Please check out the "About Us" section at the bottom to learn about our history, contact us and/or to arrange to visit our Chelsea, Manhattan showroom. We'd love to meet you! You can also find us on Artsy, Artnet, Artspace and 1stDibs - but our small, family owned business has been selling fine art, rare books, coveted exhibition ephemera and conversation pieces online before all of them! For the privacy of our clients and for ease in viewing, we typically remove works from this website after they have sold out - and we do not publish or share sold prices.

Artist's Statement:
"I feel my cat Piccolo always watching after me, let it be in dream or awake. He follows me everywhere in the house, always choosing to touchdown on the softest and brightest blankets and towels. His taste for the soft and warm things reminds me to be gentle to myself and others even in the toughest times.”
This work was cited for special commendation by the judge, art historian David Cohen, publisher and editor of Artcritical, who wrote,
" Exquisite touch; spare and decisive."
