The Red Studio is an iconic Matisse work: The large (6’ X 7’) painting is suffused… -
The Power Of Peter Fetterman's Photos
The Power of Photography by Peter Fetterman (ACC ART BOOKS $45) is a perfect Father's Day gift â in fact, for me, this will be my gift of choice for birthdays and other present-bearing occasions.Fetterman, the long-time impresario of The Peter Fetterman Gallery at Bergamot Station in Santa Monica, has suffered the difficulties of a business dependent on the purchase and sale of artworks, along with the changing tastes of collectors as generational, societal, and economic shifts have occurred...

Seven Paintings: Tobi Kahn At The Phillips Collection
In 1985, The Guggenheim Museum in New York mounted an exhibition of contemporary young artists, called "New Horizons in American Art" that included the work of Tobi Kahn.
