The art market is quite literally a market place, where investors buy and sell artworks with profit as their motive. For an art lover, it is somewhat strange for me to think art about it this way, but I understand how the market works and appreciate that when you are spending an extraordinary amount of money on something, you'd like to think that it will hold it's value or even better, appreciate in value over time. Collecting takes a keen eye and an understanding of the artists place in societies present discourse. Our team wants to take the guess work out of collecting - by working with legendary & innovative contemporary artists, we offer an authentic collecting experience for first time buyers and collectors alike. Most well known (for now at least) from our portfolio is Michael Goldberg (1924-2007). Goldberg was a generation younger than the core group of New York School painters--Rothko, Pollock, de Kooning - and while he was frequently classified as a second-generation member of this illustrious group, this designation referred more to the artist's age than the quality of his paintings. Goldberg's ouevre is characterized by only one constant: nimble, improvisational reinvention. While he remained deeply committed to abstraction, over the course of his long career -from the 1940s until his death in 2007 - Goldberg reconceptualized the visual, aesthetic and material boundaries of abstract painting. Over the past 5 years, Goldberg's work has been selling for record prices at auction. In 2008 an Untitled piece from 1956 (above left) sold for a whopping $208,000 USD at Christies in NYC. That same year, The Keep - painted in 1958 (above right) sold for $183,000 USD. Our creative team originated in New York City and comprises of artists, critics, historians and academics with a common love of all things art, and a passion to make art accessible to everyone. We have been able to work with the Estate's of artists like Michael Goldberg and others who love art and who would like their work to be available to people with a more modest budget. Our pieces are for those of us who are interested in buying art that not only speaks to them, but art that will be a worthwhile investment for the future.

A geometric abstraction, as the name suggests, describes an abstract artwork created with geometric forms. Rather than reference the actual world as we see it, these artworks work through metaphor, exploring the two dimensional nature of painting and that way that line and geometric form function within the parameters of 2-dimensional space. Unfortunately, paintings dealing with such a pure form of abstraction often get over looked because they seem too simple - I could do that, so why is it art? [caption id="attachment_6702" align="alignleft" width="510"] Artwork by Rebecca Norton & Jeremy Gilbert-Rolfe[/caption] For the most part, the geometry of space is hidden from the human eye and because of this, it can be difficult to find real life associations with such imagery.  In this sense, it is a space where the artist can truly escape any reference to illustration. Rebecca Norton's & Jeremy Gilbert-Rolfe's work as seen to the left, unveils the hidden affine geometries of reality. Rather than depict actual scenes, Norton & Rolfe work with geometric shapes to reveal the dynamic structure of space and the way light moves through and interacts with the spatial fabric to create an ever evolving, yet massless environment. Their work is extremely painterly and through the skillful play of form and space, Norton & Rolfe communicate the dynamism of nature and the hidden reality of it's endless transformation. This concept is not described through a literal illustration of transformation, but a metaphor that is communicated through the pure relationship of form, composition and surface.
