A Visit to the Assemblage

We were in Oak Hill, NY this summer to catch up with Norman Hasselriis's daughter Connie and see how the gallery that is Norman's legacy has survived.  It was just the same as ever (much to my relief and delight) and it felt as if Norman were still there plugging away making his dadaesque sculptures and working in his garden.  This time I also got to go upstairs to his living quarters which was a nice paired down version of the gallery below.  If you find yourself in the Catskills, poke your head in the window and take a gander or contact the family directly and make an appointment to see for yourself.  Or you can look here on the Moss website from his show earlier this spring in NYC.

I love the work we bought from Norman years ago- my favorite being a collage of a landscape of an old photo of the lower manhattan skyline with butterflies cut out and flying over the city.  He created the piece in response to 9/11.......

ICFF: Saturday evening.

Later that evening after a nap and some delicious homemade turkey burgers (Thanks, Rich!) we headed to Greene Street for the Poetic License show at Moss. We arrived late to a packed gallery but managed to enjoy ourselves and pick out our favorite pieces.

Afterwards it was back up to Chelsea's Milk Gallery to catch the much-anticipated launch of Dune's newest collection Enamored, which featured new works by Karim Rashid, Harry Allen, Richard Shemetov, Claesson Koivisto Rune, Jozeph Forakis, and Carlos Gastelum. The collection is quite futuristic, featuring space-age shapes and bright flourescent hues -- certainly not for everyone, but then not everyone can afford to outfit their home with furniture that isn't mass produced. We threw in the towel around 11:00 p.m., walking back by Chelsea Market where we started our day.
