He pointed out that, of course, there are many works in more familiar genres offered by portraitist Ammi Phillips, Phoenix Ancient Art and others. Unusual finds, however, included, for example, satirical portraits from Carlton Hobbs.
He continued, “A rather different set of objects is at Yew Tree House: more than 200 thin, flat pieces of birch wood in a wide variety of curvy shapes. They belonged to an early-19th-century Swedish woodworker who used them as templates to make parts for ships. Displayed altogether on one wall, they have an elegant, proto-Modernist simplicity.”
More than 60 exhibitors were part of the dramatic show including Anavian Gallery, Arthur Guy Kaplan, Botier, Inc., Clinton Howell Antiques, Phoenix Ancient Art, Crawford and many others.
