Pam Lostracco

Pam is an amazing Toronto base artist that have capture the soul of many art lover over the years. In fact, the Four Seasons Hotel Silicon Valley just purchased some of Pam's art for their spa! I guarantee you will fall in love for her delicate style of expression!

This will be Pam Lostracco's first exhibition with the gallery. Lostracco's mixed media work is created through a process that echoes the natural transformation of the urban environment through time, a transformation she sees as similar to the way that a visual impression evolves in the memory, continuously changing in terms of how it is remembered and how it is forgotten.

The opening night is this Thursday, August 5th from 7-10 pm. You can meet the amazing Pam and enjoy a few light refreshments.

Rememorations runs August 1-31 at Shopgirls.

Douglas Coupland’s amazing home

Spools of thread are on display as they would be in a tailor shop, another nod to Mr. Hirst's work. When guests come over to the house Mr. Coupland invites them to pull on the string.

"I collect shapes." - Coupland

Meet Herb and Dorothy Vogel

Herb & Dorothy – An Art Collector Documentary – artmarketblog.com

I was recently made aware of a new film that has just been released called Herb an Dorothy which is the true story of a postal worker and a librarian who built a world class art collection. Projects such as this can only have a positive impact on the art market and increase interest in art collecting so take the time to go and see a great (and award winning) movie while supporting the art market.

Details of movie below:

SYNOPSIS

HERB & DOROTHY tells the extraordinary story of Herbert Vogel, a postal worker, and Dorothy Vogel, a librarian, who managed to build one of the most important contemporary art collections in history with very modest means. They lived off of Dorothy’s salary and used Herb’s to collect art. They only had two requirements when purchasing art: the piece had to be affordable, and it had to be small enough to fit in their one-bedroom Manhattan apartment.

Over the decades they collected over 2000 pieces of art, (keeping all of it in their tiny apartment) and became patrons of artists including Sol LeWitt, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Richard Tuttle, Chuck Close, Robert and Sylvia Mangold, Lynda Benglis, Pat Steir, Robert Barry, Lucio Pozzi, and Lawrence Weiner.

He was a postal clerk. She was a librarian. With their modest means, the couple managed to build one of the most important contemporary art collections in history. Meet Herb and Dorothy Vogel, whose shared passion and disciplines and defied stereotypes and redefined what it means to be an art collector.
