Bison-tennial Man: A John Lurie Print

The first piece of art I purchased purely for art's sake was a facsimile (edition of 45) of John Lurie's magnificently stroked 'Bison.' A 21x30 inkjet print on archival rag paper, it's signed by John, too.

  • Khatia Buniatishvili: Blazing Piano Goddess Reveals Her Secrets

    Get Khatia Buniatishvili behind a piano and a change occurs. Maybe, not so much a change as opposed to a possession occurs. Sitting at the piano and those keys staring back at her, the soul of everyone who came before her conjures themselves and channel the emotions of the moment. The feeling and the intensity you can witness in Ms. Buniatishvili's face. It is sensual, alarming, hallowing. And Khatia, the Georgian goddess and her blazing piano make you feel every moment. They conjure up the colors of emotion and life.
