Charles Hollis Jones @ OBJCT Gallery

The OBJCT gallery in Pomona, Ca will be featuring American artist and furniture designer Charles Hollis Jones-12 CHAIRS this month.

Karl Benjamin Studio Interview

I had the opportunity to go with my friends over at the OBJCT gallery to interview Karl Benjamin at his studio. This is my first time meeting Mr. Benjamin on a personal level, he's very hospitable and a joy to talk to and an honor to meet. The video interview is coming soon so look out for it @ the OBJCT gallery website. Click HERE to vist the OBJCT gallery website.

Harrison McIntosh @ AMOCA

I went to see the Harrison McIntosh exibition, " A Timeless Legacy" at the American Museum of Ceramic Art (AMOCA). I encourage everyone to go and check out this exhibition if you get a chance. Don't forget to pick up a copy of Harrison McIntosh retrospective book, A Timeless Legacy. There will be a personal appearance and book signing on October 10, 6-7pm @ AMOCA. Thank you to Catherine McIntosh & AMOCA for putting this wonderful exhibition together, as well as Harrison McIntosh for introducing such wonderful pottery into the world.

Richard Neutra House SOLD in San Bernardino, Ca

Ok...I was quite shocked when I saw this. The Gillen house designed by Richard Neutra located on the foothills of the San Bernardino National Forest sits on a 2 acre lot and was built in 1955. The asking price of this gem was $299,000. On the market for 2 months and is now pending. This would have been a fun project to take on. One problem though, the property is astride the San Andreas Earthquake Fault, but I would chance the "BIG" one to hit, to be able to live in a Neutra for $299,000!!

Criley & McDowell Ontario, Ca

I'm 99.9% sure this is a Criley & McDowell designed home because of this drawing here done by Fred McDowell. The house is located in Ontario, Ca. I always admire it when passing by. Classic post and beam construction, the carport design really stands out to me. I love the way architects from this period incorporated the carports with the design of the house.

Karl Benjamin Opening Reception

I attended the opening reception of Karl Benjamin: Paintings and Installation. Enjoyed the good company and the good art!
