At the 2017 Winter Antiques Show, seasoned exhibitors PETER FETTERMAN GALLERY, Santa Monica and JONATHAN BOOS, New York will collaborate on an exhibition titled “Juxtaposed: Paintings, Sculpture & Photographs.” The exhibition will feature a curated booth of 20th-century works from both galleries, masterfully juxtaposing various artists to highlight how similar meaning is created via different mediums. With unique and sometimes whimsical juxtapositions Fetterman and Boos will show the relationships that exist among disparate works and how artworks that at first appear to have nothing in common reveal surprising and poignant parallels and connections.
JONATHAN BOOS gallery, New York specializes in 20th-century American paintings, drawings, and sculpture, with a particular focus on works of the Ashcan school, American Scene painting, Social Realism, Stieglitz-circle modernism, and noted Post-War artists. Website: www.jonathanboos.com
