Elizabeth Gilfilen

Elizabeth Gilfilen Studio.

She had a GREAT show at John Davis Gallery a couple years ago. It was a 2010 FAVORITE.

I can't keep up with all of the good shows John has...  missed the latest with Katherine Bradford and Farrell Brickhouse.

No this is not Vince! ...but I forget his name. Gary Petersen was here. Where isn't Gary P.

Beth Gilfilen, at John Davis Gallery, Hudson NY.... through August 15th.

Beth is in the carriage house concurrent with Brenda Goodman's show in the storefront space. John Davis has a main year-round storefront space, and a second building - a former carriage house - which is used for the summer... each artist gets a floor.

The carriage house space is fantastic.... Beth's show is on the same floor EJ Hauser had. Sharon Butler on 4. Kenji Fujita and Nancy Shaver on 4. Bromirski on 3.

OK i really like this painting and it reminds of these 1907 infant stool samples.

HEY did you take my poll asking which 1907 infant stool sample Cai Guo-Qiang's Whitney Biennial Gap Artist Editions T-shirt most resembles?
