Hey everyone

hope all is well…. just wanted  to share with you my newest creation.  This piece is 1/3  in a series of social commentaries that will be featured at the grand opening of aoj gallery

healthcare is at the forefront of most of the debates these days.  Shrinking coverages for those in need,  shrinking reimbursements for those who provide the services, and  increased expenses for everyone…….  one this is for sure… our healthcare system  is deteriorating ….. more and more people are forced to make healthcare decisions based on their pocketbook  and forego life saving treatments.  Providers of these services as well are having to reduce or terminate services,  causing a burden on our already deflated economy….when I finished  the sculpture I was surprised to the strength of its message,  as well as its social relevance.  Its weird, but as a artist and a provider of these healthcare services  I share its common message that something has to be done….and felt compelled to create this social commentary…..

“disintegration of a healthcare system”  conceptual sculpture,  aluminum cylinder

hope you all enjoy….

…. last month we were in San Francisco visiting one of my favorite art museums ..The  San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.  As a modernist,  I get truly energized by seeing the work of fellow artists that have inspired me..  Hoffman, Pollack,  Johns,  their work,  their styles,  their creativity…..  So it started a conversation about where is the most famous art museum in the world ?  It was a really hard decision and  I don’t think there was  a concensus on where was the best,  but I think we all agreed on who were the top 10…. possibly 11 (lol)

Top 10 Art Museums… (according to james and sieglinde)

1.  The Louvre,  Paris-

2. National Gallery- London

3. DelPrado- Madrid

4. Metropolitian Museum- NewYork

5.Sao Paulo Museum of Art- Brazil

6. National Gallery of Victoria- Melbourne

7.State Tretyakov Gallery- Moscow

8. National Archaeological Museum- Athens

9.Art Gallery of South Wales-Snydney

10. Vatican- Rome

…  I  have heard (rumor only)  that the art of james gallery located on 1310 s. 3rd st. LV ,NV  was considered as a possible #11 on the top 10  list because of his reasonable pricing and friendly service… LOL!…. peace
