SOFA (Sculpture, Objects, Functional Art, and Design) is a fair that we have long supported in both New York City and Chicago. The 2015 fair in Chicago promises to bring great art, artists and design together.  We are excited by the impressive roster of international work slated for this year’s event.

At the invitation of Lewis Wexler, Suzanne is looking forward to speaking this Saturday (today!) at 11:30am – 12:30am, Room A at SOFA. The panel discussion is titled Living with the Handmade Object: An Insider’s Perspective. Peter Pincus (his work is featured in the image above) will be speaking on the same panel as Suzanne, and we look forward to a dynamic dialogue between artists and collectors.

Enjoy some of our favorites from SOFA 2015 below.

We had the pleasure of visiting Ann Nathan last week at an event at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. We have loved working with Ann for years, and with Victor. Her booth is always a welcome visit, and we always look forward to new work by Jim Rose.
