12 hours of shopping and all i got was this lousy niedermeyer helmet

So,

it was time today 

to set-up for the annual

"Grammercy Park Modernism Show"

now,

not at 

The Grammercy Park Armory, 

and

not even called 

that anymore.

It is now 

"The Modern Show"

and is located at

7 West 34th Street,

directly across the street from 

The Empire State Building.

The show is a shadow of its former self, 

I am sad to say.....

Anyway,

I wanted to document all the dealers setting up,

but man was it boring,

so all you are going to get are some 

silly shots of me

and a couple of

sweet pieces of merch

we bought....

Me

with a jellyfish on my head.

Actually, 

this is is a 

Barovier 

"A Grosse Costolature"

from the 1940s.

This was my very favorite piece of the show,

a 

Guido Gambone vase, 

circa 1950s.

They don't get much better than this....

It was huge too,

which uhm, never hurts,

well, maybe sometimes....

Believe it or not,

this ceramic is by

Ico Parisi

circa 1970s.

The "eyeball" moves around in the

bottom bowl/stand.

I LOVE Italian stuff like this

and would have never believed it

was by

Ico Parisi if it wasn't signed.

And here it is....

Isn't the internets grand?

Me looking

ridiculous,

but kinda (?) cute in

an 

"Animal House"

Niedermeyer helmet.

Niedermeyer in action.....

Ok,
I clearly have lost it from exhaustion....
Back to the dry
book scans
tomorrow....
