my favorite dealer: jere barnard

Jere

is probably the 

dealer 

I look most 

forward to seeing 

at the few shows where he sets-up.

He has an amazing eye,

one of the very best.

He buys what he likes,

and puts together a booth of "high" modernism

and "low" folk art.

Something

that is not easy to do.

He makes no distinctions, one is not any better than the other 

and that is

 what makes it great.

Two of my favorite Jere Barnard purchases:

High:

 A world-class Schindler plywood chair.

Low:

 A soft-core pornographic photorealistic 

Tupperware cup carved with a sharpened paperclip

 by a prisoner.

Both were

AMAZING,

neither one any "better" than the other.

(We DID pay just a BIT more for the Schindler....)

So 

here are some of the 

highlights 

from this show's

booth,

shot on a late Sunday afternoon,

3 days after

Jere had sold many of his amazing finds....
