A few weeks ago, I dropped off 28 paintings with Cavalier Galleries in Greenwich, CT, all of which you can see in a slideshow on the Cavalier website.
Ron Cavalier, the owner, said that he would spread the paintings among his 3 galleries, the other two being in Nantucket, MA and New York City.
Yesterday Jay and I went to the Cavalier Gallery in Manhattan, and you can see what we found there. Today we went back to Greenwich to see which paintings that Ron kept in Connecticut. It felt like a cross between going on a treasure hunt and playing Where’s Waldo!
We found 4 paintings, the first of which was this Ho-Ho.
Then I spotted my Double Yolk Egg Raw painting in very good company, next to an early Hans Hoffman, a giant in world of Abstract Expressionism, and diagonally from Wolff Kahn, a contemporary painter famous for his use of color and landscapes.
At this point, I was getting silly and couldn’t resist… What would you call this juxtaposition of Bonnie’s Crumbs Bakeshop Mini-Pack with the resting swimmer? How about Sweet Dreams?
Ron decided to keep this painting in Greenwich since there’s a Crumbs Bake Shop nearby.
After we found the 4th painting, My Fractured World – Oreo Cookie, JoAnn gave us a private tour of the backroom upstairs, which was packed with a dazzling display of work. It’s always fascinating to go behind the scenes of a gallery.
So I hope you’ll stop by to explore when you’re in the area. The work is constantly being rotated. Cavalier is located at 405 Greenwich Avenue in the heart of downtown Greenwich, CT.
Maybe you’ll have as much fun as Jay and I did.
