field trip :: Kusama at the Broad

special project

D and I are working together this month helping update an inventory and preparing work for storage for a dear friend whose mother passed away over thanksgiving. aside from being a painter, ethel fisher also happened to be RBK's mother-in-law.

her home in the palisades is a testament to her life and creativity.

and she had a fabulous collection of chairs.

just a few...

Happy Thanksgiving

and our annual mirror-selfie. because we clean up pretty nice. xo

schooling

horse shows can be broken up in to two big categories - schooling and rated. the girls are doing a bit of both. schooling shows are great for trying out new things (for rider and/or horse) and an opportunity to ride with some of the younger members of our barn team. we love sharing phantom with beginning show riders. and we love this family. xo

recap

a group photo


while many of the rules and regulations around artists' estates vary greatly between the U.S.A. and Europe, the philosophical issues are universal. this workshop provided the opportunity to discuss circumstances that arise when you are dealing with the very personal and at the same time the very public. from archives to artwork. from inventory to exhibition. to legacy.

I am grateful that this group has become a community I will be connecting with again. that sounding board is important to me, working alone in my little backyard office.

and now back to "real life".

home again home again.

early rise. instant coffee. and fly away home.






so much to unpack mentally from this trip. it has been full. more photos here.

Christie's

and a last walk around one of my absolute favorite cities.

The Henry Moore Foundation

GASP. That is all.













(I took a million pictures of the sheep pasture. And if you ever have the opportunity to visit this amazing property, do not hesitate!)
