12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS GIFT-GIVING
DAY 1:
ART CAN LEAD YOU TO WORLDS BEYOND YOUR IMAGINATION
CATALAN SPAIN and MALLORCA
10 DAYS IN PARADISE
HUGH ARNOLD'S
CONSTELLATION leads you to your next adventure....
There are only three available worldwide and only one in the United States.
CONSTELLATION,
a Lambda Chromogenic print mounted on Dibond and Acrylic. At 40" x 117", it is the pièce de résistance of the AGUA NACIDA series. With the purchase of this magnificent masterpiece of photography, we have created a journey of dreams for four people with entré to the idyllic island of Mallorca via Barcelona.
Our trip begins in the Catalan city of Barcelona, where we experience the romance, the sights, sounds and tastes of the Spain that Picasso, Dali, Miro, Tapies and the plethora of Spanish artists and poets shared in the "Barcelona de las Artes." In addition, we will experience Mediterranean gastronomy with the atmosphere of
flamenco.
Majorca is a jewel in the Mediterranean landscape, blessed with imposing mountains, wonderful bays and beaches, as well as an ideal climate, almost all-year-round. The art and culture scene's beating heart can be found in the island's capital Palma de Mallorca, whose museums and art galleries are comparable with anything on the international circuit.
If you are looking for a journey that will fill your heart and ease your soul, this is the one that will sweep you off your feet and land you in a state of bliss for decades to come. When Joseph Campbell said "follow your bliss," he must have been referring to Mallorca...And when you return home from this idyllic adventure, Hugh Arnold's "CONSTELLATION" will be waiting to greet you as a reminder of the most exquisite journey of your life....

Critically acclaimed emerging artist Zack Whitford made a big splash during his first show in Chicago. His works of Aerosmith juxtaposed alongside the moving images of people throughout his travels have inspired and enthralled collectors from around the world.
"Whether I am making a portrait of a monk in Bhutan or of an American rock star on the side streets of Istanbul, the one absolute parallel in what I am trying to convey to the viewer is the simple humanity found in one's eyes, body language or facial expression. That unspoken sense of 'Here we are - all in it together."

Horses are a favorite subject of
Chicago-based artist, Eve Ozer. She states, "My work bends reality by layering universally understood images in abstract and surrealistic settings. It reflects this energetic motion through abstract calligraphy, spatters, pours and a reductive process using wet paint and water. Elementary elements."

"ROD STEWART'S FOOTBALL MATCH" by CARINTHIA WEST
Silver Gelatin Print
16 x 20 inches
$1,450
"My friend and roommate, model and photographer, Rory Flynn, (The shapely bum on the right, and the daughter of Errol Flynn), her friend Diane (left) and I used to hang out at Rod Stewart's football match every Saturday in Coldwater Canyon. Everyone who was anyone in rock and roll used to congregate there, and most of the guys ended up playing. At any one time you'd have half the Rolling Stones, The Faces, or The Who on the field. Plus, producers like Ian La Frenais (who wrote 'Porridge') or actors Ian McShane or David Hemmings. It was all shouting and swearing on the pitch. The guy on the right is Paul Nichols, the drummer from Widowmaker, and if you look carefully in the background on the right, you'll see Rod Stewart. This photograph is one of my favorites, and gave me the title for my archive: 'Hanging Out.' ...no one is posing, it is just the way we were... being young, having fun..."

"
GEORGE HARRISON & MAHARISHI, INDIA, 1968"
by PATTIE BOYD
Archival Pigment Print on Cotton Rag Paper
16 x 20 inches
$2,100
George is captured here showing Maharishi some polaroids during a lecture.
Pattie Boyd was instrumental in the Beatle's and particularly George Harrison's interest in India and Eastern philosophy and music. It was on her suggestion that they go to meet Maharishi and explore Transcendental Meditation which soon became a major feature of George's daily life.
"While we were in Rishikesh at Maharishi's ashram studying meditation, there were occasionally intimate talks just for the Beatles. Clearly a lot more meditators were expected, as you can see in the background of this photograph an Indian builder on a rooftop. In the foreground George-wearing a pretty, floral Deborah and Clare shirt-is showing something to the Maharishi." - Pattie Boyd
