The Affordable Art Fair


I fell in love with this affordable-for-some oil on canvas painting by Martin La Rosa, an Argentinian contemporary artist who references the Dutch masters like Vermeer in his work. Some of his painting are still lifes with the paintings--like Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring tucked into a glass on the table next to the fruit (Views of Delft. I liked this simple painting that was going for $6000.

The fair was on at the Metropolitan Pavilion on 18th Street between 6th and 7th Ave. Hopefully it returns next year.
