text-align: left;">My love of abstract art is no secret.  I love the colors and movement of the paintings like the one in Kelly Wearstler's home above.  I think a lot of people see abstract art as just paint slapped on a canvas but a lot of thought usually goes into the work.  Abstract Expressionist artist Joan Mitchell once said, "The freedom in my work is quite controlled, I don't close my eyes and hope for the best."  It's also clear from these examples that they can add life to any room.  I especially love abstract paintings from the 1960's mixed with furniture from the 18th-century.  Don't forget to visit the <a href="http://www.moma.org/interactives/exhibitions/2010/abexny/"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Abstract Expressionist</span></a> exhibition at <a href="http://www.moma.org/"><span style="color: #b45f06;">The Museum of Modern Art</span></a> to learn more! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Luther</span></a>, <a href="http://www.maisongerard.com/"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Maison Gerard</span></a>, <a href="http://www.jillnewhouse.com/"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Jill Newhouse</span></a>, and <a href="http://www.axel-vervoordt.com/"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Axel Vervoordt</span></a>.  </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It is worth attending the show just to see Axel's amazing space above.  The gorgeous abstract painting by Kazuo Shiraga, a Japanese artist who was friends with Jackson Pollock, was actually created with his feet.  (That is definitely a story for a future blog post!)  Axel really is a master at mixing the most amazing pieces.  "I mix things from every age; it's like bringing friends together, " he said on 1stdibs.  He is also releasing a new book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Axel-Vervoordt-Wabi-Inspirations/dp/2080301454"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Wabi Inspirations</span></a> in February 2011.  According to the description, Wabi was developed in the twelfth century, and "advocates simplicity and humility, the rejection of all that is superfluous or artificial. Through extraordinary photographs from Japan and Korea to Belgium and Switzerland, Vervoordt invites us to explore the elements that inspire him: natural materials and time-worn objects that evoke the essence of Wabi."  Sounds interesting.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The show runs through October 28th at the Park Avenue Armory.  If you check out coverage of <a href="http://www.haughton.com/international-fairs/13/fair_pages/the-international-fine-art-and-antique-dealers-show"><span style="color: #b45f06;">The International Fine Art & Antique Dealers Show</span></a> on <a href="http://www.1stdibs.com/introspective/on_location/international_fine_art_antique_dealers_show/"><span style="color: #b45f06;">1stdibs</span></a>, you'll find an offer for free admission!  Bon Weekend!</div>
