Outsider Art "Animals and Castles" Oil on Panel by Bruno Del Favero
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Oil on panel by acclaimed outsider artist, Bruno Del Favero (b. Italy 1910, d. USA 1995), circa 1970. Fine example showcasing Del Favero's aptitude for creating fantastical landscapes. Contrasting oxen / bulls and flamingos with a castle backdrop creates an imaginary context removed from reality. Del Favero's marriage of fantasy and whimsy beautifully suits his Naïve painting style. Singed on verso. Bio from the Philadelphia Museum of Art: Born Princeton, Michigan, 1910; died Greenwich, Connecticut, 1995 Bruno Del Favero moved from Michigan to northern Italy with his parents at age five, returning in 1928 and settling in Greenwich, Connecticut, where he married and remained for the rest of his days. He made his living as a mason, chauffeur, and landscape gardener. It is not known exactly when or why he began to paint his delicate and mysterious landscapes, but he was exhibiting in local art shows by the early 1970s and took himself seriously enough as an artist to join the Greenwich Art Society. He maintained a studio in the basement of his home, but never shared his art with his wife and five children. After the artist's death his family introduced his work to New York dealers Shari Cavin...

“Straight Up” Stone and Mixed Media Pop Art Sculpture by Robin Antar
By Robin Antar
Located in Wiscasset, ME
STRAIGHT UP Robin Antar alabaster, marble, mixed media 31 x 7 x 7 in This piece was carveed out of a solid block of alabaster stone and hand painted. American Pop art sculptor Robin Antar has been called “Brooklyn’s answer to Andy Warhol.” She brings Pop art to stone, carving iconic American food and designer clothing with her distinct brand of hyperrealism. Robin Antar began sculpting in 1974 and had already paid her dues in sweat and stone dust before receiving a BFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York in 1981. Her artistic path parallels the American art world’s evolution from Abstract Expressionism to Pop art: she began creating abstract works that were deeply rooted in her emotions before turning to realism in 1998. Her “Realism in Stone” series soon gained notoriety and she began getting commissions to carve replicas of products for national and international companies such as Dr. Martens, Stella Artois...
