Howard’s Picks
ART
Theresa Chong - SOLD, Sitka, 2007
Exquisite technique, delicate and intricate. A favorite here in Dallas.
Chuck Close, Sunflower, 2007
Amazing tapestry by America’s most important living representational painter.
Gregory Crewdson, Untitled, 1996
Superb example of an important series of Gregory’s work. There are two in The Rachofsky Collection.
Richard Diebenkorn, Combination, 1981
Classic imagery from the great California painter.
David Dupuis, Untitled, 2008
Quirky collage, nicely rendered.
Hot artists exploring the relationship between architecture and art.
Emily Eveleth, Stack, 2007
Fleshy painting, makes me hungry…
Tony Feher, 2 Star Ball Bounce, 2005

Successful New York artist, born and raised in Texas.
Tim Gardner, Untitled (Tim and Tobi, Christmas Hats), 2008
Rachofsky Collection favorite, always personal, perfectly rendered.

Tounge-in-cheek, very quirky, first time I’ve seen the work.

Paul Lee, Untitled (can sculpture), 2008
Common materials referencing Rauschenberg, but in a 21st century context exploring identity.
