ITALY

Shalom!

I just returned to GINA Gallery New York, where I will be spending the next 2 weeks, after a fruitful trip to several destinations throughout Italy. During my visits with many talented Naives in Florence, Milan, Modena, Pisa, Porto Fino and Torino I began gathering paintings that will form the basis of our early spring GINA New York exhibit exclusively spotlighting the leading Italian Naives. I returned to New York with 50 paintings and look forward to my follow-up visit to Italy in early January to expand this collection to around 90 original paintings.

Stay tuned for notes on my next trip to Scandanavia in early November when I will be visiting 5 or 6 new Danish Naives on a quest for additional pieces to supplement my September trip to this enchanting country.
