Bonhams 2015

Looking exactly as one would think an auction house should, Bonhams on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles was beautiful even when in transition.  My passion for art and the art world has come full circle:  I began by looking at art; then, learned to be an artist; created art; collected art; sold my art; served on art boards; organized art festivals and shows; judged and curated art; sold the art of others; owned and operated art galleries; helped raise art scholarship funds; created art districts; continued to look at art; and, am now selling my own art collection.

VASA

A book about the artist Vasa (Velizar) Mihich has just been published and I am the lucky recipient of an autographed copy. Click here to learn even more about the artist.

The abstract expressionistic movement lured him to the United States, but being open to the new technologies led him to working in a minimalist way. After having experienced the chaos of the World War II in his native Yugoslavia he felt "like a fish in water when coming to Los Angeles."

Passionately desiring order, Vasa creates paintings and scultpure based on a grid. Originally his work was gestural, but at the turn of the century he turned to the newly-introduced computers to generate his images.

In America, Vasa found himself and also his expression of beauty. His images and sculptures are basic shapes, the surfaces are sharp and smooth...seducing the viewer with luxury.
