The subject of his most recent watercolors includes the extinct species of Passenger Pigeons, Falling Bough, 2002, depicting hundreds of the once abundant species perched on a bough buckling from their weight. Upon close inspection, each is engaged in the vices often depicted in Breughal paintings. For the first time, Ford deviates from his representations in The Starling, 2002. A grossly overgrown European starling, a bird that has spread to many continents, often driving out native species. The voracious appetite of the bird has rendered the landscape barren as it is being fed by exotic birds from all over the world. Each work is rich in symbolism and often a commentary on history, colonialism and the relationship between man and animal. Hours: Tues thru Sat from 10 - 6pm.

'Denying' leads to infinite creativity."

—September 11 thru October 2, 2002— Vintage New York - Art Exhibit at the Oakeside Bloomfield Cultural Center, in Bloomfield NJ, pays tribute to New York on the Anniversary of September 11 and will be available for loan after October 2, 2002. The exhibition is about New York City's history in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Vintage New York consists of over a hundred scenes of the city's people, places and events in its history since 1898 - when its five boroughs were joined into one city. It deals with the tragedies of New York's past as well as with the quiet places where city dwellers go to find refuge from the hectic pace of urban living. Before 9/11/01, this show might have been looked upon as simply another collection of interesting and nostalgic scenes of New York. Today, it takes on greater significance, as the entire country and most of the world still mourns the deaths of thousands of it's citizens and the savage obliteration of one of the youngest of it's architectural landmarks, itself less than a half-century old. Vintage New York is an attempt to bring to light once again an aspect of nostalgic New York which survives today only in small part, whether in architecture or in spirit -- to preserve the memory of a time almost forgotten - which may well prove a haven for many of us who rush into uncertain futures . ARTISTS RECEPTION: Sunday, September 22nd from 1 to 3 pm. (More information on the show's availability can be obtained by writing to the NRCA's exhibition director at 163 Third Avenue, Suite 321; New York, NY 10003; or by calling him at 212-529-2025.)

This exhibition, Nauman's first major museum exhibition in New York City since 1994, records the nocturnal activity in the artist's studio of his cat and an infestation of mice during the summer of 2000.

—March 1 thru April 6, 2002— NOLAN/ ECKMAN GALLERY will be showing:    Five Sculptors¹ Drawings from the 1970s  - Richard Artschwager, Barry Le Va, Sol LeWitt, Alan Saret and Richard Tuttle. The gallery is located at 560 Broadway  New York 10012; 212.925.6190. The 1970¹s were a point of intersection for a varied group of young artists who had been spoon-fed three dimensions, and were digesting Minimalism, Anti-Illusionism, and Conceptualism.  At the time, all were relatively new to the gallery scene. Even the senior members of the five, Artschwager and LeWitt (born 1923 and 1928 respectively) did not manage a one-person show until 1965.  Within a few years, all the rest followed suit.  This exhibition proposes the 1970¹s as a decisive moment for sculptor¹s drawings, and a viewing platform for the present. Artschwager, Le Va, LeWitt, Saret and Tuttle had each become fully established in New York.  Sculpture had temporarily eclipsed painting, and legendary galleries such as Bykert, Greene, Dwan, and Castelli warehouse were flourishing. The 1980¹s hadn¹t yet happened. The art world was small, vital, and cohesive in a way it would never be again.
