Autumn in New York greetings, collector friends! Travel and our prettymaps editions have had me focused on the Western frontier recently, but I'll always be an East Coast girl at heart. It's almost-but-not-quite sweater weather in today's New York, and its sunshine-y sky is a welcome respite from the soupy heat and rain that's been hanging around since my return from SF over the weekend. The change in atmosphere is a fine companion to the city's bustle, and is making this week's out-and-about-ness exponentially more pleasant.
And what a week it's shaping up to be! Sara and I have had a couple of downright spectacular studio visits with artists about upcoming editions, everyone's been pitching in on the feverish preparations for tonight's Affordable Art Fair preview and all the other fair-related events coming up this weekend, and it seems like everyone I know from somewhere else is visiting this week. To top it all off, I have the great pleasure of being able to introduce our thirteenth (!) edition from a favorite member of the JBP clan, Joseph O. Holmes.
I laughed as I read Joe's statement for Central Park South. Like him, I'm utterly smitten with New York City. In fact, I'm on record as saying "I really, really, really love New York." and wouldn't you know it, Joe was among the first to second that emotion. I'm prone to express my New York State of Mind in words, but to our great benefit, Mr. Holmes does so with pictures. He's always got an eye out for what's interesting and beautiful about New York, whether he's exploring its boroughs, roaming the corridors of its great institutions or looking down on it from above.
Today's not-quite-bird's-eye view takes us just far enough away to see how our fair city, even on the dreariest of days, can be an elegant backdrop for the glimpses of greenery that our great parks provide. There's something incongruous about how vibrant and lush the trees are, set against the seemingly inhospitable streets and buildings of NYC. But it's kind of like NYers in a way: brusque and businesslike, maybe even hard-edged at the surface, but infinitely and unexpectedly various once you pass through its gates.
