58th Annual Winter Antiques Show

January 20–29, 2012

Park Avenue Armory, Park Avenue at 67th Street, New York City

Jonathan Boos is exhibiting for the first time at the prestigious Winter Antiques Show. Held at the historic Park Avenue Armory in New York City, the show features the “best of the best” from antiquities through the 1960s. Boos is exhibiting three special standing mobiles and four pieces of jewelry by the great American sculptor Alexander Calder. Alongside these works are paintings by Oscar Bluemner, Federico Castellón, Stuart Davis, Willem de Kooning, Marsden Hartley, Jacob Lawrence, Guy Péne du Bois, and Theodoros Stamos, among others. 

These offerings have been singled out for praise in previews and reviews of the show appearing in the New York Times, Bloomberg.com, and 1stdibs.com.

The Winter Antiques Show is an annual benefit for East Side House Settlement, a community resource in the South Bronx. East Side House's programs focus on education and technology as gateways out of poverty and as the keys to economic opportunity. All revenues from the show's general admissions and the net proceeds from the preview parties and other events go East Side House and contribute substantially to its private philanthropic budget.

For more information, see the press release for the show.

The Armory Show–Modern

March 3–7, 2010

Pier 92, New York

Art in America magazine named Jonathan Boos one of the “Top Ten from the Armory Show Modern” (March 8, 2010).

David Ebony says: “Stepping into this booth, one had the feeling of discovering a stellar collection in a little-known museum. Among the treasures, John Storrs’s large untitled abstract black-and-white painting (1934) seemed uncannily of-the-moment. It presided over smaller gems by Edwin Dickinson and Horace Pippin. Bob Thompson’s large, vibrant mythological scene, Tancred and Erminia (1965), with bright blue, yellow, and red figures, also seemed far ahead of its time in terms of reimagining the figure. Marsden Hartley’s Still Life (1921), with its almost angry slashing brushstrokes of black and gold against a pinkish background, conveyed a powerful dynamism that reached far beyond its modest subject and scale.”
