PARAMOUNT RANCH ART FAIR

A wonderful event in a surprising location...Paramount Ranch, in Malibu. This is an old western town set where scores of movies and television shows were filmed. It was an exciting juxtaposition...seeing the town come to life with a crowd of artists and collectors filling the galleries that had taken over the storefronts, sitting on the wooden boardwalk stoop, and drinking at the saloon which was run by The Mandrake, a bar on La Cienega. The 31 dealers came from all over...Los Angeles, Detroit, New York, Paris, Berlin, and so on. If you see this post quickly you can still go, as it's open today, Sunday, from 11-5. Here are some images from yesterday:
