“ . . .Throw out and keep throwing out.
Elegance means elimination.”

Gallery BAC, NY photographs by David John

Listen, the snow is falling o’er town,
Listen the snow is falling ev’rywhere.
Between your bed and mine,
Between your head and my mind.
Listen, the snow is falling o’er town. - Yoko Ono

A quiet afternoon spent in Gallery BAC, with Swedish, French, and Danish works by the masters. The gallery is across the street from BDDW, and Mondrian Soho. - David John

"Founded in 2001 by the Architect Carlos Aparicio, BAC showcases a very unique selection of 20th Century European antiques. Within the walls of a converted warehouse in the SoHo district of Manhattan, BAC presents a spectacular collection that is driven by a great understanding of the period and a desire to display a very special and sophisticated point of view."

There's a guy inside me
Biding his time
Standing in line and waiting for me to fall
For me to fall , Self-preservation threatens us all



Believe it or not, Jean Michael Frank found the flavor of daily life essential to every house. The result of pursuing “perfect taste” was to end up with soulless rooms....

“I wish one could more often see artists collaborating in arranging houses... the result would be, at the very least, something of our time, and alive.”


- Jean Michel Frank, 1895-1941, more here..

what brings people to cry when they see their hero? self defeat? pure adoration?
