NEW YORK.- From March 20th to April 14th, 2007, Lori Bookstein Fine Art will present Anniversary: Ten Years of Gallery Art and Artists. The exhibition will feature highlights by gallery artists and a selection of secondary market works which the gallery has handled in the last decade.

Over the years, Lori Bookstein Fine Art has committed itself to a rigorous aesthetic standard, albeit one that is independent of geography, chronology, or artistic movements. The gallery has handled work by artists as diverse as Annibale Carracci, Henri Fantin-Latour, Adolph Gottlieb and Al Held, in addition to its stable of contemporary talent. Anniversary celebrates the gallery's aesthetics and showcases an incredible range of artists and mediums, from collages and work on paper, to paintings both hanging and free-standing, to sculpture in clay, resin, bronze, plaster and mixed media. Of particular note in the current show are an altarpiece Crucifixion by Gandy Brodie, a monumental cubist head by the American Modernist Alfred H. Maurer, and an iconic portrait profile by David Park of the artist's wife. Other artists include Leland Bell, Robert de Niro, Sr., Marsden Hartley, Louisa Matthíasdóttir and Jan Müller. The list of gallery artists is comprised of Eve Aschheim, Willard Boepple, Varujan Boghosian, Walker Buckner, John Dubrow, Garth Evans, Bruce Gagnier, Ken Kewley, Irving Kriesberg, Louise Kruger, Tine Lundsfryd, Janet Malcolm, Wendy Mark, Susannah Phillips, Paul Resika, and Jolie Stahl. Lori Bookstein Fine Art also represents the estates of Rosemarie Beck, Louis Finkelstein, Aristodimos Kaldis, Henry Rothman, Jonathan Silver, and Anne Tabachnick.

In keeping with the gallery's penchant for installations which shun from obvious juxtapositions, the show pairs mid-century works with contemporary ones, abstraction with figuration, and one medium with another. An especially striking dialogue is set up between John Dubrow's newest Union Square picture and David Park's portrait, or Bruce Gagnier's standing female nude and an early still life by Robert de Niro, Sr., inviting the viewer to draw his own conclusions about the work.
