Helmut Koller | #Kollerism
On February 21, the Fritz Gallery hosted an opening reception for a solo exhibition of Austrian-born artist Helmut Koller. Known for his brightly colored animal paintings, self-taught artist Koller comes from the world of photography. Having made his name as the official photographer of the Vienna State Opera, he started painting realistically, like Victor Vasarely and other artists, but then his style evolved. He coined a word for it, "Kollerism," which he defines as "realistic representation of the form and the abstraction of colors" with a three-color harmony. "I am the creator, leader and only follower of my own art movement," states Koller. The artist spends his time between Palm Beach, Florida and his native Vienna, Austria. His work is on display at the Fritz through March 17, 2019.
Boccara Gallery at the Palm Beach Jewelry, Art & Antique Show 2019
Last but not least, one of the notable exhibitors this year at the Palm Beach Jewelry, Art & Antique Show is the Parisian gallery “Boccara.” Art dealer Didier Marien has brought an impressive collection of tapestries ranging from antique to contemporary. They are unique because “there is not [sic] so many on the market, it’s museum quality,” says Marien. He likes to mix different epochs and styles. Thus, the Renaissance piece “Le repas de Psyché” (Dinner of Psyche) was part of the royal collection of Louis XIV. Among the featured modern artists are Wassily Kandinsky, Sonia Delaunay, Jean Lurçat and Victor Vasarely. In addition, Boccara represents contemporary sculpture and mixed media objects. Marien invites everyone to visit the Galerie Boccara in Paris. February 18, 2019
