10 Preliminary Final Artists

Artists/works I would eliminate: Julio Bittencourt , Prestes Maia, $12,000 (I am reluctant to purchase work I haven’t seen. Especially given the NYC experience, some “great” works were blah in person and vice versa). Fred Cray* (Travel Diaries, $6,000& $5,000) (I can’t articulate why I’m not fond of these works but I’m not fond of them. I’ll keep trying to find the words.) Sebastiaan Bremer $9,000 (I’m sorry the landscapes aren’t available. Those were better works-imho.) Lalla Essayadi * $9,000 (This work was less interesting in real life; the edge of the negative was bothersome.)
