Art Intersection: Silent Auction



I attended Art Intersection (again!) two weeks ago and they finally have their new show up featuring work from local artists who contributed to their annual silent auction! There are prints from renowned photographers, as well as ASU students. I encourage everyone to check it out! You can bid on any piece, and their is something for every kind of budget. I have not bid yet, but I'm thinking about it...you never know if you will be the highest bidder, so it's worth a shot! It is a great opportunity to get original fine art.

Along with the donated pieces, there are several pieces on display from Mark and France Scully Ostermans new series, Light at Lacock: Sun Sketches at the Twilight of Photography. The entire exhibit can be seen at the Tilt Gallery in Phoenix, but there is a nice handful of prints at Art Intersection as well. The Osterman's travelled to Lacock Abbey in England, the birthplace of photography where William Henry Fox Talbot created his earliest camera designs and invented the process known as photogenic drawings. The Ostermans used hand made cameras, like Talbots, to create a collection of paper negatives depicting the surrounding areas that Talbot worked with. It is a great series, and I highly encourage every one to go see it!
