The Metro Show-NYC

A trip to The Metro Show will reveal a broad spectrum of artwork from a vast field of styles, mediums, and time periods. Held at the Metropolitan Pavilion on 125 West 18th Street, the venue provides a manageable space through which one can navigate easily. On the Show’s website (http://www.metroshownyc.com/), Fair director, Caroline Kerrighan Lerch explains that, “Our vision is to illustrate the intellect, beauty, and vision in American arts and design while placing it in a more modern and international context”. Not only does the fair provide an educational atmosphere where you can learn something new, but it also is a great place to scout artists and develop new relationships with galleries

Below are a few of the most EPiC pieces from the show-

Dieter Roth, Berner Oberland, 1970

Swiss artist Dieter Roth, also known as Dietor Rot or Diter Rot, was best known as a maker of multifarious artist books through which he exemplified his different interests; one of which was printmaking. His series of Berner Oberland from 1970 demonstrates his interest in print making. This series displays the furious energy that he expressed in his work.

Winold Reiss, Folk Motif- Women and Rooster, 1918-19

After being immediately drawn to Reiss’s piece I went and did a little further research on this artist that I knew very little about. I quickly learned that Reiss lived his life as an artist with the  philosophy that travel is necessary to find interesting subjects.  At EPiC we recognize and emphasize the importance on travel because it is travelling to new places the not only inspires us but enables us to find original and unique resources. What a great connection to have with such a talented artist!
