Fulton Mall / Cinco de Mayo
A Cinco de Mayo celebration was held this past weekend at the Fulton Mall in Fresno. This comes as the City of Fresno is going ahead with plans to rip up the art-filled pedestrian mall. According to an article in the Fresno Bee, "A general contractor to oversee the $20 million project should be selected by late summer. The first chunks of mall concrete could be flying by the fall." See the City's anti-environmental and backwards thinking plan here.Read more here: http://www.fresnobee.com/2015/04/25/4494432_city-hall-officials-full-speed.html?rh=1#storylink=cpy It's bittersweet to see so many people enjoying the mall. Cars could be taking over soon.
The vacant Luftenburg's Bridal has now been replaced with 3 Hermanos furniture.

Where the / Buck
Buck House (1934) by Rudolph Schindler
There was a Claire Falkenstein sculpture/fountain at the house in 1979. It must have been installed sometime after 1960.

Erich Dieckmann chair (Germany, 1930s) This is proof that I look at non-California pieces that were made before the 1940s.

The Dorothy Weiss collection is part of the Bonhams 20th Century sale, which will be happening tomorrow.
Dorothy Weiss (on the left) was a mover and shaker in the art world, as evident in this picture where she's hanging out with Peter Voulkos. Source: Bonhams
Along with the amazing Voulkos pieces seen in the top photo, her collection included pieces by Jun Kaneko, Ruth Duckworth, Rudy Autio, Viola Frey, the Natzlers, and Philip Cornelius (seen here).
Ruth Duckworth
Dorothy had some amazing stuff, but she didn't have this one. This is one of the two Jack Rogers Hopkins chairs in the auction. The piece on the wall is by Robert Arneson. Jack Rogers Hopkins from the back.

Eames and Nelson
A pair of Evelyn Ackerman mosaics among more Eames and Nelson.
That's Jerry Ackerman giving his seal of approval. He identified them as being later in production (meaning late 50s/early 60s) due to the construction of the frame. That guy remembers …
