Esoteric Survey

  Doyle Lane: Weed Pots , an exhibition curated by Ricky Swallow at David Kordansky Gallery in New York. Featuring nearly 100 works, Doyle Lane: Weed Pots is an expanded iteration of a related exhibition of sixty pots that took place at David Kordansky Gallery’s Los Angeles location in 2020.  I'm so fortunate to have been able to make the trip to New York to see this one in person. Ricky is so deep into Lane--not only as a longtime collector but also as the author of the book,  Doyle Lane : Weed Pots . He put together an amazing selection of pots that nobody else could have accomplished. The examples of glazes and forms are most certainly the best selection of weed pots that have ever been assembled. They really show what an amazing artist Doyle was--and this is just the weed pots! The ephemera case.  Doyle's business card and a keychain by him. OBJECTS : USA represented Here come the pots! One of my favorites in the show. This one came from the estate of a promine...

I guess the off roaders don't go out when it's 107 degrees...wimps! I've bought so many wire baskets over the years hoping it was the one shown in this photo of Good Design 1953 at the Merchandise Mart, Chicago.  I finally found the right one. Here is the designer, Helen Pope, holding it. I also picked up another Edward Durell Stone table/bench. Plus, a  Kipp Stewart & Stewart MacDougall bench for Wichendon.
