An Omnibus of Art

Currently on view through July 19, we present An Omnibus of Art: Exhibition and Sale of Old and Modern Masters From the Collection of Jamie Ross. This is the latest in a series of collaborations between Green Lantern Studios and the visual artist and collector Jamie Ross. Unlike prior shows with a narrower focus, this exhibition gives an overview of Ross's wide-ranging interests in his 50-plus years of collecting objects. Included is an assortment of textiles from several different traditions, such as Navajo saddle blankets, early 20th century crazy quilts and oriental rugs, as well as sculptural objects like carved wooden ritual figures from Zaire and Central America.

  Although textiles from the last hundred years form the backbone of Ross's collection, fine and applied art of other types is represented in the exhibition as well, with works by modernist luminaries such as Andre Derain, Josef Albers and Eero Saarinen being shown next to ceramics from ancient Greece. In all, An Omnibus of Art is a portrait of Ross as a collector with an unending appreciation for the artistic production of diverse peoples, places and periods.
