This is the second piece I had on display at the Taubman Museum. It consisted of 1' square pieces arranged on the floor.

Peggy Guggenheim Museum

Here I am sitting on Peggy Guggenheim's leather couch at her former villa in Venice thinking about her legacy and the incredible past this couch holds. The couch is in the original location in the room.

Hans Schärer

These Madonnas dominated  Hans Schärer's  work from 1965 to the mid-1980s. I am particularly interested in his lush handling of the paint. Hans Schärer was Swiss. He lived near Lucerne and shared his work with friends but never developed a public market for his work.

Daniel Hesidence

This is one of the few painters represented at the Biennale. Heisidence is from Akron, Ohio. These two paintings are considered a suite. The title for the two works is Autumn Buffalo. He processes the visual information he encounters and invents a new universe from it.

Roger Caillois

These stones are from the french theorist's collection. In the short Biennale guide, Caillois believed that the stones were "...exemplars of a cryptic "universal syntax," a unifying aesthetic language in which human artistic endeavors play but a small part."

James Castle

James Castle is well known in circles that appreciate outsider art. His contribution to the Biennale are these sculptures, a departure from his small interiors pictures, made with soot on cardboard.

Sarah Sze

This is the work of Sarah Sze who represented the United States at the 2013 Venice Biennale. There were many artists in this exhibit that created installations from assorted familiar objects drawing from memory, architecture, and the landscape to provoke thought and imagination.

Jonathan Binet

I came upon Binet's work in a hallway at the Palais DeTokyo. He believes in the "Performative Act." According to  Derrida, "A performative act, in painting, could not be intentional or translatable into discourse: It would act, like a skeleton key does, without creating debt or promising truth."
