Fall Group Show
Gallery A is exhibiting the work of eight nationally known artists in our Fall Group Show.
The show ran through December 17, 2011.
A show of Myron Helfgott's work will open on Thursday January 19, 2012. The opening reception is from 5 to 9 PM on Thursday.
JOHN ANTONE
According to John Antone, art must be in touch with our dreams. As he sees it, man’s most profound experiences in life are those which, like dreams, we understand with our hearts and minds: experiences such as love, the death of a beloved, or the birth of a child. Although not precisely religious, art becomes an outlet and release for emotion and intelligence, and touches on the importance of being human.
John Antone has studied with some of America’s most outstanding artists and art institutions. He did his undergraduate work at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia, and at the Rhode Island School of Design’s National Honors Program in Rome, Italy. In 1975, Antone had the opportunity to study at California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, California, working with John Baldessari, the world renowned, conceptual artist.
John completed his MA in Sculpture at the University of Wisconsin in 1977, studying under Deborah Butterfield, and achieved his MFA from that school in 1978. This year, Antone received a Virginia Museum Foundation Professional Fellowship in sculpture, one of the most significant artistic awards given nationally.

TOM CHENOWETH
(www.astradesign.com)
Tom’s work is formal and structural. Energy and balance are primary concerns. Every piece is a conversation of material and stems from the physical experience of manipulating metal, achieving and organic grace and intuitive expressiveness while maintaining the integrity of the man-made structural materials. Tom’s work began over 30 years ago, earning a BFA and MFA in Sculpture. In the beginning, Tom’s work was about learning all the things he could do with the material and acquiring the technical expertise necessary to give form to his ideas. Later Tom began borrowing design elements from his large scale sculpture, creating practical objects for creative environments. Tom has work in many private and public collections and accepts custom requests.
Tom earned his BFA in sculpture from the Maryland Institute, College of Art and his MFA in sculpture from VCU. He was one of the original founders of 1708 Gallery in Richmond. Together with his wife Louise Ellis, a fellow artist, own Astra Design, a small retail gallery in Richmond. For more info, please visit:
AL DAVIS
Mr. Davis is Vice President of Creative Services at CRT/tanaka, a national company with tremendous experience in numerous categories and well-developed capabilities in marketing, branding, PR and social media.
While attending VCU school of design Mr. Davis was exposed, so to speak, to photography. Although he pursued a career as a designer he never stopped capturing images. The play of light and shadow could be considered a definition of creation. Focusing creative energies through a camera lens just seems natural.
MYRON HELFGOTT
Myron Helfgott received his BA and MFA degrees from Southern Illinois University and studied with R. Buckminster Fuller from 1957-59 and in 1962. From 1968 until 2003, he was a professor in the department of sculpture and extended media at Virginia Commonwealth University and served as acting chair from 2001 to 2003. He has had numerous one-man exhibitions throughout the United States and has participated in over 50 group shows.
He has exhibited at the Whitney Museum in New York City, the Philadelphia Arts Alliance, Usdan Gallery in Bennington, VT and Peninsula Arts Center in Norfolk, VA and the prestigious “un/Common Ground” show at the Virginian Museum of Fine Art, as well as Tokyo, Lima, and Glasgow. He received the Virginia Commission for the Arts Distinguished Artist award. His sculptures incorporate audio, kinetics, photography, assemblage, etc.
His work is in both public and private collections, including the Chrysler Museum of Art, the Corcoran Museum of Art, the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, Best Products Foundation, and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. Among his many residencies are the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris from 2003 to 2007.
MARTIN JOHNSON
(www.martinbjohnson.com)
Martin Johnson was born in Elmer, New Jersey, in 1951, and moved with his family to Richmond at age five. He earned a degree in Architecture from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (1974), and an MFA in Studio Art from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (1977). Upon graduating from UNC, Johnson moved to New York City where he was granted one of the first studios at PS1, the landmark institute of contemporary art that is now a permanent exhibition site for MoMA. Johnson’s early career garnered critical attention, including support from curator Marcia Tucker and gallery owner Phyllis Kind. He was represented by Phyllis Kind Gallery in Chicago and New York from 1979 to 1987, during which time his work entered numerous private collections, including those of famed contemporary collectors Donald and Mera Rubell and Herbert and Dorothy Vogel.
In 1987, Johnson abandoned his thriving art career in New York and moved his young family back to Virginia. Since then, Johnson has continued to work prolifically in his studio while maintaining a full-time career as President of Virginia Marketing Associates, a successful sales agency based in Richmond.
Recently, as part of Dorothy and Herbert Vogel’s “Fifty Works for Fifty States” gift to museums and art institutions across America, Johnson’s work entered the collections of 35 museums throughout the United States, including the Virginia Museum of Fine Art and the National Gallery of Art. Johnson is currently working with curator Ray Kass on an exhibition for the Taubman Museum of Art, scheduled for 2014.

Richard Pettibone
(www.castelligallery.com)
We are showing Richard Pettibone’s “Andy Warhol, Cambells Soup, Minestrone, 1962”. Richard’s work is currently on display at the Leo Castelli Gallery in New York.
In the December 10, 2004 issue of the New York Times Ken Johnson wrote: “Richard Pettibone has forged a singularly interesting career by copying in miniature what other, more famous artists have done. Copying other people's art may not in itself be highly original, but Mr. Pettibone has done it with such finely tuned wit and tenderly fastidious craft that his work comes to seem extraordinarily personal.”
In the July 15, 2005 issue of the New York Times Roberta Smith wrote: “For more than 40 years, the artist Richard Pettibone has thought small in at least two ways. He has relentlessly produced exquisitely accurate pocketsize copies of modernist masterworks by artists from Duchamp and Brancusi to Lichtenstein and Warhol. In addition, he has seemed completely unperturbed by this apparent lack of originality. What has it gotten him? Certainly not the attention he deserves.
But redemption may be nigh. Mr. Pettibone's first full-dress retrospective is at the Institute of Contemporary Art here. Organized by Ian Berry, associate director of the Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., and Michael Duncan, a critic and independent curator from Los Angeles, the exhibition is undeniably ambitious: 215 works spanning more than four decades of art-making.
The walls are dotted (literally) with tiny versions of Warhol's soup cans, Marilyns, cows and flowers, the latter sometimes multiplied into miniature wallpaper like patches.”
In Ms. Smith’s words; “Mr. Pettibone is a connoisseur and careful explorer of the chief wellspring of art-making: the simple love of art. His work makes transparent the complex mixture of discernment, admiration and competition that spurs artists to make something they can call their own.”

According to John Antone, art must be in touch with our dreams. As he sees it, man’s most profound experiences in life are those which, like dreams, we understand with our hearts and minds: experiences such as love, the death of a beloved, or the birth of a child. Although not precisely religious, art becomes an outlet and release for emotion and intelligence, and touches on the importance of being human.
John Antone has studied with some of America’s most outstanding artists and art institutions. He did his undergraduate work at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia, and at the Rhode Island School of Design’s National Honors Program in Rome, Italy. In 1975, Antone had the opportunity to study at California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, California, working with John Baldessari, the world renowned, conceptual artist.
John completed his MA in Sculpture at the University of Wisconsin in 1977, studying under Deborah Butterfield, and achieved his MFA from that school in 1978. This year, Antone received a Virginia Museum Foundation Professional Fellowship in sculpture, one of the most significant artistic awards given nationally.

Tom’s work is formal and structural. Energy and balance are primary concerns. Every piece is a conversation of material and stems from the physical experience of manipulating metal, achieving and organic grace and intuitive expressiveness while maintaining the integrity of the man-made structural materials. Tom’s work began over 30 years ago, earning a BFA and MFA in Sculpture. In the beginning, Tom’s work was about learning all the things he could do with the material and acquiring the technical expertise necessary to give form to his ideas. Later Tom began borrowing design elements from his large scale sculpture, creating practical objects for creative environments. Tom has work in many private and public collections and accepts custom requests.
Tom earned his BFA in sculpture from the Maryland Institute, College of Art and his MFA in sculpture from VCU. He was one of the original founders of 1708 Gallery in Richmond. Together with his wife Louise Ellis, a fellow artist, own Astra Design, a small retail gallery in Richmond. For more info, please visit:
AL DAVIS
Mr. Davis is Vice President of Creative Services at CRT/tanaka, a national company with tremendous experience in numerous categories and well-developed capabilities in marketing, branding, PR and social media.
While attending VCU school of design Mr. Davis was exposed, so to speak, to photography. Although he pursued a career as a designer he never stopped capturing images. The play of light and shadow could be considered a definition of creation. Focusing creative energies through a camera lens just seems natural.

MARTIN JOHNSON
(www.martinbjohnson.com)
Martin Johnson was born in Elmer, New Jersey, in 1951, and moved with his family to Richmond at age five. He earned a degree in Architecture from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (1974), and an MFA in Studio Art from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (1977). Upon graduating from UNC, Johnson moved to New York City where he was granted one of the first studios at PS1, the landmark institute of contemporary art that is now a permanent exhibition site for MoMA. Johnson’s early career garnered critical attention, including support from curator Marcia Tucker and gallery owner Phyllis Kind. He was represented by Phyllis Kind Gallery in Chicago and New York from 1979 to 1987, during which time his work entered numerous private collections, including those of famed contemporary collectors Donald and Mera Rubell and Herbert and Dorothy Vogel.
In 1987, Johnson abandoned his thriving art career in New York and moved his young family back to Virginia. Since then, Johnson has continued to work prolifically in his studio while maintaining a full-time career as President of Virginia Marketing Associates, a successful sales agency based in Richmond.
Recently, as part of Dorothy and Herbert Vogel’s “Fifty Works for Fifty States” gift to museums and art institutions across America, Johnson’s work entered the collections of 35 museums throughout the United States, including the Virginia Museum of Fine Art and the National Gallery of Art. Johnson is currently working with curator Ray Kass on an exhibition for the Taubman Museum of Art, scheduled for 2014.

Richard Pettibone
(www.castelligallery.com)
We are showing Richard Pettibone’s “Andy Warhol, Cambells Soup, Minestrone, 1962”. Richard’s work is currently on display at the Leo Castelli Gallery in New York.
In the December 10, 2004 issue of the New York Times Ken Johnson wrote: “Richard Pettibone has forged a singularly interesting career by copying in miniature what other, more famous artists have done. Copying other people's art may not in itself be highly original, but Mr. Pettibone has done it with such finely tuned wit and tenderly fastidious craft that his work comes to seem extraordinarily personal.”
In the July 15, 2005 issue of the New York Times Roberta Smith wrote: “For more than 40 years, the artist Richard Pettibone has thought small in at least two ways. He has relentlessly produced exquisitely accurate pocketsize copies of modernist masterworks by artists from Duchamp and Brancusi to Lichtenstein and Warhol. In addition, he has seemed completely unperturbed by this apparent lack of originality. What has it gotten him? Certainly not the attention he deserves.
But redemption may be nigh. Mr. Pettibone's first full-dress retrospective is at the Institute of Contemporary Art here. Organized by Ian Berry, associate director of the Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., and Michael Duncan, a critic and independent curator from Los Angeles, the exhibition is undeniably ambitious: 215 works spanning more than four decades of art-making.
The walls are dotted (literally) with tiny versions of Warhol's soup cans, Marilyns, cows and flowers, the latter sometimes multiplied into miniature wallpaper like patches.”
In Ms. Smith’s words; “Mr. Pettibone is a connoisseur and careful explorer of the chief wellspring of art-making: the simple love of art. His work makes transparent the complex mixture of discernment, admiration and competition that spurs artists to make something they can call their own.”
