Art Collectors
Sherry and Joel began collecting sculpture after they
ran out of space to place art in their home. They now
have over 70 outdoor sculptural installations including
works by Richard Serra, Sol LeWitt and last year's
Icon Award honoree Joel Shapiro, to name a few.
They continued to collect indoor work as well
and opened one of the first "art barns" in the area.

Neil Jenney began selling his Abstract Expressionist paintings in Boston in 1965. His "Bad Paintings", which involved "the relationship of things to things," occupied his career from 1969 to 1970. In late 1970 Jenney decided that a more interesting challenge was "Good Painting", which he has produced since. His work is featured in many major collections including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Whitney Museum of Art and Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

LUCY MITCHELL-INNES
