Joseph Zbukvic sells painting featured in a preview of his show at Principle Gallery
Watercolorist Joseph Zbukvic sent the large-format Sunset on Santa Maria Della Salute as a centerpiece for his November solo exhibition Hidden Gems at Principle Gallery in Charleston, South Carolina. The piece was featured in a preview of the show in the November issue. The collector who acquired the work was also a student of Zbukvic in a workshop the gallery hosted in the days leading up to the show. The same client also purchased a second painting from the exhibition, Afternoon Stroll, Beacon, NY. “This piece not only served as a centerpiece for the exhibition, but as a testament to the skill and range that Joseph has in his work,” says assistant gallery director Carson Reeder. “With most other pieces included in the exhibition measuring less than half its size, the impact of the composition is intensified in the scale increase.”+++

Angelika Weinekötter sells painting through 33 Contemporary
Angelika Weinekötter’s Quiet Tides sold through an online Artsy show presented by 33 Contemporary to a private collector. “It sold very quickly, directly from my studio in Germany, while the paint was still drying,” explains Weinekötter. “Because of this, the collector waited a few additional days after the purchase for the oil paint to fully cure before the work could be shipped.” Quiet Tides is part of the artist’s ongoing series Dialogue of Species, which explores moments of quiet connection between humans and animals. “Conceptually, Quiet Tides captures a moment of quiet closeness between the figure and the octopus, held in a suspended calm,” says Weinekötter. After receiving the painting and living with it for a few days, the collector shared what attracted her to the piece: “The connection between the woman and the octopus reveals a bond of light, unity and love between two sentient beings that is viscerally palpable. It is a message of hope.” —Interested in having your SOLD! story featured in the pages of American Art Collector magazine?
