:After having last participated in the Winter Antiques Show in
1991, Alex Acevedo of Manhattan's Alexander Gallery will once
again be participating in the prestigious Park Avenue event.
Acevedo, who offers an important selection of American paintings
with an emphasis on the Hudson River School, will be exhibiting
an assortment of American works of art, along with a selection of
prime Americana. Several pieces of George Washington memorabilia
that tie in with this year's loan exhibit will also reportedly be
exhibited in his stand.
Other items to be shown in Acevedo's display include a William
Ranney painting depicting the "Purchase of Manhattan, 1626," an
Eighteenth Century Dutch album filled with Chinese watercolors
and an important landscape of "Niagara and the Rapids," executed
by John Van Derlyn, who was one of the first American trained
artists to visit the falls.
Another item of great importance will be a 1796 portrait of
George Washington that was executed by William Clarke.
Acevedo, who will add flavor to the Winter Antiques Show, will
replace Ricky Goytizolo of Georgian Manor Antiques, who has
decided for personal reasons not to return to the show.
