I stopped by Anne Irwin Fine Art last night for a fabulous martini party and book signing of gallery owner Anne Irwin’s latest art book, the self-titled Anne Irwin Fine Art ($34.95 hardcover). The book, which is published via an online publisher so that Irwin can update it appropriately each time a work within its pages is sold, offers Irwin’s personal account of her discovery of, and relationships with, each of the artists featured. The result is a glowing, descriptive look at a beautiful collection of works by such artists as David Arms, CW Mundy, Danny McCaw and many more, as well as the unique vision of this passionate art collector. I have a copy of my own and am delighted that I’m already starting to get to know some of the artists better. Here’s to Anne’s great taste and an enterprising new venture!
If you’d like to learn more about Anne Irwin’s artists, her new book, or purchase a copy of your own, contact the gallery at (404) 352-1855 or anneirwinfineart.com

Statistics of Louvre Atlanta’s first year has directors on High
Opening simultaneously at the High Museum on Tuesday, October 16th, is the second year of Louvre Atlanta: The Louvre and the Ancient World and Inspring Impressionism, a unique juxtaposition of masterpieces by Monet, Cezanne and Degas with works by Titian, Rubens and Fragonard. On Tuesday, director Michael Shapiro and Louvre director Henri Loyrette opened the two exhibits for the media and revealed the astonishing success of year one: an average of 1,600 visitors coming through the High per day, or an estimated half-million in its first year. And one can only expect attendance to skyrocket with this brilliant duo of exhibits, in what is most likely the largest concentration of great art at the High since the Olympics.
