ARTmonday: Group Show at Berta Walker

Friday night we went to the opening of a group show at the Berta Walker Gallery in Provincetown.Berta represents some of the best artists in Provincetown, including Paul Resika, Robert Henry, Selina Trieff, Elspeth Halvorsen, and Romolo del Deo. I am excited and proud to say that my mother-in-law, Judyth Honeycutt Katz, had six pieces in the show. Five gorgeously colored pastels of the Truro landscape hung in a group on a wall in the middle gallery, in prominent view. Another was up by the front desk. Two sold on opening night; I’d best hang on to mine! Here is a sampling of some of the pieces I liked best in the show, plus a peek at works in Berta’s office.

Get the Look: 34 (Mostly) Modern Sculptures

Bronze sculptures are expensive, modern or new, but there are examples of vintage and contemporary pieces in other mediums, like wood and ceramic, that are well within reach. I love the well-above-my-price-range biomorphic bronze by Antoine Poncet, as well as Kelly Wearstler’s cheeky legs. And the Finnish sheep in smooth black wood is adorable.
