I am sad to report that Indigo co-founder and my former wife Deborah Cholet passed away on Thursday, October 15th, 2015. Deb (Devi) was an artist, designer, and a jeweler. She was a collector of art, cats and birds, and a bright shining spirit.
A story I've been following here in Philadelphia concerns African contemporary art, artistic freedom and first amendment (maybe even second amendment) rights.
I just returned from a twelve day visit to Haiti. I was there with about two dozen other Haitian art collectors, gallery owners and museum curators for the 2014 conference of the Haitian Art Society.
In March, 2012 we received this sad news from Susan Tselos about a Haitian artist who we have had the privilege of knowing and exhibiting for many years:
You can find and admire work by an internationally known and feted artist, Twins Seven-Seven, who died this past year, right inside the Crane, at Indigo Arts.
Prince Twins Seven-Seven suffered a stroke and was hospitalized in April 2011. He passed away on June 16th, 2011. Twins Seven-Seven was one of the greatest, and certainly the most celebrated, African artist of his generation.
