Albucker, Benjamin (@albuckergallery)

Benjamin Albucker is an antiques dealer and a self-taught student of 20th-century design. He is an obsessive creative, designer, and stylist. He is a tinkerer and dreamer — or in other words, an “ideas man.”

The focus of Benjamin’s Lambertville gallery pivots on the intersection of vintage design and period art. As a curator, his work takes him searching for the one-of-a-kind gems of 20th-century design and objects of undeniable beauty and inherent story. He is a true modernist, but not without an overwhelming appreciation for the curious, the beautiful, and the ancient.

Benjamin briefly studied textiles at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. He lives in New Hope, PA, and runs a gallery at 12 Church Street in Lambertville, NJ.

As we know, Noel is dedicated to his craft. The quest to find this toy has taken him to many places around the world. This photograph is one of 2057 places that Noel has been searching for this toy.

Heyman’s work is included in numerous public collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Library of Congress, New York Public Library, Yale University Art Gallery, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Baltimore Museum of Art, Princeton University Art Museum, Hood Museum of Art, RISD Museum and the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. 

Indiana, Robert (www.robertindiana.com)

One of the preeminent figures in American art since the 1960s, Robert Indiana played a central role in the development of assemblage art, hard-edge painting, and Pop art. Indiana, a self proclaimed “American painter of signs,” created a highly original body of work -- including his best-known stack of serif letters spelling LOVE -- that explores American identity, personal history, and the power of abstraction and language, establishing an important legacy that resonates in the work of many contemporary artists who make the written word a central element of their oeuvre. Although acknowledged as a leader of Pop, Indiana distinguished himself from his Pop peers by addressing important social and political issues and incorporating profound historical and literary references into his works. The Presidential Portfolio consists of six prints, including An Honest Man has been President: a portrait of Jimmy Carter commissioned by the Democratic National Committee.

Macht, Paul (www.machtarchitecture.com)

Carversville resident Paul Macht is a long-time architect new to painting. His work explores structure and loose form as an emotive language, primarily via acrylic and charcoal on canvas or mixed media printed on canvas. The most recent work starts somewhat randomly with layered free-flowing lines, shapes, and colors that create conflict and happenstance, refinement and amplification. The process can be seen in the translucency of the figures. In viewing the final painting of intertwined figures, the idea is to look closely and enjoy.

“I collect fragments of paper, ephemera, objects, and segments of my own paintings. When I put the works together it is usually based on relationships that I see between the fragments. The process can sometimes feel like chaos but through drawing, painting, sanding, rolling and encaustic, they come together. It is the journey that I crave. The resulting work of art provides, as Julian Levy once wrote, “a persuasive, convincing new species, made from the irrational discovery of joining the utterly dissimilar.”
