Art in the Windows

Christian Erroi
is a photographer who lives and works in
New York
. His wellsprings of inspiration have long been from nature and introspection about his own physiological studies. Since 2001, his personal work has ranged from abstracted landscapes to calligraphic figure studies. He studied at the International Center of Photography in
New York. His work was selected for two Art + Commerce Festivals of Emerging Photographers. In 2008, he had his first solo exhibition in the
United States, at Poissant Gallery in
Houston, as part of Houston Fotofest. He has exhibited his work in numerous group shows in the
U.S.
and Europe, and also in several solo exhibitions in
Switzerland. In 2009 he was a featured artist in the LiShui Photo Festival in
China
. His work is held in many private collections worldwide, and in the collection of
Museum of Modern Art
,
New York; the George Eastman House,
Rochester,
New York; the Museo Cantonale di Lugano and the Musee de l'Elysee,
Lausanne,
Switzerland.
Evan Mirapaul
lives a life immersed in the arts. He studied the violin in a conservatory setting from high school through college and moved on to a successful orchestral career that culminated in a principal position in the Pittsburgh Symphony. He left the PSO to finish his studies at
Indiana
University
after which he founded the Elements String Quartet. He retired from the violin in 2004. His journey to photography began on a trip with his brother in 1989 to see the exhibit On the Art of Fixing a Shadow, celebrating the 150
th
year of photography at the National Gallery in Washington D.C. Photography has become his passion. He serves on numerous museum committees, most notably at ICP where he is a member of the Exhibition Committee and is co-chair of the Library Committee. He is a former member of the Guggenheim Photography Committee and the Stieglitz Society at the Met. Travel is a catalyst for this collector. Increasingly it has become his goal to seek out photographers and galleries wherever he goes. His method is inquiry - to research as much about a photographer and genre as possible.
He employs the words intelligence and connoisseurship when speaking about defining a collection, and shares his enthusiasm for photography on his blog,
