Incredible texture, depth, and moody perfection—this 1961 mixed media work by Harry Bouras is midcentury modern art at its best. It’s raw, sculptural, and it reveals something new every time you look. And that vintage ikebana vase? Perfect sculptural form. Both coming with me to the Modern Show—can’t wait to share these gems in person!

Pure midcentury modern magic, and coming to the modern show next weekend! Minimal, modern, and full of character, these ceramic owls by Helmut Schäffenacker are equal parts art and vibe. Proof that modern design never grows old.

Whether you’re into pottery, art, jewelry or furniture, if you’re into design, there’s something for you at the Sharonville Convention Center, February 21-23.

Vintage lovers, get ready to swoon! ✨ Harry Hilson’s 1970s abstract wool tapestry wall hangings are the ultimate statement pieces—color-soaked, bold, and textural. Think rich earth tones, dynamic shapes, and serious mid-century modern vibes. Who else is obsessed?

Bringing these to the Modern Show, February 21-23, Sharonville Convention Center.

Religious art is never just one thing. It’s personal, open-ended, and layered with meaning—just like this striking 1961 mixed-media piece, Crucifixion. The texture of newspaper clippings and thick oil paint creates a raw, almost chaotic surface, mirroring the complexity of belief, suffering, and redemption.

Whether you see pain, transcendence, or something in between, this work invites you to bring your own story to it.

Crucifixion, 1961, by Walter Sorge (1931-2021).

Bringing this to the Modern Show, February 21-23, Sharonville Convention Center.

How stunning are these Carstens Tönnieshoff vases? 🌙 ✨ The cratered raw texture takes you straight to the moon, and the glaze has an iridescense that gives another nod to Space Age design. The result is pure midcentury magic, and I’ll be bringing it to the 30th annual Modern Show in four short weeks!

Sub-zero weather makes it a perfect day for this sunny wintry landscape by Thomas R. Greene Jr. (1938-2024).

After studying stage design at Carnegie Mellon University, and attending University of Cincinnati, Mr. Greene went on to thrive as a commercial artist in Cincinnati. Later in his career, he spent 17 years teaching design and illustration at the Art Institute of Cincinnati. He and his wife eventually settled on a forested property in Southern Indiana, where he enjoyed nature and continued to paint.

This painting is acrylic on board, undated but likely from the 1980s or early 90s.
