The 100 DC Artists in the book
Here are the 100 DC area artists whose work will be highlighted, discussed and illustrated in the forthcoming book (tentative title) 100 Washington Artists. Putting this list together was a joint effort between me, several key DC area collectors, a few gallerists and a couple of museum curators. There are three key names missing from the list, all of whom are most deserving of being highlighted anytime that anyone discusses artists from the capital region. Two did not want to be in the book; the other one I wasn't able to contact through email, phone messages and even snail mail (in fact I'm a little worried about her).
In the end, it was a slightly joint effort by about a dozen people, and we all had agendas, and we are were nepotistas and we all had our favorites. In the end, I think that it is a pretty good list that includes the best artists working and living around the capital region (minus the three discussed above) plus a pretty good set of emerging young stars plus a good number of artists who deserve a lot more attention.
More later on the brutal lessons learned in dealing with 100 creative minds and an iron clad deadline. Congratulations to all the 100 folks below, and my apologies to the 1,000 others who deserve to be in this volume. I say "this volume" because the good news is that I have been retained to deliver a second, and possibly a third volume.

wow! that is quite the list of artists! I'm sure the artwork from those artists will make it a fantastic book!
Thanks for the great work Lenny! Wonderful to have a view of the artists based in, or well-connected to, Washington. A labor of love, I know. --Martin
surprised that, for a book on DC artists, you left out Alex Mayer amayerart.com and Sam Gilliam.
Brilliant idea! I can't wait to get a copy of this book and read about these great local talents!
Thanks!

In ref. to "leaving out" - read my comments again! ... the "two artists" blah, blah, blah...
Actually "three artists" - I had forgotten another major DC area artist who declined to be in the book.
Looks like I should have read the post before the list... Sam... no kidding (and maybe no surprise).
I am fortunate to own work by 10% of the artists on the list....not bad! That doesn't mean that i don't WANT more from other artists, though. I need to gain a couple more clients so I can keep adding to the collection! thank you for this list, Lenny. Looking forward to the book.
I would like to suggest sculptor Sarah Wegner for the Next 100.
Frank Warren? I thought this was a list of visual artists, not writers...
*Wow Lenny* This is an impressive undertaking. Thank you for doing this. I can't wait to see the art!
