    LYONS WIER GALLERY 542 West 24th Street New York NY 10011 Valeri Larko “Sign of the Times” March 26 – April 25, 2020 Lyons Wier Gallery 542 West 24th Street New York, NY 10011 Gallery Hours: Tues – Sat, 11am- 6pm [New York City] “Sign of the Times” takes its name from Valeri Larko’s intimate paintings of billboards in and around the Bronx, New York. The title also refers to the strange era of planetary and political upheaval in which we currently live. Holiday Motel, Bronx, Oil on linen, 36 x 30 in / 91 x 76 cm Larko’s newest paintings continue her exploration of the ordinary, often overlooked, environs of the outer boroughs of NYC, all of which she paints on location. Her work encourages the viewer to slow down and rediscover the world around them. In “Sign of the Times,” she focuses more sharply on signage and the odd juxtapositions that occur in the urban landscape. The artist’s fascination with billboards began during the financial crisis of 2008-2009 when she noticed the increasing appearance of blank billboards popping up in the Bronx and beyond. Since then, some of those billboards have remained blank while others have hawked both religious and anti-science messages as well as a plethora of advertisements for personal injury lawyers. Larko juxtaposes these often dire warnings with the recent proliferation of more inspirational signage. She also celebrates the emotional respite that blank billboards offer the viewer amongst the incessant din of 21st century messaging. Other paintings, like Hi-Five, are a remnant of a bygone America that’s quickly disappearing.

    The Historic New Bridge Landing State Park Commission Annual

    The Historic New Bridge Landing State Park Commission Annual Report for 2016 A young visitor peers into an open window to see what is happening at the Steuben House at Historic New Bridge Landing State Park, for Calico Frolic 2016. 1 Respectfully submitted to the Governor and Legislature of New Jersey December 2016 B. Spencer Newman’s painting depicts the darkest hour of the American Revolution, when General George Washington led the outnumbered Continental garrison of Fort Lee across the Hackensack River at New Bridge on November 20, 1776. Doubtful to the last moment, this crossing preserved American hopes in the face of invasion by an army of Europe’s finest troops. Eyewitness-to-history Thomas Paine stands in the left foreground. Literally occupying the Crossroads of the American Revolution, the Zabriskie- Steuben House—the only extant house along the route of the retreat in Bergen County—went on to survive more of the war than any other home in America. The State of NJ acquired this landmark dwelling in 1928 as a perpetual memorial to the “times that try men’s souls.” 2 Dear Governor Chris Christie and Legislators: Pursuant to our responsibilities under Public Law 2009, chapter 45, the Historic New Bridge Landing Park Commission submits this annual report for 2016. 2016 has been another banner year for Historic New Bridge Landing. The key to our success is consistently exciting and innovative programming that not only attracts new audiences, but repeat visitors as well. We succeed because we understand quality programming depends not only upon having an interesting and engaging story to tell, but also on coordinating the talents of highly motivated and well educated volunteers from a variety of professions, who generously share their enthusiasm with guests, and, most importantly, who create a pervasive culture of hospitality, respect for the lessons of our history and a commitment to stewardship over a significant American Revolutionary War battleground, which gave life to our nation.
