495.0. "Best Con Art Shows?" by AIAG::LUTZ () Thu Jun 25 1987 16:39

    Can anybody recommend which SF conventions have the best art shows?
    Since taste in art varies from person to person, "best" =>
    comprehensive, lots of artists, professionals are well represented.
    
    I attended the last Boskone and fell in love with several paintings,
    but I didn't want to spend money at the time.  I had planned to
    buy at Boskone in 1988, but it looks like I won't be going.
    (Invitation only, and I don't meet the criteria.)  Soooo, I'm
    collecting  suggestions for the best cons to look at.  Hopefully,
    ~northeast area, and being held on a weekend.
    
    Thanks in advance for your responses.

	One of the purveyors of fine art at con's in the northeast is MATRIX publications owned by Kennedy Poyser. (His wife, Victoria does some nice SF and fantasy art.) He's located in Danbury CT on Main street in a store called Courtyard Collectibles. He carries prints, signed & numbered prints and some original art. Prices are reasonable (I got a set of 8 signed and numbered Lela Dowling prints for $45, matted would be $65) George Herman
