Description
60 Americans is a response to the ill-gotten gains of flipper-collectors, money corrupted and trend obsessed gallerists, shopping mall inspired art fairs, nepotism and favoritism of the made-men and women of privileged MFA programs in America. 60 Americans was a group exhibition that documented the alternative perspective on what's relevant and important in the current landscape of American contemporary art.

Reviews
"60 Americans is an anthology of the American condition, its collection of disparate identities serving as an example for what the entire world will eventually look like, if it hasn't happened already." - Jonathan Goodman
"60 Americans is an honest examination of the current climate of contemporary art from artists who live and work in America." - Terrence Sanders-Smith
"Diego Rivera was celebrated because of social realism. When Rockefeller invited him to do frescos at Rockefeller center and Diego depicted the Soviet Revolutionaries. Rockefeller had the frescos removed. Rockefeller stopped supporting the socio-politically charged Social Realism and started supporting Abstract Expressionism. Today the rich are still trying to find safe art to invest their money in. '60 Americans' is an exhibition featuring the dangerous images with a narrative that the wealthy attempt to avoid." - Sol Sax
"The basic premise is that real art and real artists can and should have the right to excel in a just society. Those real artists who take their work seriously and spend a lifetime working on their art become marginalized overnight through exhibitions dedicated to trends that revolve around this kind of shock and awe curating." - Noah Becker
