20th Century Cincinnati Show






Hello friends.

We are busy at the studio preparing for the 20th Century Cincinnati show later this week. This year we are focusing on vintage Ford Times prints, many of which are new acquisitions and bear Charley's signature, Originals by both Charley and Edie, newly released lithographs and protective skins for your mobile devices. We'll be sure to take lots of pictures for our friends far away. Please check back to see pictures of the booth and if you have questions about a particular print, don't hesitate to contact us.

We are also excited to have been featured in this months edition of House Trends Magazine with a rare glimpse into Charley and Edie's 1958 mid-century modern home and art studio. I hope you get a sense of the magic that the "lady bug" house embodies. It truly is a wonderful place. You can view a digital edition here or of course grab a copy at newsstands around town.

CincinnatiModern

Atomic Ranch Magazine just paid a visit to Cincinnati, thanks to Susan and Arlen of CincinnatiModern.com. Read how it all went down and how their love of Charley Harper and the Charley Harper Art Studio's small feature in Atomic Ranch's Winter Issue sparked it all.

Susan and Arlen specialize in marketing and selling modern, contemporary and architecturally significant homes. Their main objective is to market these homes to that segment of the population who see the value in the architecture. Susan has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Dwell Magazine, Modernism Magazine, Cincinnati Magazine and the Cincinnati Enquirer. She has also appeared on HGTV Pro and HGTV's 'What You Get For the Money.' In 2008 she co-authored the book '50 from the 50's: Midcentury Architecture and Interiors in Cincinnati.' Arlen has 15 years of experience in the mortgage industry, 25 years sales experience, and is an experienced remodeler of midcentury homes.

They were cool to spread the word about the F Holes, who are a local Cincinnati musical group. Apparently, Tim, of the F Holes wrote a song about Charley called "Charley's Cardinal". Tres cool! We would like to hear this!

And for those visiting or even living in Cincinnati, check Space513, a fantastic interactive website of places and things to see and do in the Queen City. Kudos to the folks behind such a great design and interactivity.
