Do Art & Real Estate Intersect? You Bet, Right Here in Dallas -Dallas Art Fair

By Candy Evans / April 15, 2012 /

I was at the amazing Dallas Art Fair Patron party Thursday night, and while my mouth moved more than my eyes, talking to throngs of friends, one image caught my eye at the booth of Santa Monica dealer Peter Fetterman, Peter Fetterman Gallery.
