Lenny Kislin has been selling unusual antiques since 1973. In the course of hunting for interesting objects to sell, he came across many pieces which he bought and put aside for the future. Kislin saved these objects through the years with the intent of eventually finding a way to enable others to see what he saw in them. In 1991, he began to physically join these forms-+ into conceptual and narrative art pieces that he felt utilized those objects to their best advantages. What you see in his pieces is the fruit of his passion for these here-to-fore under-appreciated objects.

Kislin is enthralled by the textures, surfaces, and colors of old things, using their rarity, concepts, and forms in an abstract way that captures time itself. After being noticed at a New York City Art Show, he has sold more than one hundred pieces to the Smith & Wollensky Restaurants across the country. Gloria Vanderbilt purchased his art for her personal collection as did the Museum of Contemporary Art of Hawaii. Kislin has received innumerable "Best in Show" awards from respected art organizations and was chairman of the Woodstock Artists Association from 1996 to 2002. He's curated over 75 art shows in the Ulster County area of New York and continues to display his work is in many public and private collections world-wide.
