Pictured above, Houston based artist Perry House In his studio, Second Ward, Houston TX, 2014. Perry House was a really great artist and a great friend to all that met him. I'm proud to say a friend of mine. We met in 1982 when I moved in across from the 11th Street Cafe at the corner of Studewood and 11th Street. Every morning Perry, Dick Wray, Lucas Johnson, Don Foster, and once a week Richard Stout taught me how to be a real artist, which they insisted meant drinking all the beer in Chet and Pat's 8 ft. beer cooler that ran behind the serving counter in the cafe. This went on for several years. Almost 30 years later I became his art dealer, one of the highlights in my days as a gallerist. As the days and years caught up with my friend, I wished I could have done more for him in the moment. As a gallery I was able to do an extensive 100 page catalog on Perry before he passed, and ARM will endeavor to publish a bigger full size color book about this great talent in 2028. Here are a few of the images from our archive on Perry House, his method, and his studio. - DM Allison
