(from Introduction "From the Organizers" David & Lee Ann Lester, pg. 9) A catalog for The Fall Fair of International Fine & Decorative Arts held at the Jacob J. Javitz Convention Center in Manhattan, NYC during September 18-23, 2002, organized by the noted Florida-based promoters David & Lee Ann Lester.

From the collection of Barbara (1935-2023) & Irving (1933-2018) Nusbaum, world travellers, connoisseurs, eminent collectors of art & books- the dearly beloved parents of this grieving writer. It was likely that my mother & father attended this great event, & certain that they interacted with some of the participants at their respective galleries. An exceptionally magnificent exhibition catalog for a well-known event which took place only a year following the 9/11 attacks in a recovering NYC, with distinguished provenance.
