An on-line news service devoted to museums and exhibitions in New York City and vicinity. John Hammond, Editor Emeritus • Jonathan Slaff, Publisher The Gallery Gazetteer by Rajdeep K Bhathal "Five Decades of Passion" is a multifaceted artwork exhibition being held at the Fisher Landau Center for the Art, located in Long Island City, Queens. "Five Decades of Passion" is divided into parts, each of which showcases a specific time frame during the period of collection. An affinity for animals is one of the themes Landau garners in "The Founding of the Center," as shown by the varied images of wildlife presented in this installment.

Several works feature prose as Landau is most intrigued by art and language and enjoys the ability of the artist to use text in an artistic form. Parts of Landau's collection attempt to challenge conventional manners of perception. Curator's Choice: Museums and Exhibitions in New York City and Vicinity.
