In the summer of 1999, I purchased from Joseph Barrett every painting he created, still remaining in his possession. In late 1999, our Lambertville gallery hosted the first of four consecutive catalog shows (1999-2003), each showcasing 65-75 never-before-offered works. 

Fast forward 20 years!

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of this purchase, I have unearthed, from our storage, 78 unseen works from circa 1970s-1990s -- the prime years of Joe Barrett's career. A 64 page full-color catalog illustrating each work accompanies this show.
