Action/Abstraction proposes a fresh look at the painting and sculpture that transformed the art world in the years following World War II—a period when abstraction emerged as a dominant means of artistic expression. Key works by such artists as Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Barnett Newman, Ad Reinhardt, Clyfford Still, David Smith, Helen Frankenthaler and Philip Guston represent a carefully chosen group of fifty examples from major institutions and collections throughout the U.S. and abroad. Against a background of Cold War politics, rising mass culture and growing consumerism, critic Harold Rosenberg championed the concept of action (the creative act of the artist) versus the ideal purity of a non-representational aesthetic defended by Clement Greenberg. Action/Abstraction re-examines how these critics' theories vied with each other and with the intentions of the artists—who nevertheless remained keenly aware of the critics' perspectives and were often influenced by them.

HOMES IN FORECLOSURE
It seems everyone is talking these days about foreclosures...
There are pockets, places such as Stockton, CA and Las Vegas, NV where the foreclosure rate is in excess of 4%, however, the national average is 1.033%. Considering the fact that 30% of all homes are actually free and clear of any mortgage, the true foreclosure rate is actually seven tenths of 1% of all homes.
So, 99% of all homes in the US are not facing foreclosure. There's a spin that is needed.
BREAKING NEWS....A REPORT OUT TODAY NOTES THAT MORE THAN 99% OF THE HOMES IN THE UNITED STATES ARE DOING JUST FINE FINANCIALLY...FULL REPORT AT 11.
Now, if you're in the market for a home, you'll see lots of foreclosure properties because most of them are for sale. They make up a decent percentage of the "For Sale" market, but not of the total homes in the country.
Let's get the facts straight -- it's not as bad as the media would have you think. And, by the way, did you know you can still buy a home with 3% down, 30-year fixed rate mortgage, 6.0% interest rate?
Whatever your real estate needs may be we arm you with knowledge & give you the benefit of our exceptional service, experience & expertise to get you into your dream home!

A Few testimonials:
_________________________________________________________________
Pamela was helpful, knowledgeable and overall a great agent to work with. She provided excellent customer service, helping us close on a short-sale house in an unheard-of 30 days. She promptly responded to our voice and e-mail messages and was available whenever we had questions, even if it was 9 p.m. (or later). Because we were purchasing a short sale, we had more paperwork than normal to sign and discuss, and she spent several evenings with us, explaining the details and helping us avoid legal traps. She was also extremely helpful with our two young children, bringing them thoughtful gifts and offering to watch them play in the backyards of the houses we were looking at. We always felt she had our best interests at heart and are grateful for her assistance in making our new home (which we love!) possible.
---Christy and Paul

You are an amazing asset to the real estate profession. Thank you for all your hard work and amazing knowledge and patience.----John

Pamela Williamson represented us in the sale of our previous residence at #1 Kabul Court in St.Charles. She was very professional, dedicated, and innovative in her persuit of clients. She suceeded in selling our property when previous realtors were unable to do so. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking an agent or representative.
Yours truly,
Richard & Carol

My experience with Pamela Williamson in the sale of my home was exceptional. Not only was Pam very helpful in the actual selling process she also took her customer service level that extra step - mentoring and providing me with information that I needed to get my house sold. She also staged my home and I am having her help me buy another house right now!
I would certainly recommend Pam to my friends and colleagues.
