_______________________________________________ Oblon, Spivak, McClelland, Maier & Neustadt, P.C. knows invention when they see it. As one of the world's premiere intellectual property law firms, thousands of creative concepts gain recognition and permanence in the world's eyes through the efforts of the firm's attorneys. So it was with these ideas in mind that the firm began discussions with Artists Circle Fine Art to formulate an art collection to be housed in Oblon Spivak's new headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia.
Perhaps the most intriguing piece Artists Circle Fine Art commissioned for the firm was created by Dennis Evans, in response to the rhythmic vitrines strategically placed opposite the receptionist by design firm SKB. The cases, "pillar-like sentinels of knowledge" as the artists saw them; address the sciences of Biology, Chemistry, Astronomy and Physics. Festooned with beakers, tensions pulleys and antique scientific instruments, the artist felt "that since the human hand first grasped a tool, driven by a solely sentient passion to firm a malleable material into a pleasing object, the worlds of science and creativity have been bound." |

The collection centered its focus on "The Inventive Nature." Artists were chosen for inclusion because of their exploration and inventiveness in seeking novel and at times surprising materials and process. Seminal, ago-old methods such as marble carving, encaustic painting and hand jacquard weaving throw down the gauntlet against the upstart methods of xerography and slashed silk.
