Best (and least dusty!) booth at the brooklyn flea

John Murphy
shopjohnmurphy.com

Despite breathless coverage in New York and the Times, Brooklyn Flea, the weekly market in Fort Greene, turns out to be, well, a flea market. Don’t expect a transformative shopping experience. That being said, we love what Philly artist John Murphy is selling: color-saturated photos of archival pigment prints—birds, flowers, grass—set off in gloriously ornate and brightly hued, hand-crafted frames. Spend $150 on one of these suckers; leave the generic vintage duds to the sheep.
