Our Autumn 2016 exhibition

Mixed media works created in a wide horizontal format during the 1960's-1970's. In 1965 a series of "friezes" began for me. Between sessions devoted to painting on big canvases I drew, generally with a soft lead, and very fast, my figures on long strips of elegant papers (chutes, scraps from the paper cutter). A simple exercise at first, it became over the years a continuing need....  -Dorothea Tanning, Hail, Delirium!, 1992 Please contact us for price and availability which are subject to change.
