Rex Ray with Paul Klee at SFMoMA
May 30, 2017
May 20–September 10, 2017
Floor 2
"This intimate exhibition places artworks by Swiss-born modernist Paul Klee (1879–1940) alongside dazzling paintings by San Francisco artist and designer Rex Ray (1956–2015). Although separated by both time and place, their works share stunning formal similarities, including an exploration of geometric forms, the use of vibrant color, and playful, organic designs. Among other works, the exhibition features a rarely exhibited, intimate pastel watercolor by Klee from 1917 and an eye-popping collage by Ray from 1999."
Tickets can be purchased through SFMoMA,

FINAL WEEK: GRABNER GINGHAM
October 22, 2016
Saturday, October 29th is the last day to see Grabner Gingham. These exquisite oil on burlap gingham paintings have a three-dimensional quality, with a heavy impasto strokes Grabner employs, you really must see them in person!
It's been such a pleasure hosting the artist's works these two months, we're sorry to see them go. However, for posterity, we're happy to share with you a video of an artist talk led by Griff Williams. Thanks very much to the artist and the patrons that have supported this exhibition.
