October 2011 - The Exchange Newsletter

Dear friends,

Did you know that most Abstract Expressionists began as Surrealists?  Michael Rosenfeld Gallery juxtaposes early works and later works by William Baziotes, Willem de Kooning, Adolph Gottlieb, and others, to demonstrate this point in the current exhibition: Evolution in Action (through October 29).

Our art tour this week, on Wednesday, October 5, will meet at Michael Rosenfeld Gallery, 24 West 57th Street at 1 pm.  We will then visit Francis Naumann Fine Arts to see the eccentric work of Beatrice Wood, as well as many other galleries in the 57th Street area.  I look forward to seeing you then. 

To make a reservation, please write to me at nyarts.exchange@verizon.net.
(If you have signed up for the series, there is no need to confirm.)

Also, please look for the list of October closings below the "Fall Art Tours."   It's a great fall season.
