Through my previous stint as a contributing editor at SF Flavorpill, I’ve still been kept on the press mailing lists for a few local art galleries. While I can’t exactly offer the level of exposure that I could have before, I’m still happy to share the news about an upcoming remarkable exhibit of works by Remedios Varo at Frey Norris gallery (at its fairly new location on 161 Jessie St). This is the first exhibit of her work to take place in western United States. The show will include paintings, sketches, and various ephemera. Opening reception is January 19, 5-8pm, and the exhibit will run until February 25.

Frey Norris is one of my favorite art galleries in the city. Curators Raman Frey and Wendy Norris are young, highly enthusiastic, incredibly dedicated, and very welcoming and gracious towards gallery visitors. I had the rare pleasure of seeing some of appointment-only private collection stored in their offices a few years back, and it really was something that left me speechless, with pieces by Varo, Fini, Carrington, Ernst, and Tanning (among many others). They also have a great sense for highlighting emerging and mid-career artists.
