SELECTED WORKS FROM THE GORDON & MARION SMITH COLLECTION

June 9-August 27, 2011

Please join us for the opening reception on June 8, 2011, 7pm-9pm

The lives of Gordon Smith, and his late wife Marion, were defined by
art. Both his own rich and varied artistic practice in which Marion was
always his first and most important critic but also by the great love of
looking that they both shared. Over a long lifetime they have both
collected and donated works of art by many other artists.  Their outlook
was always that of visual explorers and Gordon remains that as he
continues to collect today.

The selection of work included in this exhibition is a small sampling of
the rich visual banquet that animates the Smith residence.
