GAVLAK is pleased to present Viola Frey: The Space Just Between: Sculpture and Works on Paper 1970 – 1989, a showcase of the astonishing range of an artist best known for her vibrant, monumental figures in clay. Frey’s solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1984 established her national reputation as an artist and activated a whirlwind of collectors eager to acquire her brilliant ceramic sentinels. This exhibition facilitates a broad view of Frey’s artistic output as a gesamtkunstwerk in which works on paper, both monumentally- and modestly-scaled ceramics, and a lesser known work in bronze are mutually informative of one another. This presentation marks GAVLAK’s first in a series of gallery exhibitions showcasing Frey’s extensive oeuvre. Viola Frey: The Space Just Between: Sculpture and Works on Paper 1970 – 1989 opens on March 24th and will be on view through April 18th.
