Winter Salon: Contemporary Drawings, Prints, Paintings, Sculpture & Photographs Historical Works on Paper

In honor of the gallery's 10th year anniversary, The Drawing Room presented Winter Salon: Contemporary drawings, prints, paintings, sculpture, photographs and historical works on paper. Works by 37 artists including John Alexander, Stephen Antonakos, Polly Apfelbaum, Antonio Asis, Alice Aycock, Jennifer Bartlett, Mary Ellen Bartley, Adam Bartos, Robert Dash, Linda Etcoff, Caio Fonseca, Carol Gove, Robert Harms, Sue Heatley, Loekie Heintzberger, Christopher Hewat, Christine Hiebert, Chuck Holtzman, Sharon Horvath, Robert Jakob, Mel Kendrick, Laurie Lambrecht, Rex Lau, Vincent Longo, Diane Mayo, Olivia Munroe, Adrian Nivola, Jean Pagliuso, Dan Rizzie, Clifford Ross, Toni Ross, Rolph Scarlett, Raja Ram Sharma, James Siena, Donald Sultan, Jane Wilson and Jack Youngerman were juxtaposed with 18th and 19th century European, Chinese and Indian drawings, plans, and studies. Originally serving a practical function, these historical sheets comprised natural history illustration, designs for the decorative arts, architectural and engineering plans, and plein air studies. The curatorial perspective of pairing traditional art forms on paper with contemporary artistic practice had been one that was central to the gallery’s program since its inception in 2004.
