A BENEFIT EXHIBITION OF NEW WORKS BY GALLERY ARTISTS MADE IN RESPONSE TO THE EVENTS OF SEPTEMBER 11TH & I LOVE NEW YORK ART BENEFIT

ALL PROCEEDS DONATED TO THE ROBIN HOOD RELIEF FUND FOR FAMILIES OF THE VICTIMS OF THE WORLD TRADE CENTER TRAGEDY

During October and November, the George Adams Gallery will present two benefit exhibitions.

The Gallery will feature ARTISTS RESPOND, an exhibition of new paintings, drawings and sculpture by gallery artists in response to the events of September 11th. Although each work is a reflection on those events, the artists have addressed the tragedy obliquely. Works with images most specific to the events are Peter Saul’s drawing of a female skyscraper swatting a plane from the sky, and Jack Beal’s mural study which includes the image of three firemen. Other works in the exhibition include Andrew Lenaghan’s “Corner of Eldridge and Grand Streets After the Storm,” a somber view of the Manhattan skyline with the Empire State Building in the far distance, James McGarrell’s twilight landscape Headlights, Lesley Dill’s paper sculpture Fragile, and Jose Bedia’s canvas Alone I Carry On. Also in the exhibition are new paintings and drawings by James Barsness, Enrique Chagoya, Valerie Demianchuk, Diane Edison, and China Marks.

15% of the proceeds from the sale of these works will be donated to the Robin Hood Relief Fund.
