Viola Frey | 1998

Essays by Reena Jana and Patterson Sims
Rena Bransten Gallery, San Francisco, CA

“A syncretist of diverse styles and media, Viola Frey manifests her complex vision in a dizzying conflux of media, references, and content, ranging from the primitive to the classical to the kitsch. She is at once the amalgamator and the innovator, an artist who has dared to experiment with and ultimately refine techniques and iconography that are decidedly and uniquely her own.” – Reena Jana

Artworks explored in this catalogue range from 1969 to 1981, and accompanied a show at Rena Bransten Gallery in 1998. Also included is a reprint of the essay by Patterson Sims from Frey’s 1984 solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art.
