Viola Frey | 1994
Conversation between Rena Bransten and Viola Frey
Rena Bransten Gallery, San Francisco, CA
“With art and what is underneath all of it is the question of the artist’s hand and the mind. There is nothing (machine) manufactured about any of this. You once said you wanted to make a beautiful mark. As an artist I had the same inclinations. But to do it pound by pound, handful by handful, although it’s not on the horizon of critical thought, it’s really like there is nothing else that I’d rather do or could do.” – Viola Frey
Artworks explored in this catalogue include monumental figurative sculpture, figure groupings, and Frey’s largest work, The Decline and Fall of Western Civilization paired with pastel drawings on paper. This catalogue accompanied a show at Rena Bransten Gallery in 1994.
