Viola Frey: A Lasting Legacy | 2005

Essays by Kenneth R. Trapp and Ric Ambrose
Nancy Hoffman Gallery, New York

“The distillation of Frey’s life and art into a few pages will, of course, fall short of any expectations because of the complexities of the artist’s life and art. A keen observer of people and the world around her, Frey has been called a visual anthropologist and an urban archaeologist. Her phenomenally prolific career in painting, drawing, ceramics, bronze, glass, and photography does not fall easily into convenient categories or periods because she did not think or work in that manner…Indeed, each piece in this exhibition reiterates Frey’s fundamental preoccupation with the human figure and her habit of making references to other artists and art from other cultures and times.” – Kenneth R. Trapp

In addition to a catalogue checklist of this traveling exhibition, images of Frey working her studio as well as individual works in ceramic and glass from around 2004 are also included.
