At the Art Exhibit

I really wanted to see the new Exhibit at the art museum and invited Lucy to come along. We both like Contemporary art and this was an Exhibition for an artist that we’ve both liked, Ever since she was An up and coming artist 10 years ago. This was a Retrospective so there was going to be a lot of different types of Work by the artist. There would be some of the artist’s Paintings, her early work. There would also be some of her Sculptures. Her most recent work is Mixed media. This is very Versatile and that’s one of the reasons I like her work so much.

We were going to the Opening of the exhibition, with a Wine and cheese reception for the artist. When we arrived in the main Gallery, there were already a lot of people there. Looking around, I could see that some were artists themselves and some were Art critics. I’m sure there were Collectors there, too. I knew the Curator and looked around for him. I Spotted him talking with a group of people in the corner, probably trying to talk up the gallery and the artist. After a little while, the curator Said a few words and then introduced the artist. We got a chance to meet her briefly and she was very Gracious. I’m glad that someone with her Talent has Made it in the art world. That’s not easy to do. And, I think her best work is Still to come.
