Bigger, Better, More: The Art of Viola Frey
August 20 – November 28, 2010
Co-organized by the Gardiner Museum, Toronto and the Racine Art Museum, Wisconsin.
Bigger, Better, More is the first major exhibition of ceramicist Viola Frey’s works since her death in 2004. Frey is most renowned for her large-scale monumental figures. In this show, the large colossal ceramic sculptures greet viewers head on with arms outstretched and looking directly into visitors’ eyes. Frey’s paintings, plates and drawings are also on view. Frey’s work is influenced by her family, especially her grandmothers and mother, artists Mark Rothko, Henri Matisse and Andy Warhol.
Admission is $7 for adults and $4 for children. Click here to buy tickets.
