IT FIGURES: Damon Lehrer and Rick Berry opens tomorrow, Sept. 9, 6-9pm William Scott Gallery, Boston.
Check gallery hours if you’ll be in Boston anytime between now and Halloween because immediately following IT FIGURES, Damon and Rick have work in (as well as curated) October’s group exhibition to open at William Scott Gallery on Oct 7th.
Rick’s previewing some work from his newest series at IT FIGURES, along with other great paintings. Amanda Palmer fans will be interested to see Rick’s 7ft portrait of her as gender bending MC in last summer’s A.R.T. production of Cabaret – On loan from collector. Hope you can stop by!

Sure wish I lived even remotely in the area to attend. I hope the opening is a great success (I’m sure it will be!). New paintings are riveting.
ps – small typo; today’s post says the show opens tomorrow OCTOBER 9th
looks like a terrific discourse on the abstraction vs. the narrative, the gestural verses the lyrical. very exciting.
Marlene, glad you think so and thanks for saying. …On October 9th we start our “NATIONAL FIGURES” show. The artists are picked from all over the country and from some very divergent traditions. One thing they all have in common is a record of knocking it out of the park. Some of the work is already coming in and is quite “wow!” – Best, Rick
