Gallery founder and director Keith Bringe reflects, "This style of installation, where works are densely stacked, saw it's peak in the late 18th and early 19th century in European galleries and museums. It fell out of fashion and is especially anathematized in today's world of white cube shows. I believe there is something engaging in the format."
A highlight of the exhibition will be a historically important artwork featuring portraits of Greenwich Village bohemians. This newly rediscovered work by Oronzo Gasparo (1903–1969), is titled“The Village Vanguard” and is dated 1935. The gouache with ink on board features an extensive inscription and dedication to Onya La Tour.
The Village Vanguard jazz club continues in New York's Greenwich Village as an important cultural treasure. From it's opening in 1935 the venue hosted and supported the careers of musical legends including Lead Belly, Mary Lou Williams, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Sonny Rollins, Charles Mingus, Stan Getz and many more. Barbra Streisand famously returned to the Village Vanguard in 2009 to record an album stating, "this is the place where it all started".
Oronzo Gasparo's surrealist interior features famous characters from New York's Bohemian society of the 1930's including club founder Max Gordon and Joe Gould.
