Galleries; Volume 38, Number 2, October 2010
Takoma Park, MD: Galleries, 2010. Presumed First Edition, First printing this issue. Wraps. Format is approximately 5.5 inches by 8.24 inches. 32 pages, counting covers. Illustrations (some with color). This periodical was established in 1973 as a guide to Washington Baltimore metropolitan area art spaces. This periodical provides information about openings, the location of various galleries and art spaces by area within the region of interest. Maps are included. In addition to Baltimore, parts of northern Virginia are also covered. The cover features Rosemary Luckett's Lost, and ink and watercolor work on paper. Rosemary Luckett's mixed media drawings, collages, and sculptures reveal a lively interplay between real and surreal expression. Her works are metaphors for American culture and commerce and how they impact the natural world in unintended but negative ways. Each piece is built around a single real or symbolic object or group of items that seem unrelated to each other. But things are not always what they seem to be. Rosemary’s work points to the something invisible hiding in something more obviously visible, even ordinary. The fun for her is in trying out unusual combinations of forms and solving the puzzles she presents to herself and us. A resident of Prince William County in Virginia, she teaches collage and sculpture at the Art League School in Alexandria, and has over 37 years of studio experience in painting, collage, and sculpting. Touchstone Gallery at 901 New York Ave NW, Washington, DC represents her work in the DC Metro area. Ms. Luckett is just one of the many artist represented in this issue. This offers a snapshot in time of the area's 'Art Space' in 2010. Condition: Very good.
