Join us for a Silent Art Auction starting September 7th, at
7:30PM to benefit Swinging in the Shadows, a documentary film that
chronicles a vital period in California and San Francisco’s cultural
history. Donated paintings, collages, drawings, photographs, books and
catalogs will be on display in the gallery and available for silent
bidding throughout the following week.
Auction items include artwork from Hassel Smith, Frank
Lodell, Deborah Remington, George Herms, David Meltzer, Aggie Falk, Jack
Hirschman and others from the period. Also, for sale are photographs
of the California Beat Era by Charles Brittin, Gui (de Angulo) Mayo and
C. R. Snyder along with posters, books of poetry, and rare catalogs from
the Estate of Jay DeFeo. Proceeds from the auction will be used for
final post-production expenses; expected release of the film, Winter
2007.
Local Producer/Director Mary Kerr will be on hand Friday
evening, Sept. 7, to show work-in-progress scenes and discuss the period
along with other well-known ‘players’ from the 50s art scene.
