Helen Molesworth in conversation with David Pagel

Marc Selwyn Fine Art is pleased to present Jay DeFeo: Into Other Worlds, the gallery’s fourth exhibition of the legendary artist’s work. Known as a key figure in the Bay Area Beat Culture of the 1950’s and a pioneer in the Abstract Expressionist movement, DeFeo (1929-1989) continues to inspire generations of artists with her astonishingly diverse and innovative range of works. This exhibition explores a recurring and central theme in the artist’s oeuvre—the power of a work of art to function as a window or portal, transporting the viewer into the mystery of other worlds.

A conversation about the exhibition between curator Helen Molesworth and art critic David Pagel will take place in the gallery on February 5th at 4PM. RSVP is required to attend the event in person. If you are unable to attend, the conversation will be livestreamed on our Instagram account, @marcselwynfineart.
