60th Anniversary Exhibition
Yares Art is pleased to present the Gallery鈥檚 60th anniversary exhibition memorializing its founder Riva Yares and her illustrious career that spanned over six decades. The history of modern and contemporary art is not only the story of artists, but also of visionary dealers who shaped its course. Riva Yares stands as a testament to this legacy. This exhibition features an acclaimed roster of fifty modern and contemporary artists whose works Yares exhibited and championed during her lifetime.
Underscoring Riva鈥檚 remarkable legacy, the renowned art critic and poet, Edward Lucie-Smith has written:
Her durable, long-standing commitment as an art dealer was derived from three unique personal qualities. First, she possessed great flair and financial shrewdness, and she supported the right artists at the right time. Second was the sheer force of her personality, something akin to a force of nature, fascinating, capricious, unpredictable 鈥� to borrow the apt phrase 鈥榓 whim of iron.鈥� Third, and perhaps most important, is the fact that she was in love with art. Loving art is rather different from liking art. It implies a hunger for visual sensations. For Riva, this hunger was linked to a finely tuned discrimination.
