* Anouncement: "Art of Baseball" opens at the George Krevsky Gallery

April 30, 2008

From a GKG press release:

It wouldn’t be spring without baseball. Nor would it be spring without the annual “Art of Baseball” exhibition at the George Krevsky Gallery.

Now in its 11th year, the exhibit opens with a reception on Thursday, May 1st, and will be on view through Saturday, June 7th.

This year’s theme – Building a Team – refers not just to the coach’s task of choosing a roster to play the game, but also to the curator’s task of bringing together talented artists from all over the country who depict the game that obsesses fans of all ages. For five weeks the gallery’s walls will be densely hung with over 40 artworks by more than 25 artists; men and women who interpret Abner Doubleday’s invention through an artist’s eye.

“You can observe a lot by watching,” Yogi Berra said. You can also learn a lot about our national pastime by looking at the remarkable range of artworks that will be on view — from hyperrealism to folk art, from commentary on current issues confronting the game to unapologetic doses of pure nostalgia. “Building a Team” will be a visual delight for the baseball lover, the art lover, and the many people who love them both.
