William Reaves Fine Art will present Discovery!, an exhibition series offering intriguing new visual opportunities which may just pose the perfect antidote for the “dog days” of Houston’s summer. In a series of one-woman shows, Discovery! introduces Houstonians (or reintroduces them, as the case may be) to a cache of compelling work by three accomplished Texas women, all of whom channeled considerable energies and talents into the creation of innovative art, and warrant renewed attention and broader recognition within the state’s collector community.
Discovery! shines long over-due light on the works of Constance Forsyth (1903-1987), Rita Blasser (1826-2014) and Karen Lastre. The exhibition celebrates these women and their work, and returns their material to the gallery scene after prolonged hiatuses, positioning the work for fresh examination. Making for some of the city’s most interesting summer viewing, Discovery!’s three-in-one format is certain to include works which will appeal to all, and qualifies as “required summer viewing” for all avid Texas art patrons.
Following the opening reception, the exhibits will be on display through August 8.
