June 6 Eastside Art Openings

All the Eastside events are at http://firstfridaypdx.org/ and their socials which list many shows and their times.


The big one tonight and to visit and throughout the show on their up time is the Lobby at Ellen Browning.

POV opens tonight. It is a selection from a noted private collection. It is focused on women artists including Lynda Benglis, Carmen Herrera, Jenny Holzer, Simone Leigh, Rebecca Manson, Wendy Red Star, Deborah Roberts, Joan Snyder, Sarah Sze, and Emmi Whitehorse. I have been a fan of Sarah Sze but I think her only work seen in person was at the Seattle art museum. The Lumber Room is another serious collector of women artists.

The opening includes a video of an interview with Carmen Herrara. She gained fame late in life with her 100 year respective at the Whitney.

More Carmen: from the Mori Art Museum https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usKCWN5qFFU and from CBS https://www.cbsnews.com/video/101-year-old-artist-carmen-herrera-seeks-order-in-work/.

Herrara passed on at age 106 in 2022. Artist Herrara broke the 7 figure mark at auction last month, oh for droit de suite.
