Ralls Collection Marks 12th Anniversary with Special Show
Exhibition Will Feature Highlights from the Gallery's Collection
Washington, D.C. (September 27, 2003)-In celebration of its 12th anniversary The Ralls Collection will hold an exhibition of significant work displayed at the gallery during its 12 years in business. The show will include work from some of the gallery's most popular and prominent artist, including John Alexander, Tom Baril, William Dunlap, Caio Fonseca, Michael Kenna, Robert Rauschenberg, and Richard Serra. The exhibition will be open from October 2nd through November 1st.
Mr. Rauschenberg's inclusion is particularly notable, not only for his place in the pantheon of Important Artists, but as the subject of the gallery's 10th anniversary show and as a mentor and inspiration to gallery owner Marsha Ralls. Says Ralls "Working in Rauschenberg's studio as a recent graduate was a formative experience for me. He instilled a love and appreciation for art, and hard work, that still drives me today. I was so pleased he could be with us in 2001 for the opening of the gallery's 10th anniversary show that featured his own work from the previous 10 years."
