Opening of the Al Hansen exhibit at the Andrea Rosen Gallery.
From the exhibit flyer:
'The second subject explored is Hansen's fascination with the Venus. Early in his non-figurative pieces, references to women appear through the words included, she, her, clit, hers. This lifelong obsession soon becomes full-blown. Miss Stuff, 1967, Callipole Venus, 1968, Bambolina, 1994, Venus of Shop-Ritedorff, 1965, A T & T Venus, 1993 - Venus, Goddess, Mother, Lover...This long and continued relationship is fleshed out in many different forms and mediums including wrappers, cigarette butts, cigarette papers, matchsticks, and newspaper clippings.'
Update! My professor just informed me that Al Hansen is Beck's grandfather. I went to this art gallery random FYI, I just saw a lot of people with beer on the lower west side and invited myself.
