On November 3, Jack Rutberg Fine Arts gallery in Los Angeles will present a book signing and guided discussion with Ariel Zuñiga, son and biographer of the major 20th century sculptor from Mexico, Francisco Zuñiga (1912-1998). Mr. Ariel Zuñiga will lead a guided tour of a major Zuñiga exhibition of sculpture and select works on paper currently on view at the Rutberg Gallery.
More than any sculptor of the 20th century, Zuñiga's monumental works celebrate life and its expression through the female form in his sculpture and drawings of Women--as matriarch or adolescent. This museum quality exhibition of works by Francisco Zuñiga is accompanied by the new publication of the authoritative book, "Francisco ZuÒiga, A Catalogue RaisonnÈ," documenting Zuñigaís complete body of work in sculpture, with essays written by Ariel Zuñiga and Francisco Zuñiga. This much anticipated and indispensable 640-page reference work, containing more than 1,100 illustrations, is available during the exhibition, which extends through December 1, 2001.
Presented with the support of the Consulate General of Mexico, Fundación Zuñiga Laborde, A.C., Aeromexpress Cargo, and Mexicana Airlines, this is the most ambitious exhibition of Zuñiga works in the United States in more than a decade and includes important large and small scale sculpture, drawings, and selected original graphic works on paper.
The book signing event and guided exhibition discussion will be held on Saturday, November 3, 2001, at 7:30 p.m., at Jack Rutberg Fine Arts Gallery, 357 N. La Brea Avenue, in Los Angeles. Regular gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday 10:00 - 6:00; Saturday 10:00 - 5:00. For additional information, phone (323) 938-5222.
