Robert Rauschenberg exhibition poster from Linda Farris Gallery in Seattle, circa 1978. The poster is presented in a glass frameless clip frame, ready to hang.
From Linda Farris's obituary:
As an art dealer from 1970 to 1995, she was largely responsible for turning Pioneer Square into Seattle's contemporary art center. After she closed the gallery that bore her name, she went on to assemble an international collection of the work of young artists through what she called the Contemporary Art Project.
In 2001, Farris and members of CAP donated the paintings, photography and video to the Seattle Art Museum. Lisa Corrin, SAM's deputy director and contemporary art curator, said CAP revolutionized the museum's contemporary holdings.
"Linda was one of the most significant shaping forces for contemporary art in the history of Seattle," she said. "She nurtured artists and nurtured public appreciation for their work. Her gallery was not just an exhibition space but also a site of a dynamic dialogue about art that brought people together. The Contemporary Art Project characterized the imagination and flair she brought to everything she did and is one of her great legacies."
Besides featuring Northwest artists, Farris provided the first Northwest exhibitions for Louise Nevelson in 1977 and Robert Rauschenberg in 1978. less
