In conjunction with the exhibition Leonora Carrington: The Story of the Last Egg (May 23 — June 29, 2019, 926 Madison Avenue, New York), Gallery Wendi Norris presents a symposium on Carrington’s work and her influence in a contemporary context.
The final session, entitled, The Leonora Carrington Effect: What we can learn from Carrington Today, features a discussion on Carrington’s work and its influence in a contemporary context, led by Natasha Boas, a French-American independent curator, scholar and critic based in San Francisco and Paris. Trained at Yale University, Boas is a specialist in Surrealism and modernist aesthetics and is currently working as a curator to a private collection which focuses on Surrealist women artists and contemporary artists who were influenced by them.
