Original multimedia artwork by Duston Spear. Framed. With frame: 33.5″ x 25.5″
Duston Spear has been an exhibiting artist since 1982 with her first New York show at the Soho Center (an affiliate of the Aldrich Museum). That initial series, named ‘Who’s Afraid of Art History?’, sampled an Edgar Degas portrait of ‘The Bellelli Family’ with a combination of humor and homage. Spear cites being in the drum core of the Woman’s Action Coalition (WAC) in the early 90’s as the best time for girl painters; band practice was held in Phyllis Kind’s gallery, while her two daughters waited while doing their homework.
