ARTISTS AND THEIR WORK

The Rehoboth Art League is pleased to introduce Artists and Their Work, discussions with exhibiting artists and/or curators of current exhibits at the League, to start in the 2008 season. Be sure to look for a list of participating artists and times in the Spring/Summer 2008 Newsletter where we will have more information on the exhibits.

CINEMA & ART

March 6,
7:00PM at The Inn at Canal Square, Lewes
Who the #$&% Is Jackson Pollock?
Who The #$&% Is Jackson Pollock? documents a 15-year war with the art world's inner circle, lifts the veil on how art is bought and sold in America, and introduces audiences to the funny, profane and utterly unforgettable Teri Horton. When the 73-year-old former long-haul truck driver with an eighth grade education bought a painting in a thrift shop for five dollars, she didn't know that it would pit her against the most powerful people in the art community. Forensics experts, art forgers, and top museum curators all weigh in with opinions on the authenticity of the painting, but a resolution to the mystery is yet to be reached. This battle between the hard-drinking, blue collar Horton and the privileged members of the elite art world could perhaps forever change the way art is authenticated around the world.
Reception with light refreshments begins at 6:30 p.m. followed by the film screening at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $10 each. SEATING IS LIMITED AND RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED. For reservations, call the RAL, 302.227.8408.
A special thanks to The INN at Canal Square for agreeing to be a regular host of the Cinema & Art series.
