Independent 20th Century announces their program for the upcoming art fair, set to launch in September, 2022 in NYC.  The fair's longtime curatorial advisor, Matthew Higgs, was interviewed by Artnet News and highlighted our gallery's upcomiong solo presentation with Joe Ray.  
“It’s an elastic idea of what constitutes the contemporary that’s very compelling,” Higgs continued, who believes this reconsideration of what makes the past began with Documenta 10 in 1997. “It was pivotal in introducing the idea of ‘retro-perspectives’ in place of retrospectives,” he said.

Higg is 'also excited for Diane Rosenstein’s solo presentation devoted to the Los Angeles-based artist Joe Ray (b. 1944). The African American artist began his career in the 1960s, after serving in the Vietnam War, and dove into the emergent Los Angeles art scene.'
