JANUARY 14, 2001

Salomon Grimberg, M.D
Jacques and Natasha Gelman Collection
Lecture and Tour  of the Gelman Show and Gerzso Exhibition

On January 14 at 12:30 p.m., Salomon Grimberg, M.D. will present a lecture, sponsored by the DSPP ARTS Committee, at the D.M.A.'s Horchow Auditorium on the Jacques and Natasha Gelman Collection currently on view at the Museum. The talk will be followed by a tour of the Gelman show and of the Gerzso exhibition currently in the Tower Gallery of the DMA. 

Dr. Grimberg, well-known psychiatrist and art curator/critic/broker, is member of DSPP and of the Arts Committee, as well as a past presenter at DSPP. His January talk addresses the Gelmans as collectors of Modern Mexican painting, and the works they acquired mostly from the artists themselves with whom they were friendly. The strength of the collection lies in works by Frida Kahlo, represented by 11 works, and Gunther Gerzso, by 40. Each of these groups of outstanding paintings forms a collection in itself. 

Other painters whose works are on view are Orozco, Romero, Tamayo and Diego Rivera. Not all of the collections' works are on view, only some of the highlights, those that are most popular. Grimberg, who curated the current Gerzso show and the past Kahlo exhibition at The Meadows Museum will speak primarily about these two painters. 

Dr. Grimberg has offered ample opportunity in the course of the gallery walk/talk following his lecture in the auditorium to chat with him informally. 

This event is sponsored by the DSPP Arts Committee and is open to all DSPP members and their guests. It is also open to non-DSPP members who are interested in art from a psychoanalytic perspective. Contact Judith Samson, Ph.D. at the number listed below if you have any questions.
