A LIFE Well-Traveled
January 26 through March 8, 2008
Grand Opening of our new location, featuring:
MARGI SCHARFF
Opening reception: SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 2008; 6-10PM
OVERTONES gallery is pleased to open its new location with a retrospective exhibition of Margi Scharff’s work entitled “A Life Well-Traveled”. The exhibition tracks the life and work of the artist, who lost her battle to ovarian cancer in July 2007.
Margi Scharff was a mixed-media artist who has worked in a wide
range of both traditional and non-traditional materials in installation,
drawing, photography, sculpture, assemblage and collage. “A Life
Well-Traveled” chronicles her journey from her installations of
the early 90s, sculptures from the mid-90s, to her very last pieces
created towards the end of her life.
Margi Scharff gained prominence with her jewel-like collages, which
she assembled on the road, while traveling from Mexico to India,
Nepal, Thailand, Burma, Laos, Cambodia, Bangladesh, China, Hong
Kong, Malaysia and Taiwan. She collected found materials, traveling
on a ten-dollar-a-day budget, creating and exhibiting her collages
along the way.
In commemoration of Margi Scharff’s art and life, OVERTONES gallery
has published a book of her art and writing from her journeys in
India. The book, entitled “Margi Scharff: On India Time,” will premiere
at the opening of Scharff’s exhibit.
Margi Scharff was a recepient of the Pollock-Krasner Grant that
helped her win her first battle against 4th stage ovarian cancer
in 2006. Her art is in numerous public and private collections and
has been exhibited internationally. Margi Scharff’s art estate is
represented by OVERTONES gallery.OVERTONES is a contemporary Los
Angeles art gallery with an exhibition programme that strives to
intertwine beauty and social action, and reach out beyond the confines
of established art-world structures in an effort to engage a wide
range of audiences.
