Personal art collections are always a form of self portraiture and this new exhibition, the Paula Tognarelli collection is no exception. It’s prodigious; about wonder, wit, moments, connections to individual artists, and they all have a dreamy and whimsical perspective. The romanticism of the collector shines through. The images also speak about the process of making art and the breadth or modes of expression in contemporary photography. The viewer will notice that there is an optimism throughout the compilation that makes spending time with these photographs delightful. It speaks to Tognarelli’s heart and eye.
We appreciate the opportunity to share this exhibit with you and our investigations into collectors and collections.
