Comment by AB: Group show of current art by Oaxaca artists in the tradition of Rufino Tamayo and Francisco Toledo... with ample surrealist overtones. They got a lot of talent down there. I'd definitely check this one out. Good show.

Comment by AB: Oceans of art on the block at this annual auction fundraiser to support the Hospitality House Community Arts Program including a number of significant works by significant artists-- something you don't see at fundraiser auctions all that often. If you're a collector looking for good buys, I'd put this one on the event calendar. Plus it's for a great cause.
