We are celebrating the 100th birthday of Sonya Rapoport, who was born on October 6th, 1923 in Brookline, Massachusetts.
To mark this occasion, we have revamped our website to provide a thorough overview of the development of her work over the course of 67 years as a working artist. We are especially excited to reveal images from slides that haven’t been seen in decades, revealing the origins of the radical ideas in her more widely recognized work.
Please join us for a special online event: 5-6pm Pacific on Friday, October 6th, via Zoom. Contact us for a link!
Terri Cohn and Alla Efimova, co-authors of three volumes on Rapoport’s art, will share tidbits of the artist’s inner life gathered from the archives, and will give a brief performative reading in Rapoport’s own words.
SRLT Director Farley Gwazda will present selected images of Rapoport’s earliest paintings which tell the story of an artist who was always pushing boundaries and experimenting with materials.
We would be delighted to see you as part of the extended community of people who continue to enjoy and support Rapoport’s work.
