The work of New York-based artist and architecture critic Nancy Wolf concentrates on the urban landscape, juxtaposing styles of architecture to create fantastic cityscapes. "(T)hese cautionary critiques of...modernization combine Surrealist juxtaposition and Precisionist draftsmanship to unmask the struggles of a culture coming to grips with itself." (Sydney Lawrence, "Art in America", May 2008). Her work is represented in collections across the United States and abroad, including the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington DC.
Lots 1663-1666 are being sold to benefit the Greater Reston Arts Center (GRACE), a non-profit in Reston, VA. GRACE promotes interest in visual arts through education programs and exhibits of emerging and established artists. The following works, along with others, mostly by Washington artists, were donated to GRACE by Sallie Mae, Inc. and formed part of their corporate collection in their headquarters in Reston.
