TERUKO YOKOI (1924 – 2020), the distinguished Japanese-Swiss painter was featured with a late retrospective at the Kunstmuseum Bern (2020). The selection of works shown here revolve around her lifelong favorite motif, “I have known HINAGESHI, which is the Japanese name for field poppies, since the days of my childhood, and have always been attracted to its sound. The first time, when I saw them under the sky of Provence, I thought they were scarlet butterflies, playing cheerfully on the hillside, a hazy brown barley field, as their favorite playground . . . I also love the way they tuck and curl themselves up in the middle of the afternoon, and fall asleep swiftly far before the sun has set”.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
CAMERON (1922 - 1995)
Opening Saturday, September 5
We are presently preparing an exquisite collection of drawings by this West Coast Beat Generation artist, largely associated with the experimental 50s and 60s occult practices experienced in Pasadena, Joshua Tree, San Francisco, Santa Fe to San Miquel de Allende with David Alfaro Siqueiros and Leonora Carrington. Organized in collaboration with the Cameron-Parsons Foundation and Nicole Klagsbrun, she worked under the identity of the mononym “Cameron”, (Marjorie Elizabeth Cameron Parsons Kimmel). Her oeuvre was recently recognized by the MoCA Pacific Design Center, LA (2015) and the Drawing Center, New York (2023).

PAUL LAFFOLEY (1935 – 2015) “Time Phase X – Revisited”
Opening Saturday, October 24, 2026
In Laffoley’s cosmic historiography, Time Phase X denotes the final phase of Modernism. In the artist’s words, “Time Phase X began on September 11, 2001, and will continue for the next one hundred years. My term for this period is the Bauharoque. It combines the heroic Modernism of the German Bauhaus, with its aspiration toward a technological Utopia, and the exalted theatricality of the Italian Baroque, in which an exuberance of form and illusion serve to express the mystical union of art and life.”
Presented here will be four large scale works from the Estate selected from the period 1965 – 1975.
