Reception: December 13, 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.

HyperSonic Panoramic Dreamz navigates the blurred space between memory, familial histories, fantasies, politics, and the body.

Professor Emeritus Manny Farber exhibition An Up Beat Title

November 8, 2025 - January 3, 2026

Quint Gallery, La Jolla, CA

In addition to Farber’s well-known tabletop compositions, An Up Beat Title highlights a set of late drawings that revisited a style seen in his earlier drawings from the mid-70s. Farber’s late style, while in markmaking returns to a younger version of himself, in gesture appear quick and loose, perhaps even unfinished. These intimate paper works, inspired by Patricia’s gardens, stand as a tender closing chapter to his practice.
