Brown Bag Lunch Talks Return With Mimi Gross on Thursday and Stephen Haller on Friday

For the first time in 2011, this Year of the Rabbit and this decade, Molly Barnes has landed on the East Coast with a post-Valentine treat for art-loving New Yorkers - 2 more in her series of lunch talks with the most interesting personalities on the scene!

On Thursday, February 17th artist Mimi Gross, who also happens to be the daughter of sculptor Chaim Gross and the former wife and collaborator of Red Grooms, will talk with Molly about her life in art - for a taste, visit her wonderful blog....

Gallerist Stephen Haller is Molly’s guest on Friday the 18th for a conversation about his his friendship with Italian painter Giorgio Morandi. (You can read an interview on the subject on Joanne Mattera’s art blog.)

As always for a couple of decades, there is never a charge to attend, and even your lunch - home-made sandwich, cookie & fruit in a brown bag - is on the house. Arrive early to mingle and enjoy before the presentation begins at noon.
