Installing Eric Fischl Show at Westport Arts Center

Installation of the new Westport Arts Center exhibition of photographs and paintings by the renowned artist Eric Fischl was completed today. The show, curated by WAC Artistic Drector Helen Klisser During (l), opens Friday, July 10 with a 6 to 8 p.m. reception. Fischl is considered one of the most influential figurative painters of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The showcased works are a unique aggregation of his early photographs and paintings from 1982-2008, representing his distinct figurative style. The exhibited works come from the Hall Collection and the Eric Fischl Studio and are a rare opportunity to see the works outside of these collections. The exhibit runs through Sept. 5.
