Rotunda Gallery

FAIYA FREDMAN

Absurd Sleepy Ballet

July 14–September 3, 1994

Exhibition of drawings and artist’s book of the same title in the Rotunda. This exhibition of Mexican retablos featured selections from the permanent collection of The Mexican Museum, San Fran­cisco. This collection of exvotos, small votive paintings on tin-plated metal, and retablos, small saint paintings, reflects the historic fusion of the Old and New Worlds that comprised the heritage of Mexico’s Colonial period (1521–1810). The exhibi­tion also included retablos from private San Diego Collections.
