JAY DUNITZ: PACIFIC LIGHT
(California, Contemporary, Color)
For many years (approximately 10), Jay would send the us announcements to his exhibitions. When his book "Pacific Light" was released he once again sent an announcement, I recognized the his work and decided to visit a local bookstore to the book. It was a spectacular book and I decided it was time to exhibit his work. Fortunately, I kept his announcements and I was able to contact him and set up the show. It was a beautiful exhibition of large Cibachrome prints and as a special event he lectured and demonstrated how he goes about creating his artwork.
