Hannelore Baron in The Financial Times

Currently on view at Michael Rosenfeld Gallery, Hannelore Baron is featured this week in a thoughtful review by The Financial Times. Ariella Budick writes:

"Baron made these intimate collages for her own satisfaction, and they have not circulated widely in the decades since she died in 1987. Finally, though, a major crop  56 pieces in all  has surfaced at Michael Rosenfeld gallery in New York, offering a rare encounter with a refined, heartfelt and powerful body of work. Small, dense and simmering rather than explosive, these boxes and collages ask viewers for some of the methodical patience that fuelled her labour.
