Over dinner when Hugh Grant asked Phyllis Hutchinson Montrose why she thought there were so many extraordinary surrealist artists in Colorado, she replied, “Well Hugh! It’s the altitude; the thin air; the lack of oxygen. We’re all loopy.”
So what else could we do but title her exhibition, In Thin Air. Phyllis is certainly one of the greatest surrealist painters we have had in Colorado and consequently she has made contributions to American art. She is a Colorado native, born in 1928. Kirkland Museum is proud to mount a 54-year retrospective of her career, with paintings and prints from 1946 to 2000—with an accompanying catalog reproducing all the works in the exhibition and additional paintings that have been sold and are not available for display.
Exhibition May 03, 2013 - July 14, 2013
