This exhibition titled Two Cities at Rivers Edge London, England & Portsmouth, New Hampshire is but one of the several occasions where both artists have exhibited together. This is the first time that both Sidney Hurwitz and Don Gorvett have collaborated in Ogunquit, ME. While on sabbatical and living in London in 1973, Sidney traveled the River Thames documenting the numerous warehouses which were soon to be lost or converted. We have a rare opportunity to view industrial and urban architectural imagery along the Thames as a bygone era. During this time Mr. Hurwitz began to experiment with etching and aquatint. Based on the material Mr. Hurwitz gathered from his river travels on the Thames he created a series of ten etching/aquatints. Mr. Hurwitz is a Professor Emeritus at Boston University where he has taught for over thirty years. His work is part of numerous public collections both in America and abroad including the Museum of Modern Art, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Worcester Art Museum, Library of Congress Print Collection, the Boston Public Library Print Collection, Victoria and Albert Museum, the Krakow National Museum and the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston.
Don Gorvett is familiar to Massachusetts, Maine and New Hampshire audiences. He has lived and exhibited primarily in the cities of Gloucester, MA., Portsmouth, NH., and Ogunquit, ME. Mr. Gorvett’s interest is documenting the architecture and shipping activity of these seafaring towns primarily in the woodcut and drawing medium. 2016 is celebrating Gorvett’s 25 years of recording Portsmouth NH’s waterfront activity and will present a new reduction woodcut “Bow and Ceres, Bend in the River”. Both artists share a strong sense of drawing, design and documenting a sense of place. Mr. Gorvett’s work is part of numerous public collections including the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Worcester Art Museum, Peabody Essex Museum, Farnsworth Art Museum, Addison Gallery of American Art, Smith College Museum of Art, Duxbury Art Complex Museum, Boston Athenaeum, Ogunquit Museum of American Art, Currier Museum of Art, Cape Ann Museum and the Portland Museum of Art.
Please join us for the opening reception on Saturday, July 16th 4-7pm, upstairs at Don Gorvett’s Perkins Cove Gallery. Artist talk and light refreshments will be served overlooking Perkins Cove in Ogunquit Maine. For more information, please call Vivienne at 603.436.7278.
