Siri Berg (1921-2020): announcing new website!

Jason Andrew writes:
"I had the great opportunity of meeting Siri on the occasion of her historic survey at the Shirley Fiterman Art Center in 2016. Previous to this, I was aware of her now legendary obsession with color. In the great tradition of geometric abstraction, Siri's work is noted for its purity as color became her calling card. Color and texture gave way to personal stories told through an embracing of total abstraction. Inspired by the theories put forward by Johannes Itten and Josef Albers, Siri took hold of their statements turning out her own theories ranging from bold and fast-forward to subdued and slow in motion."
