‘DeGrazia: 100 Years, 100 Works’ - Tucson: A yearlong celebration to commemorate the centennial of renowned Arizona artist Ted DeGrazia opens with a reception on January 23, offering the first chance for most to see some of the original artwork that brought him international acclaim. According to curator Kristine Peashock, the exhibition includes 100 significant examples of the artist’s work. “It will be arranged chronologically and aims to show viewers the wide range of mediums and styles DeGrazia worked in throughout his extraordinary career.” She says old favorites that have sold thousands of reproductions are included, such as "Los Niños", the 1957 oil that was reproduced into a best-selling UNICEF card in 1960. "Alone" was painted in 1967 and DeGrazia declared it his all-time favorite work, significant considering he produced more than 15,000 originals. The exhibit and reception is at the DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun, Tucson, AZ. Read more about Ted DeGrazia.
