The gallery inaugurates its new space across from the Transamerica building with a collection of Anne Buckwalter's gouaches depicting domestic space. For some reason the delicacy of floor, wallpaper, and fabric patterns generates a feeling of peace and intimacy into which female nudes up to all manner of frolic are sometimes introduced -- a little bit of bondage gear, the red hand print of a fresh slap. There is humor in the intricate detail. What do people do in the privacy of their own homes?
