olf Kahn has described the medium of pastel as “the dust on butterflies’wings; it is the milkiness of the haze over Venice or the velvet darkness of

a barn’s interior seen through open doors on a brilliant summer day.” Alsoas poignant are the words of another seminal and significant artist, William Blake,who so eloquently addressed the issue of scale when he penned “To see a World ina grain of sand, and a Heaven in a wild flower.” It is with great pride and honor thatwe present this exhibition of recent pastels and invite you, through these intimateworks on paper, to enter and see Wolf Kahn’s timeless world.
