Norman Pate at SHOW Gallery

 So glad I saw the Norman Pate artwork at Show Gallery. Part of the Art By The Ferry weekend, it glowed among the other predictable exhibits. Show Gallery did a great job of installing the work with a wall of collage on wood and wood piece assemblages and a wall of paper works. Since Pate's death there have been so many shows and sales of his tremendous volume of work, it is hard to believe that at this point there are still gems available for sale. Having already collected many of Pate's works through the years I vowed not to purchase any here, but was sorely tempted, especially by this beautiful collage on wood. The color is exquisite.
