Tobi Kahn exhibit in Rumson

"UJAR" (variation)

'Tobi Kahn: Metamorphoses Revisited," an exhibition of paintings, works on paper and small-scale sculptural shrines from the 1980s by the internationally acclaimed painter and sculptor, is at Beauregard Fine Art in Rumson.

The exhibition comprises works from the period of "Tobi Kahn: Metamorphoses," the museum exhibition that traveled to eight museums from 1997 through 1999. The Metamorphoses-period work has not been available commercially since then.

Kahn's paintings are characterized by their powerful abstraction, their evocation of memory and dream, and their uneasy solitude. His sculptures, from the acclaimed shrine series, are devotional objects consisting of an architectural form surrounding a totemic image.

New York City resident Kahn's work has been shown in more than 50 solo exhibitions and over 70 museum and group shows since he was selected as one of nine artists in the 1985 Guggenheim Museum exhibition "New Horizons in American Art."

Beauregard Fine Art is located at 109 East River Road, where the exhibit will run through Saturday, Nov. 4. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., or by appointment. For more information, call (732) 450-0994 or visit www.beauregardfineart.com.
