Ophir and Friends brilliantly reviewed by Luke Lym

Ophir and Friends brilliantly reviewed by Luke Lyman in the New Criterion (@newcriterion)!

“Instead of giving us dry, self-serious Surrealism, Agassi arranges these motifs to give us intimate, deliciously colored vignettes conveying both whimsy and mystery.” - Luke Lyman

"Ophir and Friends: a tribute to Ophir Agassi" remains on view in the Gallery through next Sunday, December 18.
