Beijing Now: Oil Paintings by Twelve Chinese Artists



On February 9th, 2008 we attended the opening reception for this intriguing show at the First Street Gallery in Chelsea that Doretta Miller curated. Doretta Miller, John Reid, Pat Hilleren, Joosje Anderson-Boehm, and Bill Rooper went to dinner afterwards with John L Moore and Jane Farver. Last March, when Doretta and I were in Beijing, we visited some of these painters studios.
