Advance of the Rear Guard: Ceeje Gallery in the 1960s
ArtCenter Exhibitions is pleased to announce the first comprehensive survey of Ceeje Gallery, one of the most dynamically progressive galleries in 1960s Los Angeles.
Opening reception:
Thursday, October 5th, 5 – 8 p.m.
Ceeje Gallery was the dream-child of Cecil Hedrick and Jerry Jerome, a gay couple who in 1962 fell into the gallery business through interest in a group of young UCLA graduates that included Charles Garabedian, Eduardo Carrillo, Roberto Chavez and Louis Lunetta. Known for its inclusiveness, Ceeje represented artists from a variety of ethnicities and backgrounds. This exhibition of approximately 100 works by 33 artists fills a significant gap in knowledge about 1960s Los Angeles art.
Artists in the exhibition include:
- Sam Amato
- Les Biller
- Ray Brown
- Ed Carrillo
- Marcel Cavalla
- Roberto Chavez
- Bert Cohen
- Annita Delano
