I recently had the opportunity to visit Leslie Feely in NYC and see the current exhibition HANNELORE BARON: COLLAGES AND BOX CONSTRUCTIONS 1969-1985.
The show runs through July 16th and you should run to see it.
I will let the images and detail shots speak for themselves...

Thanks for showing this Seth. Here work is so special, every collage artist should see it!
I just found this youtube film about her work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOFfwGkymk0
Best, eric
I enjoyed looking at each one up close!
I will look into her work online this morning.
Thanks for sharing this inspiring work, Seth!
I've loved her work for years and this show is breathtaking... pieces I've never seen before...thank you.
Seriously fabulous
Thank you for this introduction. I'm sorry to say that I was not familiar with this artist. Her life story is overwhelming to me and her work is so intimate and honest. The authenticity of her self-expression is very apparent. The power of her work is a direct result of her mental turmoil (PTSD?) and cannot be duplicated. You are fortunate to live in a city where seeing original works such as these are possible. I so wish that I did too.
absolutely amazing, I have long loved her work... thank you...
Thank you for the inspiration artist!!!
Thanks for sharing this - I have always been a big fan of her work, but haven't seen these before...
Thank you Seth, I have loved her for a long time, one of my favorites. xoxo
I would run to see it, but wouldn't get there before it closed. Thanks for sharing Seth...absolutely awesome work.
Hannelore Baron has been one of my favorite artists for a long time! Thanks for sharing this....would love to see that show, but alas....won't be able to.
Thank you so much for this post, Seth.
I never knew this artist.
So beautiful and intimate.
Thanks so much Seth for letting folks know about this show. I'm the artist's son. Many of the collages in the show are works my mother hid when dealers came, her favorites (she had a hard time saying no, easier to hide them). I did the same for almost 30 years, but it made me sad that they hadn't been seen, so here they are. I finally made a website http://hannelorebaron.net/, and they'll be several of her boxes in a show at the New Museum this summer, called "The Keeper."
Thanks again,
Mark Baron
Thanks so much Seth, I love them all! So great to see what I wouldn't get to see! ;o)
If you get a chance check out some of the work from the "Made in California" show on my 5/21/2016 blog. http://jackilong.blogspot.com/2016/05/day-1395-its-field-trip-people.html
I just read Mark Baron's comment, and went to Hannelore's website, and read her moving biography.
Just an aside... It mentioned that she had an exhibition in 1969 with her friend, abstract painter, Alvin Most.
Al was a friend of mine, too. He taught art at a wonderful summer program for children for many years, and I was his assistant for 7 years, starting in 1973. We remained in contact till he died, a number of years ago.
I still remember some quotes that he had on the art room wall:
Fill a space in a beautiful way. - Georgia O'Keefe.
Adopt the pace of nature. Her secret is patience. Emerson.
What an awesome exhibit to see in person-thanks for sharing with us. Have heard of her, but never read her story until now~
Someday hope to see some of her work in person.
Heart racing art!
Still find these collages so beautiful and moving.
I saw a Hannelore Baron exhibit in person several years ago and it had a very profound, moving emotional affect on me... I was mesmerized. Ever since then I show artists in all my workshops her 2 books I have of her work and talk about how unique, personal, moving her work is... a goal we should all have with our own work.
