Robert Vickrey is a crucial figure in the mid-twentieth-century renaissance of egg tempera, one of the oldest, most versatile, and most durable painting mediums. This exhibition presents approximately 40 works from Vickrey's 60-year career as the living master of tempera painting. After studying with Kenneth Hayes Miller and Reginald Marsh at the Art Students League, Vickrey (born in New York City 1926- ) went on to Yale in the 1940s, where he learned egg tempera from Lewis E. York. This exhibition is organized with the assistance of Harmon-Meek Gallery, Naples, Florida. Accompanying the exhibition is the publication "Robert Vickrey: The Magic of Realism," published by Hudson Hills Press, a 224-page, 170-color-plate volume authored by Dr. Philip Eliasoph, professor of art history, Department of Visual and Performing Arts at Fairfield University, Fairfield, Connecticut.
