Artist of the Week 7 - Manuel Neri

Chained to the office for this episode of Artist of the Week, we headed into the recording studio where we conducted phone interviews with two Bay Area art professionals. The subject of the interviews was Benicia based artist Manuel Neri, whose sculpture Untitled (Kneeling Figure) recently came into the SJMA collection. First up, we interviewed art critic and San Francisco Institute of Art professor Mark Van Proyen, who has written a catalog essay for Neri's upcoming show at Hackett-Freedman Gallery in San Francisco. Then we turned to the co-owner of the Hackett-Freedman Gallery, Tracy Freedman, to shed some personal insight on the artist who the gallery has represented for 7 years now.
