The Philara Collection will present two internationally renowned artists in the exhibition See Yourself As Lovers See You, with works by William N. Copley and Dorothy Iannone. For the first time, the works of the two artists, who exhibited in 1993 under the title BERLINER AMERIKANER at the Haus am Lützowplatz, Berlin, will be shown in juxtaposition. The exhibition focuses on freedom, self-determination, and the ecstasy of physical love; it highlights the interconnections and differences in the work of both artists, Americans whose careers developed in Europe and who continued to produce remarkably comprehensive bodies of work right up to the end of their lives.
