Waisler opening at Sundaram Tagore Gallery

Sundaram Tagore Gallery’s inaugural exhibition in Beverly Hills, “Lee Waisler: The Portraits,” opened on Saturday February 9, with a reception from 6 to 8:30p.m. Waisler, an L.A.-born artist, is noted by critics as “speaking to the soul of society.” Waisler describes his upcoming show of portraits as a humanistic look at some of the world’s most renowned and notable leaders.
Tagore said, “These are portraits of people who have defined the modern world and have expanded our view of life – they are historic and heroic figures such as Virginia Woolf, Freud, and Eleanor Roosevelt – these are people who have had a deep impact and have defined the modern world. They are symbolic of hope for the next century.”
Gallerist Sundaram Tagore said, “We are thrilled to be here. As one of the few New York galleries that has opened in L.A., we know that there is enormous interest as well as a discerning, international, and culturally sophisticated audience here. We are excited to share our artists’ work in this setting.”
