A Free Gift!
Purchase any one of the Color Duets paintings before July 15, 2024, and we will include a free copy of the exhibition book – Color Duets – Kaffe Fassett | Erin Lee Gafill. I’ll even inscribe it to you or to the recipient of the gift if you choose to give it to someone else.
These still life paintings were painted over a twelve year collaboration with my uncle Kaffe Fassett. Each year we met up in Big Sur at my mother’s house in the woods, or at Kaffe’s studio in London, with only one thing on the agenda: to paint!
Many of these pieces were featured in our two-person exhibition at the Monterey Museum of Art and memorialized in our coffee table book, Color Duets – Kaffe Fassett | Erin Lee Gafill. Something I didn’t know at the time I was writing the book was that our annual retreat would be interrupted by the Global Pandemic of 2020, and that we would never make our way back to the painting room together again. This fact makes these works that much more special to me, truly makers of a glorious but finite chapter in our lives.
