The Mayor Gallery, in admirative acknowledgement of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Surrealism (and the Surrealist Movement), will present a comprehensive exhibition entitled Homage to Surrealism: 1924 – Forever (All Media). This exhibition will put on display works covering almost every aspect of Surrealist creativity and adventure, culled from the combined worlds of art, writing (poetry and prose, political and cultural manifestoes, etc.), and ephemeral material of every sort. This exhibition is co-curated by the veteran expert of Surrealism from America, Timothy Baum.
