ABOUT THE GALLERY:
Since opening its doors in December 2001, the Hedi Khorsand Gallery has made good on its promise to bring under-recognized artists the public attention they deserve. In practice as an art consultant and private dealer since 1998, Khorsand wanted to give wider exposure to many talented artists she encountered in her work. Already the gallery has presented highly successful exhibitions of sculpture by actor Paul Sorvino and paintings by the late Paris based Polish artist Stanislaw Preysner. The paintings of Alejandro Ortiz Mexia will be featured in May and June and the gallery will continue to offer a wide range of painting, photography, works on paper and sculpture.
