We are saddened to learn about the passing of artist Fred Eversley. After studying at Carnegie Mellon University, he worked as an aerospace engineer until 1967 when he decided to focus on making art. Eversley was a member of the first generation of California Light and Space artists. We're proud to have his work, "Untitled," (pictured center) as part of our collection.
