A memorial event for Anya Tish, the Houston gallerist who died last month, will be held on Saturday, July 13, in Houston.
Ms. Tish was known throughout Houston and beyond for her eponymous gallery, which she opened in 1996. As Jessica Fuentes wrote in her obituary on Glasstire:
[Ms. Tish] showed works on paper, paintings, and sculptures by Texas artists, as well as works by artists from Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Russia. The gallery’s extensive collection of Eastern European artists set it apart from other galleries operating in Houston at the time.
If you would like more information about the memorial event, please email Anya Tish Gallery Director Dawn Ohmer at dawn@anyatishgallery.com. The gallery also notes that in lieu of flowers, “memorial contributions can be made in Anya’s memory to the MD Anderson Cancer Center.”
