HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HANS BELLMER!

Today marks the birthday of one of the gallery’s favorite artists, Hans Bellmer (13 March 1902 – 24 February 1975). He was a German Surrealist, widely known for his series of photographs of two adolescent female dolls, which he constructed himself, as well as his partnership with fellow artist Unica Zürn.
