During the last few years the international movement termed Photo-Realism, The New Realism, Super-Realism, Super-Realism or Close Focus Realism has been developing with immense vigour. It has become one of the few major new movements in contemporary art that has developed simultaneously in numerous countries, thus making it a truly international style. It has and has set up a polarity in which contemporary art can be judged. On one side of the pole is conceptual art and related movements, a totally ephemeral, non image, radical departure from two and three dimensional movements. On the other side is realism, a radically conservative movement re-establishing the image as strongly as is possible on a two dimensional level.

The exhibition will include paintings and lithographs by artists such as Charles Bell, Arne Besser, Guy Johnson, Mel Ramos, Tom Palmore, John Rummelhof, C.J. Yao, Hilo Chen, Alex Siburney, Ted Wilbur, Morgan Wilbur and Harold Gregor.
