Internationally renowned artist Hernan Bas has graciously donated thirty new etchings to be sold on behalf of the Contemporary Arts Foundation. All proceeds will benefit the foundation and its exhibitions. Clearly his finest edition to date, A Brief Brush with a Thrush, depicts a recurring motif of Bas’; a young boy in the throes of discovery.

He has had solo exhibitions at the Brooklyn Museum of Art (2009), Rubell Family Collection, Miami (2007), The Moore Space, Miami (2004) and The Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami (2002).
