Words like “legend”, and “pioneer” have been easily attached to artist and gallerist Billy Hertz. A gallery operator for more than 30 years, Billy Hertz has evolved his semi-abstract landscapes to a pared down form and composition, allowing the balance of abstract and representational to exist with tension.

On November 1, he will open his latest solo exhibition at Moremen Gallery. Susan Moremen opened her gallery in 2017.
