Join us in celebrating the wonderful Dorothea Tanning!

Immerse yourself in her exhibition 'Dorothea Tanning: Printmaker' at Farleys and find out more about the artist with a talk by Catriona Mcara.

Dorothea Tanning is known as one of the great Surrealists but few know the breadth of her talent, from painter, sculptor, writer to printmaker. 

Tanning did not subscribe to a specific genre but captured many and after learning her craft she created nearly 200 prints.

Farleys Gallery' Dorothea Tanning: Printmaker exhibition is a comprehensive show of Tanning's etchings and lithographs. All of which have
come directly from Dorothea Tanning’s Foundation – The Destina Foundation, which is based in New York. The exhibition would not be possible without its support.

Dr. Catriona McAra is a writer and research curator working internationally. She is a specialist in modern and contemporary art history, and a leading authority on the work of Dorothea Tanning and Leonora Carrington, with particular interests in revisionary historiography and feminist-surrealist legacies in early twenty-first century art and literary practices. Catriona is author of A Surrealist Stratigraphy of Dorothea Tanning’s Chasm (Routledge, 2017) and The Medium of Leonora Carrington (Manchester University Press, 2022)
