Remembering Nowinski Gallery Artist Robert Helm
The Seattle Times reports the sad news that former Nowinski Gallery artist Robert Helm has died.
In Seattle, [Robert] Helm showed his work over the years at Linda Hodges Gallery, Greg Kucera, and the former Meyerson/Nowinski Gallery. A retrospective of Mr. Helm’s work traveled to the Tacoma Art Museum in the mid-1990s. He received a Governor’s Arts Award in 1992.
In a sea of artists eager to get their work exhibited as much as possible, [Robert] Helm stood out for his reticence. “As gallerists, we’d be so frustrated,” said Bruce, who worked for a time as director of Meyerson/Nowinski Gallery. “He’d let one or two paintings out every five years!”
