Donning regal vestments not dissimilar from the gallery's one-evening grand reopening exhibition, The Queen and I, is Pocket Utopia's first bona fide exhibition, Artists and Other Frenchmen, a gathering of cherished portrait prints culled from the history-steeped holdings of partner gallery C.G Boerner. As suggested by the show's title, truly royal visages such as those of Francois I, the French king and patron of Leonardo da Vinci, and Louis XIV will not be the only ones on display, for the physiognomies of a host of long-since vanished artists will also figure into the group. Of not minor note is that one of everyone's favorite proto-hipsters, Charles Baudelaire, will be among those gazing faces as well, in two early 20th-century engravings by Jacques Villon.
