November 1986 - January 1987 

A very special cross section of prominent contemporary artists offered a fresh view of a subject - 'memento mori' - that has, from the beginning of created art, absorbed man at his most humble and most transcendent. The artists that were on display come to terms with death - both real and figurative - in a genuinely contemplative and spiritual manner. By presenting them in a historical context, MOMENTO MORI highlighted their individual gifts and, at the same time, offered an overview that was reflective, disturbing, and, in its implications for us all, inescapable.
