Carolyn Farb Arts benefactor and native Houstonian Carolyn Farb has collaborated with the Deborah Colton Gallery to create the Colton & Farb Gallery. Carolyn’s personal collection mirrors her sense of adventure, combining an innate sense of beauty with a continually-evolving aesthetic. Her own collection ranges from Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema to Rene Magritte, David Forrester Wilson and the Warhol Factory-influenced artists to Texas’ own Robert Rauschenberg and Julian Schnabel. Frida Kahlo’s La Venadita (The Little Deer) travelled to museums across the globe with Carolyn. She brings her dynamic sense of aesthetic and commitment to excellence, reflected in her signature style, to her position as Creative Director for the Gallery. |
