Whistler’s Venice Pastels. To celebrate the 140th anniversary of their first being shown in London in 1879, the artist Jim Fischer has reproduced in original pastel on brown paper all 60 of Whistler’s Venice pastels. The originals are now scattered throughout the world and, because of their delicate nature, most are kept in controlled environment vaults. Many are in very poor condition. These reproductions give the viewer a chance to experience these masterpieces in their original, pristine condition as displayed by Whistler 140 years ago. Fischer's works were displayed in March 2019 at the Casa Columbo gallery in Jersey City. They are for sale individually and available for exhibition as a collection upon request.
