Why… Yes It is A Move Show: Rich Jacobs With Some Friends is an iteration of Rich’s final exhibition, which includes the last body of work he created from his hospital bed, along with a. group show featuring some of his artist friends. It was exhibited at SWIM Gallery in San Francisco this past December, sadly just weeks after he passed away following a battle with leukemia. This exhibition at Halsey McKay includes Rich’s remaining works, along with many of the artists who participated in the friends portion of that show. Rich had expressed me his desire to have a show in New York next, after San Francisco. He really wanted everyone – his friends colleagues, supporters, admirers, and the general public in New York to have the opportunity to see this work; it was profoundly important to him.
