Sheila Metzner had an exhibit in Los Angeles (at the Fahey Klein Gallery
213-934-4243) a few years ago. The vast majority of prints were Fresson,
and they were a joy to see. They also had the "Color" book. Sadly I must
admit that the reproductions were very poor compared to the originals. If
you are ever in LA, drop by the Fahey Klein Gallery, they are very friendly
about taking work out of the "stacks" for visitors to see.
