From the gallery: “Gregory Corso has taken up brush as well as pen and his Thurberesque characters have delighted art and poetry enthusiasts for a decade. The Parchment Gallery is pleased to produce a portfolio of his Saturn Figures in celebration of his art and the achievement of the Voyager I exploration among the stars.”.
