Despite several international art fairs and bewilderingly ambitious exhibitions in New York this past week, the most beautiful exhibition is undoubtedly at Nicole Klagsbrun, Inc.
Marjorie Cameron was a truth seeker and witch based in California. She was married to rocket scientist and occultist Jack Parsons, as well as after his unfortunate demise, was involved with the father of psychedelic art Burt Shonberg.
Nicole Klagsbrun’s website described the following..
The expansive art of Cameron (1922-1995) returns to New York for a solo exhibition with Nicole Klagsbrun, who organized the artist’s first solo exhibition in the city in 2007. This exhibition is an opportunity to rediscover an artist whose life and practice have long captivated those seeking to understand the intersections of surrealism, ritual, and representation.
After serving in the U.S. Navy as a cartographer, Cameron became a central figure in both the Los Angeles art scene and the world of occultism. She starred in Kenneth Anger’s Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome (1954) and collaborated with the artists and poets she mentored, including Wallace Berman and George Herms. This exhibition showcases the breadth of Cameron’s output, from spellbinding abstract drawings to high-contrast graphic figures. Cameron blurs the lines between the mystical and artistic, drawing viewers into a world where dreamlike scenes and esoteric themes reign supreme.”
for a more detailed insight into Marjorie Cameron’s life and art, it is highly recommended to immerse yourself in Spencer Kansa’s magnificent biography
The MONA LISA of esoteric art, THE QUEEN Majorie Cameron’s self-portrait, The Black Egg, was placed at the center of an altar during Cameron’s 1995 memorial service. It was the best exhibition I’ve seen in months, by orders of magnitude.

Was there a catalog created for this exhibition, like there was with the one years ago?
