Barrister's is especially proud that the assemblage show was rated the 8th best show of 10 for the year 2000. The following comments by Douglas Maccash appeared in The Times Picayune. (Dec 29, 2000)
"Photoanatomic," an exhibit of images from the collection of the Mutter medical museum in Philadelphia, closes tomorrow at Barrister's Gallery. ...and several other nationally known photographers transformed the skulls, bottled specimens and plaster casts of disfigured body parts into improbably beautiful images. This was a breakout show for Barrister's, which began augmenting it's collection of ethnographic art, folk art and oddities with contemporary art exhibits in 1999.
An added highlight was the standing room only talk by Mutter director Gretchen Worden on opening night. Regardless of how exciting the art may be, the atmosphere in most commercial art galleries is more or less like a furniture showroom. Not Barrister's. Though it can sometimes be distracting, the endless collection of art and oddments at this off-the-beaten-path gallery puts every show in a vivid, earthy, and often perfectly appropriate context.
