There are galleries to which the public goes, but artists do not; for their exhibitions have only a superficial resemblance to art. And there are a handful of galleries where artists almost outnumber the public. For the art shown, good or bad, is almost always courageous, adventurous and explorative, and so the artists come to see and appraise, scorn or admire what their comrades are doing. One such place is the Betty Parsons Gallery. This week, after a decade of her gallery, Parsons presents a group of painters and sculptors who are, members of her gallery. The emphasis is on abstraction--the most vigorous post-war movement in the U.S.
