Gertrud Parker is known internationally for her sculptural work in the unusual material of gutskin. Her works have been collected in Germany, Austria and Japan, as well as by the New York Times, the Smithsonian, and the Oakland Museum. This retrospective of her career as an artist also highlights her work as an art collector. She and her husband Harold Parker have acquired one of the most notable Surrealist and craft art collections in the United States, work that frequently is reflective of Gertrud's activities as an artist.
