Richmond, VA.- The Anderson Gallery at the Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts presents “Knock, Knock! From the Collection of Paul and Sara Monroe”. This exhibition includes work by 34 contemporary artists. The variety of artistic approaches to the human presence included in “Knock, Knock!” reflects the diverse and eclectic nature of the Monroes’ collection, which they have amassed over the past two decades. Working closely with dealers in New York and Los Angeles, Paul Monroe acquires work through a process that balances considered research and intuitive response.  “With contemporary art,” he observes,  “it’s very difficult to know what will stand the test of time; there are really no right or wrong answers. I try to listen to other people’s opinions with an open mind and then decide what is meaningful to me, what I feel I will continue to respond to over time.”
