Contemporary artist William Quigley was in Boston Friday evening, teaming up with Newbury Street’s Quidley and Company gallery for an event showcasing his work. Eight of Quigley’s abstract paintings — including portraits of Ted Williams, Nat King Cole, and Jack Johnson — were on display at the showing, which raised funds for The Price Center, which offers services and care for developmentally disabled adults in the Boston area. Quigley, 52, is no stranger to Boston.
