Contours
Long-Sharp Gallery Project Space, New York
October 17, 2019 – January 24, 2020
Long-Sharp Gallery hosted an exhibition of nearly a dozen marble works created by sculptor Charlie Kaplan at its New York location. The exhibition, CONTOURS, celebrates the recent acquisition of Kaplan's Soaring (2018) by the William and Anita Newman Library at Baruch College, CUNY.
Following what has become the artist’s annual showing at the CIBART Festival in Northern Tuscany, Kaplan’s exhibition featured works ranging in artistic effect from the startling luminosity seen in Carrara Statuario marble (Unfolding, 2016) to the incomparable luster of noir belge (seen in Black Ghost, 2006).
A catalogue with essay by Sandra Kraskin accompanies the exhibition.
