Robert Mann Gallery’s ice-cream themed summer group show runs the gamut from glossy commercial images of fake ice cream to this gritty 1950s shot by Harold Feinstein of New York urchins enjoying a treat while Christ appears to ‘let the little children come to him’ in the background. (In ‘I Scream, You Scream’ at Robert Mann Gallery through August 18th).
Inspired by the modern glass wall grid of Mies van der Rohe’s 1951 Lake Shore Drive Apartments, Warsaw-based artist Monika Sosnowska’s ‘Tower’ reverses the aspiration and elegance of International Style. Sprawled on the ground an curling like a dying leaf, the massive steel structure is a blunt symbol of failed ideals. (At Hauser & Wirth Gallery in Chelesa through October 25th).
Monika Sosnowska, Tower, steel, paint, unique, 2014.
