Pedro Reyes at Lisson Gallery

150 drawings of writers, artists, intellectuals and cultural leaders by Mexico City-based artist Pedro Reyes fill the expansive walls of Lisson Gallery’s 24th Street location.   These and large stone sculptures carved from Mexican volcanic stone are art as ‘sanctuary,’ explained Reyes in a recent interview, adding, “…These are the things we are fighting for.” (On view through April 15th).
