Pittsburgh-based artist, poet and performer Vanessa German’s vibrant installations of photo and sculpture stand out around Rockefeller Center, luring viewers with their dramatic color and abundant detail. Initially puzzling for their lack of commercial message in an environment designed to sell, photos of fabulously dressed women and sculptures of German’s signature power figures convey feminine power. The Center’s shows and attractions have ground to a halt due to COVID-19, but German’s semi-divine, haloed figure remains. (On view in Midtown through April 5th. Organized by Art Production Fund).
