Anna Booth and Nancy Cohen at Accola Griefen Gallery

Out of a collaborative residency at Corning Museum of Glass and a joint interest in Buddhist Thangkas, glass artists Anna Booth & Nancy Cohen created ‘Between Seeing and Knowing,’ a wall installation made of glass that evokes the forms of composition of a painting. (At Chelsea’s Accola Griefen Gallery through Oct 12th).

Judith Schaechter at Claire Oliver Gallery

For a commission at the Eastern State Penitentiary, now a Philadelphia-area museum, renowned glass artist Judith Schaechter showed excess and austerity at battle in a gloriously colorful, somewhat comic update of Pieter Breughal’s 1559 painting ‘The Battle of Carnival and Lent.’  (At Claire Oliver Gallery in Chelsea, through July 6th).
