Leo Amino at David Zwirner Gallery

Underappreciated despite showing at the Met and MoMA, the career of late 20th century cast resin pioneer and direct carving innovator Leo Amino is attracting new attention thanks to a handsome show at David Zwirner Gallery.  Fascinating as translucent objects, alluring for their bold colors, Amino’s block-like resin sculptures are a draw, along with a bird-like form crafted in wood and encased in resin and totemic carved wood forms.   (On view on 20th Street in Chelsea by appointment).
