Oversized furniture segments, huge matchsticks, nautical implements and memorials come to mind with LA artist Lisa Williamson’s tall, elegant ‘Long Dimension (Gates),’ a standout in Marianne Boesky Gallery’s summer group show. (In Chelsea through August 7th).

Lisa Williamson in ‘Autograft’ at Laurel Gitlen Gallery

1960s Minimalism, though influential, isn’t best remembered for its humor. LA-based sculptor Lisa Williamson injects lightheartedness into her stream-lined shapes, suggesting giant wall-mounted hairpins or attractively colored surgical tools. (At Laurel Gitlen Gallery on the Lower East Side through March 15th).
