Tony Matelli in ‘Another Look at Detroit’ at Marlborough Gallery

‘Another Look at Detroit’ is one of the summer’s major exhibitions, showing at powerhouse galleries Marlborough Chelsea and Marianne Boesky Gallery, but it starts off with this initially underwhelming weed by New York sculptor Tony Matelli located near the entrance of Marlborough. Look closer, however, and this meticulously crafted, painted bronze plant becomes an object of wonder. (Through August 8th).

Tony Matelli, Weed #293, painted bronze, 11 x 9 x 13 inches, 2014.
