Over the Sofa at Carter Burden Gallery

Continuing through April 19, 2023.

We have all heard stories of people who buy artwork that goes with their furniture. Over the Sofa was developed to turn that idea on its head by first having the curator select the artworks, then paint the outline of varying sofas and armchairs directly on the gallery walls and under or next to the pieces as if they were hanging in your living room.

Included in the show is Brooklyn artist Syma, who added the 24k gold leaf to her ceramic sculpture after waiting nearly 50 years to know how to revisit and re-birth her sculpture meant to celebrate the many forms of love.

Over the Sofa features sculptures by Elisabeth Jacobsen, Bernice Sokol Kramer, Kate Missett, and Syma. Paintings and prints are by Karin Bruckner, Stephen Cimini, Reidunn Frass, Sylvia Harnick, Vicki Khuzami, Candy Le Suer, Mitchell Lewis, Susan Lisbin, Carol Massa, Sumayyah Samaha, and Gail Winbury.

A second show there, On the Wall features the installation “The Truth, The Whole Truth, and Nothing but The Truth” by Mitchell Lewis.

The exhibitions continue through April 19, 2023, at 548 West 28^th Street in New York City. The gallery hours are Tuesday – Friday, 11 a.m. – 5 p.m., Saturday 11 a.m. – 6 p.m.
