Josiah McElheny's 'Some Thoughts About the Abstract Body' at Andrea Rosen Gallery Explores Abstraction in Glass

From May 19 to June 30, 2012, 'Some thoughts about the abstract body' was showcased by Josiah McElheny at the Andrea Rosen Gallery in New York City. The exhibition included human-sized vitrines housing glass sculptures influenced by modernist figures such as Popova, Fontana, Schlemmer, Delaunay, Malevich, Rodchenko, and Vialov. Among the pieces was 'Models for an abstract body (after Delaunay and Malevich)' from 2012, featuring hand-blown glass shapes on steel bases. The show delved into abstraction in fashion, reimagining people as abstract forms. Additionally, McElheny produced life-size, mirrored wearable art. The gallery is situated at 525 West 24th Street, with a contact number of 212-627-6000.
