Larry Kagan's Steel and Shadow Sculptures at Louis K. Meisel Gallery
The Louis K. Meisel Gallery is showcasing "Larry Kagan: Men," a solo exhibition featuring the sculptor's groundbreaking pieces that merge steel, light, and shadow. With a background in engineering and guidance from Richard Stankiewicz, Kagan crafts abstract steel forms that cast intricate shadow images of familiar figures when lit from specific angles. In the 1980s, he transitioned from acrylics to metal. This exhibition will take place in New York City from May 9 to June 20, 2025, with an opening reception scheduled for May 9 from 1–3pm ET. Kagan's artwork is included in collections at The Jewish Museum and the Flint Institute of Arts.
