Mary Frank's Sculptures at Steven Harvey Fine Art Projects
Mary Frank, in her early 90s, has a solo exhibition at Steven Harvey Fine Art Projects in Manhattan, focusing on her sculpture from 1958 to 1985. The show includes 11 works in wood, bronze, and ceramic, plus 5 works on paper. Curated by Steven Harvey, the exhibition highlights Frank's mythic female figures, such as 'Winged Woman' (1958) carved from a telephone pole. Frank studied dance with Martha Graham and has long been overlooked by New York museums, a neglect the article attributes to prejudice against her aesthetic independence. The exhibition runs through May 22, organized in collaboration with DC Moore Gallery.
