Portable Art Project: Wearable Sculptures by 15 Artists at Hauser & Wirth New York
The 'Portable Art Project,' a group exhibition curated by Celia Forner, is currently on display at Hauser & Wirth New York, featuring wearable art such as jewelry and accessories by fifteen contemporary artists from around the globe. This exhibition is open from April 20 to June 17, 2017, at the gallery's 69th Street venue. Notable contributors include John Baldessari, Phyllida Barlow, and Subodh Gupta. The show begins with two striking bracelets by Louise Bourgeois, crafted in gold and silver plate, reminiscent of her larger aluminum works. Other highlights include Cristina Iglesias's armor-like aluminum pieces and Baldessari's surreal arm accessories, which include gold spikes and an enamel bird. Additionally, Matthew Day Jackson presents vanitas-themed pieces, while Andy Hope 1930 showcases minimalist yellow gold rings.
