Scott Richter's Tabletop Paintings at Elizabeth Harris Gallery Challenge Two-Dimensional Conventions

exhibition · 2026-04-23

From March 17 to April 16, 2005, Scott Richter presented work at New York's Elizabeth Harris Gallery located at 529 West 20th Street. Richter employs oil paint not for creating illusions of depth on flat surfaces but for constructing actual three-dimensional forms. His tabletop paintings require viewers to look down upon them or attempt to view them from multiple angles. The exhibition highlights Richter's distinctive approach to painting that moves beyond traditional two-dimensional representation. The gallery's contact number is 212-463-9666.
