Martha Erlebacher, Yoyoi Kusama and more

Now is a great time to check out art shows in NYC.  I got lots of recommendations, so here we go:

Martha Erlebacker Retrospective is still on display at New York Academy of Art until November 24th.  Martha Erlebecker was 'a contemporary master of representational art and a formidable educator'.  Her work inspired many generations of figurative artists, and the show is a must see!

Yoyoi Kusama is exhibiting at David Zwirner in Chelsea.  'The centerpiece is Kusama's newest mirrored infinity room [...] it features a shallow reflecting pool as it's floor and hundreds of multicolored LED lights.' There is a line at the entrance, so go early. 

Gallery Henoch  presents works by seven contemporary painters titled 'The City'.  Some of the artists included are Sharon Sprung, Alexandra Pacula and Max Ferguson. Go see it, if you like representational art, inspired by New York City.

Tony Scherman's 'fictional portraiture' is on display at Winston Wachter Fine Art.  His works are 'renowned for his encaustic technique', and this show is centered around Shakespeare's Hamlet.  See it if you like unique portraiture with a modern twist.

So many more shows to talk about and not enough time!

Here are some pics from current exhibitions,
