Shoshana Wayne Gallery is proud to announce our participation in the prestigious ADAA Art Show at the Park Avenue Armory in New York, opening to the public November 3, with a solo presentation of works from the past 3 decades by prominent American artist Rachel Lachowicz. 

Lachowicz has dedicated her career to confronting gender norms and what she sees as the fallacy of gender neutrality in art history. Lachowicz uses cosmetics as a social signifier for feminine allure and sexuality, but also as a radical disruption of dominant paradigms, at times translating seminal objects in art history into feminist statements via the creative materials she uses. 

The selection for the Art Show will include a group of iconic works from the early 1990s onward. One of the highlights is one of her popular sculptures of Duchamp’s urinals, made of red lipstick, which are today part of several museum collections. Also on display will be three new eyeshadow paintings, a medium she has worked in for three decades, and the installation artwork “Forensic Projection”, for which the artist created 3 life-sized versions of her head shown at successive stages in the aging process. Also on view will be a video of a seminal 1992 performance, “Red Not Blue”, which is part of the cannon of feminist art history.

Shoshana Wayne Gallery is moving to a new space at 5247 West Adams Ave. Los Angeles. Please visit us on line at shoshanawayne.com for opening hours and directions.
