New York

As part of its 15th anniversary celebration, The Fisher Landau Center for Art is presenting two exciting new exhibitions organized by Bill Katz, the museum's curator, from the private collection of Emily Fisher Landau. Paper includes more than 200 rarely (and in some cases never) seen works by artists ranging from Joe Andoe, Carl Andre, and Richard Artschwager to James Wyeth, Tadanori Yokoo, and Lisa Yuskavage. Remembering Michael Hurson features 15 of Hurson's sly images (some on loan from other collections), including a portrait of Mrs. Landau, commissioned in 1987. After meeting Michael Hurson, known for his whimsical paintings and drawings of humans and inanimate objects, Emily Fisher Landau began collecting the artist's work in depth. The exhibition is a tribute to Hurson and is the first show of his work since his sudden death in January 2007. There is an opening reception on Saturday, May 19th from 3 to 6 pm, and the exhibit will be up through December 2007.
