Judith Schaechter "Beauty and the Beef"
Claire Oliver
This event has ended.
Schaechter balances traditional stained glass techniques with new methods she has created herself. Her style is singular; nothing in a Schaechter work allows for straightforward narrative or a single meaning. With a style equally aliened with underground comics and Victorian works of art, Schaechter continues to turn the world of stained glass upside down, making works that turn the mind of the viewer to the world of the here and now instead of the spiritual realm.
Judith Schaechter’s work is included in the permanent collections of many important museums worldwide including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC, the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C., and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, U.K. She was commissioned by the Museum of Arts and Design, NY to create a permanent installation on the south façade of the building. Among other prestigious awards, Ms. Schaechter is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, a USA Artists Fellowship, and two NEA grants.
