This event has ended.
Andrew Edlin Gallery presents a solo exhibition of works by the renowned self-taught American artist Eugene Von Bruenchenhein (1910 - 1983), its first since becoming the exclusive representative of his estate. In the early 1940s, Von Bruenchenhein embarked on a prolific artistic journey as a maker of a diverse range of images and sculptural objects that included visionary paintings, photographic portraits of his wife, chicken-bone constructions, ceramic flowers and vessels, large-scale concrete masks, and poems-all of which will be on view in King of Lesser Lands. The title of this exhibition is taken from the artist’s own writings, a fictitious and humorous self-professed moniker arising from his belief that both he and his wife had indeed descended from nobility.
