Figuren

Garth Greenan Gallery is pleased to announce Norbert Prangenberg: Figuren, an exhibition of paintings and sculptures at 545 West 20th Street. Opening on Thursday, March 2, 2017, the exhibition features five of the artist’s large-scale ceramics and five paintings. It is the first time that any of these works have been shown in a gallery outside of Europe.

Prangenberg’s monumental ceramics, begun in the 1980s, are often simple geometric forms—usually ovals—with surfaces punctuated by finger marks, holes, and added cylindrical or circular elements. They are bulbous and hollow, lying on their sides like imaginary archaeological fragments, with glazes crawling and crazing both inside and out.

Garth Greenan Gallery is pleased to represent the Estate of Norbert Prangenberg.
