Alexis Smith

Garth Greenan Gallery is pleased to announce Alexis Smith, an exhibition of collages at 529 West 20th Street. Opening on Thursday, October 22, 2015, the exhibition is the first presentation of Smith’s work in a New York gallery in over a decade. Twelve of the artist’s meticulously crafted mixed-media collages will be on view, most of which have never before been exhibited. A fully illustrated catalogue will accompany the exhibition, with an essay by Anna Stothart.

The exhibition and its accompanying publication provide an overview of Smith’s work from 1994 to 2015. Combining images, objects, and texts rescued from the detritus of popular culture—pulp novels of the 1940s and 1950s, postcards, road maps, movie stills, and advertising art—into witty, often sardonic statements, the artist examines and remakes what can be seen as America’s soul.
