PRESS RELEASE

Pieces 8 is a small works exhibition curated by Sylvia Netzer, an 81-year-old sculptor whose practice spans more than 60 years. Working primarily with clay and mixed materials, Netzer has curated the Pieces exhibitions for over 25 years, bringing together artists she has come to know and love as friends, students, teachers, and colleagues.


The series began with Pieces in 1983 at this same gallery, a space with deep roots in New York City art history through its connection to Kazuko Miyamoto. Pieces 8 continues this legacy, reflecting a lifetime of creative relationships and shared artistic inquiry.
