10 Things to Do in the New York Art World Before June 26: “Patrick Van Caeckenbergh” at Lehmann Maupin
By Paul Laster
Belgian artist Patrick Van Caeckenbergh presents a sculptural installation and a series of drawings in his first exhibition with powerhouse gallery Lehmann Maupin. A conceptual artist, Mr. Van Caeckenbergh displays 200 hand-blown, discarded glass bell jars that once protected religious icons. The display’s mirrored shelves give the illusion that the jars go on ad infinitum. Surrounding the installation on the gallery walls is a series of graphite drawings of trees in winter.
