Contemporary Art: Paintings Of Porcelain Figurines @ Half Gallery New York


(Drivebycuriosity) - Manhattan´s East Village is a
cluster of dives and fast food places, but there is at least one art gallery which has frequently interesting exhibitions: Half Gallery. They display now works by Czech artist Adéla Janská (halfgallery). The show is called "Naked as Paper".
