There is a wonderful exhibition of small, very small, pieces of art at the Dodge Gallery. For this show, the painter, Chuck Webster, selected and brought together 53 works and 41 named artists. The connections between the pieces are not instantly obvious, but just spend a little time looking at them and you will generate all sorts of links. I have become accustomed to gallery spaces hung only with huge paintings. There is something very special, restful, and intriguing about being in space where I had to look very up close at each of the pieces displayed. One seems no bigger than one square inch. Magic happens here.
The Dodge Gallery is at 15 Rivington Street in New York City. The show The Age of Small Things is there through February 23, 2014.
