WILL KURTZ (MFA 2009, Fellow 2010) - NY Daily News

But Kurtz is in fact a gray-haired, 54-year-old former landscape architect from Flint, Mich.

Toys – how we relate to them and the memories and connections we make, both positive and negative, have played an immeasurable role in contemporary culture. Toys never completely lose their original purpose, but it is this familiarity of the toy that enlivens and enhances the dialogue between the artist and the viewer.

Works by Morton Bartlett, Nick Cave, Peter Drake, Laurence Hegarty, D. Dominick Lombardi, Takashi Murakami and others.  Read more...
