Top 10 Art Shows
2008
DAVID JAGER, LEAH SANDALS AND FRAN SCHECHTER

KELLY RICHARDSON’S TWILIGHT AVENGER AT BIRCH LIBRALATO OFFERED ONE OF THE YEAR’S MOST ARRESTING IMAGES.
#3. KELLY RICHARDSON at Birch Libralato, July 24 to September 6

Richardson used her consummate skill as a videographer and animator to construct videos that cleverly subverted and toyed with our ideas of what is natural and actual in both nature and art.
