An Early Shirt

An Early Shirt. Reader’s Art continues to have visitors. Tara O’Brien’s book is especially popular right now, what with all the economic news! My response is, “Who knew fine binding could be made so small?” It even has leather doublures!

In other news, I just learned Friday, that Jon Coffelt will be coming out from New York for the opening of Communion, barring family emergencies. Today we begin showing you a few of the miniatures that Jon Coffelt will be bringing here in April.17

Interestingly, Jon Coffelt was able to see the selvage on this particular original and found out that it was made in 1952. He actually made two shirts from this garment. The other has long sleeves for whatever reason. Both are 100% screen-printed cotton. This example has a button-down collar.

About Susan Hensel Gallery – Contemporary Art by Susan Hensel

Opened September 10th, 2004, Susan Hensel Gallery was a gallery/ workspace presenting 5-6 shows per year devoted to the concept of narrative in the arts in an intimate space. With hardwood floors and high tin ceilings. The Susan Hensel Gallery is now both a window gallery on Cedar Avenue. The main thoroughfare in south Minneapolis and an online venture represented on Artsy.net.

In March 2013, the interior space reverted to a working studio for Susan Hensel where she continues to work on small and large scale artwork with an attitude. You can find her current work at Susan Hensel Projects. The studio remains open to the public by appointment or chance. On Monday-Saturday, 10 am-5 pm.  You are welcome to drop by this gallery/workspace at any time. But a call ahead prevents frustration. The well-lit Windows on Cedar Project are available to be seen 24 hours a day.
