“The Glow of Love” by Kim Matthews Opens Soon

2022-09-13T21:57:31-04:00Exhibition|

The modestly sized wall-mounted and freestanding sculptures in Kim Matthews’ latest exhibition, titled The Glow of Love after a 1980 song by the post-disco group Change, are geometry splashing through color. They bring us somewhere new, inspiring fresh perspectives on the way objects and our selves exist in the world.

Martha Bird | Gallery Sales | Susan Hensel Gallery

Martha Bird: Sales Are a Good Thing Martha Bird’s sold piece, Then to Now, just shipped to the art consultant today. SCORE! You never know exactly where sales will come from.  Martha’s show with Susan Hensel Gallery, Body Work, ended in mid January. No sales during the show period. But four months later… But one of the beauties of online exhibitions is that the work can remain available after the exhibition if you have made that agreement with your gallery.  That was the case for Martha Bird. As a gallerist and artist, I want to give my represented artists the maximum flexibility possible because, from my experience it can take a long time for buyers to pull-the-trigger on a purchase…like YEARS!   […]

Reader's Art 9 opened with Reading The white gloves were donned and the intense readers arrived. I've had such a quiet opening. As in so little talking! They were reading deeply. There will surely be more pictures on Monday when Zach downloads his camera. Zach, my Monday salvation. Does a better job of photographing the openings than I. These were the only photos I remembered to shoot. I get so caught up with the clients that I forget about my camera. I'll be interested to see what he caught on "film." He had to run out and manage an opening as a favor for ArtSpace at Lake Nokomis Presbyterian Church. Susan Hensel Gallery The focus of Susan Hensel Gallery is on compelling objects, meaningful use of materials, and engaging sculpture.
