Jerry Saltz | Shinichi Sawada | Venus over Manhattan

In March 2021, Art Critic Jerry Saltz visited the Shinichi Sawada solo exhibition at Venus over Manhattan, New York. This joint show, in collaboration with Jennifer Lauren Gallery, received much press including within the New York Times. Jerry visited and recorded this short video in the space. Thanks to New York Magazine and Jerry Saltz for letting us share this video. (NOTE: Click on the four arrows facing outwards to make this video full screen.)

”I am here looking at some extraordinary, visionary, ceramic, almost shamanic, kind of gripping work. They look like animal architecture, crowns, masks... and strange things at the bottom of the ocean.”
