Sherry Markovitz Shimmer Art Exhibit
The remarkable talent and inspiring innovation of Seattle-based artist Sherry Markovitz, will come to life in a retrospective exhibition and accompanying publication. The Museum of Art at Washington State University hosts Markovitz’s captivating work beginning February 22. Known for her seductive, obsessively-beaded animal heads, Markovitz's ostensible "craft" forms often obscure deeper psychological exploration. Museum of Art/WSU director Chris Bruce writes in the introduction to the book: "Through more than a quarter of a century of work, there has been a remarkable consistency which stems from Markovitz's powerful intensity of focus, combined with an absolute acceptance of beauty that she regularly expands to opulence."
