I've curated over 200 group art shows in the DC area since the mid 90s, and my formula for group shows is essentially nearly always the same, and a proven, successful, and bordering on brilliant technique:
- the group show is a pyramid of artists at various points in their artistic career and development - blue chip, well-known artists;
- a large set of well-known, mid career artists;
- and the pyramid's wide and powerful base: a set of young (not simply in age, but perhaps also in artistic age - think of a 95 year-old artist who just started painting five years ago) artists who need the exposure and push that a well-attended, widely publicized, and wildly successful art show offers their young careers.
I was first seduced by Jenny Kanzler's work when I came across it at last year's Artomatic. It stood out as different from the thousands and thousands of paintings at that fabulous show, which is a very unique accomplishment. She will be one of the big hits of the 2025 Women Artists of the DMV survey show.
Prepare to be seduced and behold "Goat Girls - Sunday Afternoon," c. 2024, Oil on canvas, 24 x 30 inches.
