Roz Chast
Theories of Everything

November 30 - December 23, 2006

Our second exhibition of work by noted artist and cartoonist Roz Chast is scheduled to coincide with the publication of a 400 page monograph surveying her work from 1978-2006. Our exhibition will feature more than forty of these works, with a selection of drawings in black and white and gouaches. Chast's classic themes and characters are seen in their nascent forms in the late 70s and evolve along with her life and our history. A majority of the cartoons were originally published in the New Yorker, and others have appeared in Town and Country, Popular Science, Travel and Leisure.
