This is a new exhibition by New York-based, Israeli born artist, Izhar Patkin. This exhibition is the first in a new series in the second floor Offit Gallery presenting works by artists in all media, as well as installations of art and artifacts from the Museum's collection. The exhibition consists of two major works. The first is 'You Tell Us What To Do Act III,' a painting for four walls on pleated illusion (tulle) veils that envelop the entire perimeter of the ornate Offit Gallery like a continuous mural. The other is a 12-foot tall clear glass sculpture titled 'The Messiah's glAss,' a figurative tour-de-force produced at the Centre International de Recherche Sur le Verre et les Arts Plastiques (CIRVA), Marseille, over a five year period from 2003 to 2007.
