4/11/2018

Amboy by Edie Nadelhaft

frosch&portmann (53 Stanton Street, New York) presents One For The Road, an exhibit of work by Edie Nadelhaft and Yanik Wagner. There will be an opening from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, April 12, 2018.

The title refers to the mixed-blessing of the USA's car dependence. Pieces range from picturesque back roads to freeway overpasses. The idea of motion is ever present as is a notion of melancholy that comes with the monotony of the daily grind and the anonymity that our automotive lifestyle sometimes brings. The title of the exhibition comes from the 1943 song by Johnny Mercer One More for My Baby (and One more for the Road).
