Congratulations to Gallery Onetwentyeight on their 40th Anniversary Opening celebration November 7. 5:00-7:00-22, 2026. Details Below!

Gallery Onetwentyeight's  anniversary exhibition featuring artists Kazuko Miyamoto runs Nov. 7-22,2026

Welcome to the Neighborhood: Forty Years of Gallery Onetwentyeight  A group exhibition celebrating the gallery's 40th anniversary.  November 7 - 22, 2026  Friday - Sunday, 1:00 PM - 6:00 PM    Welcome to the Neighborhood: Forty Years of Gallery Onetwentyeight brings together more than forty artists who have had long relationships with the gallery and its founder, artist Kazuko Miyamoto. An opening celebration will be held on Saturday, November 7, from 5-7 pm. Miyamoto established the lower east side gallery before the building was modernized. At the time, the space still had beautiful ceramic tile floors and tin ceiling tiles. Miyamoto learned of its availability in 1986 through her old friend Richard Armijo, proprietor of a bookstore next door.    More than simply a static place to exhibit art, Gallery Onetwentyeight was a hub and a touchstone for Kazuko’s broader connectivity with art and artists. She and some artists built Sol LeWitt sculptures there. They walked from Rivington Street to Soho galleries to install or repair LeWitt works. Kazuko packed up gallery artworks, including her own, and took them to Europe for exchange exhibitions. At times Kazuko used the space as her studio. Always, it was a locus for creation, thought, gathering and conversation. Her natural inclination was toward inclusivity. Everyone was welcome and she gave innumerable artists an opportunity to show their work.  After forty years, it is difficult to separate Gallery Onetwentyeight from Kazuko’s life as an artist. It was her lifelong project: a space that has continued to evolve through art, friendship, work, travel, and community.    The exhibition features works by Angela Valeria, April Vollmer, Akemi Takeda, Amir Bay, Ayakoh Furukawa-Leonart, Carol Salmanson, Chris Craig, Chris Passehl, Christopher Knowles, Cristián Pietrapiana, David Higginbotham, Eiji Matsukubo, Eric Ginsburg, Fumio Yamaguchi, Gerald Jackson, Haruko Mochimaru, Howard McCalebb, Hugh Burckhardt, Ilona Pachler, Jacek Maczynski, Janet Passehl, Jefre Harwoods, John Hogan, Joan Criswell, Kaitlin Martin, Katsumi Suzuki, Kazuko Hyakuda, Kikunobu Ozaki, Kotatsu Iwata, Leela Ramotar, Maxwell Stevens, Mieko Mitachi, Nancy Linn, Olivia Beens, Orestes Gonzalez, Orin Buck, Paul Fischnaller, Ptah Miller, Richard Armijo, Sanae M Buck, Sante Scardillo, Sol LeWitt, Sylvia Netzer, Sumayyah Samaha, Taku Arita, Todd Ayoung, Toki Ozaki, Toyo Tsuchiya, Vernita Nemec, Yoshiko Chuma, and Kazuko Miyamoto.

Kazuko Miyamoto was born in Tokyo in 1942 and moved to New York City in 1968. That same year, she moved into her first studio at 117 Hester Street on the Lower East Side, a building also occupied by Adrian Piper and Sol LeWitt. Miyamoto and LeWitt met during a fire-alarm in the neighborhood one night. They soon became collaborators, with Miyamoto fabricating LeWitt's early Open Cube Structures and executing his early Wall Drawings, including those exhibited at the Guggenheim Museum in 1971. In 1972, Miyamoto became an early member of New York’s A.I.R. Gallery, the first nonprofit all-women artist collective in the United States. She held five solo exhibitions there and co-curated two group shows. In 1986 she founded Gallery Onetwentyeight at 128 Rivington Street, the longest continuously operating gallery on the Lower East Side. Miyamoto’s art is included in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), the Museum of Modern Art (New York), Princeton University Art Museum (Princeton), National Museum of Modern Art (Kyoto) ,Smithsonian American Art Museum (Washington D. C.), Yale University Art Gallery (New Haven), and the Daimler Art Collection (Berlin), among others.

Bruce Silverstein~ Constantin Brancusi: The Photographs,~A Special on line edition. Details below.

 

Coinciding with the Museum of Modern Art’s forthcoming exhibition Brancusi: The Artist and His Studio, Bruce Silverstein presents more than 30 rare vintage photographs that Constantin Brâncuși himself took and printed, spanning nearly the full range of his photographic practice: individual sculptures, groupes mobiles, studio views, self-portraits, and still lifes of natural forms, including flowers. Photography was never secondary to Brâncuși’s sculpture. As he produced fewer new sculptural forms, the camera became an increasingly important outlet for his creative energy—a means of documenting the continually changing installation of his studio, studying individual sculptures and natural forms, and transforming what he saw there. Photography allowed him to make permanent effects that were otherwise fleeting: the passage of light across polished bronze, cast shadow, reflection, glare, silhouette, negative space, and the shifting relationship between one form and another. Within the photograph, these elements became as deliberate as mass, material, and form. The studio itself developed into an evolving, organic installation in which sculptures, bases, furniture, light, and space were continually reconsidered. These relationships became so important that Brâncuși ultimately left the contents of his studio to the French state with provisions for its reconstruction. His photographic archive was extensive, yet relatively few prints left his possession during his lifetime, making surviving examples in private hands exceptionally rare. Those that did leave the studio often passed directly to family, friends, and members of his artistic circle. Works in this presentation include examples from James Johnson Sweeney, the influential museum curator and director; John Constantin Brâncuși Moore, Brâncuși’s own son; and Marthe Lebherz, a dancer and close companion of the artist. Taken together, the presentation offers an unusually complete view of Brâncuși’s photographic achievement and of photography’s central role in how he composed, reconsidered, documented, and ultimately preserved his sculptural world.

For nearly five decades, Butterfield has dedicated her practice to craftsmanship, material experimentation, and nuanced depictions of horses, exploring the expressive and formal possibilities of her chosen subject matter and materials. Preview the Exhibition Deborah Butterfield: New Work brings together a remarkable new body of her signature bronze sculptures, including the commanding, life-sized Kákini (2026), one of several new sculptures created from manzanita branches that the artist sourced from gallery principal Cheryl Haines’ property in the Sierra Nevada foothills of California. Other works in the exhibition were created from driftwood gathered in Montana, woody sage from Wyoming, and 'O'hia branches from Hawaii, with which Butterfield achieves an extraordinary range of posture, expression, and attitude. Graceful and evocative, Butterfield's equine sculptures offer a moving meditation on the connections between humans, animals, and the environments we inhabit. Join us for the opening reception on Friday, November 13, 5:30 – 7:30 PM.
