Fragile Earth
Artists Respond to Climate Change
Barbara Sherman, director of Art at First Gallery, conceived Save the Earth as the New York Artists Circle’s response to the climate crisis, and we curated it together. The pandemic canceled the show before it could hang, so we revised, reformatted, and renamed it, and it opened online on March 1, 2021.
It was the first new show in the Circle’s online Curated Shows, which I helped design. The 48 artists answered from many vantage points: forests in bloom and on fire, melting glaciers, aerial views of threatened landscapes, endangered animals and plants, and the beauty and threat of our industrial world, in paint, sculpture, mixed media, printmaking, collage, and photography.
