Comments (0) By Olivia Flores Alvarez Thursday, Oct 13 2011

Personal love letters and family wedding rings make their way into the exhibit “Perspectives 176: Glen Fogel: With Me … You.” The letters are oversize trompe l’oeil paintings of real notes New York artist Glen Fogel received while he was in high school, complete with wrinkles, stains and fold lines. From Jamie, August 20 reads, “Glen Fogel, what magic and enchantment that name is to me,” while From Jess, September 30, 1994 reads, “You were just a heartless, selfish, immature wannabe.”
