DEBORAH BUTTERFIELDNew Sculptures May 30 - August 9, 2025opening reception: Friday, May 30th - 4 to 7pm&nbsp;Zolla/Lieberman Gallery is pleased to announce&nbsp;Deborah Butterfield: New Sculptures, a solo exhibition showcasing the latest work by the celebrated American sculptor known for her iconic interpretations of the horse. The show opens with a reception on Friday, May 30th, from 4:00 to 7:00pm, and continues through Saturday, August 9th, 2025.&nbsp;For over forty years, Deborah Butterfield has devoted her practice to a singular subject—the horse—transforming discarded materials such as driftwood and reclaimed steel into powerful and poetic forms. Her sculptures, often cast in bronze, retain the detail and composition of the original materials, resulting in works that convey a refined physicality and commanding presence.&nbsp;This new exhibition brings together a selection of recent sculptures that highlight Butterfield's ongoing investigation into balance, stillness, and gesture. Ranging from intimate studies to commanding full-scale figures, each piece conveys a thoughtful sense of character and emotion without relying on traditional realism. Instead, Butterfield builds her subjects through structure and silhouette, allowing material and negative space to suggest movement, weight, and spirit.&nbsp;Butterfield's sculptures have been featured in prominent museums and institutions across the globe. Her work is included in the permanent collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Hirshhorn Museum, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, among many others.&nbsp;VIEW: Deborah Butterfield - New Sculptures

Early prototypes of 3D printers can be traced back to the 1980's in Japan, but not until more recently have we seen contemporary jewelers incorporating this technology into their creative practices. Three international artists -&nbsp;Eve Balashova, Lynne MacLachlan, and Ryungjae Jung - each utilize this modality of creating, exemplifying what it means to bring 3D printed jewelry to the highest standard. On June 5, 2025 you're invited to see the exhibition in person while enjoying a glass of champagne and charcuterie! Try the work on and chat with our knowledgeable team members about contemporary art jewelry. This event is free and open to the public.

On April 17 from 6-8pm The Poetry Foundation will host a poetry reading, artist talk, and reception to celebrate the opening of the exhibition Escaramuza, the Poetics of Home. Free and open to all. The opening will feature an artist talk by Jaeggi, followed by readings by Sáenz and Silva, and closing with a celebratory reception featuring music by Sones de México Ensemble.&nbsp; A window into the subculture of Mexican American women’s equestrian performance, presented through poetry and photography, Escaramuza is a collaborative work by photographer Constance Jaeggi and poets Angelina Sáenz and ire’ne lara silva. The exhibition explores escaramuza, the team sport of women’s precision horse riding, addressing complex themes of identity, family, and gender with a lush combination of poetry and photography.&nbsp; Escaramuza, translated from Spanish as “skirmish,” is the team sport of women’s precision horse riding within charrería—the Mexican national sport of roping, equestrian activities, and working with cattle. Inspired by the soldaderas (women soldiers) of the Mexican Revolution, teams ride sidesaddle during intricately choreographed dances set to music while wearing vivid, traditional Mexican dresses.

Escaramuza, the Poetics of Home

Nathan Brad Hall's work comes together in this show to build an undeniably jaw dropping experience for viewers. “Undercurrents,” says Hall, “is about trying to find a way to capture the underlying layers of emotion and have that emotion resonate outwards. It’s the hum of electricity just below the surface, pulsing and cracking, that influences the way we move about in the world.” Based in New York and known for his large-scale figure paintings, Hall’s work offers glimpses into the intensity and vulnerability of being human. He says, "working at a sizable scale allows the viewer to become enveloped in the figure's deep humanity."Hall's monumentally scaled work is defined by his use of dramatic lighting. In each work, he illuminates specific areas of the figure and their surroundings as the rest fades away into deep shadows. While Hall's work displays his knowledge and technique with painting realism, bits and pieces of texture pop out throughout the body of work. Highlights of selectively placed thickly painted marks bring his work to a whole new level of depth. The selective marks reward viewers as they view the work up close, until they fade into the image from afar. Hall states, "Using both expressive and refined brush strokes of various thickness, my work uses the physical nature of oil paint to explore the balance of energy and stillness that can make the human figure come alive."Nathan Brad Hall lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. With a background in both abstract and figurative studies, his focus today is on figurative oil painting, attempting to capture the light that illuminates us all. He has shown his work extensively in group and solo exhibitions in NYC and beyond and can be found in private collections across the U.S. and internationally.Image: Nathan Brad Hall,&nbsp;Day Break, oil on linen, 58&nbsp;x 58&nbsp;inches

Mark Flickinger's&nbsp;reputation as a painter is one of&nbsp;personal&nbsp;experience of the land, patience, attention to detail, and above all, as an insightful artist with unmatched powers of observation. For years, Flickinger has&nbsp;marveled collectors and art viewers with his ability to transport us to the sites that bring him such joy. This current exhibition features selected paintings of locations in the Pacific Northwest, Upstate New York, and the Forest of&nbsp;Fontainebleau, near the village of Barbizon, France.While these paintings are based on specific locations,&nbsp;Flickinger&nbsp;has a way of making the work speak in a universal way, imparting values about the importance and beauty of the natural world that are universal.

Pistachios is collaborating with Precious Collective to host an exhibition titled Things Unsaid, which will be at Pistachios from August 14, 2025 to October 26, 2025 before traveling to Munich Jewelry Week in 2026. The exhibition features 35 members from Precious Collective, an international community of artists that are bound together by their ambiguous definitions of what exactly ‘precious’ is in relation to jewelry. Conceptually, the exhibition will explore: What is a tangible manifestation for the things unsaid? How can we extend the voice of materiality through acts of making? Where does the metaphysical influence the language of jewelry? This is the first time Precious Collective will be featured in the United States. On Thursday, August 14, 2025 from 4:00pm to 7:00pm we'll be hosting a reception to celebrate the exhibition with Lynne Speake, the Founder and Creative Director of Precious Collective, in attendance.&nbsp;
