Press Release

For Art Forum Berlin 2007, Alexander Gray Associates presented a solo exhibition of works by New York-based artist Cary Leibowitz. A re-creation of Leibowitz’ iconic Candy Ass Carnival installations from the early 1990s, the booth at Art Forum Berlin amalgamated hundreds of individual artworks and multiples. In a dense salon-style hanging, low-tech paintings and massproduced editions—including hand-painted wooden signs, ceramics, school pennants, footballs, car window screens, inflatable toys, and works on paper-showcased Leibowitz’ signature humor and cultural commentary, replete with riotous color, pattern, and text.
