An Artistic Trip To Krakow

Don’t know where to begin to describe revelatory exhibit of Erna Rosenstein’s debut at Hauser & Wirth uptown. The Polish artist who was born in 1913 became an ardent radical, survived the murder of her parents during the war ( how did she escape death?) and went on to participate in the rise of the Krakow Group artists collective, making luscious both abstract and figurative work. Juxtaposing her works of alchemy, fairy tales and magic cabinets, this rich show is transporting.
