A life in the art world may have been inevitable for Ivy Crewdson. As the only child of the sculptor Joel Shapiro, she grew up surrounded by art and artists. But finding her own way has been anything but a straight path.
Crewdson started out studying sculpture at Oberlin College in Ohio before transferring to do art history at New York University, and going on to get her masters at the Institute of Fine Arts. She worked for a decade at Barbara Gladstone’s gallery, and as an art adviser for 13 years with Allan Schwartzman, most recently at Art Agency, Partners (AAP) which was bought by Sotheby’s in 2016. But last year, Crewdson branched out alone, leaving to launch her own boutique advisory business.
Stanley Rosen: Slabs and coils, scallops and disks February 6, 2021 2:30 pm

Contributed by Rachel Youens / Stanley Rosen came of age as a sculptor during the 1960s and 1970s, when ceramicists and sculptors were challenging the hegemonic hold that painting had in the art world as the medium of heroic significance. His sculptures are made at a modest scale that, somewhat paradoxically, implies monumentality. Incorporating and cross-pollinating vessels and architecture, his formal language adapts traditional methods to new expressions. He employs slabs, coils, scallops, disks, and tiles. Most works are unglazed in various earthen clay hues – ochers, siennas, or charcoal – leaving us to ponder porous or metallic surfaces. Crucially, Rosen’s forms accommodate the spatial limits they meet and inhabit, welcoming viewers in.
