Martha Erlebacher

During the course of her lifetime, Martha Mayer Erlebacher became a contemporary master of representational art and a formidable educator. Until now, the totality of her work hasn't been fully explored. Including poignant nudes, intriguing still-lifes and her critical reflections of the art world evidenced through her Avant Duck Series, the Martha Erlebacher Retrospective will create a vivid portrait of the artist. Adding to this tribute is its setting at the New York Academy of Art where Erlebacher was named Faculty Chair in 1999 and spent fourteen years teaching.
