Arlene ShechetKind of Blue

Recent sculptures in clay and other materials, colored in pastel blues, yellows and oranges, in Galerie Lelong’s first exhibition of Shechet’s work.

Shechet leaves fingerprints, seams, drips, cracks and firing marks visible, and her pieces lean, balance and hang as if caught mid-movement. The show includes Touching Ground, a recent series of irregular rectangular frames holding modeled and cut clay forms, two of them jutting from the wall on steel supports; Sometimes a Bird (2025) at the entrance; and Magic Mountain (2026), a large painted sculpture to walk around. The title nods to the Miles Davis album.
