During the holiday season of 2005-2006, the George
Walter Vincent Smith Art Museum in Springfield, MA, exhibited the works
of Lisa Lichtenfels. Featured were 12 new works, including two
life-sized fabric sculptures. There was a large photographic exhibit on
the walls with images spanning 20 years of the artist’s career.
In-progress displays showed how these realistic figures in nylon fabric
were created, including an ongoing video of hands-on instructions.
Finally, a large diorama, “The Krazy Horse Saloon,” was
reconstructed with 20 figures and a one-third life-sized bar and stage
environment.
