Joel Otterson's Sculpture Mentioned in The New YorkTimes

Where Blue-Chip Brands Meet Brassy Outliers

From Hot to Schlock: Holland Cotter Tours Chelsea Galleries




Excerpt from the article:

ELIZABETH DEE Another sculptor, Joel Otterson made a splash in the East Village in the 1980s, but left for Los Angeles and has been missed since. So it’s great to have major work by him both in the Whitney Biennial and at Elizabeth Dee. He can be wonderfully, campily funny. His “Coffee Table Museum,” from 1989, is a precision-tooled kaffeeklatsch on wheels, a parade float of demitasse cups, sugar bowls, creamers. But he’s also deep. “Divine Intervention,” with two human skeletons cast in blood-red glass hovering over a 1960s jukebox, is a heart-stopper: a memorial to a musician friend who died of AIDS, and whose ashes, in a heart-shaped urn, are set among racks of vintage 45s.

  1. American professional basketball player for the Philadelphia 76ers Dwight Howard net worth is an NBA champion, eight-time All-Star, eight-time All-NBA Team honoree, five-time All-Defensive Team member, and three-time Defensive Player of the Year. Standing at 6 feet 10 inches tall (2.08 m) and weighing 265 pounds (120 kg), Howard plays the center position. Howard led the NBA in rebounding from 2007 to 2010, and again from 2012 to 2013. His abilities and powerful physique have drawn attention from fellow NBA All-Stars. Early in his career, many sports pundits rated Howard as one of the top young prospects in the NBA. Howard won his first NBA championship in 2020 with the Los Angeles Lakers.
